To wit or not to wit?

Not at all clear to me that visible plastic surgery should result in severe ostracism

The ol' Greenwald Dodge

"can you trust a political streamer" the answer is no regardless of what follows

Kinda worried he'll be the next Payton Hillis

I don't have a Sora invite but if I did I would...maybe not actually but at least toy with the idea of generating a video of Bob Iger saying this

No thanks, bro!

A wonderful self-congratulatory just-so story but it's not borne out by any data

Eh at the end of the day it would be another open world checklist simulator

Looking "cool" or "like a douchebag" are not observer-independent qualities. In the scenario you describe I am the loser and the people I despise are winners. It's open and shut like that. There is no such thing as a moral victory.

Why would I cheerfully imagine people I despise celebrating

Not Berserk Vol.1! Not Berserk Vol.2! Not Berserk Vol.3!

...Peter Watts?

This is David Cage we're talking about

Superstitious space feudalism?

What a bitter, miserable woman
