I haven't seen anything about the new games, but even in X/Y it was pretty clearly a tragic romance

They probably weren't legally obliged, but there wasn't an established place for hot dogs to exist. So they made a different kind of food.

Plus, idk if this is theme or narrative, but being one of the very few able to wander between these strange and wonderful worlds, getting into and out of trouble constantly. Hubris and compassion and inexplicably recurring villains. There's a lot of structure in common.

After hearing about the production of The Birds? A little.

Curling. So much curling.

But it's five episodes compiled for a special theatrical release. So, a "movie".

Not sure if it's a cour, a movie, or a "movie" that's just the stuff they couldn't squeeze into twelve to thirteen episodes, but I'll take it.

Genuinely, I think there's a deep-rooted vibe in the Anglophone world that the difference between government and tyranny is being able to laugh at those in charge. It's why framing bigotry as "just joking" runs so much cover with so many people - you're not allowed to make rules on jokes.

I feel like the change to the ending pulled some thematic punches for no good reason, but it's a very good movie

Is this why everyone gets so hung up on what's normal?

They do so at somewhat different speeds. Like, Bilbo gets decades of manageable issues, Frodo gets a steady decline, but Boromir and Smeagol both go off the deep end immediately. Who's normally a good person, but touches this once and jumps straight to murder?

I don't think it is, but it makes for a good joke

The fact that Tesla is worse is neither surprising nor evidence your idea is good.

I'm medically barred from driving. I'm completely on board with, say, a mandatory limiter that locked out speeds above the maximum speed limit in a country. I'm just aware that trying to physically limit a car to the speed limit on a specific road is both a logistical and surveillance nightmare.

Once you go from "illegal to" to "physically unable to", you're not legislating. You're engineering, and engineers need to consider edge cases.

Starting to understand the TL group putting a warning before the first page.

Extremely hazardous if directly encountered, but dissipated by relatively thin barriers?

this is "not terrible"? The noble and the servant visibly moving at different frame rates?

's all good. It's a leaves-zone trigger, those behave a little oddly. They have to or a bunch of them just wouldn't work.

... why would he like -x/-x spam? He wants them to die at full power!

+x/-x removal does get both of their approval, at least.

I will always be on the side of the perverts. Plus we have infinite dragons.

The hubris of landfall

Excellent creature designs from what I recall

damn

Any bad thing they could do for not complying they could also do to you for kicks after you complied. Coinflip.

Always worth reminding people what the institution stands for when people are in a mood to celebrate it

Unfortunately, the Four-Eyes Agreement doesn't have the same ring to it

Seven of Nine saying "I fail to see the benefit of monogamous relationships."
