Is that Hanford, CA? lol, I remember the drinking water problem there.

I just hope they eventually cast some fully Britishized actor originally out of Hong Kong… one trained in certain things Hong Kong actors are known for. I want a kung fu Doctor. :p

Semantics.

This seems like a no-brainer to me… though it probably isn’t. Obviously you have a constitutional right to sleep, wherever you can make space for yourself. If these cities and downs don’t want people sleeping outside, they need to provide indoor space for people who haven’t actually committed crimes. We treat our criminals better than we treat our homeless.

Our democracy is a great democracy the way an antique car is a great car: great in its time, but it’s time for an upgrade.

All they have to do is, instead of calling it a “law”, call it “militia regulation” instead. “Militia” is the entire arms bearing populace; if you own a gun, you are, by definition, part of the Militia. And the 2nd amendment doesn’t merely say “everyone has a gun”; it does so in context of maintaining a “well regulated militia”. All the right to “keep and bear arms” does is prevent them from requiring we store our arms in a central armory (which was one of the controversies over the matter in England when the right was in development).

I would say we also have a right to own a car. That doesn’t prevent them from requiring we maintain the capacity to bear responsibility if we should accidentally exercise that right improperly.

Because I played Dragon Quest and Zelda, I developed an unfortunate predilection for walking into strangers houses and smashing pots and vases and stuff. Took years of therapy to break that habit. :(

I still can’t even look at a barrel.

I’m pretty sure my brother reached numbers like this for Ghostbusters (TV edit) when he was a little kid.

Discomfort stimulates growth, but the actual growth happens during periods of recovery. That is true of the body, and I have little doubt it is true of the mind, as well. I’m not saying people should never step out of their comfort zone. But just like we shouldn’t be judging people at the gym because, from our perspective, they should be able to do more, we should be extending compassion to those of us who have difficulties in the mind, particularly considering we can only know our own perspective, not theirs. I mean, you wouldn’t expect a guy in a wheel chair to be doing leg presses, would you?

Never forget that if someone is lying, it’s because they expect someone else to believe them. There would be no point to trying to fool the Republican rank-and-file if a majority of them weren’t fools.

That said, there could be a significant amount of self-foolery going on.

No, see, it won’t, because of a vast left-wing conspiracy to persecute Donald Trump while letting Joe Biden (and Hillary Clinton) get away with everything. They used evil Satan magic to somehow make a conspiracy of millions work.

Humor involves the kind of mental agility that the right-wing mind is specifically incapable of… as in, that’s what makes them right-wing. Practically the defining characteristic of the right-wing is extreme discomfort with anything that deviates from “normal”.

“Evidence against Biden”. Just a bunch of lines. :p

I’ve probably seen it here more than on Reddit, but that’s because I spend more time in the general gaming community here, while on Reddit I was in the fan community specifically… particularly teslore, where “Duh, TES lore is stupid and random” doesn’t get much traction.

Would you recommend NMS to someone who:

1. Really wants to play Starfield but probably won’t have the necessary hardware for at least a year.

2. Is an old Bethsoft fan, having played, and thoroughly enjoyed, every TES game from Daggerfall to Online, excepting only Battlespire and the phone games.

3. Has been jonesing for some space sandbox for probably a decade at least.

I don’t know much about specs. I just find it fascinating that people are actually defending Bethesda in this post. Where’s the standard anti-Bethesda fandumb pile on?

Mario games are all right, except for all the platform jumping.

You don’t need the biggest map ever to make a good game. You do, however, need the biggest map ever to make a good Elder Scrolls game. People referring to BG3 don’t really understand the essence of the Elder Scrolls, a vision the series has pursued all the way back to Arena.

No, show her your Bionicle collection.
