I assume it’s referencing the controversy of Colin Kaepernick kneeling instead of standing for the US national anthem.

O.G. San is such a good name.

Ah so he’s just a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.

Ah yes, the movie where they cast a French person as Scottish, a Scottish person as Spanish, and an American as a Russian.

I think it’s that category of essential employees who are working without pay that this would be most intended for.

C’mon Ottawa, force them to rehabilitate and release them, even if it kills the park.

A lot of animals cannot be rehabilitated and released. If they were born and raised in captivity, they have effectively no chance of survival on their own. I don’t know what the situation is for these animals, but I’ve been to plenty of zoos and aquariums in the past that have rehabilitation programs and even they have a few “lifers” who will never leave.

Almost all of the Links between different games are different characters, but they were all still left handed until the Wii era. That includes Wind Waker Link, Twilight Princess (GC) Link, Oracle Link, and even NES OG Link who are all distinct from OoT.

BotW Link is right handed either because they forgot he was originally left handed before the Wii era, or because it was a deliberate choice to break convention from older games (like also having BotW link wear blue instead of green).

I wouldn’t be surprised by either possibility, just given that BotW deliberately had relatively few series veterans working on it.

Weird that they never bothered to swap him back to left handed for the Switch games, though.

Isometric Link (Link’s Awakening remake) remains left handed at least, but Switch era 3D Link is right handed.

I’ll just chalk that up to the Switch games wanting to switch (heh) it up a bit, with his primary color association also switching from green to blue. Maybe if they decide to make an older style 3D Zelda again, they’ll go back to left handed Link.

This is what I do, along with a few other devices I’ve owned. Sometimes I’ve been able to give perfectly decent devices away to friends/coworkers/family who had a sudden problem with theirs and have a hard time affording a new one.

But unlike the old video game consoles that I do the same thing with, I am always a bit worried about long-term storage of devices that use lithium ion batteries. I know failure rates are rare but I’ve heard the horror stories and I know the risk increases each time I take another device and put them back in a box up on the shelf.

Hopefully some day, people will look back and laugh at us using lithium ion batteries like we laugh at lead paint, nitrate film, and asbestos.

I know they’re sisters, but it is interesting just how much they look like Elizabeth Olsen now. I keep mentally separating them because the Olsen twins were child stars who have been out of the spotlight for a long time, while Elizabeth’s career didn’t really take off until she was an adult.

I will say I don’t like the direction imgur went, but to play devil’s advocate, I don’t think there was any way around it.

The problem is that being an image host used by millions of users is incredibly expensive, and between needing to pay for the infrastructure, content moderators, and (in this case) regulatory compliance, it all adds up.

The only income model they have is ads, which is why they needed to re-tool the UI to hinder users’ ability to direct share images, and converting it to a more social media type of format keeps users on the site so they can cycle in more ads for more revenue.

An ideal internet would not need to rely on ad money to work, but I’m struggling to think of what else could be done at the scale imgur operates, as donation models can barely even keep Lemmy instances above water. If ad money wasn’t a thing, would sites like imgur be able to exist? Maybe they shouldn’t, I don’t know.

New England? There’s an entire Pennsylvania and New York between Ohio and New England.

Don’t forget that Crunchyroll is also owned by Sony, who have basically picked up a monopoly on anime streaming services by buying out all of the competition. Aniplex, Funimation, Crunchyroll, Kadokawa, all under the Sony umbrella.

For this one, I think it’s nothing quite as exciting, basically just what you’d expect.

S30.852A - Superficial foreign body of penis, initial encounter

Don’t worry, the games industry has you covered on that now. They just release games that are broken or half-finished without the day 1 patch, but then allowing it to update removes all of the licensed content.

Hard to tell with chicken. I could imagine biting into that and it still being juicy.

I liked him in Super with Rainn Wilson. It wasn’t a perfect movie but I thought his performance was fine and it was a fitting movie to anticipate the Marvel saturation in the coming years (which director James Gunn would eventually actively participate in).

I also thought he was fine in Inception. Not the standout performance of the movie but I didn’t walk out thinking “ugh, Elliot Page really gunked that up” or anything, and he apparently worked well enough with Christopher Nolan to get brought back in for The Odyssey.

What’s wrong with Elliot Page’s acting? I thought he was fine in previous works I’ve seen him in. Maybe not Oscar-winning but I’ve seen plenty worse.

That’s how I read the intent of the author, at least. Getting scientists out of their isolated bubbles and allowing them to actually experience the world drives innovation.

That, or the one physicist who figured it out was so traumatized by merely being outside that she figured it out as quickly as possible to make it all stop, haha.

Fair, I guess I’m just letting the world get to me!
