It’s only been “irrelevant” because of the poor reception to Sims 4. The Sims was the first great “life sim” game, and the 3rd installment added a crazy amount of content. That’s all we wanted. More stuff to decorate with and places for our Sims to explore. Nah, Sims 4 took away the variety and added paywalls and multiplayer and was just generally a poor experience.

For anyone holding out hope for #5, this is on par with Blizzard announcing their smartphone diablo game. EA killed this franchise, and yeah I’m a little sad about it.

The classic Stop’n’Drop! Later than prophesied, but what a time to be alive.

Another vote for the ErgoDox EZ. It’s pricey but very much worth the investment. Makes me hate every other keyboard I use lol

“Themselves”

The term remained in use as a technical ethnic term in anthropological and historiographical literature into the late 1980s.

It’s hard to fault him there in the early 1900s when it was an “accepted” scientific term until nearly a century later. Thank you for sharing that link 'cause that’s a new one to me!

The thing is - there is no evidence of sexual misconduct. He’s been investigated by just about everyone from local cops to the FBI since the early 90s, and despite the outcry there’s never been evidence. Considering how our justice system dealt with another high-profile figure’s history of sexual abuse, I have to believe something concrete would’ve turned up by now.

Inappropriate? Absolutely. Illegal? Pedophilia? Doubtful. I mean, provided we genuinely believe in “Innocent until proven guilty” ideal…

She sells 'em

“Covenant” and “Prometheus” would’ve been killer movies to kick off a new IP.

I might be the old man shouting at clouds, but I’ve been turned off to all franchise “reboots”. Just sick of rehashes and revisits and the cute little “winks” these movies do to the previous installments. Have an original thought, damn.

Gotta brush up on the ol’ powershell

One day I hope to write a “go fuck yourself” email of this caliber.

Just occurred to me - are there streamers who read books aloud for their audience? Like a live audiobook?

The scariest thing in the world would be if they gave Sinbad another tv show.

I hear you, but consider it goes well beyond the sticky plant - simply possessing marijuana in many areas of the US can still get you thrown in jail. With many of those same states enforcing “mandatory terms” for drug crimes, we have thousands of people jailed for years for non-violent offenses. We have a lot of huge issues to deal with, but the “War on Drugs” from the start was a thin veil for persecuting minorities, and it’s still going.

I’m hoping for the rest of your list of requests, too, but personally I think federal weed legalization would have a wider-reaching, far more profound impact on our population than forgiving student loans.

is now suspended with pay — her salary is $232,600 a year

For her outburst she’s been rewarded with not having to work & she’s still getting a six-figure paycheck. Must be nice.

Genuinely wonder if there’s some correlation in there. It’d be fascinating if global acceptance of homosexuality would eliminate fascist tendencies. I’d watch that movie.

Seems like they’re focusing on the body horror more than the previous installments with the close-up shots of facehuggers and that long-ass chest buster scene. Something tells me we won’t get much in terms of story or character development, but I guess we’ll see.

I think it’ll be a fun watch, but also looks to be just rehashing everything we’ve seen out of the franchise already.

That sounds awesome.

It’d be cool to get enough of 'em together to start a decent Lemmy community.
