@mykola I look forward to picking the game up when the "discovery mode" is out.
@sophia Meme wikis are the worst. Best case scenario, they're totally impenetrable to outsiders. Worst case scenario, they're Encyclopedia Dramatica.

@zigg So Pip is literally just Bundler now?
I mean, I'm not complaining, I always thought Bundler was pretty nifty. But I'm just saying.

- "Governments are bad for capitalism"
- "Dude governments are VITAL for capitalism. Who's gonna enforce the artificial scarcity you need to thrive?"
- "Hey that's not capitalism, that's cronyism, we never had TRUE capitalism"
- "So you're telling me capitalism only works on paper?"
- "..." *clueless silence follows*
(Inspired by a true story)
Pretty cool how Tommy Wiseau gets to be a genuine celebrity now *literally* on the sole basis of being a mediocre white man.

News and politics in 2017 feels like that BSG episode where the Cylons attack every 33 minutes
This article on the SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS that sex/gender is not actually determined by X/Y chromosomes in a simplistic way should be required reading. https://www.newstatesman.com/future-proof/2015/02/sex-isn-t-chromosomes-story-century-misconceptions-about-x-y
@caraellison (I think that joke was from the new season of Lady Dynamite, but I'm not totally sure.)
@caraellison I wish I could remember what show this was, but something I watched recently had an excellent gag where a character is telling her American friend about her favourite British sitcom:
"It's fantastic! It's about a working class girl and a posh girl who live together in the same flat. It's been running since the 60s. There are almost 20 episodes!"
I knew that Conrad Veidt, who plays Major Strasser in Casablanca, was a refugee who fled Nazi Germany.
I did not know that he deliberately self-identified as Jewish on some "racial questionnaire" Goebbels sent out, despite not being Jewish, as a "fuck you" to the Nazis.
Let's face it. You can't expect me to have any respect for people who use "triggered" to mean "upset", or "REEEEE" in pretty much any context.

Or maybe LOTRO's account system is just fucked for everyone right now, IDK.
Woke up this morning to find that my LOTRO account password had changed and the password reset emails were going to... someone not me. So that's fun.
