I can certainly admit I did not handle it optimally. Newsworthiness is certainly the key to the intuition behind my response though. When I mentioned "neither famous nor infamous" in this thread it was not just a throwaway line, it was my agreeing that some terrible people could, in fact, be...

I do not think we need to hear about people like the "intelligence chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp [of Iran]" in the remembrance thread. I do not think it meets any reasonable definition of what those threads are for, and should be more or less disallowed.

So I was told not to "debate politics" in the remembrance thread and while I do not dispute the "don't do this here" part of that I do think I ought to be able to say here in the Meta that what I was reacting too was precisely that memorializing people who are neither famous nor infamous but who...

Why is this relevant to this thread? No one is going to mourn this guy, and unlike, say, Khamenei, no one has even heard of him either. And it has nothing to do with anything entertainment or culture related.

I loathe both gardening and yardwork (for the most part) but you have a really nice place there, Morrus.

Anyway: if Jessica is talking about her daughter does that mean we may get a stealth Luke cameo too?

The only thing that kind of worries me about this show is that I am not sure it is all that plausible that a mere mayor could pull off this level of evil corruption.

I am half wondering if Angela will lend the White Tiger amulet to Karen. It belongs to her, obviously, but she is only 15. And as we saw with her uncle, plot armour is not one of its powers. We have also seen Karen conspicuously learning how to fight, but that she cannot keep up. The amulet...

I have only ever played vanilla but they are folding Utopia, Synthetic Dawn, and Humanoid Species into the base game, so I am looking forward to getting back into it when that happens next month.

I have never seen The Blair Witch Project (nor do I intend to) but I was definitely workshopping a pun while watching this trailer and have settled on The Wares Witch Project.

From a certain point of view the only actual cost of space exploration is the consumption of materials and the pollution produced as a byproduct of launches. The money spent goes into the pockets of people who live and work on Earth. Only the materials that get used up or launched into orbit are...

I think I will see this in theatre. The national slight that prevented me from seeing Superman in theatre is somewhat counterbalanced by the additional imperative to give female-led movies a boost in a time of <insert potentially rules-breaking political observation here> .

I think it is more, "Adam is sent away as a child, eventually finds his way home as an adult, then becomes He-Man" . Like, they literally show him reminiscing over the drawings he made of his home as a child.

Generally I do not like it when they mess with the canon in a fundamental way and Adam growing up on Earth is definitely that. But it definitely looks pretty enough to give it a fair shot.

I am not technically playing it yet but the final episode of The Long Dark's story mode, Wintermute, finally comes out today in about five hours after many, many years of development.

I do not know if a table top game has enough lasers to replicate the feel of Gundam.

I vaguely remember years ago seeing something suggesting that if you were to observe a proton and antiproton annihilate with the naked eye you would see the tiniest flash and that was about it. Maybe it was more than one of each, but yeah, quantity matters a lot. Antimatter in Star Trek is...

What does it even mean for a clone to have three times as many mutations as an offspring that is only half of the original? Anyway what it sounds like is that we need a new study to determine whether you can intersperse cloning and natural reproduction indefinitely while maintaining stability.

I have always been incredibly turned off by the cloning part of Dune (I have only read the first book though honestly). And I think part of it may come down to Duncan Idaho being named "Idaho" . Like, it is so weird that this character in this space epic over ten thousand years in the future is...

I like what I am seeing, and I really like that Michael Mando is finally getting the chance to show off the promise of his Mac Gargin. The fact that Banner is in this and they cut off him asking about Peter's name makes me think that somewhere inside The Hulk remembers what everyone else does...
