I have to say that, in spite of surely well earned the reputation furries have for being nice people, that is one of the weirdest suggestions I've ever heard.

Substitute furries for any other sexual endeavor.

Look up BDSM groups around you. No, you don’t have to be a dom/sub to go to one.

Look up gender transition groups around you. No, you don’t have to be trans to go to one.

YES, YOU FUCKING DO!

’ll remind you that all 3 Back to the Future movies originally were supposed to be one movie. Then they realized it was waaaaay too long, and chopped it up into 3 movies, and added some padding on the 3rd movie.

That's retroactive marketing bullshit. "It was always envisioned as a trilogy, which is why the first one is a standalone movie and the second and third are two halves of a movie" Once you notice this talk you see it everywhere. The Matrix, Pirates of the Caribbean… really any big hit that they cashed in on with two more sequels.

Just like Lucas' nine part saga BS, when really he hadn't thought past the end of A New Hope.

It sounds like what your friend is attracted to is attention.

Objective–C is a strict superset of C. Anything that’s valid C can be used in an Objective–C file.

I'm not sure what your point is. Union leaders are elected by union members to represent them as… a union. Of course press releases are written by the leaders. They're the leaders. That's part of the job. The fact that not everyone in the union agrees with the path the leaders have decided to take is neither surprising nor an invalidation of their leadership.

I started watching Scavengers Reign recently on a suggestion from a friend. I normally don't go for animated shows, but this one is really enjoyable for me. Calm & explorative.

Trump: Ok, how about Ukraine declares unconditional surrender and Zelensky is hung in Red Square.
Putin: No, not got good enough.

That was literally part of Chris Rock's skit:

I take care of my kids.
No shit _, you're supposed to take care of your kids!

Biden left the three people Trump wanted to pardon on the list so he could be the good guy for all the Nazis out there. It’s a Christmas gift in the spirit of bipartisanship

I've seen some witty remarks from him over the years. One of my favorites was when Republicans wanted to make it illegal to burn THE FLAG (gasp). Schumer was quoted something like: "I wish these people cared as much about what the symbol represents as much as the symbol itself."

Tom Cruise is looking rough.

There hasn't been a new Silo book since the third one came out, several years ago.

There have been a couple short stories. One written by Hugh Howey and another written by someone else.
