- Or this is how the cruise li e gets busted for human trafficking. - the wrong element Jun 13, 12:15
- Someone probably faked a vaccination card, but it could be that a kid got it. - the wrong element Jun 13, 12:14
- If they remain asymptomatic, could be vaccinated people with breakthrough no-symptom case. If no proof was required though? Probably someone lied. - ty97 Jun 13, 12:09 1
  - Proof was required, and testing was done before boarding. - David Jun 13, 12:21
- Someone lied. -- nm - Remlik Jun 13, 12:01
- the passengers in question lied/falsified their vaccinations -- nm - prayformojo Jun 13, 11:58
- That people may have not been actually fully vaccinated in that they hadn’t waited long enough from their vaccinations. Or they are breakthrough cases - Qale Jun 13, 11:52 2
  - Right. Eventually it will not be significant that someone has COVID. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 11:58 1
    - Wait… could you just say that first word once more? I feel… I feel it’s been so long since I’ve heard it in association with… you know… me. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 12:00
- Vaccines work - although not necessarily in the way people think they work. - Beryllium Jun 13, 11:51
- F*cking Florida, probably. -- nm - znufrii Jun 13, 11:50
- Test results were faked? They were exposed after boarding during an excursion? -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Jun 13, 11:50
- First, lies. Second, we are all fucked, the virus appears out of thin air. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 13, 11:49

Heh. Lockdown states fared better economically than covid-party states. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 13, 11:33 1
- Blue states generally outperform red states anyway, so no surprise there. -- nm - TWuG Jun 13, 11:36
I didn’t get release dates. But here are the titles and genres of the XBOX Presentation. - Qale Jun 13, 11:24 16
- Outer Worlds 2 looks fun -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Jun 13, 11:38 10
  - Outer Worlds was fun, if not the salvation that Fallout 76 haters were looking for. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 11:49
  - For the big announcements: call me when you have more that cinematics. I watch animation when I want cinematics. - Marlowe Jun 13, 11:42 8
    - I'm tired of hearing about games 18+ months away. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Jun 13, 11:47 7
      - Yep. That's why it was so refreshing when Sega / RGG announced last month that Judgment 2 was being released in September. - Marlowe Jun 13, 11:51
      - The sun will come out... -- nm - Spawn Jun 13, 11:50 4
        
        I mean, if Starfield is Nov 2022... ES6 is... 2024? -- nm* - Strongbad, Champ Champ Jun 13, 11:51 3
        
        If you really want some Elder Scrolls there is ESO with enough content to keep someone busy for years. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 11:53 2
        
        I've tried the free version. Fun for a few months but not enough to get me to pay for the expansions. I also have no interest in PVP. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Jun 13, 11:55 1
        
        I understand. I’ve only done a little PVP when it was part of an event. I’ll eventually have to get around to Cyrodiil to pick up the achievements… - Qale Jun 13, 11:59
      - Tuesday you’ll get to hear about Breath of the Wild 2… which is probably also next year! -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 11:50
- The worst game presented was Diablo 2: Resurrected by a long shot. I’m most curious of Plague Tale. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 11:35
- The one game that made me with I still had an Xbox was FH5. - Marlowe Jun 13, 11:31 3
  - I was just going by what I thought I saw in the trailer. It reminded me of Final Fight. I’d like to be more specific than just RPG. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 11:34 1
    - It's a JRPG. The rest of the series are all brawlers for sure. And a good one at that. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 13, 11:41
  - You and Max both! -- nm - David Jun 13, 11:31
Has anyone considered that maybe trump didn't survive covid, was replaced with a clone or impostor, and that's why his blog failed? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 11:15 7
- Anyone who has ever tried keeping a blog, journal, or even a newsletter knows it’s hard to maintain it. And that’s even if you’re well liked. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 11:25 3
  - It is the fundamental state of a blog to be decrepit. The inherent joy of the blog is the sporadic apologies for lack of updates. - Beryllium Jun 13, 11:34 2
    - Is that like the only reason for a vlog’s existence is to repeatedly have apology videos? -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 11:36 1
      - It is like their basal state, yes -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 11:38

