Yeah, it sounds like a problem with a contributor to Shutterstock not following the terms of use. The person who put together the marketing materials for Loki was just using stock images. I don't think it should be on them to enforce shutterstock's TOU.

Attacking civilians is also plain and simple terrorism

So we're in agreement that this is essentially two terrorist states fighting each other? And the biggest losers in all of this will be the innocent Israeli and Palestinian citizens who just want to live their lives in peace. Meanwhile Hamas and the Israeli state get to go back and forth playing the their sick game of race-to-the-bottom-of-the-morality-barrel trying to blow each other to smithereens.

Loved this book, but basically had to read every paragraph twice because I'm dumb as a rock and just didn't understand like 90% of what was going on the first time through.

It's Texas, so... Never? Can't let evidence get in the way of a good execution.

All of the pieces. On both sides of the board. Mentally it's much more taxing keeping track of which pieces are yours. We guys have it really easy with the whole black/white pieces.

Yeah, I liked the gorn episode, but it kinda came out of left field. I mean, it didn't help that in my head every time they would talk about the gorn in earlier episodes I would think of the dude in the green lizard suit, so I had this comical picture in my head of all these people being terrified of a guy in a silly outfit and was not mentally prepared for an alien remake...

I'm trying to reserve judgement until I see it, but the trailer did not do a great job of getting me excited to see this. It looked like it would be a made for tv movie that they'd stick on the Disney channel or something.

You'll have to fight me, Tim Eagames, for him! But not before we join forces to best Samantha Bethesda, our sworn nemesis.

And you don't even have to rewind the tapes

It's true you don't have to rewind the DVDs, but I always do just because I really appreciate everything the library provides to the community. Anything I can do to make the librarians jobs easier, you know?

The expanse is great! Highly recommend it, and the books are even better.

The cynical part of me wants to say that's by design. That reddit wants to get rid of good moderation tools so that it can allow more paid astroturfung to get more revenue.

I'm in the same boat with oblivion and Skyrim. Add Morrowind to that list as well. I love open world games but have a hard time finishing them because I get distracted by side quests and then distracted by life, stop playing for awhile, then when I pick it back up I forget where I left off, have a hard time remembering the mechanics, don't want to restart from scratch, and just move on to something else. Now I've been playing (and replaying) mostly linear fps games like all the old Jedi knight games, the halo games, and a few other games that are more "on rails" that I know I'll be able to finish.
