A rare instance of Daisy finally getting all of her energy out.

My Retroid Pocket Flip 2 arrives on Monday. Soon I'll have more consoles than ever before I can emulate but probably won't.

Shit, hadn't considered that either. Not a whole lot I can do about that either since it's based on my name.

Why yes, I was born in 1988 but luckily when I first started making usernames in middle school, I decided to use the random number 45 in them instead. Yup, good old 45, nothing awful or related to white supremacists associated with that number... Sigh.

What do you mean, humans still do the confused head tilt too.

I will also wait to see more before jumping on the hate wagon. I have a lot of faith in Akiva Schaffer's comedic sensibilities and directing skills.

Yeah, plus a 500 is the backend admitting it fucked up and not blaming the front end like a 4xx would be.

I'm not really a Dark Souls guy, so at first I thought this was about Hayao Miyazaki, cuz he likes big ladies too.

Definitely fuck the Sacklers, but I'm not sure I understand what the part about being FDA approved is supposed to mean. Is it saying that it's surprising that Oxy is FDA approved because it can and does kill so many people? I would argue that the reason it kills more people than heroine and cocaine combined is precisely because it's FDA approved and therefore easier to acquire, not because it's inherently less safe than other opioids. Or is the argument something else?

But see, that's one of the things the Kinsey scale doesn't really address. Is it really all that gay to be attracted to (as a man) someone that is presenting in a feminine way regardless of genitalia? I wouldn't say it is. I know femboys and trans women are obviously different, but with regards to this question, you pretty quickly get into transphobic territory if you go around implying that it's gay to like trans women or anyone else presenting feminine just because of genitalia. Or is the argument that since femboys identify as boys, that it's automatically gay to have sex with them by definition?

I think the insurance company part was invented by this comic but I didn't know a ton about Batman. I did see online that Wayne Medical is a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises and operates many of the hospitals in Gotham.

True, the hospital could be doing the bare minimum to keep him alive. But I get what the person you're relying to is saying. Surely if you're a capitalist ghoul who runs both a health insurance company and a hospital, you would want as little overlap between customers as possible in order to maximize profits, right? The people paying you insurance premiums would ideally never get sick and require the insurance to pay out, and the hospital would ideally be full of people with other insurance plans.
