Thanks for the archive link.

Also, NY Times is up to it's old shenanigans with headlines.

Trump Waved Off Israeli Strike After Divisions Emerged in His Administration

They don't describe any divisions within the trump admin though. It's "2 people said this would need US support if it happened, and a whole pile of people said we shouldn't do it". I don't see any division there.

Even if they kick out the left, a lot of them will still collapse because they'll have no faculty. The numbers for political affiliation of faculty by major are absurd.

Plus, even if you can salvage some of the departments basically everything except STEM and Business will be completely gone for sure. And while that is a good thing (the last thing we need is a continuation of the indoctrination to social worker/HR Rep/barista pipeline) in most colleges those are the lion's share of the enrollments. These organizations require the social science, english, theatre, etc. majors to keep the lights on.

So, we'll end up with a lot more schools and they'll be 100% focused on actual useful subjects instead of all the BS. Well, there has been a lot of talk within academia about reimagining what the college experience should look like these days, so hope they enjoy it!

they just love filming themselves doing the dumbest, often criminal, actions.

I still think a number of them filming themselves (and then posting the footage online) using the Chase Bank "glitch" last summer? fall? wins. "Why, yes, I am committing check fraud and recording myself doing it. But free money! I'm sure I'll never have to pay it back!"

Not even ideologically compatible, but also (mostly) compatible in terms of play style, expectations, personality, etc.

Sure, you don't want a bunch of clones but you want everyone on the same page or at a minimum same chapter. If one person's goal in the session is to talk to every single person in town while the rest of the party wants to crunch a bunch of skulls someone is not going to be happy.

I'm honestly impressed that he didn't just collapse entirely.

Mostly agree, but the odds of legally getting a gun in NYC are single-digits at best for the average person. "Get out of the cities" needs to be step 1 for most people,

Come on, Forbes. If you're going to try to threaten me with a good time (because the smartphone market and Apple simultaneously imploding would be a VERY good time), at least try to make it believable.

If you want to see just how bad some of the actors truly are on Deep Space Nine, you should definitely check this one out. Not only is it an absolutely horrible Sisko episode about civil rights (what else) but everyone goes without make-up and they do (laughable) New York accents.

Is that one of the ones where he goes back in time as a black sci fi author?

On the one hand, screw Luigi. This was a case of premeditated murder, and a politically motivated killing at that. Yes, the whole health insurance situation is a mess (though not nearly as bad as redditors and related constantly make it out to be), but what did killing this guy possibly accomplish?

On the other hand, I have very serious reservations about the death penalty. Anyone who trusts the DoJ to actually care about justice is just retarded, and giving them the power to kill in the name of their "justice" is frankly scary.

"has become"? All the networks have always been bloodthirsty. During Trump's first term he shot a bunch of missiles somewhere in the middle east, and for the next 24 hours or so every single network was going on about how he was finally being presidential before they jumped back to default "orange man bad" programming.

But what if the democrat leaning cities just did their own thing and left everyone else alone.

Fixed it. You've already got movements in at least four of the highlighted states trying to either break away or at least diminish the massive power a few cities have over the whole state, and you're telling them "we're forcibly dragging you into a country that is orders of magnitude closer to your fascist boogeyman than the US is"? That's not going to end well.

Yeah, the only time I've seen something similar to that is when a particular channel is doing a charity drive. 99% sure that this is the result of the channel not anything youtube is doing.

The main thing I'd like to see is a release on non-Nintendo hardware. Yes, I know that the odds of it happening are basically non-existent, but it's been years since I could could care about system-exclusive games, and today there's zero technical reason for it. Even if the game comes out as a 10/10 absolute classic best game in history, I don't feel like giving Nintendo $4-500 or whatever the Switch 2 costs just so I can buy a game from them.

I dunno. I'm no marine biologist, but I'd say 36 is a pretty good age for a manatee which is living 1000 miles north of it's natural habitat in Florida.

Agreed. My first thought is "well, sorry pilot but you just get to stay on the plane then and fly back immediately." Why turn the whole flight back? Something seems suspicious.

Well, it peaked at just under 65k simultaneous on its first weekend (compared to Veilguard's 90k). We'll see if it's impact on Ubisoft's finances are jaw-dropping.

Without looking at the link, let me guess: she put it there herself?

Allentown Police say Brown asked “the investigation be discontinued” after city employees on her floor were asked to provide DNA. Police say her DNA was found on noose.

Wow, I must be psychic!

Looks like release day peak players on Steam was 41412. Right now, it's about double Avowed's peak, but half of Veilguard's. It will almost certainly go up once we hit the weekend, but it will be interesting to see how high. In Avowed's case, it went from 17k to 19k in the weekend bump, Veilguard from 70k to 90k.

Even if it did happen, it is not impressive when you actually look at the values.

Let's say they actually got rid of 426000 federal employees. That means about 5000 employees a month. Well, the federal government has 3000000 employees. 5000 a month is 0.16% of the federal workforce each month. I'm pretty sure you could hit that just by retirees alone.

As much as I'd love it if destruction of their echo chamber made them more sane and calm down, you have a good point. Just look at what happened when the NSFW section of Tumblr got nuked.
