Meanwhile in EVE Online, a Russian aluminum magnate bribes a guy with a backhoe to cut power to a enemy commander's house mid-battle.

Well there's an early scene where cops are beating a couple orcs in the street and one of them looks like he could be getting brain damage, so it's an accurate depiction of LAPD. Discrimination against orcs is based on a 2000 year old history where they sided with the Dark Lord, but the leader of the army that defeated the Dark Lord was also an orc and that contradiction never gets addressed. Maybe what they were going for is that the orcs are actually more like Jews, and Jarak is like Jesus? The allegories don't really work even on a surface level.

I think they wanted to avoid the elves, who are the rich financial elite who control access to the world's magic and have secret ages-old conspiracies, being coded as a racist depiction of jews.

It's a five point scale, that's better than the 20% it would be if it were fully random.

Hello Thread, I am here with a extremely limited time Very Cool Gift that you must act on ASAP!

What is it? I am talking of course about the tag to end all tags, the terror of the NRA.... various animals. But not just various animals, but animals with attitude.



If you want it, you have to do three things. If you gently caress up on any of those things I will laugh at you!

1. Quote this post
2. Write a post under that quote about what you would do with an Army of Aggressive Animals
3. Do this within 24 hours of this post!

If you do all three of these things, the tag will find a new home under your avatar (or username, if you are a filthy poor).

Why 24 hours? Because I am Extremely Busy and I don't feel like stalking the thread for eons to see who wants the tag! So get it now! But don't fret, if you lose out on this exclusive offer, I'll still give it out randomly because it's cool and it deserves to be seen by all.

I'd teach the animals to shitpost

in a litterbox

because theyre good boys

Yeah, the entire general election the whole 538 team did that weird semi-pundit thing where they tried to talk themselves out of what their model was telling them, i.e. that Trump's chances were being systematically downplayed by most major pollsters and experts because they were all making a set of overlapping bad assumptions, and that Trump had a realistic path to victory going into election night. I still trust them as much as anyone, but that trust shouldn't be blind going into 2020.


At least they set up their models in advance and don't gently caress around with them once data starts coming in.

There's a similar stupidity going on with university funding, where the people doing actual research spend most of their time proving they need funding instead of actually doing the research the funding is supposed to support.
