Respectfully, Buffy’s “Once More With Feeling” is incredible.

Well, basically Microsoft bought the entire company and now acts as their publisher so better than Private Division but that’s all you can say 🤷🏼‍♂️

As for working with Private Division, Obsidian didn’t have a lot of options at the time - they were basically short on cash and couldn’t find anyone to front the money to make the game. They took the deal they could and the success of Outer Worlds contributed to Microsoft being willing to pick them up which in turn led to Obsidian being able to continue to make games.

I don’t know about the unpatched bugs, but the Spacer’s Choice edition was put out by their old publisher Private Division – Obsidian had no say in it and didn’t contribute anything to it. Private Division paid a third party developer to do Spacer’s Choice Edition and the Switch port.

Black gospel music has often been the only Christian-oriented music that really did it for me. A lot of blues, soul, etc was created by folks who got their start in black gospel music, and used what they learned there in secular genres. Hugely influential in so many different types of music.

Unlike Jefferson, I don’t believe there were any contemporaneous accounts of it, and there’s never been any DNA evidence to confirm it. I mean Jackson was undoubtedly an asshole and believed in the institution of slavery (and I believe treated enslaved people inhumanely), but as far as I understood it, not for this in particular.

I believe you’re thinking Jefferson though Jackson did own enslaved people

Would’ve been 100% funnier if they were talking about Henry Winkler.

The Man With One Red Shoe is much worse than Joe Versus the Volcano. And if made for TV movies count, you have to throw in Mazes and Monsters. Oh and Bonfire of the Vanities was a famous flop. And Volunteers was pretty bad. People forget how bad some of his early stuff was.

Hell, both Forrest Gump and Castaway were tremendously overrated. Also the unwatchable Cloud Atlas and the stupid Dan Brown movies.

<suddenly dawns on me that Tom Hanks makes a lot of bad movies>

…Trump may escalate pressure on allies by leveraging America’s financial dominance

“America’s financial dominance”?! Unless he has a time machine, not quite sure how that’s going to happen.

But the other poster’s point still stands. Technology in general, and algorithms specifically, are neutral. It’s humans deciding what to put into production and what metrics need to be met that cause the problems, not the technology itself. Blaming “technology” is just a way to let the humans making decisions off the hook.

The software didn’t code itself

Fascists can’t be argued with. They love when you get angry and yell at them. But they absolutely cannot stand to get laughed at. Go look up some quotes from Mel Brooks about why he thought it was important for the Hitler references in The Producers.

We should be doing a monthly nationally televised event where Trump, Musk, and the rest are ridiculed.

I’d seen comments about this account before and noted how the phrasing and comment behavior was a dead ringer for Universal Monk’s usual bullshit. Glad to see others saw the same thing.

This is straight out of Neal Stephenson’s novel Snow Crash. Sigh.

Big Ag will always find ways to turn corn into anything.

Bees.

This is factually untrue. It’s treated with very specific mixes of antibiotics but it takes a very long time. That’s part of why John Green has been pushing for this action - it’s easily preventable by vaccine and treatable through antibiotics, no one should be dying from this.

My ideal trifecta - fresh tomatoes, green olives, pepperoni

So less “town hall” and more “klan rally” - got it
