Because if you let women have authority, people might start believing things like "men are not automatically good without needing to actually do good things" and "authority isn't instantly derived from the circumstances of your birth but instead based on your merits as a leader".

Oh, same. I did a no-kill Neutral run, went back and got my True Pacifist ending and I'm satisfied.

Gonna finally play Deltarune Ch. 2 soon because I've also been putting that off for way too long.

I mean, I know why I haven't yet in spite of also having played the game since beta.

... It's because I'm lazy and hate grinding for materials.

True Pacifist Undertale just the other day. Which, to be fair, took me something like two years to get around to doing because I was way too lazy to deal with some of the ending fights of Neutral route.

Now I have the itch to go back and play EarthBound again... Which may be related to the lo-fi Mother 2 mix that got posted earlier today over in the Music community.

I'm still tickled hours later at how eager folks were to figure that out. :D

Depends on what catches his attention. But, if you're looking to stay Switch-only, the retro games that come with Switch Online may be worth the money for the subscription, even if you don't use the actual online components. That'll at least get you the classic Zeldas (which are generally manageable even for a youngin') and the old Marios, with the former being solid for discussing things like "where should we go next" and solving the puzzles of individual rooms.

Oh, yeah. I realize that there's a lot of nuance at play. It's just that I'm a historian who grew up in the Deep South, so I'm well aware that whatever other excuses and loopholes are used, it's ultimately all about trying to reinstate segregation by another name. Because it always is.

Roberts’ opinion brought a strongly worded dissent from conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, who accused the majority — including his colleague Brett M. Kavanaugh — of creating a “consciously segregated districting system” in the name of the Voting Rights Act.

I really want to know what he thinks the current system is if it's not that.

Exactly. Or even just a "They didn't nab me, so I must be important enough to protect" for the ones who are deep in the paint.

I'm sure there's at least gonna be a couple of eyes looking out for that because they are exactly the kind of people who'd show up to this expecting no one'll arrest them.

I am pleased for my role in performing science today. :D

You mean the same Luke Skywalker who threw his lightsaber away while confronting the most powerful men in the galaxy on board their planet-killing superweapon? And also tried to talk down the ruthless crime lord who had both his sister and her boyfriend as hostages? :P
