While I also read the email as pragmatic, I don’t read it as kind or loving. It reads like a letter written out of fear. I don’t think your daughter should have to hide who she is to be safe, but I would also want your child to be safe.

I hope you can hold at least two truths about this letter in your head. It isn’t right to expect LGBT people to hide who they are for safety. And also, a worried family member wants their family to be safe, even if they don’t know the right way for that to happen.

I did not know this existed, but I’m going to watch it now!

I am currently playing through it, and it has some of the best moments gaming has to offer. You don’t normally see such a specific voice in games narratives these days. I have been really enjoying it.

I’m currently in a swing state, and I really enjoy getting the postcards. It makes me feel a little less alone in the sea of red.

Skillup started the video saying that other people can have other opinions on the game. He didn’t like the combat, the art style, or the new tone. Those are all subjective things that other people could have enjoyed. Purely just in the video, he talked about how he didn’t like the necromancer character, but every clip he showed I liked. It’s just different tastes.

Yeah, because the market went from having the opinion of “I’m 80% sure that Tesla is going to do this robo taxi, automaton thing” to " I’m 65% sure that Tesla is going to do this robotaxi, automaton thing". Things are rarely all or nothing with the market.

He’s openly talked of rounding up illegal immigrants, and changing the laws about what makes immigrants legal. If he acts on even half the threats he has made, a lot of people are in danger.

All comic book writers do interviews before their series come out. And I’m sure that a competent writer is only going to give a character strengths that match with the challenges they are planning to put them up against.

I really love these games. I like the silly little puzzles with the good music and art. The lack of story never really bothered me because every single person you meet is so unique looking that it enables a lot of people-watching imagination on my part. I just think they’re neat :)

It’s an older comic,

Oh nice, thanks for the recommendations

That definitely makes sense. What’s a good SF book you’ve read recently?

I just had a friend tell me he loved the whole series (with caveats), why didn’t you like it?

It is a good sign, I was just saying that Georgia is definitely not for sure blue without interference from Republicans though (they do absolutely interfere though).

I like it too, but it is mainly our boy Ryan moodily staring and awful lot.

Nah dog. Georgia has some super red areas. The recent swing of the Atlanta suburbs to blue is a very recent phenomenon. Outside of Atlanta, it’s all trump country.

I’m playing Alan Wake II, and oh boy is it a great game. I’m not normally a horror fan, and have really only dabbled my way through a few residents evil, but I’m really enjoying myself in AW2. I love the off-kilter humor that remedy has, and their confidence to include it inbetween the horror, knowing it won’t undercut the scares. I’m also pretty intrigued by the mystery of it. My memories of AW1 are hazy, but there are a ton of nods to Control, which I also really liked.

That sounds very not simple, but I’m glad you were able to find relief! And it does sound like an interesting problem

Slang meaning cool, admirable

I was pretty convinced by the evidence they had for who Q was.
