I won’t go so far as to use the word “normie” like this is 4chan, but I will say: I think it’s fine. I’d rather have slow growth, thanks. I’m not the arbiter of what kind of users we should attract or anything, but if they have a problem with our silly name I don’t want to hang out with them.

I think this is my favorite Far Side panel

give the supreme court more time to backslide

This is at least the third time. FFXIV was terrible at launch and was fixed a couple of years later with the release of 2.0

the whole “Deckard’s a replicant thing” is lame because it ruins his character arc if it does. IMO the whole film is a comparison of the human Deckard who coldly murders replicants without mercy (like a machine) vs the replicant Roy who kills with passion, and eventually grants mercy to his enemy. The replicant is “more human than human”, and the human is more machine-like than the machine. Deckard’s story is going from a robot-man to someone who actually feels alive and concern for someone other than himself at the end.

Reminds me of this genuine photo of bison skulls from the late 1800s

The US government encouraged mass hunting of bison to force Native Americans to give up their way of life that depended on them and move to reservations where they would be “allowed” to live. Unless something valuable was discovered on that land later.

When colonists first started arriving there were upwards of 60 million bison in North America, traveling in vast herds that provided much of what various nomadic tribes needed to live on. At the lowest point in the late 1800s there were around 541 known animals in existence. Now there are around 500,000 in NA, the vast majority of which live on ranches and are farmed for meat. There are around 20,000 living on conservation lands.

I think they’re not being built in most US (and maybe Canadian?) cities because nimbys only want single-family detached houses to be built to preserve their home’s value

least that’s what I’ve gathered from watching youtube videos on urban planning and reading articles

afaik it’s essentially an apartment but you own your domicile, and have a stake in the building as a whole along with the other “tenants” who are also co-owners.

The suspects are aged between 30 and 49 and are studying in Busan

now, education is possible at any age, but really?

A “woobie” is a name for any type of character who makes you feel extremely sorry for them.

Not sure it’s used properly here. They seem to be using it as a synonym for harmless. A woobie is harmless, but that’s secondary to their pitifulness.

make more Legends, you fucks

The one where ISIS exists and attacked Moscow’s Crocus City Hall theater in March. IIRC the Taliban and ISIS aren’t best friends because ISIS sees them as resting on their laurels and wanting to stabilize their control of Afghanistan rather than expanding and building an Islamic State.

you also get exp-boosting earrings that work until the max level of the previous expansion, and a unique minion (little pet to show off)

it’s not ‘early access’ in that way, it’s just that if you preorder you get access 3 or 4 days early

Granddad, you can’t tame the white supremacist power structure with cheese!

I really wish we could go back to smaller scale rpgs that came out more frequently. Tighter, trimmer play areas with efficient stories. They don’t need to have tons of side quests with mediocre at best writing. Just pare it down for shit’s sake

There is… a lot of detail on that butthole

What does the Wizard of Oz have to do with Thanksgiving?

“Summer Camp”

• Single Day
• 3 Hours
• Just learn to be a wage slave
• All indoors, except presumably when you go out with an ipad to take orders from fucks in their car

I’m failing to see the camp here.
