You probably are also wondering the same thing we were — well, one of several things — which is how in the hell Sylvester Stallone got on this list. Is the next Rambo movie going to nod to modernity by rebooting the franchise with a bloodthirsty female Green Beret? Does he have a heretofore-unknown-to-us reputation as being a feminist filmmaker?

But last year’s 12-member award committee included Stewart as well as Jennifer Flavin Stallone, Sylvester’s wife.

Ah. Well then.

So this award is a joke now.

Look, we all know he didn't off himself, but here's my issue with these stories where a friend or family member says that the person said they told them it won't be suicide:

If Barnett really said that, why not also set up a dead man's switch? If he was truly afraid that he had info so damming he'd be killed for it, then why not set it up so that the info still finds a way to come out even in the event of his death?

If anything, ensuring the info comes out one way or another might have even protected him.

This is a neat trick to get evangelicals to believe in evolution.

Dude, can you at least do a bit of research first before clutching your pearls?

Hasn't it changed from FAANG to MAANA?

The first few lines reminded me of the game Nox

Edit: holy shit Nox came out 24 years ago today

Yeah, I feel like all Chinese companies profit off selling customer data first, selling products second.

Everyone is mad about this but I still don't understand how RDR2 was even nominated for Labor of Love, let alone won.

When Playstation reads a disc, it looks for a special sequence on the disc that tells the Playstation "hey, this is a Playstation game. You should load it."

That sequence is proprietary and isn't on burned copies of games. This is anti-piracy protection, and makes sense from a monetary standpoint.

When you put Alien: Resurrection in the console, which has that sequence, the Playstation is told that "hey, this is a real Playstation game. You should load it." The game loads, then you can put in the cheat, which tells the game to stop loading from the disc momentarily while another disc is loaded (think "please insert disc 2 from final fantasy"). At this point, you can pop in your burned copy of the game, then press a button to continue loading from disc, at which point the game tells the system "hey, this new guy is with me. Let him through", and the Playstation loads the new game from the disc.

It's called Predictor, so it's probably predicting the birth gender of the baby and not a pregnancy test.

They're probably training their AI-powered level generation

You can also watch either movie if you're stupid and alone. I should know because I did it.

Being forced to pay taxes while not having the right to vote is taxation without representation - the exact thing we created America over.

To put in perspective how shallow a 0.15% change is, a dimple on a golf ball is roughly 4 times deeper than that (0.60% of a difference in depth).

The guy rotated his hips to ask the streaming booth to his left if they have the movie, thus his feet were still aimed at the booth in the first panel.

Doesn't surprise me that she's a deluded narcissist.

In Las Vegas, we have a local chain called SkinnyFats that has two menus, a "healthy" menu and a "happy" menu

Isn't preventing people from performing civic duties the opposite of freedom.

Do... do you know how much money the US has given to Ukraine for this effort? A continuous conflict is untenable. The U.S. gov would want the opposite of what you're thinking
