Concept2 rowing machines. Even if they break, you can still buy spare parts at reasonable rates even for the very first model, which is decades old and only sold a few copies. Fantastic engineering.

Guess people voting for Trump wanted their anthill kicked real hard.

Another one that I love roasted

Just don't try that with white asparagus, that really needs to be cooked IMHO.

The 4B movement predominantly sees transgender rights movements as incompatible with feminism

Interesting, that his since been deleted from the Wikipedia article.

He was in so many different movies and shows, and he always brought so much presence. I will miss him.

Edit: he, not I.

not understanding why I’d have to kill everyone around after making this choice (Maman Brigitte for instance)

That actually happened to me, too. Luckily, I didn't mind too much, but yeah, it was a bit of a surprise.

Love it to pieces. Paid absolutely no attention to it before it was released, and due to some friendly advice from an online mate, waited a few months before picking it up, when most of the really bad bugs were already ironed out.

I love pretty much everything about it:

  • The score. The music is just so fantastic.
  • The settings. Brilliant. Any RPG that isn't set in a plain vanilla fantasy world already has a big advantage when it comes to my affection, but this setting is just super cool.
  • The representation. Absolutely not in-your-face, yet so much there.
  • The world building. I think they paid absolutely absurd attention to details, like "where does everyone's food come from" and "where does everybody's garbage go".
  • The story. I like it.
  • The characters. They feel relatable and their motivation makes sense, which is not always the case in many games. I find myself caring about (some of) them.
  • The quests. I like them.
  • The combat. It started out okay, but now, it is so much fun. I absolutely love what they have done with it after 2.0. I love being able to actually throw people at each others. I love the various melee finishers. I love the cyberware. I love using the wrist rocket launcher to blow up attacking cars. I love being able to throw knifes and axes without constly having to craft more. I love all of it.
  • The mods. I love what dedicated modders have done to make a good game into a really really great game. There are such fantastic mods for this game, it keeps bogging my mind.

So yeah, love it to pieces, and absolutely one of my all time favorite games.

In 2006, a movie was released in which an evil AI is defeated by Shia LeBouf.

I actually really liked that, too. Fudge the critics!

It does seem that more than a few of this kind of people are quite tonedef. One example is a lot of them liking Rage Against the Machine but objecting when Tom Morello makes a political statement, as if their entire song catalog wasn't political and literally raging against everything those conservatives and/or fascists hold dear.

STOP DOING C++

  • Templates were not supposed to make your error messages explode into unrecognizable gibberish
  • "Yes, please generate 5000 pages of garbage instead of an understandable error message!" - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

Look at what compilers have been demanding your respect for all this time:

???

They have played us for absolute fools.

I would so use that in their next marketing campaign. The slogan writes itself!

"Outlawed in [Denmark|in some countries] for being too spicy!"

Good idea, giving Microsoft control over every single open source project. I mean, what could go wrong, right?
