If I’m following the logic from the other guy, I think that it would be “Microsoft ecosystem”, not “XBox ecosystem”, since they’re removing the specific platform, and adding the company. Which I think works.

It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).

Things that lay the groundwork for future things are often surpassed by what they inspire (shrug)

Just watched it last week for the first time actually. Pretty good overall 👍

I’ve been thinking it’s just a rebranding of the idea of karma, which is old as dirt. “The Law of Attraction” is just the way I’ve seen it discussed online in its most recent manifestation (pun intended)

To all the people downvoting: “Law of Attraction” is not a lay person’s way of saying “Law of Gravity”.

It’s the belief online that “if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff” (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)

OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.

You say that like he wouldn’t have been dead pretty soon anyways. From a different point of view, he robbed the world of getting to execute him themselves. (Yes, bloodthirsty, but something they may have thought about at the time)

We’d probably end up with a situation where wild deer don’t have the gene and city deer do, excepting any cross-breeding.

Ah, missed that. Yeah, I see where you’re coming from.

Sorry, American here. Did WW3 start and I missed it? Is it Ukraine/Russia? Israel/Palestine? Horrible though they are, they seem pretty contained this far, unless something new happened I haven’t seen anything about.

In the context of the article, they’re talking about the fact that news outlets aren’t getting enough ad revenue to sustain themselves, and people don’t really buy classifieds in papers anymore.

Saving this for later, as I want to hear responses as well.

Also, slight spoiler ::: spoiler spoiler Has the most Cox on screen of any Marvel show so far :::

Finished first episode. Starts with some new stuff, then does a quick recap of what happened in Maya’s life through the end of Hawkeye. If you watched that, you can skip it, as I didn’t see anything new. Then, the second half sets up the central conflict for the season.

Some unexpected elements, which you’ll see in the first few minutes. The show might not be a straight up crime drama like I was expecting (but will probably mostly be a crime drama).

Some fun, subtle, stuff in fight scenes involving the fact that Maya has a prosthetic leg.

Secondary characters seem fun so far, especially her cousin, who I hope survives the series (but probably won’t, cause no one is allowed to be happy)

Rating 3.5/5, because recap was slightly boring.

Oh, that released? Dang… I need to get on that…

Dang… Wild to see how Pokemon have changed since prehistoric times… I never knew Blatoise used to have more cannons. I guess their Mega Evolution makes even more sense now, and it’ll probably end up being permanent eventually.

So… Instead of breaking through the door every time I want to leave a room, I can just put a little downward pressure on the door handle, and it’ll open? Fantastic! This’ll save me thousands in monthly door costs, for sure.

For a minute I mixed up Gary Bowser and Doug Bowser, and was left wondering what beef the president of Nintendo of America could have with Nintendo as a whole :P

Napoleon wears a bicorn hat. Pirates wear tricorns. Dunces wear unicorns.

I think you’re right, but also I think OP was more thinking mass shooters, or maybe serial killers.
