My lists fascinatingly include:

- β€œCranky-Tankies” (despite being vocally anti-tankie)
- ”TERFs 2” (despite being vocally pro-trans / anti-TERF)
- β€œTwitter Behaviour” (despite not having logged into Twitter in more than a decade)
- β€œNazis and Zionists” (despite monthly donations to UNRWA and PCRF)

Star Fox is correct (specifically 64, but if I had a nickel for every time Fox and Friends saved Corneria from Andross, I'd have… more nickels than is reasonable).

Both of the others are also space-themed games from the 90's (one turn-based strategy, the other real-time strategy).

Describe your favorite games poorly:

- A nerd, a rich guy, an evangelical, a pacifist, an ammosexual, a tree-hugger, and a stereotype of Chinese communism walk into a bar

- Four furries save the solar system from a giant brain

- Space Karen becomes a banana and demands to see the galaxy's manager

Anyone with access to that many garden gnomes is automatically suspect.

β€œBut because his work had once been so popular – and because of widespread pirating – duplicate copies remained, and today about 300 of his films are known to exist. The Library has about 60.”

Yet another example of why so-called β€œpiracy” is morally good and should be legalized and encouraged.

That's alarmingly close to Tremors.

Neopets also seem relevant here.

Sex workers at Nevada brothel Sheri’s Ranch fight for the first-ever unionization Nevada is the only state where people can legally purchase sex, and now sex workers at one of the state’s oldest brothels are fighting to become the nation’s first to be unionized.

Hell yeah, best of luck to the United Brothel Workers, and I hope other courtesans throughout Nevada's brothels follow suit.

Wild that we knew all this 40 years ago, and yet we as a species continue to fail to do anywhere near enough with that knowledge. Is my generation gonna punt on the greenhouse effect like my parents' and grandparents' generations did?

I didn't even know it was based on a book. Doesn't sound like I'm missing much (besides scratching an intellectual curiosity itch, of course).

Yeah, I'd be curious about generational and income correlations there, since from what I've anecdotally seen it tends to cover both spectra (with a wealth floor from needing to be able to afford a home big enough for even one fridge, let alone multiple).

Another day, another instance of DHS agents pursuing uncharted depths of immorality and injustice.

Contention over Colorado River water would be a complete non-issue if California would take advantage of that nice long coastline it has and build some desalination plants.

This also has a lot less to do with tech bros than it does with farmers trying to grow water-intensive crops in the Mojave.

The pro move is to get the pizza slice and use that to wrap your choice of hot dog or chicken bake.

Interestingly not exclusive to Boomers. I have multiple Millennial friends with both a kitchen fridge and a garage fridge.
