Dune I can give a pass to because Frank Herbert originally wrote it as a trilogy and combined it into one book. It has pretty clear chunks breaking it up. They absolutely should have been better about advertising what it was, but it's hard to cover all that content succinctly

Wicked however is based off a 2 hour and 45 minute Broadway show with a 15 minute intermission. There is no good reason that a movie that can have tighter transistons, faster costume changes, and no reused cast should be longer than the Broadway show. Let alone twice as long and spread over multiple films

That sentence does not inspire hope

In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote.

You have far more hope than I do. Republicans are dogs chasing cars, they know what they want, they just don't know what happens after. They want a permanent Christo-fascist government and we just handed them all the power to make it happen. People keep saying "there's rules about this, there's procedures, we have safeguards" as if that impeded him at all in his first term. The only hope I have is that they're too stupid and incompetent to pull it off

It's cute that the Democrats think they're going to be allowed to run in 2028 or that there will be an election at all

Nice. I had to work late so I couldn't go play magic the gathering. Now imy watching anime for the rest of the night

You couldn't make You've Got Mail today. Dating someone over email without sending pictures would be so weird that it would detract from the whole story

It turns out in America it's surprisingly easy to get away with pepper spraying people. There's a weird YouTube rabbit hole of "free speech auditors" who go around doing things they're legally allowed to do but are shitty to get reactions. They escalate things until they pepper spray the person they're aggravating. Even in their own videos cops show up and basically just shrug. I think the logic is that since it doesn't cause any long term damage that a lawyer can pretty easily argue it was a "reasonable force"

Short answer: I'd be surprised if he suffers any consequences from this

I've been doing this game for a few months now. Today was a pretty easy day. There have been a few where there were double vampires or a dragon guarding the last room in such a way that you can't kite them around that I couldn't figure out how to beat. However I think like most of these daily games, it is built for you to usually succeed

Let me gradually increase the resistance on it each day until I can go Super Saiyan

I imagine Epic cares less about what the ESRB thinks and more about what the CCP thinks, seeing as Tencent has a major stake in Epic. China is generally anti-death in games

Epic's official language for the game never features death. Characters are eliminated, you can meet the god of the underworld, but no character ever actually dies. Apparently the ESRB says it's ok
