I was unaware of any alleged ties to Epstein on Pinker’s behalf. I cant gauge the veracity of those claims as all information I can obtain is through the media and we know how little that’s worth. Very disheartening if true. However, I’m not sure it has much bearing on this particular discussion. That being said I do also think that anyone with confirmed ties to someone as vile as Epstein should become a pariah at the least.

Same. It was bad when gaming consoles did it and I see no reason why corps wouldnt do it
I think that public discourse on subjects such as this is pretty important. I trust an academic with a record as sterling as Pinker to present his opinion and factual statements ina very professional and well-spoken manner, and you just never know who might be tuning in to something like that. For a lot of folks on the conservative side, something like this might be one of their only chances to hear from someone who isnt part of the conservative bubble. You never know
Smart tv’s are awful, doubly so since you cant get “dumb” tv’s anymore. I just dont give my tv wifi access and that seems to pretty much mitigate all the bullshit.
You’ll be (probably) fine crossing the horizon into a sufficiently large black hole as far as spaghettification goes. I dont know where we landed with the whole firewall thing though so that might get you either way

even if there are small examples of judeo-christian denominations being tolerant of LGBTQ+ communities, the VAST majority are not and do more than enough harm to cancel out any good being done.
wait wait wait…you can restore your foreskin??
For real though, it’s basically 45 minutes to say “yes she got fired”
I was wondering what they were holding, is it a vape then?
If you havent played the sequel I would recommend it. It definitely is not the same as the original but is still really solid and hopefully there will be further games
Still my favorite movie of all time
I actually recently ventured in to this genre because there was a post talking about Our Share of Night. I got the audiobook because I wanted to finish it in October but my reading plate was too full to do it any other way. The book was very well written and I can see why it’s such a hit, but unfortunately I don’t think I vibe with the genre well enough to appreciate it appropriately. Still, I’d recommend it to anyone who does like the genre
wake up and smell the nitrites
that sounds wonderful! Do you use it as a stock of sorts?
