Congratulations! Electric carver is fun to use. One thing, and only saying this if you're willing: Consider learning how to carve with a french knife, training with chicken. You get a lot juicier meat by carving against the grain. That said, I totally respect if you like sticking with the carver and not worrying about it.

I can speak to this (Canadian, we have Thanksgiving in October, i get high because parts of my family are hard right Conservatives): If I get stoned for dinner (after preparing dinner), I don't feel like shit when people rag on the food or bring up trash political takes. Being high makes me calmer.

Also I don't care if people know I'm high, so that helps.

If I do stay sober, I have to hear how minorities are ruining the country and be accused of poisoning people by not making a healthy meal... which makes me anxious.

It costs more, but those are indirect costs associated with marketing. Most executives only look at sales and expenses and don't think in indirect costs, regardless of how many business people try to explain. So the costs are marketing, we either cut the costs or we cut the budget, but not change what we are doing. Or they don't care, because of the above collusion mentioned in another comment, or because they want to spend on marketing for their golf buddy, the marketing CEO.

Does it drive me insane, as someone who has a marketing and accounting degree, and had to explain it a bunch of times? Yes. Also most high level executives make up a fantasy version of how the business is being run and feel anyone who doesn't agree is inherently wrong.

From what I could find, it's from Cthulhu: Death may Die, which lists the following artists: Nicolas Fructus, Karl Kopinski, Thierry Masson, Adrian Smith, Richard Wright. So one of them, I think.

I'm in Canada, and our Thanksgiving was a month ago. Given weed is legal here, I too avoided the truly deranged politics by flying to the moon. Good times. Also my turkey turned out amazing.

Looked up the director, and can't say I have seen anything beyond Cloverfield Paradox, which didn't wow me. So maybe hiring someone who didn't really do any work for 4 years didn't make an interesting movie? This whole project seems like someone hated Falcon and Winter Soldier and vowed to make it so terrible that no one will ever watch it again.

It seemed like an easy bunt of a movie: Make a 90s political thriller (like they did with Winter Soldier) and call it a day. Yet here we are, a lackluster release. Just scrap it for taxes.

Final Fantasy 6, because I have played through it on SNES, PS1, Rom, then SNES again.... oh, and there's 500 hours in Slay The Spire. Maybe also Civ 3.

Be safe out there. Not here, I've yet to see snow in Ontario, but I think Alberta's getting it hard.

It's close to the second ghost rider (and maybe the first, been awhile since I dug up my old comics) who didn't have powers until innocent blood was spilled (though typically it was the villain who spilled it).

That's an honest question. There was a recent F.D. signifier video on edgewood films and if satire works or not.

To save you an hour: While yes, satire is funny and informative for those of us on the left, and they show a great degree of well made art which you should enjoy, those who support what's being satired aren't impacted. Rather they ignore the overall message and cheer on the negative aspects being made fun off. Which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't amp up terrible aspects (violence against marginalized groups, for instance) and thus end up getting people hurt and/or killed.

I think they meant it because there is a watermelon in the background, which you don't see and then see a black woman and are shocked because it seems racist, but could have just been a mistake.

Even a pro-natalist like Morland, who describes himself as “unapologetically rightwing”, accepts that humanity must have a population limit. But he argues that its decline needs to be better managed and should be delayed until AI and robotics can replace labour.

So let me understand Morland's view here. He believes in right-wing, thus most likely is against government assistance for new families (I feel i may be taking a leap here, being Canadian and feeding my view of right wing here). However he doesn't want people to give up on having kids prior to AI and robotics being able to replace labour.

Both of these things are years off. Some AI skeptics feel AI is decades off being able to replace labour in a significant way. Tesla recently had robots that couldnt even handle being bartenders without people controlling them. Thus his answer is... to nag people to go through worse lives and have kids (due to the costs/time commitments, I'm not trying to Slag off having kids here, the joy you get is wonderful, I'm just pointing out the costs and sacrifices) until they fix the issues? I know they didn't write an answer attributed to him, but I really don't understand his position here. We seem to hit a point where I, personally, would be questioning my own rightwing beliefs.

Maybe The Clown Fairy? Or Total Catastrophic Failure? Totalitarian Crap Factory?

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Unless Petey gets caught being boring or balls deep in a hog, I doubt it'll move the needle. I hate to say that, there's a lot I'd hope would move the needle at all, but in my own family it's mask off, fuck "minorites", give me more, so... yeah.

As a fellow Canafian, I think we will have our own issues soon/currently, so I'm not going to have time for schadenfreude. Granted I live in Ontario and a folksy goon has been in power with no plans for so long that maybe I've lost my sense of humor.

They didn't learn French before moving to a French country? Just... wow.

Very good point, I didn't mean to conflate it happened in the last 100 years, more so the data of their deaths that I had access to had that timeliness.

Sweet, that's good to know. WWF needs to update their website. Too many chairs to the face I think.

Probably humans, given they went from 100k to 5.6k in population in 100 years and are still in decline.
