Even calling Trump’s election fraud claims “unproven” is lending them far too much weight. “Unsupported” is probably the most charitable way to describe them.

She doesn’t even go here!

I know not everybody contemplates the messages found in their preferred media, but it’s hard to imagine someone who thinks like that finding anything to like about Star Trek.

It makes sense when you realize they take “women’s health” to mean literally one thing only: access to abortions.

To what end? He lives in New York, a solid blue state, and posted his endorsement on his LinkedIn account (heh) unprompted. If he secretly voted differently, a) it wouldn’t make any difference and b) he wouldn’t be using his influence to encourage people to vote against his secret fave.

I’m not saying this because I trust Bloomberg, I’m saying it because I literally can’t see any benefit to him lying about this. Are you suggesting some sort of 4D chess reverse psychology deal where he endorses Kamala so that people who dislike him will trigger his trap card by voting against his publicly supported candidate, which is secretly what he wanted all along?

The implication I got was that Agatha was giving Rio bodies in a sort of unspoken deal to keep Nicky alive–hence her coming and taking him when Nicky backed out. Going a step further, maybe Rio knew that Nicky was no longer going to go along with the plan after this one time that he refused, so he no longer served her needs.

The idea there would be that Agatha can’t face him because of the deal she made him an unwitting party to. Based on his nature and how Agatha described him, it seems like if he had known why they were out killing witches constantly (trading their entire lives for an extension of his own), he would not approve.

I take your point but I wouldn’t class nuns as the ideal opposing example to Nazis, either.

EDIT: And yes, I know I’m doing the thing.

Yoshi’s Woolly World probably still counts. It got a 3DS port, but it’s a game whose visual identity is a huge part of the appeal, most of which is lost when running at 240p. In terms of games that probably should be on Switch, I think the Zelda remakes and Yoshi are the last ones. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse and Nintendo Land would both be hurt by porting to a system with “normal” controls, to the extent that they probably won’t bother.

I feel like we’re agreeing but for some reason you’re mad about it.

Before the “Well they’re just fictional images, so what’s the harm?” brigade shows up (hopefully we left them on Reddit), he was using photographs of real children. People would send him photos of children they knew in their personal lives who they wanted to see in sexual abuse situations and he would create the images. He was also convicted of encouraging the men he was talking to to rape children in real life.
