It’s not a very solid point. They said they may become necessary at some point, but right now they’re irresponsible.

They’re not ruling it out in the future, but their focus is on today’s problem.

I mean, yeah. They’re the only ones trying to hold out some reasonable constraints.

But why when they’re clearly doing what they want anyway.

More likely they just got hit.

And again, with the revelations is quite tame. There’s that whole Lake Michigan thing.

People still play this one. http://mud.arctic.org/

Though I didn’t mean it has to necessarily be text-based. More that that ancestral path was more interesting than the WoW one. This is what EverQuest was born from.

One of the bigger differences is that not everything was questing. You just explored, and part of your motivation to level up was the ability to explore places that were previously inaccessible.

Here’s a free one for you.

Discard pretty much anything learned from or after World of Warcraft. That game warped the genre for decades, largely for the worse.

Go back to MUDs. Iterate from there.

It’s not that it’s a new concept. It’s that boys definitely are referred to as “males”. In years past it was probably more common than hearing “females”, though recent trends (incels) have likely changed that. It’s a nitpick that stuck out to me also, but it’s a small point from a more important larger point being made by a 15 year old. Maybe someone should have caught that in editing, but it shouldn’t be a big deal. And we can afford to give the kid that much leeway.

Sure, that’s off.

She’s 15. Take the value out of the article.

You really saved us all with your… not voting?

World News?

What’s the real purpose here? It’s not drugs.

Subservience to the FCC and the administration is the excuse. The real reason is that David Ellison is afraid the dem might win.

The majority owner of CBS is Paramount Global, which itself is controlled by Skydance Media, a company led by David Ellison (son of Larry Ellison), following a significant acquisition of the Redstone family’s stake in mid-2025.

Either that or it’s exactly what it says on the tin. I wonder which is more likely.

Thank you. I was just thinking that someone needs to grab this, and it was going to be a pita if I had to be the one to do it.

(More copies are always welcome.)

And it’s a hell of a brave thing Colbert and crew are doing in speaking out.

They’re patriots at a time when speech isn’t free.

Complicit

They use PLA in several tea bags and coffee filters now.

… of course I research and avoid those. I’m not super paranoid about plastic, but boiling it and drinking it seems insane.

People didn’t like Rule 1 being enforced.

They’re both completely lawful residents. They’ve literally done nothing wrong and should have never been detained.

It can’t be more clear that he’s trying to normalize this. His message is that we shouldn’t do anything and just let happen because we didn’t do anything before this.

But really he’s just desperate that we don’t fight back. He wants Russia and China to win through Trump decimating the US.
