The main complaint I've heard over and over again from Pokémon fans is that every new game is basically just the same as the last but with new character designs. So I'm assuming anyone serious enough about being sick of the franchise to actually make their very own off-brand game would be...

I still don't know how third parties manage to even survive in countries that don't have ranked choice voting. Do all the NDP seats belong to places that are so far left that the Conservatives don't even bother to run anyone?

Also I'm betting that guy being the second-biggest shareholder predates Musk's takeover by several years, lest you think there was ever a time when this platform was worth saving.

I've always appreciated One Piece having a recognizably unique art style rather than just looking like every other anime out there, but I lost interest when it became clear that it was turning into one of those series that just gets stretched on into infinity, on top of the typical anime problem...

They say "If you're not the customer, you're the product", but in this case only people dumb enough to pay for this garbage are the ones getting exploited. But I'm sure there'll be some downside.

(don't make a Dominic Badguy joke, don't make a Dominic Badguy joke, don't make a Dominic Badguy joke)

Just another valid reason to push for the complete abolition of income tax for those who make less than $100K or so.

Already letting him make his own rules, I see. Not off to a great start. Also that's literally the first time in my life I've seen the "pound sign" actually used to denote pounds.

That part I have a hard time believing. The country that still writes "encyclopaedia" and "paedophile" are the ones who take the "A" out of "aesthetics" the most? Then I realized it doesn't make sense for Musk, either, who's so obsessed with the letter Æ that he literally named his kid after it.

I have, and while I consider it an incompetent attempt at wringing an entertaining 90 minutes out of the franchise, Mario's voice was not one of the reasons. And Nintendo being Nintendo, they might just be crazy enough to pay it.

I assume the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is responsible for overseeing nuclear energy, not weapons? If so... someone needs to point out to him that we can't even convince American businesses to build the nuclear plants they're already allowed to.

Hey, remember when he made a big stink about how many bot accounts there supposedly were, and said that dealing with them would be his top priority?

We're not even any good at that, though. A race of self-aware computers would 100% favor just letting us go extinct, either actively or passively depending on which turns out to be less hassle for them.

You know what I'm realizing? We're already at the stage where people think the AI we have right now is not just good enough to replicate the work of a human, but good enough to be an improvement. Where people start applying the old chestnut of "computers can't make mistakes" and advocating for...

I actually wonder if streaming is legally considered equivalent to airing reruns for licensing purposes. Because Malcolm in the Middle was famously denied DVD releases due to the music licensing costs, but it was available on Amazon Prime Video back when they still had shows besides their own...

That's almost exactly what we were all saying about Hillary in 2016. And hey, I betcha intentionally letting the former most powerful person on earth get away with treason is pretty damn close to puppy eating in the eyes of a lot of voters.

Oh god you're right. The DOJ isn't letting him get away with stuff because they're afraid of what his cult might do to them—they're doing it in the hopes that Biden will get to run against him again and get an easy win. They really are that dumb and short-sighted. *headdesk*

That's even worse. Small towns are like 90% people with Trump flags and I BACK THE BLUE signs.

Yeah, remember that one company that was like "We're going to bring Toys-R-Us back!" and then all that came of it was basically putting a Toys-R-Us sign up in the toy section of an existing department store or something?

It could have backfired worse if we lived in a country where there's any chance they will face real consequences for this. As it is, they'll probably get a commendation for successfully sending a message to the public that this is what happens to well-meaning independent journalists in Trump's...
