If I’m following the logic from the other guy, I think that it would be “Microsoft ecosystem”, not “XBox ecosystem”, since they’re removing the specific platform, and adding the company. Which I think works.

Narrator: She did, in fact, take no for an answer.

Have you checked the authors? Maybe it’s just one, really exhausted, parent who’s super done with the whole thing :P

Ah. Account I read must have been a simplified version, probably for kids. Or I just forgot. Pretty sure I got it from D’Aulaire’s Book of Greek Myths

I thought he was autosexual/romantic, if anything. This is the “stare into the water admiring his own face until he dies” guy, right?

Fairly certain that it’s gonna be a CFO of like… A car company. Within the realm of sovcit stuff, I find this one to be rather coherent, but maybe I’ve just been reading these for too long. He’s basically saying: in order to pay the “John Doe” debt, grab the money from the super special secret money account of “JOHN DOE”, and do that every month until it’s paid off. Relatively normal stuff, except that he should probably be asking the credit department instead of the CFO, and also that the super secret money account never existed.

While I do agree with what you’re saying, and it’s a way of reading it I hadn’t considered, I don’t think the distinction is clear from the meme. Then again, it’s just a meme, so my expectations can probably stand to be lowered a bit.

This might be heresy, but I feel like saying that “science isn’t truth, it’s the search for truth”, and “if you disagree it’s not a disagreement, you’re just wrong” is internally inconsistent.

Ain’t nobody told you to hurt me like that… Right in the feels man…

Archangel mentioned once or twice in canon, probably a couple more times in the apocrypha

It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).

Things that lay the groundwork for future things are often surpassed by what they inspire (shrug)

Just watched it last week for the first time actually. Pretty good overall 👍

Depends on the bear for me. Black bear? I’ll take that over a man any day (am a man). Polar bear? Yeah, no. I don’t want to be within 1000 miles of a polar bear. Grizzley? Haven’t decided, probably leaning towards wanting the bear, unless it actively hates me for some reason

To all the people downvoting: “Law of Attraction” is not a lay person’s way of saying “Law of Gravity”.

It’s the belief online that “if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff” (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)

OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, for mining, by doing what the meme says (I don’t know what “fossilized algae” refers to, but it makes the nitro not go boom, when it really wants to boom). After seeing what it was eventually used for (bombs. Lots and lots of bombs) he regretted ever making it. He set up the Nobel Peace Prize as a result, to try and even the scales a bit, so to speak

I don’t know anything about Archer (what was his destiny thing?), but I like what they’ve done with Pike. His knowing how he’s going to die (more or less) doesn’t change his competency as a captain, imo, just gives him some pretty good personal issues to grapple with, in a pretty Trekkie way.

Maybe someone stole their plate, and they’re just waiting for a new one?
