Lol at all of the people arguing whether free will exists rather than whether the concept is useful.

@POStudios Is there any chance the Cognition games will be updated to 64-bit compatibility, so they can run on current versions of macOS?

I feel like Natalie could have avoided all of this had she written that Reddit post in the style of the Summa Theologica.

I’ve been waiting for this to blow over but it’s been years, so I have to address it: can one of the 100,000 leftists on here for whom it’s an essential article of faith that I am a “genocide-loving Zionist” explain—why? Despite my condemning the genocide dozens of times and never saying anything positive about Israel in my entire life?

If The Odyssey has studios hungry for more ancient Greece, I suggest looking to history rather than myth. The Persian Wars, the Peloponnesian War, the March of the Ten Thousand, and the wars of the Diadochi are amazing stories with huge personalities and never filmed properly.

There are surely only so many variations possible of plots involving non-benders being bitter that they can’t bend?

My question about Kanji was never whether he’s gay—he clearly is. It’s rather how he has such an insanely receded hairline and widow’s peak at like 16.

@wllmpan @jonlpan With terrible lip syncing at that.

@klarnic_debt I heard recently at a talk that this view was gaining traction, but this is my first time seeing it in the wild!

Americans: I have ridden a Hellobike around Shanghai for several hours and paid around a dollar. What are we doing, national family?

This is what renting a Citi bike and riding for 2 hours through Central Park gets you…

@allegedlyangelo @ContraPoints You really said:

I would trade pretty much any marvel movie to have another one of these

@steve_shives Condolences to you and your family 🙏🏻

The way he thinks it’s a gotcha to equate the loathing and hatred that an entire institution receives with the loathing and hatred that he, individually, personally, receives.

Absolute crash out from Musk after he’s presented with the reality that many, many people fucking hate him

Now I need miniseries of both the 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘰𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘺 and the 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘋𝘢𝘺𝘴. Netflix and HBO need to get on it.

Everyone please read Plato’s 𝘎𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘢𝘴.

Hunter Biden: “I believe the biggest problem in America is not the oligarchy, it’s the closetocracy. Everybody knows there is this closeted gay mafia, largely Republican, that exists in DC. The only reason that is relevant is I believe that internal conflict creates so much vitriol inside a person that they take it out on the rest of the world”
