An unacceptable view on Star Wars is that the droids are a metaphor for an enslaved lower class.

Oh the diegesis!

A newspaper gave every mayoral candidate the Voight-Kampf test back in 2003. Gavin Newsom won, he's currently the Lieutenant Governor of California and very clearly a replicant.

The best part of this article is that Newsom isn't even one of the replicants that are being hunted down for thinking for themselves, he's a Nexus 5.

Tangentially related, but Trump appointed the new embassador of Austria by virtue of being his friend and having seen Sound of Music 75 times.

quote:

“Really, I’ve seen it like 75 times,” the concert pianist/industrialist said.

“I know every single word and song by heart. And I've learned how to make myself and my apartment less lonely by shouting them all. 2 hours including wind down every morning”

I've only slightly altered the actual quote.

In general it's a mistake for vegetarian/vegan food to try and taste like meat. Just find the merits in the food you're working with and adjust accordingly rather than trying to replicate something that will always be just out of reach.

That's the failing of that game; the gameplay is mediocre and the only subversion comes from the story

Strong agree. Attempting meat substitutes is a losing effort, just enjoy food that isn't meat.

It is easy to argue that generic shootmanness of the game is part of the point, but that doesn't really excuse it.

1) The Sommelier sequence, especially when he requests that his suit's lining be "tactical"
2) John and Cassian's fight in Rome, especially when they go tumbling down so, so many stairs
3) John and Cassian passive-aggressively shooting silenced pistols at each other in New York while the crowd completely ignores it
Don't forget
4) The spectators of the the knife fight on the subway train
5) The scene transition centered around Laurence Fishburne's laughter

There were two things I didn't like about JW2 and one of them was Larry Fish's cameo because I'm not entirely sure it added a drat thing to the film except for a Sherlockian army of murderhobos. And while that's a combination of words I should be into, it fell flat.

Oh hey, we already have our first Trump cabinet member being forced to resign in disgrace. Is this some sort of record? It hasn't even been a month.

Edit: apparently it is by a lot with the previous record still being close to a year
