If you haven't read the books, Chrisjen Avasarala is completely pointless throughout the entire first season.
She's just ranting and reacting to stuff that's happening on the far side of Mars and nothing to do with her. Yet she keeps getting screen time. She doesn't become relevant to the wider plot until Bobby visits Earth.
You really think the TV series is better than the books? Don't get me wrong, I think they are both marvellous. I just don't think the series is better. Particularly if you are a book reader. I get how they'd potentially be a bit meaty if you don't normally read much.
Compared to the circles she moves in, yeah she's middle class. When you hobnob with the richest people on earth and you're only personally worth a couple-hundred million dollars, I can see how you'd think of yourself as middle class.
I also think of myself as middle class. Just not quite as middle class as she is. 😁
Perspective is funny, huh?
C'mon, mate. Let's not pretend this story would have played out the same if he didn't have guns. Police were on their way. They arrived on time to hear the last shot. If he had a knife or hammer or similar, the odds of both these women being dead by the time police arrived plummet to near zero.
This time last week, he was a law abiding gun owner. That's kind of the problem. People were raising red flags all around the dude, but on paper he's a 60 year old, affluent man living in a rich suburb with no criminal history. The law doesn't presently have a way to handle this - you can't punish someone who hasn't done anything.
Wow, I'm all in with these, except I'd have added Subnautica and I would have had Dishonored instead of Thief II. I Never played this game but I may fix that.
It was confirmed this afternoon that he had two handguns on the scene and was licensed as a collector for them.
I am personally surprised, I didn't know that was possible. Meanwhile, there's a petition going around by gun owners saying they don't want tighter gun laws in the wake of this. I wonder whether there is an opposing petition saying it should not be legal to have a handgun at home?
This is actually something being debated in Australia. Until a few years ago, Dingoes were considered the same species as the regular dog Canis familiaris. Recent DNA studies have shown them to be distinct, however. So now there's Canis dingo. Only, Dingoes can interbreed with the regular dog, which normally is the test for them being the same species. Maybe that makes them a subspecies?
So, yeah - even we don't know what they are. If they were raised by humans, they are happy friendly doggos. If in the wild, then they're dingoes.
I'd be surprised if Reddit hasn't recovered and grown past its size at the point of the exodus. Only about 60,000 came here. 60k isn't even a big sub.
I read somewhere that they were 2% smaller in July. We are no threat to Reddit.
$10 a month to have basically every song ever and never have to worry about YouTube ads. Yes, I use it.
To confused people exploring from all Communities trying to understand what the hell is going on:
That's about it. Most of the people whinging about censorship don't even play the game. They're just here to whinge about how the world is moving on from old bigoted ways and they want to stay in the past and be jerks to people for merely existing. If they actually cared, they'd just download the mod from some other site. The mod itself is probably not much bigger than this reply.
Given how many millions of people must have used Amazon to order stuff to work from home over the past 3+ years, this is a really weird position to hold. You'd think this guy would be all about everyone kitting out their home office spaces.
Happy birthday, guys!
I know I don't comment a lot, but I do read most of this community as time permits.
