If I’m following the logic from the other guy, I think that it would be “Microsoft ecosystem”, not “XBox ecosystem”, since they’re removing the specific platform, and adding the company. Which I think works.

While I do agree with what you’re saying, and it’s a way of reading it I hadn’t considered, I don’t think the distinction is clear from the meme. Then again, it’s just a meme, so my expectations can probably stand to be lowered a bit.

This might be heresy, but I feel like saying that “science isn’t truth, it’s the search for truth”, and “if you disagree it’s not a disagreement, you’re just wrong” is internally inconsistent.

It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).

I’ve been thinking it’s just a rebranding of the idea of karma, which is old as dirt. “The Law of Attraction” is just the way I’ve seen it discussed online in its most recent manifestation (pun intended)

To all the people downvoting: “Law of Attraction” is not a lay person’s way of saying “Law of Gravity”.

It’s the belief online that “if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff” (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)

OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, for mining, by doing what the meme says (I don’t know what “fossilized algae” refers to, but it makes the nitro not go boom, when it really wants to boom). After seeing what it was eventually used for (bombs. Lots and lots of bombs) he regretted ever making it. He set up the Nobel Peace Prize as a result, to try and even the scales a bit, so to speak

It’s the tea party. T = tea

Maybe they mean L2, the Lagrange point on the far side of the earth from the sun? It’ll never see any days, new or otherwise.

You say that like he wouldn’t have been dead pretty soon anyways. From a different point of view, he robbed the world of getting to execute him themselves. (Yes, bloodthirsty, but something they may have thought about at the time)

We’d probably end up with a situation where wild deer don’t have the gene and city deer do, excepting any cross-breeding.

Ah, missed that. Yeah, I see where you’re coming from.

I feel a little bad for such a short response, but fair enough. Good points all around.

Sorry, American here. Did WW3 start and I missed it? Is it Ukraine/Russia? Israel/Palestine? Horrible though they are, they seem pretty contained this far, unless something new happened I haven’t seen anything about.

Remarkably easy to read in her voice. 10/10

The Milky Way is spinning. It’s spinning wrong based on the stuff we see. So, scientists think there must be stuff we can’t see making it spin that way. Some scientists have drawn a picture of what it would look like if we could see the stuff.

Saving this for later, as I want to hear responses as well.

Also, slight spoiler ::: spoiler spoiler Has the most Cox on screen of any Marvel show so far :::

Finished first episode. Starts with some new stuff, then does a quick recap of what happened in Maya’s life through the end of Hawkeye. If you watched that, you can skip it, as I didn’t see anything new. Then, the second half sets up the central conflict for the season.

Some unexpected elements, which you’ll see in the first few minutes. The show might not be a straight up crime drama like I was expecting (but will probably mostly be a crime drama).

Some fun, subtle, stuff in fight scenes involving the fact that Maya has a prosthetic leg.

Secondary characters seem fun so far, especially her cousin, who I hope survives the series (but probably won’t, cause no one is allowed to be happy)

Rating 3.5/5, because recap was slightly boring.

Oh, that released? Dang… I need to get on that…
