Yes, I will. I think you should consider doing the same with some of your more definitive (and imo not fully backed up) claims.

You're right--going back and reading this more closely, GP says he filled out the paperwork to be grandfathered and the marines lost it. Do I believe that? I don't know. But it's hardly impossible, so I don't think it makes sense for OP to say with confidence that the chest tattoo was the problem.

He's saying he couldn't prove to the marines that he was grandfathered in because they lost the previous record of his tattoos. I understand being skeptical of that claim (I don't believe a word this guy says!) but I think you're making way more definitive assertions than the facts warrant.

I know it seems low-stakes that someone is trying to cast a guy who sucks as someone who sucks *more,* but you gotta learn to trust that voice in your head that's like "this makes sense except for that one weird bit..." because it won't always be low stakes.

Please be skeptical about everything you read. It's a mess out here.

More context here, but I didn't want to repost it without context and make people think I support Platner (because ick)

There is plenty about Platner that is disqualifying! He's a deeply flawed candidate and I think people shouldn't vote for him. But his track record is sketchy enough without stretching the truth like this. It's not the smoking gun OP is presenting it as.

Congrats to you and the whole team! Extremely well deserved!

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

I'm going to Double or Nothing!!!

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

He's SO great! I just feel like they aren't writing to his full range maybe? I don't know, I can't quite figure out what's not clicking for me.

If it helps, he's still around pretty regularly in flashbacks. But yeah, he definitely brought some much-needed levity and charm to the show, and they didn't really add anything to compensate for that loss.

(From is my current mystery box show of choice, and any time I watch a different mystery box show, I think about how I'd rather be watching From--which hasn't helped me enjoy Paradise. I don't dislike Paradise! I just can't figure out if it's got the juice.)

Paradise is a very strange watch which oscillates wildly between "That was surprisingly thoughtful/well researched" and "is this show actually terrible?" and I never know where I'm gonna land.

The weird "artsy" cover songs Paradise uses in its soundtrack have always been baffling, but I think they peaked with the serious, melancholy ballad version of Elvis' Hound Dog this week.

EXTREMELY open to non-games work too. Aside from my technical background, I’m also a published author many times over (comics, prose, and nonfiction), community organizer, and propmaker.

I wish these kids weren't so Apple-obsessed because it's keeping them from recognizing a true star:

sometimes you just gotta shake your head and marvel at what a strange and mysterious world we live in

I could not have predicted anything I read when I chose to expand the replies lol. Incredible stuff

Still in shock, devastated by the loss of Jacopo Camagni. An immense artist, a titanic talent, a good man and a dear, dear friend.
Treat yourself with one of his many superb comics. From his superhero work in Marvel to his graphic novels. Everytime you enjoy his art makes him stay longer with us.

PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

Don't let the American government decide what books you and your family are allowed to read.

The sweetest. I'm devastated.

Oh my god, this doesn't feel real. Goddammit.
