    Important Going Forward

    Yes, thanks for the updates. Even if there is not a lot of forward movement, hearing that the plan is still current is reassuring.

    Important Going Forward

    I know I'm relatively new here, but I like this forum, and am glad that it appears to have successfully undergone one transition. But I think that the closing of the Politics forum is overkill. If you are seeing a lot of suddenly problematic politics threads, then drop specific, actionable...

    Superhero “Deconstructions” and somehow “superheroes” becoming Hollywood Celebrities

    It's very much a misunderstanding of different kinds of power, in most of its incarnations. Celebrities are powerful because they command the respect, or at least the attention, of many others. Superheroes are powerful because of what they can actually do. You can't cancel or blacklist a...

    United States Kenosha Shooter

    On the specific issue of fundraising, I don't think that will be a big problem. Edit: Not endorsing the above fundraiser, just linking to it as evidence. I have not investigated GiveSendGo as a charitable site nor that specific fundraiser, etc.

    Hazbin Hotel

    Eh. Gay people can fall in love. And although the protagonists do feature one lesbian couple and one aggressively non-gender-conforming sex spider, the pilot did not imply that everyone was a flavor of gay. I do not think that the series will end up being mere woke propoganda, and look...

    What Should The Right Wing Be?

    This is a great aspiration, but I feel that as a social strategy for humans giving up on these things will be flawed. If we had a great, grand, overriding purpose or some agreed-on existential threat looming on the horizon and clearly approaching, we can sacrifice these things and pull...

    What If? Males can participate in women’s sports and competitions?

    I mean, we have women's leagues for a reason, and that reason does not go away just because men are allowed to enter them. I think that there'd be a (aheh) gentleman's agreement for most honorable male athletes to not enter them, and for it to be assumed that any biological male who did would...

    MMO Warframe - Ninjas play free

    It's an all-day event in Eastern Standard Time, from 12:30 PM to sometime after 5:00 PM, and then streaming of the new content right after; there are separate rewards for watching during the main event and the streaming. My googling suggests that CET is 5 hours past EST, so yes, 10:00 PM, but...

    MMO Warframe - Ninjas play free

    You do not. You just need to link your Warframe account to your Twitch account. No money needs be spent.

    MMO Warframe - Ninjas play free

    Bumping this for a reminder. If anyone has been vaguely interested in Warframe previously, then this Saturday is TennoLive, the COVID-adapted version of the game's yearly convention. You can get some neat in-game rewards for logging in and watching, so feel free to do that, and a new game...

    Hazbin Hotel

    Yeah, I'd hope that this level of support means that it gets picked up and some serious resources thrown at it. But if not, eh, no one's making anyone contribute, and I've certainly enjoyed what I've seen so far for gratis, so no skin off my nose either way.

    Great, thanks. Just what I was looking for.

    Stereotypes in the Media that need to die

    Fair. How survivable is a .50 BMG round to a person? Actually, now that I think about it, I've seen a lot of water jugs and fruit shot, but I don't think I've seen Forged In Fire tests on human-analogue pig carcasses for firearms. I hesitate to ask because it sounds super-grisly now that I...

    Will Ground Robots replace Infantry Soldiers and Marines

    War does change over time as tech and goals change; look at the formations of old. But the point where we have a robot equivalent in function to the current grunt, only cheaper, is a world vastly further removed than ours in terms of tech and economics than we are from Napoleonic Europe. Like...

    PC Gaming The Epic Game Store

    I like the free games. I think I spent money on one game total there. If the CCP wants to bankroll various gaming companies in exchange for data of questionable utility, I'm happy to take their money by proxy.

    Resolved Is there an option to not view signatures?

    While the signatures here are not generally overlong or too garish, I still would prefer not to see them every time I read a post by a particular poster with them enabled. Is there a menu option to remove them for myself that I'm not seeing?
