I feel like we should have learned our lesson from the last time a rich Belgian guy personally owned an entire country.

The devs of Killer Instinct had the same thing happen. They tried to be radically transparent in their balance decisions, but ultimately stopped because high-level players and their communities would focus more on influencing the devs than on the game. Ultimately, relying on data was more valuable.

Instead of blaming voters, maybe you should blame the party for running candidates that their own party members don't want to vote for?

His book "Why We're Polarized" would probably make for a good IBCK episode. It seems like Klein had one idea and is now so committed to it as part of his identity that he has become that Dril tweet about shrinking into a corncob.

I have an idea for an experiment: give me the $5 trillion, and I will let you know if it helps me at all.

And the UI doesn't make it clear that items have stack limits! The 9 bandages I had that *looked* like one stack of 9 in the quick menu were actually 3 stacks of 3 when I went into the inventory menu.

Oh huh, this must be where the guitar Haruhi Suzumiya uses in the anime came from. It's not a common guitar but the episode Live Alive aired in 2006 so it would have been a recent cultural reference.

Anyway anyone who would sell out the rights of a marginalized group just to get into office doesn't deserve to hold office.

No, Democrats need to take a stand and actually direct the conversation for once, rather than letting their opponents dominate the discussion and set the tone for the whole country. People don't just wake up and hate trans people; they look to their leaders and see what they're saying.

Definitely Tomb Raider. It has such a lonely, empty vibe. Being a young kid and playing that game, not very confident in my skills with guns or jumping... once you get into the first level, and it's dark and quiet, and then the T-Rex emerges from the shadows... I never progressed out of that room.

Yes, if you assume people are busy for 8 hours and asleep for 8 hours, and maybe factor in a couple hours for commuting or whatever... you might find that most people have about 6 hours of unstructured time in their day that they can use for leisure, among other things.

I really adore how you can feel Rian Johnson's frustration with JJ Abrams coming out of the screen. TFA is a fine but derivative movie. TLJ is a carefully crafted rebuttal and is by far the more interesting of the two as a result.

I wasn't going to pay for GPT-5 to test this, but Gemini 2.5 Flash absolutely got the answer wrong. Then, when I asked it to highlight the R in Wyoming, this happened:

Uline is owned by and is operated by Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein, who use their cardboard box fortune to fund conservative political causes. They're anti-union, anti-regulation, anti-women's rights, and (relevant) anti-lgbtq+.
