I think Colbert also kept paying his full staff when in covid lockdown even when he was filming it from his bathtub and then his shed or something.

And then there’s also the whole freedom of speech, journalistic freedom thing.

Instructions unclear, ate burgers for 10 years and gained 30kg.

Not the basket D:

saying it is against tradition

The fuck? She doesn’t know anything about Japanese traditions, does she?

Depends if we’re spinning this as “you should never attack a black Jewish trans catgirl, even if that person is Hitler” or “Hitler exists therefore I’ll attack anyone who shares a trait I identify with Hitler.”

This headline can be misinterpreted in many ways, first of all being what is the exact question they asked, as with any poll.

99.9% of anime is slice of life in real Japan with mostly real or real-ish names, what are you talking about

Define unwell. He and she are not talking about the same thing, he’s not agreeing with her, he’s muddying the water on what anyone is talking about.

Like “he’s committing genocide, he’s crazy” “but what about cinnamon rolls, that’s crazy too” is not him agreeing, it’s him changing the subject.

Not for the canary cry emoji

No, he’s changing the meaning of “unwell” by comparing what she says about Trump to what Republicans say about Democrats. Which is not that they are actually too old and sick to govern. Well, they do say that and a lot more, but that’s not the implication he’s making here. He’s downplaying how “unwell” Trump is. Because “unwell” is a fucking understatement, and this is him just pushing it further under.

Unfortunately, reporters also couldn’t find a single general who cares that it’s allowed to disobey an unlawful order and that they can overthrow a domestic terrorist.

“Doing things for attention” means attention for yourself. This is for the benefit of something that is not herself. Understand the difference when you say she’s doing it for attention, she is not. “She’s doing it for attention” and “She’s bringing attention to a good cause” are very different sentences.

That country is providing them with air defense missiles, so… (yes, it’s a shit situation)

I think the writers pretty much admitted they had no plan for Trinity, seeing how their goal completely changed from immortality to apocalypse between Rise and Shadow. They were just the reason for Lara to track them across the world and stumble on ancient stuff.

I’m looking up the opening scene for Rise of the Tomb Raider and I can’t find the therapy session itself. Maybe it was only in the trailer and they cut it from the game, I remember people thought it was weird when they released that trailer because it was unexpected at the time that this was the direction they were taking? But the game does have you find tapes of Lara’s recorded sessions talking with the therapist, like how she’s having control issues and it turns out she has become a different person in a bad way.

The third game of the reboot trilogy starts with her tracking this evil organization that’s been screwing with her family, finding the item they’re trying to steal to trigger an appocalypse, stealing it first, and almost triggering that same apocalypse because she doesn’t know what she’s doing, thinking she’s doing good. Second game also started with her tracking the same organization to figure out what they’re doing, and from that, she stumbles into some archaeology. It’s a long character arc, she was looking for unrelated answers, but she learns that she can be good at figuring out ancient stuff, and she finds out the hard way that she can also fuck up badly when she doesn’t know what she’s doing. It’s supposed to end at the point where she’s mature enough to do better. We just see all the “fucking up” parts.

The second game of the reboot trilogy starts with Lara in therapy session about how she became a thrill addict from her survivor’s guilt from the first game and how she’s liking it.

That was very clearly on purpose, she starts panicking about the first guys she kills to survive (and there’s a very obvious rape vibe when she gets ganged up on), and near the end she’s screaming I’m gonna kill you all. That is the narrative arc. Welcome to trauma stories?

Have you not seen those movies that end up saying “if we kill the big bad, we’re no better than them” after mowing down countless faceless mobs

The Greek trolley was not a car either. We came up with a big idea, we made something very limited and pretended that it was that idea, and we’ve only added a coat of paint since, is the analogy I prefer to make.
