    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    If it is, it doesn't make any sense. They show a handful of objects seemingly moving around by themselves, but only a handful, and one takes focus for most of it. Conservation of detail is being blown right out the window. Also the pacifier jumps when the baby hits the chair, like it's being...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Especially since Epic already took Apple to court over the exact same issues and Apple won. That speaks to a systemic bias against Google, and a bias from the Supreme Court in particular who refused to hear their appeal.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Right, because repeatedly allowing stright-up malware masquerading as more popular apps onto their own app store didn't do that already. Seriously, the only reason anyone uses Android is because the phones it runs on are cheaper.

    Disney animation and related media

    That's wild. Is that the only theatrical film besides Song of the South that never got any sort of home media release? I've never even heard of it.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I never understood why the state militias are called the "national" guard in the first place. It feels like it was almost designed to cause confusion.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    And it goes both ways; wasn't she the one who got sacked by Fox News for not kissing his ass enough and went to work for one of the other news channels? So they kind of both came crawling back to each other. Which sums up his relationship with Fox News pretty well too.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    I assume the idea was to get them to remove it from the service entirely.

    The "What made you happy today" thread!

    Update: I have now done the first of these two things and it turns out there's an achievement for it! Also I learned recently that despite being a witch's pet, Pyewacket from Bell, Book and Candle is a Siamese and I had misremembered this whole time, so I guess this newly acquired black cat...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Sounds to me like the noise is the purpose of the helicopters. They're aiming to rile up the citizens to the point where they'll try to Do Something About It, justifying retaliatory action from the military.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Imagine running for office on a platform of "I have a time machine and I know how to use it." There's more than a few really good sci-fi stories in there.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    A bill to ban data brokers from existing was never going to get enough support to pass anyway. It would bankrupt half the tech industry, and if there's any industry that has both parties in their pockets, it's those guys.

    So long as we've got a time machine to deal with the openly-fascist arm of the Republican Party, might as well go back to the 1940s when they started branding everyone who had traveled to Spain to aid in the Civil War as "Communists."

    I stopped reading at "a senior Hamas figure said."

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Almost certainly. What I want to know is how they got Netanyahu on board. He's the one with the anti-Palestinian agenda here, and isn't just chasing clout.

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    The catch is that if it works, Donald Goddamn Trump will get to take the credit for the sort of thing that tends to win Nobel Peace Prizes (and not the bullshit kind that Obama got for just existing), and we'll never hear the end of it.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I've heard of the "Night of the Long Knives" before, but only ever described in an ominous and vague way that made it sound like it involved rounding up everyone in the government and military who opposed him or wasn't 100% on board with his rise to power and having them murdered, possibly in a...

    Saudi Arabia owns SNK

    Counterpoint to your first paragraph: The most significant privately owned video game company out there right now is Valve, and they're infamous for sitting on all of their IPs and making no games whatsoever.

    Oh, when you said he was going to destroy the film industry I thought you meant all the other countries are going to respond with retaliatory tariffs and tank Hollywood's overseas market. And I was frankly all for that because the hell with America's cultural imperialism and movies that cost so...

    The problem is that eventually there won't be anywhere left to pretend to be from that won't have similar restrictions.
