Holy shit. So was there actually a position in the first place, or was the whole thing just a deceitful ploy to build a marketing list? Cos if it's the former it sounds like something that ought to be illegal (and very possibly already is)

I really wish I had learned this, that someone being nice to me for two days is not the same as them being a nice person, at age 12 and not when I actually did which was at age 47.

Crowds are expensive, computationally and asset-wise. Plus, shudder, what if the player wants to *talk* to them? So much dialogue to record and translate.
Nope, it's Capital City, Galactic HQ, population 12.

If you sell pretend cartoon swords I really don't think you get to judge people for playing pretend with them. What else are they good for?

Holland was reclaimed from the ocean using 1500s technology. I think we can keep the ocean out of Bakersfield if we really want to.
On the other hand: Bakersfield. Do we really want to save it?
@AOC
You clearly don't want to be in our party. No one's forcing you to stay. Go third party with your DSA friends (and see if you ever get elected to office again) or pipe down and play nice.

There is apparently a Japanese construction company, founded in 578. On the Western side we've got firms such as the Hudson's Bay Company, founded 2 May 1670. I don't think it's so wacky.

I never tire of telling the story of how I made this the warning at the entrance to a D&D dungeon and my players wanted to turn around and go home...

Your sense of rhythm, and ability to create it out of "found art" (as it were) is amazine. This is really very good. (Said J. Random Guyontheinternet, noted literary critic.)

Am I being arrested for my FASHION CHOICES?! For writing WORDS ON PAPER?! Tyranny, sir, I say this is Tyranny!

If you had ever been to Edmonton, you would understand that no one wants there to be a city north of there. In fact, Edmonton was probably a bad idea in the first place.

Don't worry, everyone, the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation is here to save children from the menace of (checks notes) their own parents.

This can't be the real timeline, can it? Any moment now, The Doctor is going to unplug the Paradox Engine and we'll revert to regular reality again, right?

@JasonKPargin
Yeah, well, they talked nonsense for ten years on Tumblr with no pushback, and now everyone embraces those poisonous and misbegotten doctrines. Pushback against toxic ideas is good, actually.
@robbysoave
The claim is not that this was in itself criminal conduct. The claim is that this is Trump's motivation for his criminal actions, which go well beyond speech.

This is not a serious suggestion, is it? A savings account? For young Canadians to save up the 1.4 million dollars it takes to buy a modest house in Canada's major cities?
I think that might take them a while, Minister. A longer time than they've got as "young Canadians".

I grew up knowing that the world could end at any moment from nuclear war and I'm only mildly neurotic. There's got to be some other factor.

Did you read the truck? It's all calling people extremists and transphobes, nothing about why anything in the article was actually wrong. Just personal attack and ad hominem. That's bullying.

My grandmother was a psychiatric nurse.
One day she picked up the daily paper and was greeted with a front-page story of how a local entrepreneur had bought a well-known dilapidated hotel downtown, with plans to renovate and reopen it.
The "entrepreneur" was her patient. He
