I’m just hoping the story isn’t too… complicated. I’ve been kinda dreading that ever since they teased Shadow at the end of the 2nd movie. Sonic Adventure 2 made just enough sense for me to suspend my disbelief (the ultimate life form is a hedgehog furry speedster?), but most of the stuff after that left me wondering wtf was going on.

Holy crap, they got Keanu to voice Shadow.

Deathly Hallows

I’d like to play Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, but I think I got close to the end of the game and haven’t done all the side quest / collectible stuff. So now I have to decide whether to just finish it and see how it ends, or go back and try to 100% it.

My indecisiveness will probably result in the secret 3rd option of putting it off and playing something else.

Can you or anyone else tell me what “blue MAGA” is?

Edit: It sounds like the term means centrist/center-right Democrats who want to uphold the status quo. How is that “MAGA” of any flavor? I thought the MAGA movement was just a bunch of Christofascists.

I once wrote an essay about how dropping two nukes was excessive, but one was maybe okay :)

Real talk, these are the things I was taught in those young impressionable years. It’s fucked up. And I’ll bet plenty of my old classmates are still fucked up.

I spent my econ class learning about how tourism is good for the economies of resort towns, and watching travel shows about those resort towns :)

Savor these headlines now. We probably won’t see any more like them for a long time.

Are there any instances of a 3rd party making digital copies of games available and paying some licensing fee back to the copyright holders? Something akin to how book libraries handle ebooks?

Maybe Steam falls in this category a bit, but I’m thinking something more exhaustive and focused on games that are otherwise out of production.

Some of the companies involved that are mentioned in the article:

• Service providers (Comcast, Charter, Cox)
• Entertainment (Disney, AMC, Paramount, Warner Bros. Discovery
• Those connected to advertising (Google, Netflix, Amazon, Meta, Vizio, the NFL)
• Home security (ADT)

As another comment said, I also dropped everything and read the article. So yeah I guess that’d mean Streisand effect is coming into play.

Regarding the topic at hand: I don’t care what these companies say at this point. The fact is that in the past, I have used their services, clicked the “free” button, did some things, and then ended up having to pay them money.

Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, “Here’s how much you paid in taxes, if you’re cool with that then please disregard”, I will not be satisfied.

Side note: dang, you can do what now? I wonder how people have me labeled…

I’d say those aren’t my pronouns, but how would you know whether or not to believe me?

Not gonna lie… the headline got me to finally get around to donating.

Vance’s mother was able to buy private insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s insurance marketplace, run by Ohio, after overcoming substance abuse, becoming financially stable, and earning too much to stay on Medicaid.

FEMA has a webpage for catalogging and responding to rumors about the hurricane response, though I don’t see any as extreme as the ones mentioned in this thread: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/recover/rumor/hurricane-rumor-response

I’m skeptical of how much this will help after seeing how misinformation spread during COVID, but at least they’re trying.
