As soon as I read "my wife" instead of "she", I assumed the wife would be someone else, and there would be an accident with the ex

99% sure this is Luna, aka CrunchyCat, aka monkeycatluna, and she is indeed the scrunge queen.

All I see is Walt and Gale

They just have more time to waste! The data is misinterpreted! Maybe it's my mortal-complex speaking.

To be fair, I know at least one interpretation of LotR where Sauron is simply rejecting the elves' fascism, but what do I know?

Looking at the rules, there's nothing explicitly wrong anyway. It would be silly if there were imo. Political discussion is part of politics, and equating political news articles with the whole of politics is inadvertently disingenuous. But I can be fairly pedantic sometimes.

I dunno, this is an ascending scale of innate power. Sounds like privilege to me

I'm torn between "keep our girl's name out your fucking mouth" and "hell yeah, badass, long live the queen". Leaning toward the former tbh

Yep! Although my mind goes to A Scanner Darkly. I can't remember if I ever checked out Waking Life, but I should.

It's a bit of an ask, but I'd like to see a whole movie rotoscoped like this. There's something satisfying about it. I sure hope it's Easter though!

I'm a proponent of the theory that the weasel in the LHC is what opened the rift

The political views of a recommended lecturer, and even his own views on cancel culture aren't the issue in my mind. In fact I agree with some of the nuances there.

The notion of rejecting a software lecture for the views of the presenter is kinda dumb. I don't know the content of the lectures, to be fair, but I assume any irrelevant personal views aren't part of it. Lashing out at Kovarex for the recommendation is dumb too, arguably more so.

It's the statutory rape comment that I don't like, which affects the benefit of the doubt as far as his other stances go. Still, I don't think Factorio, or even Kovarex necessarily, should be "cancelled" here. Any backlash for his own comments is fair though.

I see now my comment didn't reflect that as I only meant to convey my own disappointment, which is also nuanced.
