And the thing is, we were all totally fine with it when they were mostly on our side.

What the actual hell.

Nah, if there's even the slightest chance of actually getting hurt, they're not going to risk it. That's how the real cops operate, and they're officially tasked with protecting and serving the public. Buncha rent-a-cops just there to collect a paycheck aren't going to be any braver.

How much you want to bet the Pinkertons refuse to even operate in any of those states?

Oh, have the trials started already? I had assumed not from the lack of headlines about him being charged with perjury.

I heard people bringing up the Pinkertons lately, and I assumed it was like... metaphorical? Like "the modern-day equivalent of the Pinkertons"? But no, apparently the actual OG thugs-for-hire organization is still in business and still being employed to do jive that even American police won't...

To be fair, that prediction for 2022 might have been directly responsible for decent people realizing they need to get out and vote. In fact, that sort of thing probably happens a lot. Humans are heisenbergian; observing them changes the results you get.

Why did you word it that way? Fox News cannot, legally, dictate where an ex-employee can and cannot get another job.

The Fantastic Beasts movies have so far shown that it's too hard for anyone WarnerMedia cares to hire.

It was inevitable. First Photobucket, then ImageShack, now this; it's amazing it didn't happen a long time ago. We had plenty of time to recognize that our collective dependency on a single third-party site that was providing a free service with no strings attached was a bad idea and take steps...

I decided to get back into Demon's Souls before the hot weather takes over and makes me nervous about running the ol' PS3. I managed to beat the Flamelurker, finally unlocking the ability to craft boss weapons. Not that I was really interested in any because I'm playing a Temple Knight and...

I find it interesting that the Post Office will no longer make "special accommodation" for people who don't want to work Sundays, but they did make a "special accommodation" to a gigacorporation to deliver packages on Sundays, breaking a tradition of not operating on Sundays that had been in...

I will admit there's potential there, because of the burning question of not why Slytherin was such a scumbag (remember, he didn't just "hate" muggle-borns; he actively plotted their eventual genocide with the whole "heir of Slytherin" business), but why the other three were willing to work with...

The sheer amount of stuff they recreated shot for shot makes some of the more drastic changes all the more baffling. Also, the giraffe thing was my favorite moment in the game specifically because of how it was presented to me. I didn't have a PS3 at the time and wasn't necessarily inclined to...

If they haven't started tracking down and murdering Dominion employees (never the wealthy shareholders or CEO, obviously) already, what makes you think an official ruling in their favor would have changed that? Or is it more that you think they did this to protect innocent people from having to...

Not really? They chose less money over justice plus more money. Which makes completely zero sense to me, but if there weren't a valid reason to do it, no one would ever settle a case they know they can win—and yet people do all the time.

Oh yeah, that's the other thing. Warner Bros. is behind this. The company that: Forced The Hobbit to be three movies instead of two and crammed with extra references to Lord of the Rings, missing the point and ruining yet another promising Martin Freeman vehicle Tried to adapt A Song of Ice and...

Wow, so Twitter was hopping on a briefly-profitable but also widely-reviled trend in a way that wasn't even making them any money??? Yeah, I'm starting to see why the company was in such bad shape financially that they were desperate to sell themselves off.

You know what I realized I haven't heard about in a long time? Those hexagonal NFT avatars. They were introduced before Elon took over, people made a big stink about them at the time, and then everyone just kind of forgot about them. Do they still exist? Has Elon made any attempts to get people...

Oh, and with Rowling being such poison at this point, good luck getting the finest minds in Hollywood on board to work on this. I predict that they're going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel and the results will reflect that. And that goes for what happens behind the scenes as well as on...
