At least the MCU obeys the square cube law

Yeah that’s what I meant—looking back on it now it *feels* inevitable that nothing that happened in 1942 really mattered, it’s all irrelevant once the American wartime economy fully engaged. But at the time that was far from obvious. (Otherwise Japan wouldn’t have attacked!)

I love how Grace is having an RE7 style very scary horror nightmare and then Leon barges in and brings RE4 with him.

This game is about being old and sick and useless, I feel so *seen*

In retrospect it feels like Allied victory is inevitable the moment the USA is freed from even the pretense of neutrality, but that was very much not evident at the time.

Up there with The Great Dictator being released in 1940 in terms of “movies that aren’t timeless and that’s good actually”

Isn’t this a plot point in Captain America? Steve Rogers agrees to take experimental drugs because he washed out for being underweight?

Prominently citing the source (ideally in the headline, even) for a claim you can’t independently verify is a good journalism practice.

I’m torn though because if there’s any chance of more content for the GF9 board game, I’m happy.

You are the only other person I have ever seen with this *extremely correct* take.

This is a very stupid joke (laudatory)

Why are there apparently no Dems in Maine approximately 50 years old without Nazi tattoos, is the real question?

Makes me suspect this video isn’t real.

No we aren’t. Dem Texas statewide campaigns are at best elaborate feints. But some of them are more convincing and effective than others.

No but really I was always under the impression that Yakub was an Atlantis survivor.

I absolutely love* the “I am not antisemitic, I am merely antijewish, and have thus evaded your rhetorical trap!” maneuver.

*I do not love it

If Janeway thinks your project is interesting she’ll get excited about it and help you with it.

Honestly why would there be any sort of qualifications or standards for who gets hired to serve in the United States Congress, the Appendix Of Freedom?

To be fair, “shut up pope and let us do our war” has been a common sentiment for thousands of years.

That worked when these would be read in the context of an op/ed page, surrounded by other opinions, potentially alongside an opposing view. But now the NYT is primarily consumed as individual articles read on a webpage.

Look, that’s not how it works and you know it. They’ll have an election in Maine and if Platner wins, then any purported anti-semitism is thus cured. Just like how we resolved the question of Trump’s various crimes.

Stealth titans? I honestly don’t understand, that’s like having a stealth skyscraper.

The “real” answer, to the extend there is one, is that the lack of water will hopefully motivate the Iranian people to overthrow their government, and then Reza Pahlavi will arrive with water
