I thought the larger point was that they’re using plenty of sources that do not lie in the public domain. Like if I download a textbook to read for a class instead of buying it - I could be proscecuted for stealing. And they’ve downloaded and read millions of books without paying for them.

Thrawn would have been such a home-run no brainer

Well it sure looks fun and stylish but the reviews make it sound pretty unfinished

Truly a man of the people

Fucking monster.

Though there is some schadenfreude to be had that he managed to actually get the attention he wanted from this only for his colleages in congress to spike the biggest gift of an immigration bill they could have ever hoped for at the behest of their orange toddler-in-chief.

No way that’s the classic ‘pretend you’re smoking or otherwise disinterested and subtly twist’ move implemented by planting a pivot foot and then stepping back to cautiously turn your body

That’s not exactly the best comparison though because you have to run all 100 meters in the foot race, but in the presidential race you basically don’t have to run at all in the majority of states.

Oh the old reddit lemmy switcheroo

Do you ever get the feeling that all the right story beats are there, if only it were guided by a more masterful hand

And the same ancient animations and the same ancient loading screens :/

Doesn’t give one much hope for a new Elder Scrolls, does it

Yeah you say that until you get a tusk in the crotch

It drives me crazy that it has somehow become a patriotic flag-waving holiday

If you mean ranked choice, there are a lot of dems working on it

I was thinking it’s funny that they’d write an event into Star Trek so close to the time the episode aired and then I realized it was 30 YEARS AGO

I lost it over Pike’s Peak

She could start by dropping out of the race, endorsing Kamala, and then putting every dollar she has into organizing for national ranked choice voting so that hopefully once in my life I can vote my conscience at the same time I vote pragmatically.

I sincerely doubt there is much room between where Stein is at on the issues and where AOC is at on the issues - the main difference is that AOC is not running for president and making it easier for despicable people who don’t care about anything to win.

She wants to play them off as honest political differences anyway.

When her actions match her supposed intentions then I’d be more willing to give her charity.

Yeah Trump is very simple - he punishes anyone who doesn’t actively support him and rewards anyone who does. Anything he does for anybody is simply to show others that if you’re good to Trump, he’ll throw you a bone too.

He spends so much time performing for his base to ensure he has enough political power for that system to work. Once his base gets bored of him he’ll be nothing.
