fair points! ty for your thoughts
So it's the GOP's dossier from before they pulled him for VP? Huh...not sure what to do with that, exactly. Definitely some meme potential, though.
The number of users to have voiced their disagreement already exceeds that of the admins.
Seems like it's kind of a moot point then, no? If even a majority of Ukrainian users are aware of the issues with the list, I would expect most would just leave and the list would fade into obscurity.
What does "witch hunt" even mean anymore? I feel like it has been overused to the point of losing all meaning. In this case, by "witch hunt", the writer means "they have started going too far and making some bad calls". They aren't calling for people to mount heads on spikes or review bomb, as far as I can tell.
It's a strange case, though. Who do we think follows these curators? The title of the list is in Ukrainian, so I'd guess it's mostly Ukrainians. On the one hand, I don't want to tell Ukrainian folks how to spend their money with respect to Russia. Maybe for some, even the slightest whiff of Russia will turn them off from the game, regardless of how logical it is. It's not my busieness to question the mostly-harmless emotional reaction of a people under siege. For those, these curation lists might still be useful. Of course, people that care this much would probably research another way if the curator lists didn't exist.
For others, I'm sure they would prefer a curator list that actually does the research and doesn't list a game unless the purchase would very clearly benefit Russia in tax dollars. For those, this turn of events is unfortunate. On the other hand, those people are probably level-headed enough to do their own research on a game-by-game basis.
My point is: the impact of these curator lists existing is probably minimal. But maybe i'm wrong, idk. What do y'all think?
My partner likes to adorn their backpacks and jackets with them. I haven't found a good use for them. Finally figured out what to do with all my misc stickers once i got a water bottle. lol

hooray for titty sprinkles!
i guess, but it would be weird to call all of Congress a "conspiracy" because they all conspire together in front of the public eye to debate on and pass legislation.
but that wasn't hard evidence with multiple data points. It was one, single data point, blown out into a full conspiracy. EDIT: If I am misrepresenting that conspiracy, please let me know. I didn't really pay that much attention to it, for obvious reasons.
they DID add those crossover decks recently, and the dev has indicated that there is more additional content coming. Idk, I think having the cards in HD wouldn't look right, because the entire game has a specific kind of pixel art. Even the smooth, swirly background has a pixel art filter on it, bc that's the vibe that the dev really wants the game to have. Mixing them would be like when pixel art rpgs have super hi-res fonts. It just doesn't fit right.
i like that this landed at exactly 69 upvotes. nobody ruin it!

[a three-panel comic by Tom Gauld for New Scientist. The top border of the comic shows a two-dimensional, side view pattern of different cars lined up in traffic. The first panel panel shows two people talking. Person A is holding a book and saying, "It's hard to get excited about these new electric vehicles when I've seen much more ambitious possibilities in fiction." Person B is replying, "Sci-fi fan, huh?". In the second panel, Person A is looking at their book and going, "uhhh...yeah. Sci-fi." The third and final panel reveals that Person A is reading a book from the Busytown series, and it depicts a mouse driving a pickle-shaped car, a worm driving an apple-shaped car, and a pig driving a hotdog-shaped car.]

The photo has been edited so that the chef's head is replaced by the head of a shrimp, and the chef's arms have each been replaced with the tail of a shrimp. There is a snapchat-style caption on the photo that says, "dude no fucking way".]

The text in the post says: "People only ask 'what is a woman' and not 'what is a man', because that question was already answered by the greatest philosopher of our time: Dracula". Below the text is a screenshot from the game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which shows Dracula saying, "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets."]

Didn't the Spruce Pine mines actually get hit by Helene? All the articles I am seeing are saying that "access has been blocked" due to the flooding, but nothing concrete as far as damage to the mines themselves. Seems highly concerning for the global economy, though.
