Didn't Atari do it first?

If you want to talk about holding water there would need to be an inside and outside, right?

Not satire...

Only douchecanoes use the term unironically, so it follows the person they are criticising is likely doing something morally right.

It's true, I did play Super Mario All-Stars for SNES.

Have you heard the term virtue-signaling?

Selfish people want to paint people better than them as bad, so they try to adjust the narrative to suggest that those better people are actually faking it. The term virtue-signaling suggests that these virtuous acts are actually just for appearances, and insincere.

The term woke has a similar implication. It's like "this person is trying very hard to appear to be virtuous, and in doing so, they're going too far, and doing more harm than good."

That's my intellectual take on it, anyway. Plebs just adopt the term without understanding the implied meaning. "Other team == woke == bad" is all 95% of them think.

A sicker population means more money for the executives that own medical facilities and insurance companies.

There would be many people implicated in such files. Even if a handful of people at the top would be able to sidestep any consequences, dozens more would not.

The only reason the current admin is able to stay in power is because it's enabled by hundreds of influential sycophants. If a few dozen of those were put behind bars, they'd lose their majority, and stop being able to dismiss any and all legal challenges.

Let me remind you that the 14th amendment states that anyone who gives aid or comfort to an enemy of the United States is defined as a terrorist. If they lost their majority, it would open up every single person who voted against impeachment after the insurrection to getting slapped with terrorism charges.

Hey board of directors! Make me your new CEO and I will fix this problem!

Snoke would be a better analogue due to head size

I mean, how hot is this nurse?

 
 

Gallery is my preferred photo viewer. I'd like to be able to delete and move files without being asked for permission every time, and I understand this screen is where that is controlled. However, I don't know how to add an app to this screen, so I can set the setting to allow. Any ideas?

 

Let's say you are dying of starvation. You pull one of your teeth out, causing blood to slowly seep into your mouth, which you swallow. The calories from the blood getting digested will delay the time you die of starvation, right? Or will losing blood while starving kill you faster?

 

The guy tries to surprise his family by asking for a photo of the car, then plans to pop out of a fake car seat. But the plan backfires when he gets stuck. The car has a toy car glued to the hood. The request was something like "the guys don't believe I glued a toy car on the hood, can you send a pic of it" or something.

The show has mystery elements, and the episode starts with the premise that the guy is missing. I forget how popular of a show it is.

 

I love these mechanics. Manually controlling a player character to run around a world doing these things is great for immersion.

I've already played Skyrim and My Time at Portia.
