Taken at face value they are just pictures of the admin side of twitter from the recent hack/incident. Literally just showing that yes, admins are able to do things to user's accounts, as would be expected.

No, he’s pretending to be a humorist. Self-identifying as conservative proves that he actually is an idiot.

So Mr. "Not Finishing This Series Everyone Already Soured On Because of How the TV Adaptation Ended" here mispronounced the name of a magazine at the Hugos. This is what he has to say for himself:

That seems fine. I’m not going to bother looking up whether or not Voltaire actually said that, but the sentiment is reasonable. “There’s no point in making GBS threads all over each other for minor mistakes.”

He mispronounced a lot of names, mostly of authors of color, and despite the fact that a) all nominees submitted guides to how their names are pronounced, and b) it was pre-recorded, so if he had given any fucks at all he would have done it right.

There's other stuff, but he really showed his rear end.
Oh, really? That’s disappointing. I guess he’s at the fat lazy old man phoning it in part of his career arc.

Yeah that's how a fat man who wrote three decent novels during the second Clinton Administration has ridden goodwill for two decades despite objectively failing at every responsibility handed to him personally and publicly documenting it.

There's always a limit before it gets mean-spirited, but GRRM is a punching bag for a reason. Dude kind-of earned it.
To be fair, he actually wrote a lot of extremely good short stories and novellas going back almost 50 years. A Song of Ice and Fire is just the first of his works to be turned into a hit television series.

There’s also the fact that we pay cops and firefighters to do that. It’s their place in society. We pay NFL players to play football. Zero cops performed successful open-heart surgeries on 9/11. I doubt any firefighters landed rovers on Mars.

If local legislation has the power to completely overrule the president on everything that matters, to the point they can prevent even our Perfect God-King Trump's efforts, then I guess we don't need the Electoral College after all, right? They're always saying we need it to shield the small communities and rural states from a "coastal elite" style president, but if the president's influence is completely blocked by more local government, there's no need, yeah?

I don’t think we need the Electoral College, anyway, so I’m on board.

Between the guns and the spare mags, that guy's gotta be carrying about 120 rounds of ammo. I'd love to know what situation he's imagining that needs all that.
He doesn’t expect to need all that ammunition. With a gun on each hip, plus two more strapped to his thighs, and all worn conspicuously on the outside, he’s just a douchebag who thinks he’s making a point.

OwlFancier posted:

Actually looking at it more it makes perfect sense because you only have two hands so the solution to being able to grab his guns from behind is to have an extra pair of them cos you can't grab all of them at once.
I’m picturing that Jackie Chan gag where two of them grabbed the same staff and fight to get their hands to the top.

There's a trend of "adult coloring books" that aren't anything sexy, just nice patterns and pictures with more detail than children's coloring books tend to have.

But even that has exceptions. :nws:

Seems OK. Those women are fully, if revealingly, clothed. Also, I found those coloring books on my iPad a year or so back, and they really can be quite meditative. Yesterday, I opened one up for the first time in about a year. I could see really enjoying them if I had any clue whatsoever about color, shading, or art in general.

If someone's wearing a necklace of 28 toe bones, they could all be from the same person. The guy wearing a necklace of 28 skulls is letting you know exactly how many people he's killed. That is why skulls are better.

That would be an extremely unwieldy necklace. You can’t possibly be an effective warrior if you’re constantly using one hand to push skulls out of your field of vision.

Edit: I guess, rather than a warrior, you could be a serial killer. Still, —stealth.

Medium blogs count as social media, right?

Someone posed a defense of CDPR's crunch for Cyberpunk 2077. I tried reading it this morning as I'm a broken human who likes kicking off my day by getting angry at stupid takes (it's why I read this thread!) but I couldn't even get past the intro:



[CITATION loving NEEDED]

It doesn’t even matter if the claim is correct, because [specific economic niche] != [overall economic health]. Prostitution was going gangbangers during the Great Depression, but it would be difficult to prove the economy was doing well at that time. If there was suddenly an enormous demand for mimes, it wouldn’t necessarily mean all the other jobs weren’t in the shitter.

Edit: It also wouldn’t prove that employees weren’t being treated like poo poo.
