If I’m following the logic from the other guy, I think that it would be “Microsoft ecosystem”, not “XBox ecosystem”, since they’re removing the specific platform, and adding the company. Which I think works.

Fairly certain that it’s gonna be a CFO of like… A car company. Within the realm of sovcit stuff, I find this one to be rather coherent, but maybe I’ve just been reading these for too long. He’s basically saying: in order to pay the “John Doe” debt, grab the money from the super special secret money account of “JOHN DOE”, and do that every month until it’s paid off. Relatively normal stuff, except that he should probably be asking the credit department instead of the CFO, and also that the super secret money account never existed.

Ain’t nobody told you to hurt me like that… Right in the feels man…

Archangel mentioned once or twice in canon, probably a couple more times in the apocrypha

Maybe someone stole their plate, and they’re just waiting for a new one?

You say that like he wouldn’t have been dead pretty soon anyways. From a different point of view, he robbed the world of getting to execute him themselves. (Yes, bloodthirsty, but something they may have thought about at the time)

Couple things.

1. I don’t think that the whites-in-blacks worked as servants when there wasn’t an active target on premises. They just wanted to stay around (since they live there, and want to be around family), but needed a reason to be there. The other white-in-black was just a regular dude, right? Until he got flashed?
2. I don’t think they were racist in the sense of “black people are inferior”, but more “black people are exotic”. Post full-on-racism there has been a rising objectification of black people, in the vein of “once you go black, you never go back” that is dehumanizing of black people in a subtler way than southern belle racism.

We’d probably end up with a situation where wild deer don’t have the gene and city deer do, excepting any cross-breeding.

Ah, missed that. Yeah, I see where you’re coming from.

I feel a little bad for such a short response, but fair enough. Good points all around.

Sorry, American here. Did WW3 start and I missed it? Is it Ukraine/Russia? Israel/Palestine? Horrible though they are, they seem pretty contained this far, unless something new happened I haven’t seen anything about.

I think that only applies if you can make an argument that the two characters are distinct. Your Mickey/Steamboat Willie example is good because they are distinct (slightly different looks, and different names). Another good example is Sherlock Holmes. There was a big lawsuit where the current rights holders tried to argue that the later works are still under copyright just because Sherlock has emotions, and he didn’t in the earlier stories. I don’t remember how the suit turned out though.

The Milky Way is spinning. It’s spinning wrong based on the stuff we see. So, scientists think there must be stuff we can’t see making it spin that way. Some scientists have drawn a picture of what it would look like if we could see the stuff.

No, they mean literal magic. I started reading the book, and they’re talking about “Dark Magicians” on the first page.

It’s not the government doing it though. It’s the secret cabal of “Dark Magicians” who secretly control the government, using the secret, 100% literal, magic of words.

For a minute I mixed up Gary Bowser and Doug Bowser, and was left wondering what beef the president of Nintendo of America could have with Nintendo as a whole :P

I think you’re right, but also I think OP was more thinking mass shooters, or maybe serial killers.

Oh, shoot. House House were the people behind Untitled Goose Game? Suddenly I’m a little more interested in this, honestly

At some point Japanese video game titles just start to feel like the Asian equivalent of all those Chinese tattoos that white people get that just say something like “Hot Waterfall Oven”…

In Unix shell scripts 1 is false, so there’s that
