  • Ahhhhh, remember the good old says when you could have your favourite kill 'em all playlist playing AND play a game at the same time? Back when the xbox was primarily a gaming machine with a media player attached. I was so disappointed when the xbone came out and it had become a media/entertainment machine that you could possibly play games on, and that was the last xbox purchase I ever made.












  • Meanwhile the right owns the supreme court and a lot of lower court judges, so good luck with that prosecution. It will drag out for years and result in nothing.

    The lasting side effect is going to be the rest of the world continuing to think of the US as a joke and all the trade relations they are building now. When the US settles back down they will never again weild the power they once had.




  • There’s a great episode of The Crown that sums it up for me. Prince Phillip is overly excited to meet the astronauts from Apollo 11 during their royal visit and prepares a lot of deep and philosophical questions for them to discuss. However upon meeting them he is bitterly disappointed to find they are just normal humans that find fart jokes funny.

    Never meet your heroes means exactly this: you will come to realise the person you look up to and hold in high esteem is just another person with typical person problems, if not have other character traits you despise. They’ve done something you find admirable, that’s great! But leave the relationship there.
