I don’t know if this is a joke or not. Elden Ring has Ghiza’s Wheel as a weapon and is low-key considered “Dark Souls 4” by many fans.

It’s dependent on a given state’s terminology. New York, for example, has villages. They’re municipalities that fall within towns, but collectively offer additional services that the town does not. So I could live in the village of Pomona, in the town of Haverstraw, and I’d need to pay taxes to the village and the town separately.

Client-therapist privilege is foundational to how therapy works, but most states have laws saying a therapist must report admissions of abuse. I don’t see doctors rallying against those laws.

The Comedian was based on Peacemaker. The initial pitch was that all of the Watchmen would be DC’s (at the time) recently-acquired Charlton characters. DC nixed the idea, so Moore just tweaked them and renamed them.

The issue is that he’s only been indicted in New York, and New York abolished the death penalty more than twenty years ago.

The Feds would need to press their own charges if they wanted to pursue the death penalty, which they have not done yet. That’s the laughable part: they’re trying to dictate sentencing before they pressed charges, gathered evidence, or secured a conviction. And the only way to get a death sentence is by unanimous jury vote during sentencing, which, let’s be honest, is going to be very difficult to get rid Luigi.

The Beach was just too weird for the Titanic fans. It was right in the wheelhouse for Danny Boyle fans at the time.

Of course the book was better, but I really enjoyed the movie for what it was.

I collect spores, mold, and fungus.

Isn’t that exactly what happened, like, three weeks ago?

Your parents can disqualify you from student aid at any age. My brother went to community college in his 30s and still had to complete a FAFSA (including parental income data) to apply for assistance.

He’s just Mister Oogie-Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas at this point.

And progressive tax rates collected at the state level distributed based on student density and district need are better than both options.

My Catholic in-laws voted for Trump in 2020 because Biden, a Catholic, was going to outlaw catholicism.

There’s no hope for these people.

Just a point of clarification: the probationary period of federal employees is much longer than 90 days. For most, it’s one year. Some roles are two years.

Not every argument has two sides. Some have five sides. Some have one side. Pigeonholing everything into a duality hampers our ability to understand nuance.

But I guess it does make for better television.

Biden campaigning in 2020: I’m going to put guardrails in place to stop all this corruption and this slouch towards fascism. I’m going to Save the Soul of America.

Biden leaving office in 2025: Why didn’t anybody do anything?!?

Either this comment is also misogynistic as all hell, or my mother was very masculine.

Could own a two-family home. It’s super common in my area for there to be one apartment downstairs and one upstairs.

I haven’t been to a doctor in over twenty years now. For most of that time, either I didn’t have insurance or my insurance was so laughably bad and my wages so low that I couldn’t afford to use it. Now I’ve got a decent job and decent insurance, but the nearest doctor accepting patients is over 50 miles away.

Guess all I can do is cross my fingers and hope whatever kills me does it quick.

I read about a pilot program in Canada back in the '70s or '80s that found that fewer people on UBI had jobs, but those people who left the workforce were overwhelmingly new mothers and older teens who were still in school.

Kurt Vonnegut had a fun take on this exact scenario in his first book, Player Piano.
