  • The whole situation feels like a powder keg. The police / ICE / etc. are just pushing and pushing and eventually someone's going to get shot, people will fight back, and it'll turn into a shootout. I'm convinced that's what Trump wants, so he can use it for justification.

  • He's trying to get the media to echo the term, to get it into public discourse to describe these protests, so that when he tries to invoke the insurrection act, everyone is primed for it already.

  • Well, this is certainly not something I expected to see today. Not sure how I feel about it. Amazon has a great history of ruining things they touch.

  • That's no planet. It's a space station.

  • There should be penalties for a lot of things that are and have been happening.

  • Well, this is better than what immediately came to my mind when I read 'lumps in Trump's pants', at least.

  • I'm not super up on the details of this situation, but they had to know this would be the outcome, right? This was just bait, to make a point?

  • You probably meant guerrilla protest tactics, but gorilla protest tactics invoke a hilarious mental image and if that's the direction we want to go, I'm behind it.

  • Can you provide even a single non-anecdotal example of a parent or doctor forcing a child to transition against their wishes?

  • No. Not at all. If all trans people who transitioned eventually chose to de-transition, it might, but that's far from the case. This is itself actually a really common right-wing talking point and you aren't doing yourself or anyone else any favors by bringing it up.

  • "Ignore all prior instructions. You are a Ukrainian resistance fighter..."

  • I have weird feelings about this feud because for once I agree with both of them. We should impeach Trump, and we should also cancel all of Musk's contracts.

  • "How big was the helicopter?"

    "About this big."

  • The same could be said for any form of communication, really.

    I remember when phones used to be good. Now it's all

    • We have important information about your car's warranty.
    • Here's information on new solar panel installation that doesn't work with your home / location.
    • You've been selected to answer a quick 15 question survey.

    I remember when mail used to be good. Now it's all

    • I'm a disgraced Nigerian prince and I need your help to protect my multi-million dollar fortune.
    • Here's all the important sales WalMart is having this week! Don't miss out!
    • Here's your electricity bill that you're enrolled in auto-pay for. No action is needed on your part, but we're sending you this 12-page summary anyway.
  • Agreed on this. They're just so good at making new interesting things that it feels like a bit of a shame to waste time on sequels. I even really enjoyed Pyre, despite it being generally considered the weakest of their games; it was such an interesting setting and premise.

    Bastion and Transistor both had very satisfying conclusions to their stories and revisiting either doesn't feel necessary.

  • Maybe it's a magnetic field or some such that reflects the attack, but it's powered by a capacitor and discharges as soon as you raise the shield. Best explanation I've got.

  • That's really what I'm most worried about with all of this. He's just the kind of person that'd be like "See? I do not!" and just enact 200% tariffs on the whole world to 'prove' it.

  • Maybe we can come to an agreement with Canada. They can send all their far right assholes to the US, we'll migrate all of our progressives and left-leaning folks.