- Body Snatcher -- nm - budice Jun 13, 11:17
I watched a guy on a Facebook group complain about mask policies. His argument was that it was a federal law, but he didn't remember voting for that. - David Jun 13, 11:15 2
- "No one asked me!" "That's because you have a republican form of government. Ironically you are asking for a direct democracy in the - Reagen Jun 13, 11:32 1
  - And he would probably like that less assuming that it didn't utilize the Electoral College. -- nm - Dano Jun 13, 11:44
Forza Mexico! -- (link*) - Max Max si Jun 13, 11:11 1
- Si! -- nm - Max Jun 13, 17:46
I have questions. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 13, 11:01 2
- "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THE RICE" -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 11:22 1

Today I’m reminded that North Macedonia is a country. -- nm - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 13, 10:44 4

  - Same as southern Colorado and the Four Corners area in general. -- nm - Meg Jun 13, 10:45
I liked Better Off Dead's quirky take on the teen comedy. However, I got a little skeed out any time Dan Schneider was on screen - prayformojo Jun 13, 10:21 2
- That’s fair; he’s gross. - Dark Callisto Jun 13, 10:37
- You need to complete the Savage-verse with One Crazy Summer and How I Got Into College. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 10:22
Somebody please remind me on Wednesday morning to get my car out of the garage before I lose power. - Meg Jun 13, 09:38 3

Remember the Titans high school graduates its final class under its segregationist name - prayformojo Jun 13, 09:19

BoxOffice: In the Heights $11.4M Weekend -- (edited) - budice Jun 13, 08:32 14
- Wow, I didn't expect it to break 9. -- nm* - Spawn Jun 13, 10:14 1
  - Edit this before Kim makes you write another article. -- nm - David Jun 13, 10:56
- 143 min. coulda been 123 min. with judicious edit. That might have got an A+ from me rather than an A. There, I said it. -- nm - mud Jun 13, 09:32 5
  - I was thinking more B- and that's being generous. -- nm - LMS Jun 13, 09:42 4
    - yikes -- nm - mud Jun 13, 09:43 3
      - For a film that length I needed a plot rather than just a premise. Found none of the songs memorable. Only one lead was a decent dancer. - LMS Jun 13, 09:59 2
        
        Same problem with the music in Mary Poppins Returns then. Varies wildly from nostalgic to trying way too hard to show off the LMM. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 11:28
        
        The director should have the music stuff well in hand by this point in his career but I think he's picking up a reputation for food scenes 😋 - JD Jun 13, 10:57
- HBO Max will get the blame for this. Period. -- nm - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 13, 09:24
- I'm flabbergasted and horrified by that low amount. -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 08:39 4
  - Isn't it Bollywood-like? The only thing I know about it is the Hamilton connection. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 08:55 2
    - It's a musical with dance scenes but it's a LMM musical and a rather well known one at that so I'm sure there were high expectations. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 09:26 1
      - doesn't have near the cultural zeitgeist that Hamilton does. That being said, this may have some legs as wom is strong. -- nm - Remlik Jun 13, 09:39
  - Yep.. -- nm - Marlowe Jun 13, 08:50
I've got a two day head-start on you, which is more than I need. I've got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan. - prayformojo Jun 13, 08:19
In the Heights, A+. Hard to think of how they could have done it any better. -- nm - znufrii Jun 13, 08:17
UCSD student honors parents with graduation pictures in farm fields -- (link) - budice Jun 13, 08:16 1

Education isn't a topic I know much about but this seems....bad -- (link) - ty97 Jun 13, 07:41 9
- A lot to unpack here. - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 13, 09:31 1
  - One of the biggest things that has been missed for kids in this *large hand motion* has been socialization and a sense of community. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 10:15
- By all means, let's come up with more ways to drive teachers away from the industry. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 08:10 2
  - Who wouldn’t want to be in charge of 300-400 kindergartners? -- nm - znufrii Jun 13, 08:13 1
    - They're all doing it for the money anyway. None of them care about actually... teaching, ya know. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 08:15
- *smh* -- nm - znufrii Jun 13, 08:03
- Yeah it’s a horrific idea. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 13, 07:55
- My finger twitched and double tapped in posting this, apparently it's a repost? -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 07:41 1
  - Yep, B3 -- (link) - Meg Jun 13, 07:59 [Backboard]

- Resterawnt -- nm - TWuG Jun 13, 09:08
- Kinda the first one. Just not as pronounced in the middle. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 13, 07:30
- The correct way -- (edited) - ty97 Jun 13, 06:49
