I'd wager it would be roughly cubic in shape

Netflix has a reasonable track record with these things, maybe I'll even watch it if they show hog.

Someone needs to tell the russian bot farms that they should target a site with more users lmao

I got to the 10 years in prison part and thought "surely that will be the most outrageous suggestion"

Why doesn't he set an example by talking about material issues instead of contributing to a discussion he thinks is all a waste of time

Reading some of these comments you'd think they build little free libraries by dismantling actual libraries, I think some of you could stand to take it down a notch

Or just engage in moderation like every other medium, it's weird to me that playing videogames is automatically supposed to be a "hobby" but the same doesn't apply to watching movies or reading books or whatever.

It feels like that sub is somehow degrading. Like it was always evil and always stupid but there's still somehow a sense to me that it's devolved.

Oh I meant Bernie was the treatment, as in they're drawing a false equivalence between trying to do something good and running into difficulties vs just completely giving up.

Why bother with cancer treatment if you know you're eventually going to die anyway, hmmmm?

The funniest one of these "positive news" stories I've ever seen was when a local news channel spotlighted a farm that was taking retired racehorses to "save them from the slaughterhouse." Which is all well and good but imagine seeing that as someone who didn't already know they were being killed.

I say funniest because at least they weren't talking about people.

 

What if whenever anyone brings up Chapo Trap House the podcast, we all pretend to not know what it is.

It could be like a cool way of poking fun at the fact that even though this community came from one that was supposedly dedicated to Chapo, it actually bears little connection to it in practice.

I think this is a fun joke we could do literally thousands of times with basically zero variation.

 

cw for weight/body image, of course

Usually discussions about this get overrun by chuds so I think it'd be nice to hear what people here have to say.

Personally I think it's some good and positive ideas but they're mixed in with potentially harmful medical misinformation.

I know this is far from a hot take but this game is so fucking good.

I loved Super Metroid and any game that reminds me of it, but this seriously feels like Super Metroid plus an extra two decades worth of game design and technological progress.

 

Also comparing it to Rick and Morty which suggests they haven't watched it

edit: If you don't like the show that's cool I just thought this was a weird pattern

 

All of the arguments I've seen for it seem to correctly point out a lot of flaws in the education system but not really complete the case in a convincing way, but I'm not going to dismiss it out of hand
