I think it’s less about acting like it’s something anyone can do, and more about acting like it’s something people who aren’t ultrawealthy can do.

Having wealth isn’t inherently bad. It’s the distribution of wealth that has fucked our system.

Check this out for some context.

Oof. I’m sorry, that sucks. Now that I’ve neutered the LG it’s a great TV. Just sits there doing what it’s told, turning on and off with the receiver and never changing input.

I used to, until I learned more about it.

One of the things that finally made me realize how potent it is: pilots aren’t allowed to fly for at least 60 hours after taking anticholinergics like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or doxylamine (another first-gen antihistamine marketed as Unisom, and is also the thing in NyQuil that makes you drowsy).

Ah, gotcha. That sucks.

It’s about time. Been wanting this setting all along.

Maybe? It’s Microsoft, so not natively. But Proton is pretty awesome.

It had the one detail that matters to fans of the franchise: where it’s going to be set.

Finally. We’ve been asking for this one since Horizon 1.

He does get permission, because he doesn’t want to be a dick and also doesn’t want to have to go to court, but he technically doesn’t need it.

why would fan works not be under fair use as long as it's not for profit?

That’s something that fan-fiction authors cling to, but it’s not accurate. Even if it doesn’t make money it’s still infringement. It just means there’s nothing to go after, so IP owners tend to leave them alone.

Parody is one of the standard examples of fair use. Just ask Weird Al.

Really? I’ve never had an issue. Libby sends me directly to Amazon to “check out” the book, so I don’t have to upload it to the Kindle manually.

Don’t take Benadryl (diphenhydramine). Shit would never be approved for use if it were invented today. It fucks with your brain, messes with your reflexes, and is correlated strongly with dementia.

Second and third generation antihistamines work better and are non-drowsy.
