Japan used to be more progressive than the West. Remember the same-sex couple on Sailor Moon (I think that's what show it was) that got turned into siblings in the English dub?

Honestly? I want to see the House Democrats respond in kind. All it'd take is one Republican who's sick of her jive.

So if abortion isn't what keeps Republicans in office, what is? Just a few years ago we treated abortion bans as Republicans' carrot on a stick. But now it seems a lot of people would gladly vote for Republicans despite their hardline position on abortion, not because of it. So what's the real...

What were they being used for, and why? Is this one of those "tech-bros have bizarre ideas about health" things, like Steve Jobs living off nothing but fruit or the head of Oracle recommending bogus treatments for COVID?

That's not a nice thing to say; we've got as much right to be here as you do. 😛

I admittedly didn't pay any real attention to the 2020 campaigns, so I have to ask the rest of you: Did he do that then? Somehow Biden strikes me as too much of a cuddly grandpa to get that confrontational. Like the sort of person too polite to use the "F" word even if his opponent goosestepped...

Good riddance. "Social media integration" just means showing favortism to the handful of platforms that are already popular (with basic bros and basic bitches) and just makes it even more impossible for anyone to compete with them. Never mind bringing back Obama-era net neutrality policies; find...

I do love me a good social experiment.

"What a relief. I was getting concerned that our transportation wasn't ostentatious enough."

"Manny, until now we scraped along the ground like rats. But from now on, we soar. Like eagles. Yeah! Like eagles... on... POGO STICKS!"

Our radical left probably has that too; it's just that they don't have control of any mainstream media outlets. Or much of anything really, other than the feeds of the doomscrollers out there.

Hey, I believe in it too, because I live in a timeline where Facebook exists.

You know what I'll bet it is, at least partially? White guilt over the 2000s culture of racism against Arabs. Left-leaning media outlets are terrified of looking less than friendly towards middle easterners, but narrow-minded enough to assume that hating Jewish people is just something they all...

No amount of promises will bring the value back up anywhere near what it was when he bought it. Mostly because those promises are being made by him, and he's the whole reason it tanked in the first place. And the funny thing is that the ideal pump-and-dump scheme would be to just buy it from...

As in he's promising the moon hoping it'll drive the value of the company up so he can resell it before he has to admit none of those features were actually being worked on?

You know what? Screw making things lapse into the public domain earlier. We need to do the exact opposite and make the copyright get locked away forever after a certain amount of time, so no one—especially not the company that made them—can commercially release sequels or spinoffs or any other...

The one Teufel posted was the Associated Press, which is... well, was... one of the last news outlets worth trusting to get their story straight. And regardless of whether or not all of the people involved were openly displaying violent intentions, one does not simply "protest" the mere...

The worst part about the uptick in gun sales after mass shootings is you just know only some of it is from people who actually think they can protect themselves in the event of another one, and the rest is from people paranoid that gun laws will get more strict so they'd better get one (or more...

I just think it's funny how doggedly committed Nintendo remains to never letting their main characters speak out loud besides the standard contractually-obligated bing-bing-wahoos, yet they'll fill the same game with flowers that talk in half a dozen languages and each have their own unique lines.

They were also an independent country for a while. And they do keep trying to become one again; I've certainly never tried to stop them.
