We also weren't closing our borders and forcing everyone to stay home for two weeks, which is what the countries that actually took decisive action against COVID were doing in early 2020. Why wasn't that necessary back then?

Something I've been thinking about lately... COVID-19 is literally a variant of SARS, the virus that caused a minor scare back in the 2000s but was so well contained that it never became a real problem anywhere. What did people do back then to successfully contain it, and why didn't they do it...

I will say, even with my faith in humanity at its most withered state, if Trump actually flees the country under explicit threat of arrest for federal crimes and tries to still run for president from Argentina or whatever, I do expect the Republican Party leadership will draw a hard line there...

I know one game you shouldn't get on the Switch: Cult of the Lamb. I'm told its port is hot garbage.

Wasn't 2 the one that also made gender a slider rather than a pick-one-or-the-other situation? Granted, between the game's overall wackiness and the fact that they got rid of it in the next game, I'd suspect it was done that way as a joke more than anything else, and a joke they came to feel was...

Also, Singer should be careful; I think Twitter's rules consider reposting any statements made by banned users to be "ban evasion" even if you're posting it to make fun of them.

Hold on. Loomer was running against a guy named "Daniel Webster"? Did I already make a "The Devil and Daniel Webster" joke? There's so much low-hanging fruit these days that I'm forgetting which ones I've picked.

I mean... I can clearly see from the thumbnail that he's black. His statement is bullshit, yes, but maybe accusing him of being a literal Klansman is over the line in this case? Don't worry, you'll have plenty more opportunities to whip that one out; I'm sure there'll be another case of officers...

Them losing and refusing to admit it is still better than them winning, no matter how much violence results.

Only some?

The one upside to the gas crisis in Europe is that there's a chance it'll get people to finally start looking into nuclear as a viable alternative. It's one thing to say "Oh we can just transition, very very gradually, to solar" when there's no deadline to wean yourself off fossil fuels, but...

Good lord. Even Vic Mignogna had a lawyer. What is he doing? Has he seriously decided that there's not a single lawyer in this country who won't purposely blow the case just to get him locked up? Because if so, he has a lot more faith in humanity than I do.

That they'd fall on their own swords slightly more often than exactly this one time ever. But real life doesn't work like in the movies.

I'm still waiting for that Saint's Row 2 rerelease they said would fix all the bugs. Now that they're just straight-up rebooting the series, I'm pretty sure that's been officially canned and they're just not bothering to tell anyone.

Also I went back to my link in OP to check what the "correct" broken embed looks like, and the interesting thing is that Teufel's post now displays exactly how I originally saw it, with empty space where the tweet should be, but the post immediately after it, which also had an embedded tweet...

Yeah, it looks like this is going to be a problem on P&R in particular. People keep making bad tweets and then deleting them, leaving the person who embedded them looking like a crazy person talking to themselves. I've noticed that working Twitter embeds take a while to load in, which suggests...

By that logic, rapists who don't make their victims pregnant are even bigger monsters than the ones who don't.

Watch them win almost all of those seats anyway, proving that they've been wasting money this whole time. As long as the ballots say what party each candidate represents, their base will still show up to vote for them. And as long as the country stays gerrymandered to hell, that base will still...

Actually, since nothing in the Constitution specifically guaranteed a right to vote to anyone in particular, it was up to the states to decide whom to disenfranchise, and presumably non-property-owners were entirely on the table.

It was a ban across both their platforms, which is almost a good reason to use the parent company's name. Almost. Seriously, nobody in the media calls Google "Alphabet", so why did the media fall in lockstep behind Facebook's rebranding?
