Obviously they'll be playing Space Station 14 which could use more players and servers.

I think it would've been fairly easy for readers at the time to say "the monster's a murderer, that's the story." It's easy for others to say the monster's a victim and not responsible for his actions. We see the two points of view throughout this comments. The comparison to an incel is almost silly, though. "Man decides women are The Problem and becomes dangerous" is different from "Man is abandoned and feared by his only parent at birth, he has the impulse control of a small child (recall he was literally just born) and he has the body of a very large adult man." He even does try to be good, but is angered by people dehumanizing him for his appearance. (Dehumanizing people based on things they have no control over: sound familiar?) But then there's the important bit: this does not absolve his crimes! He is, in fact, a murderer. But the people who hated him also bear responsibility. Most of all his parent who did no rearing, teaching, or literally anything but screaming and running bears responsibility. Is he a killer? Yes! Is he a victim? Yes! Is Victor responsible for everything? Also, yes! The people who rejected him responsible? Less so, but yes!

I could be remembering wrongly, but wasn't the creature described as being uncannily attractive? Like maybe not conventionally so, but in some indescribable and uncomfortable way?

cost millions of taxpayer dollars in wrongful death and civil rights lawsuits

Good to see our priorities are straight. Yeah, some lives were lost, BUT THE MONEY!

One time I needed to move from a daily pill to an injection for one of my meds, but by the time we got the prescription and emergency appointment, the pharmacy either had just closed or was about to. Mind you, I was inches from a crisis, like, I was honestly thinking if I couldn't get on the mend that night I was going to need a hospital. Then insurance decided they didn't want to pay for it. Thankfully the doctors were willing to give me a free sample, so I was able to get the injection that evening. It was a rough night, but I was getting better. Also insurance ultimately did start paying, but not until I had used all the free samples they were allowed to give me.

So you'll invite the underrepresented, marginalized folks and share a loving community free from private property; everyone sharing everything freely? Of course we'd like them all to believe in Jesus, but we won't hate them if they don't or try to shove it on them either.

We are this close to entombing our presidents in a golden throne and worshipping them for millenia.

Looking at the lighter squares, I really enjoyed libstick.

I have a vague memory of a spaceship. Maybe i was firing a laser? I remember it being hard at first, but I Got Gud, and as an adult people are impressed with my typing speed.

Maybe in metro areas, but the small town I live in has a game shop that has/had LGBT+ safe space and mask required signs, and apparently people have come in brandishing guns demanding they take them down. Evidently no one ever got hurt, but the vitriol is definitely there. They probably supported Hillary as I bet they're a bunch of libs, but I guess they didn't advertise that.

I agree wholeheartedly. Another fave is calling people one disagrees with "psychotic." But yeah, it is important not to be ableist while criticizing things.
