give the supreme court more time to backslide

This is at least the third time. FFXIV was terrible at launch and was fixed a couple of years later with the release of 2.0

the whole "Deckard's a replicant thing" is lame because it ruins his character arc if he is. IMO the whole film is a comparison of the human Deckard who coldly murders replicants without mercy (like a machine) vs the replicant Roy who kills with passion, and eventually grants mercy to his enemy. The replicant is "more human than human", and the human is more machine-like than the machine. Deckard's story is going from a robot-man to someone who actually feels alive and concern for someone other than himself at the end.

"You childless losers probably spend all your time rescuing cats from trees!" Vance reportedly yelled as he ran off stage, mascara streaming down his face.

It's great when dystopic defense contractors take names from the things I love! Palmer Luckey started one called Anduril, and I just can't tell you how much I love these fucking shits co-opting Tolkien's words in their endeavors to profit on oppression and murder.

I think they're not being built in most US (and maybe Canadian?) cities because nimbys only want single-family detached houses to be built to preserve their home's value

least that's what I've gathered from watching youtube videos on urban planning and reading articles

afaik it's essentially an apartment but you own your domicile, and have a stake in the building as a whole along with the other "tenants" who are also co-owners.

yeah, I know. I just get pissed off whenever I hear a parent talking like this

"Is that hundred grand a gift... or a loan?"

Neither, it's an obligation. You don't get to choose whether or not to provide for your children as you would a gift, nor can you expect a "return" on your "investment".
