It can be a bit awkward to encounter, but I try to maintain sympathy because it says a lot of depressing things about the state of modern heterosexuality

My experience is that many straight women have a weird relationship with the *idea* of gay men which is rooted in their lived, toxic dynamics with *straight* men. I.e., a hair stylist going from fairly aloof and cold to very warm once I mention my male partner.

Raised by Wolves went with more of a neutral position, which is itself pretty rare. That show was also batshit insane (complimentary).

I liked a lot of the pieces, but it is crazy overstuffed and uneven. My partner and I were excited for it but both found it kind of exhausting. Ambition is good, but I dearly want people to start valuing focus and curation.

"Race-based allocation of covid drugs" I don't even know where to begin with that one, especially given that the right has now turned against the very concept of covid medication

I work with a guy who demands that I post all my drafts to SharePoint instead of just editing the files I send him directly. It's so annoying and slows everything down with no advantages whatsoever.

Something you didn't get into is that the GOP base seems to want the dregs. The TX GOP establishment would not have nominated Paxton. Hard to see the party's path back to relevance if the base has finally gone fully off the deep end.

I just wonder if she and her sympathetic interviewer will even recognize what they need to do at this point. The conservative bubble tends to make it hard for them, over time, to understand how they come across to normal people and what they should say to seem normal

A general problem the right has is that the gap between the most idealized version of their beliefs and the way they act at the personal level is vast, and it rarely does them much good to allow themselves to be scrutinized in a non-abstract way

The BBC is obviously going to cast her in a good light, but that seems like a real challenge. It's not just that she's a bigot, but that she is viscerally unpleasant, cruel, and imperious in ways that she doesn't have to be

Important to remember that the primary voters are choosing these people. It's bottom-up degeneracy.

The economics are the real sticking point, aren't they? PCGamer had a piece up today about a developer of an AI-based game having to pay $1k *a day* to keep their *demo* functioning. Seems like a problem!

I genuinely think Thousand Hells would work perfectly as a framework for Star Trek. Change "heists in Hell" to "Away Team adventures" and it just works

They should do a Star Trek like Disco Elysium or Thousand Hells. Maybe Citizen Sleeper.

I am curious what you think about the DC tree case judge admitting that the plaintiffs were 100% correct that the Trump regime wouldn't comply with her order, and then *still* not beginning contempt proceedings despite being "furious" about the open disrespect and lawlessness

The Trump regime made a fool of her, as she admits, and she *still* won't just hold them in contempt. They aren't going to stop just because of idle threats

If you wanted to make a point, just mention how stop signs across the country get shot up all the time by bored dirtbags. Nobody who might idly shoot at stuff is going to be all cloak and dagger about it. But is a data center as convenient a target as a stop sign? I have doubts

Everything written about Columbus by people who lived and worked alongside Columbus makes it clear that he was evil by both today's standards and the standards of the time. We don't have to speculate on it, we can read accounts at the time worried about divine retribution for Spain's colonialism

Before it got shut down, I used xcancel to keep tabs on centrist and conservative pundits. Conservatives, I get. But I don't understand how even the worst centrist can stand to soak in the overt Nazi filth.

Most of Rian Johnson's output. Maybe "contempt" isn't the right word, but he definitely thinks he is the smartest, cleverest boy in the world and that adds a layer of tedium to films that would often be better if they were more straightforward

Actual contempt rather than affectionate ribbing? Community leaps to mind. I stopped watching after the season 3 (I think) premiere that said "fuck you" to any fans who felt that the meta-fiction episodes had gotten way out of hand

I get that not everyone understands that baking is a precise science but surely, surely there is no way you genuinely thought you could replace the sugar in your cake with "calorie free cofee sweetener tablets" and blame it on the recipe being bad

Tried making a cake...

I tried making a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, and this was supposed to be the base for it.
It was even supposed to be a bit on the healthier side, so I substituted the sugar for a 1200 pill pack of those calorie free cofee sweetener tablets.
It was in the oven for maybe 7 minutes at the reccomended temperature and turned out like this.
Did this happen because 1 misread 2 tea spoons of baking soda for 2 table spoons or was I just unlucky and used a bad recepie?

Control Resonant isn't called Control 2 for whatever reason, but boy, @remedygames.com really assume you played the first one. So much of its plot hits a lot harder or simply makes more sense if you played Control first. Strong sequel work once you get past the open world faff
