- Speaking of Bungie, two questions for anyone who is colorblind and has played D2 recently. - the wrong element May 24, 15:01 7
  - I haven't played D2 since about 10 days after the new DLC dropped. Color blindness is an issue on Halo Infinity, though, as Kim will attest. -- nm - David May 24, 15:03 4
    - Were you one of the apparently many who hated Lightfall? - the wrong element May 24, 15:21 3
      - It’s fine but it didn’t grip me the way last year’s had. And yes, elemental shields are often a guessing game for me. -- nm - The Allfather May 24, 16:12 2
        
        If you hadn't seen, they changed the look of enemy shields. - the wrong element May 24, 16:21 1
        
        I haven’t played it since RE 4 Remake came out. -- nm - The Allfather May 24, 16:48
  - I keep meaning to ask if there are any (solo) campaigns in the recent DLCs for Destiny2? - JaxSean May 24, 15:03 1
    - I don't know what they have that is free, but there is stuff if you buy/bought Lightfall. - the wrong element May 24, 15:15
- what is this 1995? - hollywood big shot May 24, 14:58
- I kinda like that they're doing this. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 24, 14:53
- I really need to get a next gen console soon. - Jovian May 24, 14:44 3
  - You don’t neeeeed a Series X, but now that they are available, I wouldn’t bother with the Series S. Losing the DVD player mattered more after awhile. -- nm - Qale May 24, 14:55 2
    - I have the S (with an external drive that I had for the xbone). It suits my needs. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 14:58 1

    - Dumbing down public education means less competition for their kids, who go to Ivy League schools. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 14:57
    - Yes, public education will be horribly funded, and private and charter schools will only be able to teach whitewashed history and concepts. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 14:55
  - That's a big ticket item on the agenda, yes. In fact, for many, educational institutions are a path to power for the rest of the agenda. - Beryllium May 24, 14:47
- Pros: Clouds of human ash might have helped cool the planet, slowing climate change. - Beryllium May 24, 14:14
Taylor Swift is really trying to make her Midnights album relevant. Deluxe Edition with Lana Del Ray and Ice Spice coming out. -- nm - MDH May 24, 14:06 13
- Lana Del Ray was on the original version already. -- nm - Spawn May 24, 15:21
- I want the next album already because it should be chock full of breakup songs. -- nm - Tim May 24, 14:26 6

    - Her fans are up in arms about her new mans: Matty Healy -- nm - Pippy Quintas May 24, 14:33 3
      - He sat in with Phoebe Bridgers when she opened for Taylor. Felt a little bad for Phoebe that he got a bigger pop from the crowd than she did. -- nm* - znufrii 🦄 May 24, 15:08
      - whoa, really? huh - JaxSean May 24, 15:02
      - I wasn’t aware (though I guess I should’ve been) he’s edgelord-y and maybe problematic. -- nm - Tim May 24, 14:50
- so will sell 10 million copies rather than a paltry 8 million? -- nm - Beaker 🍻 May 24, 14:21 1
  - 72.5 mil streams so far. -- nm - Spawn May 24, 15:23
- They're making new Spice Girls? -- nm - Mop🧹 May 24, 14:06 2
  - She's a new rapper than blew up with two Top 5 hits (neither of which are good) -- nm - MDH May 24, 14:09 1
    - So... yes? -- nm - Mop🧹 May 24, 14:52

A blog post (not mine) about the Canadian perspective on what's going on down south -- (link*) - Beryllium May 24, 13:53 2
- I can’t say I disagree with any of that. It is super hard not to engage. Especially as the attacks get more personal. -- nm - Qale May 24, 13:57 1
  - Never underestimate the power of mockery. It saps away all their power. That's why Trump can't stand SNL or late night shows. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 14:59

- Once again, they complain about wokeness and cancel culture and then do exactly the same thing (although they often also weaponize the law to do it) - pmb May 24, 13:55 2
  - It is perfectly fine to complain, boycott, picket, cancel. But they bring violence and legislative action to destroy, instead of to build. -- nm - Qale May 24, 14:01 1
    - also, companies like Target or the Dodgers are under no obligation to believe them when they pretend to be big mad about any of this stuff (spoiler) - hollywood big shot May 24, 14:04
- Conversely, the only thing these bigots understand is weakness. They see it in others, they feel it in themselves. It fuels them. - Beryllium May 24, 13:45 1
  - I am not taking off my Pride necklace. I will continue to stand up for the Ts. -- nm - Qale May 24, 13:48

More threats of GOP violence, this time in Illinois. -- (link) - TWuG May 24, 13:29 8
- The lack of understanding of what they are doing is always amazing to me. I have a trans male cousin. He looks like a pudgy balding middle aged man. - pmb May 24, 13:57 5
  - I have had several transmale students (interestingly, very few transfemale ones). They overwhelmingly project "male" energy, and not "butch female" - Reagen May 24, 14:48 1
    - interesting -- nm - mud May 24, 15:49
  - I know, my dude has a trans male brother-in-law who's just a short genial guy with a goatee. But it's not about the ones who can "pass," is it? -- nm - mara 🍂 May 24, 14:29
