Very much so. I wish there was more in that world. The lore was really interesting to me. It's not often you get a story set on Mars that actually has something unique about it.

It's been a long time since the six-day-war. Most states in the middle east are more technologically capable than they were in 67. I'm thinking it's time for that coalition to form up again and gang bang Bibi and his buddies. We'd see some different results.

Transracial doesn't exist because "Race" in the context that they want to use it doesn't exist.

Genetically there's only one "race"; that's the human race. If they want to identify as a different culture, it's purely a cosmetic cultural thing, not biological or genetic. Whereas as being Transgender is biological. Therefore, you can safely tell people like Rachel Dolezal to fuck off and go back to fifth period science class.

Air Fryer. You can find basic models for under 100.

There's a lower budget game by Spiders called Technomancer that came out in 2016. It came up in my XBox game pass, so I played it before I read any reviews on it, and I honestly enjoyed the hell out of it.

I didn't find the combat stilted. It felt quite fun to work between three different fighting styles. The storyline was interesting and (to me anyway) original. And the Universe was pretty fun to play around in.

Just finishing about a new playthrough of Andromeda and I think it's larger problem is that the good content doesn't open up until a third of the way through the game. For the first third, you have very little to do except follow the Kett and the Angara storyline, and those are the absolute worst parts of the game.

It doesn't actually get good until it opens up and you're dealing with Outlaws, Collective, internal politics of the Nexus, the Krogan rebellion, etc... and your (admittedly pretty lame) companion quests. But at least it's something more than just two new species that aren't nearly as fleshed out or complete as what already existed.

By the time the game opens up and you can do more than just the main quest, you're already friggin bored.

The Rock. I'll be taking no further questions.

I’ve never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he’s ‘acting’, and never really embodies the characters or reacts ‘in the moment’. It’s all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.

Yes! exactly. You just summed up my thinking better than I could.

Leonardo DiCaprio.

Always hated him. Always called him a bad actor whose idea of acting amounts to throwing on a fake accent and literally nothing else to build his characters; no mannerisms, no method, no changing his body or his face. He's just Leonardo DiCaprio with an accent every...single...time.

Before The Revenant, when everyone was complaining about him being "snubbed" by the oscars, I always thought "no...he is legitimately fucking terrible...especially when he was younger" (ie. Romeo and Juliet, Titanic, Gangs of New York years). And I thought I was taking crazy pills since everyone else seemed to adore him because of Titanic.

And then immediately afterwards frame it as the United States 250th birthday. Shenanigans.

Sure would be nice if the media would stop just repeating his bullshit at face value.

"celebrating 250 years of the U.S. military.." Fuck off. Trump doesn't give a shit about the military. He wants a show for himself on his birthday. They should make that perfectly clear each and every time instead of just repeating whatever inane bullshit hillbilly barbie says at the podium.

One of the best. But messy as heck to eat.

Whether it's a roast pig, or a burger, or a pizza, there's a reason pineapple is always brought up.

Controversial or not, the concept of something being both savory and sweet at the same time is popular (and frankly...delicious) Heck, it's the whole reason Chocolate Covered Peanuts exist.

Pineapple is easily the best for that kind of combination. Apple comes in a close second (hence having an apple butter pork tenderloin, or apple sauce with pork chops, etc...

Why pineapple gets singled out and derided over every other fruit that does the same thing is just weird.

Would it not be "une chat"?

I thought French indefinite articles were gendered, like other romance languages like Portuguese and Spanish.

But it's been roughly 35 years since I dropped highschool french...

Shadowrun on the Sega Genesis. It led me to my favorite genre of...well...anything... It was my introduction to Cyberpunk, essentially. And in a lot of different ways, it's factored into most of hobbies (writing, painting, etc...)

Did his knowledge of the law leave with Elon, too?

Most regular people just use what came with their computer, unfortunately.

So this is a case of a company that made a browser to appeal to techies that didn't see widespread adoption, is pivoting to a new browser that is focused on the central conceit of a product that most techies decry...

Read the room, Arc. Read the room.

allegedly killed CEO Brian Thompson. Let's not forget that rather important bit.

The world doesn't run on "probably". Nothing ever gets accomplished by assuming "it'll probably happen anyway."
