More often than you think.

The only reason why this even made the news, is because of what happened in Baltimore. Prior to that, it's a non-story. "Container Ship briefly loses power, tugboats do their job and stabilize it." isn't much of a headline.

I personally worked that ship earlier in the week.

The difference between the ships exiting the ports in NY/NJ, as opposed to Baltimore. Is that we have tugs escorting the ships until they are completely clear of all infrastructure. (Like Bridges) In Batimore, the tugs disengage early, and let the ships go under a bridge on their own. Hence, when they lost power - They could do nothing.

As a side note: This has absolutely nothing to do with DEI.

Serious Question: Is that actually a real panel from a comic book?

I think Spotify is counting on the ways lots of people consume Podcasts. For me, it's often in my car. Spotify works perfectly with my stereo system for that. Youtube? Not so much.

Looks like I'm in the minority, but I actually loved this interview. Probably one of the more entertaining interviews I've seen in a very long time.

I went in expecting the worst, because it's Chris Cuomo, and ended up pleasantly surprised.

I'm honestly not sure. Their products are sold in NY, and pretty much everywhere. However, none of their 111 locations are in NY or even in the Tri-Stat area. (NY, NJ, and CT)

It's a bullshit case, but I've seen states recently sue out of state companies before, and usually come to a settlement. (Usually gun producers)

This is why companies should shut up about sustainability. If you don't make claims about such things, and simply stuck with "We make beef." there would be nothing false to sue them over.

It's still a bullshit lawsuit though. The articles didn't really specify what exactly was false.

Fair. I thought he actually had something to do with Postal 2.

I'm also generally of the mindset that trans people have helped ruin this industry. However, I still have to admit that one of the greatest games ever made, was done by a trans person. (Along with other solid titles) It's not so much that I wish to argue the point, more so that I just find it interesting.

Amusing side note: He later regretted transitioning and wished he hadn't.

If he was partly responsible for Postal 2, I can give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, one of the single best games off all times was developed by a trans person. (Mule - By Dan Bunten, later Dani)

I also skipped season 3 but enjoyed the first two a good deal. I'm probably going to give it a watch.

I also wonder if your feelings on season 3 being better the second time around, have to do with how bad much of the superhero stuff has been lately. I've noticed just personally that I tend to think higher of things that I thought were average at the time, just due to how monumentally bad everything coming out now is.

I feel that we should all respect her identity choice, and label all her haters as the racists and bigots that they clearly are!

Flying out of Newark, NJ which is a hub nearly completely controlled by United Airlines due to legit corruption where the head of the Port Authority went to jail over it - I'd have no problem if some European airlines popped in and competed. Shit, Southwest don't even have a single flight out of EWR.

Competition is a good thing. Propping up failed state actors and patronage pit airlines has always been a failure.

Not sure about the books, but if CRPG's interest you, as they do me - I absolutely love this site. http://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/

Pretty much a guy starting out in the early 80's and playing every CRPG ever made all the way up till today. Even old mainframe ones.

I watched the movie and enjoyed it. Are the books worth seeking out for a read?

I agree with the Judge.

However, the way around this is amazingly easy. I use AI to create some art, and just simply claim it as my own. Long as it's done in-house, nobody will be the wiser.

Be nice if they could reopen this sub.

I don't usually go to Reddit, but there are some niche subreddits that sometimes are a source of decent information. That link above is worth is worth going to, just to read the mods whiny "I'm leaving!" post. Not gonna lie, I laughed.

I don't even know if she's woke really.

One of the problems: Is that if you live in an elitist bubble, and actually believe that twitter and reddit are representative of Americans as a whole. I can totally see you pandering to that crowd and hiring a trans spokesperson. If you legitimately believe this. Why wouldn't you? In your mind, that's where the country is.

So I wouldn't say that she's necessarily woke. She's just a complete idiot, that's extremely bad at her job.

The reality is that that majority of Americans support abortion in some form. The real disagreement tends to be on the cutoff date. You have one extreme right wing position of "All abortions must be banned - No matter what!" and another extreme left wing position of "Abortion should legal even if the child can survive outside the womb!"

Most Americans reject both of these positions, and either one would lose in an actual vote. For me, I'm glad Kansas voted it down. Health of the mother, rape/incest, and cutoff of like 12-14 weeks - Is what I'm onboard with.

Honestly, I believe black people hate Kwanzaa more then anyone. Primarily due to people like me... Who had this real life exchange more then once with one of my friends...

Me - Hey guess what?

Black Friend - What?

Me - HAPPY KWANZAA!!!!!

Black Friend - (sigh) I hate you.

Me - LOL LOLLOLOL

Yeah, I'm a dick. I do like some variation of this every year, and I'm sure lots of black people get it, and hate it. I imagine more annoying are the left wing types who wish them a Happy Kwanzaa in a serious fashion.

I mean literally - Pretty much no black people celebrate this holiday.

I work in NYC, yet live at the Jersey Shore.

I used to eat lunch out at least 2-3 times a week. Since the mandate? Haven’t gone anywhere in NYC aside from work. Not sure who’s enforcing it, or who’s not. I just don’t wish to waste my time and find out.

Cultist Simulator has been on my wishlist for awhile.

Does anyone know if Alexis still gets any profit from a purchase, or would it all go to failbetter games? Wouldn't mind supporting Kennedy, but any company that would throw someone under the bus like that, can go suck a bag of dicks,
