How will kids be able to look up to Mike Tyson after this??

What? It’s totally normal to put your index and pinky finger on the outside of a mug handle. It’s not uncomfortable at all!

Talking about dignity when it’s a sport where adult men punching each other in the face for entertainment

I thought CoD was like 60-80gb??

Yeah it’s not flawless by any means but they have been receptive to fan “demands” and are being uncharacteristically transparent about it. Like making everything cross-faction is a huge project and they were upfront about the initial jankiness and the inevitable slow rollout. Right now the only things that haven’t been made cross-faction/realm are LFG/LFR and mail.

You can really feel that Kotick is gone and that the devs are actually excited to work on stuff. It’s very telling that so many old players who swore it off are back for TWW and loving it - including my friend who quit for FF14.

My only real gripes with the game are with the engine and I imagine they’re a lot harder to fix…but I would be smitten if shit like trees and awnings would stop blocking my camera in dungeons. And if ground effects didn’t clip into the terrain.

WoW jumped the shark 2-3 expansions ago but now that Kotick is gone, it’s been coming back. The devs are actually allowed to work on things they and the players want.

I was a hater but I actually love the current expansion and am looking forward to this. They stole skyriding from Guild Wars and we’ve been asking them to keep going - a ground mount upgrade to make it worthwhile over flying sounds awesome to me.

You’re right, no 13 year old autistic boy has ever made a serious threat! It’s always totally obvious if threatening words from a stranger should be taken seriously or not. Teachers are also always given the full background on every kid in their classroom without exceptions so they should have ignored protocol when hearing a kid say their backpack is going to blow up.

How could I forget that every single kid with malice in their heart fits the brooding edgelord mold from Columbine and that having autism totally precludes violent intentions?

Teachers DO NOT GET PAID ENOUGH for that. And even if they were paid fairly, their job isn’t to assess and handle bomb threats.

The teacher was 100% right to call the administrators. The administrators were 100% wrong to do anything more than gently educate him on his word choice.

I’ve got an idea as to why.

I went to mastodon.social and see a Linux meme, some heavy political commentary, and a bunch of posts about mastodon being better than Twitter.

I then went to bluesky.app and see some political riffing, cute animals, a comic, some jokes, a company, and even Don Lemon.

The average person checking them both out for the first time, mastodon is nerd shit and Bluesky is normal shit.

Me neither but it’s still worth complaining about.

You can’t trust a word that comes out of his mouth because it’s a crapshoot if he’s serious. But when the majority of the things he says are dangerous, you kind of have to take them all seriously.

Will he actually be a dictator and end democracy? Will he actually introduce insane tariffs that will fuck up our economy? Will he actually fire a bunch of generals? It’s bad news for the country if he follows through on even 1/10 of what he’s saying.

Maybe Trump shouldn’t “joke” about authoritarianism so nuch

That fight is in my top 10 gaming experiences for sure

Do not leave letters in the neighbors’ mailboxes informing them that a neo Nazi lives by them. Do not elaborate on his history of violent rhetoric. Do not do anything that would make him feel like an outcast in his neighborhood.

Do not print this information along with his name, address, and photo and give it to every store, restaurant, and fast food place in a 20 mile radius. Especially avoid letting the underpaid staff know about any of this. We DO NOT want him to receive poor service wherever he goes. It would be BAD if he was scared to leave the house. It would be EVEN WORSE if his GrubHub driver crushed or shook his meal. I would HATE to hear that his address got blacklisted for delivery.

Do not go to his house in Berwyn, IL. You will not be able to find it on Google maps because it’s the only house on the block that’s blurred out.

Absolutely do not go to his house at all hours of the day and night. Do not look out for cops when you dont go to his house. Do not legally knock on his door.

And most of all, DO NOT make him feel the same fear that his words have brought to so many women.

I am saying the admins acted poorly but the teacher was justifiably scared.

The teacher, who had only known Ty for one day, called a school administrator

Every generation thinks they invented the things they appropriated

Based on everything you said, you ARE an introvert. I never said you were antisocial - those are two different things. You are wrong about my perspective, you outright said you don’t date in your first post.

It seems like you totally missed my point, though. Women are not the monolith you’re pretending they are.

Sure but it wasn’t his autism that sparked fear

No, dad, I need to kill Raphael!
