This must be what that one cop was afraid of

I have, that was how I heard about them in the first place actually

I’ll believe it when they actually generate net electricity output. I don’t necessarily think they’re a scam per se, but given the relative resources available and difficulty even for international projects to get fusion power working, I don’t suspect their efforts will be successful. Would love to be proven wrong of course, or if not for their work to at least contribute useful progress to the effort.

And here I thought it was ironic mimicry of a boomer humor “wife bad” post.

To be fair, the song isnt about tricking the devil and using one’s wits to overcome terrible odds or such like that, this random guy is just that good that he can just enter into a contest with a supernatural power and win it honestly. Id bet stories like that exist in other cultures, surely, but still probably arent as common as ones where the human must resort to tricks or suffers for hubris. Then again, the song also suggests the devil hasnt been too successful lately, so maybe this version of the character just isnt terribly powerful in the first place.

Tbh I have to imagine paarthy has a hard time getting snacks. He lives on an inhospitable mountain, can’t just go down somewhere else without causing a panic among everyone who sees him and risking hostility, and it’s not like the greybeards can bring him much consider they just get what supplies people bring them, which are probably intended to feed a few human monks and not also a huge dragon on top of that.

the original undermines its own message: they are lifting it, even if barely and with difficulty, which implies that those characters are within an order of magnitude or so of literal divine power.

Honestly, they don’t really deserve the idolization they get even beyond the movies. Sparta was a rather brutal slaver society after all, the reason for their famous military training was mostly to deal with rebellion by their slave population which greatly outnumbered them. If they still existed as they did then, they’d probably be viewed with the same kind of contempt we view places like North Korea.

Furries are centered around anthropomorphic animals. Anthropomorphic means it has human traits. Humans are an animal species. Humans have human traits by definition, therefore humans are technically anthropomorphic animals, therefore all art of humans is technically a subset of furry art.

Honestly I have mixed feelings on these guys. Like, sure, they absolutely did need to be jailed, because trying to overturn an election is extremely dangerous for the country and one cant set the precedent that one can get away with attempting it, but at the same time, these people were lied to, and if the things that they had been led to believe about the election being stolen had actually been true, I cant help but think that something like what was done might have been justified. It feels kinda messed up, then, that the people who had been led into this with misplaced trust and false promises are the ones getting the bulk of the punishment, and not the people who sold them on lies in the first place.

If chess were a new game released today, I imagine a lot of these “why’d they make it political” types would probably object to the fact that the most powerful character in the game is the only one that’s clearly stated to be a woman.

Who knew, Texas is bigger than Luxembourg

The ironic thing is, conflating any and all criticism of the state of Israel with anti-semitism could be argued as anti-semitic itself, because to suggest that jewish people in general and the Israeli state/military are one in the same such that criticism of the later is also hateful towards the former, is also to suggest that jewish people as a whole are responsible for the actions of Israel.

As cultural groups as a whole are inherently unable to be guilty of crimes (since even if a large number of people belonging to one commit some crime, such a group will also contain members that cannot be guilty of it, like young children), but states and similar entities, being organized and capable of decision-making, can be, then any attempt to link the moral culpability of a state and that of a cultural group is inherently to apply unfair accusations to that group, and thus hateful to it.

Imagine if actual rich landlords had this happen whenever they stepped out their door, might not even need the ghosts

Buggies I’ve not heard, but I do have a grandmother who still calls it the commode.
