Don’t link to TV Tropes without a warning.

Barbie has been huge for politics but in a subtle way. It was the first doll made for girls that didn’t need some kind of help (needing to be feed, being a literal baby or child etc.) and was represented as being fully independent. It was a huge boon towards letting girls know that they weren’t doomed to be homemakers.

It seems to me like they are attempting to get protestors to escalate. After a martyr, the mental gymnastics and justifications will spiral with a blinding speed.

Shatner is the truly uncanny example imo.

I would have imagined that Wales would be the dark green color.

Just about every iteration could easily power thousands of mountain sized gravity batteries.

I have bought a new fighting game in quite a while after really disliking SF 5. Thanks for this, I’ll at least check put a demo I’d there is one.

What’s really crazy is just how long the $50-$60 is price point stayed. 40 years of that. I’m only surprised that it took this long.

That’s just untrue. The NSA even has a pretty cool repo.

My biggest regret is that we never got a dramatic pause competition between him and Adam West

Isn’t most software made by the US government required to be open source anyway?

Remember that the circle tool is not allowed.

Dude is almost 100 years old and still working. It’s kind of amazing.

I have been working for and by myself as a machinist for the last 15 years. The first round of steel tariffs hurt a lot, but I was able to pull through just barely. Now, I am losing every contract I’ve got when they expire (which is soon) and as a small fish I have almost no bargaining power on bids for jobs. I am likely going to have to shutter the business and sell all the equipment.

…and promoting fascism

That combination would be like, well… Seagal in the modern era.

OK. I am officially fucking old. I was 30 when that happened

The thumbnail looked like Steven Seagal at first.

No problem. I’ll say that every opportunity I get.
