I'm glad whenever they bring up research. Books, newspapers, radio broadcasts, movies, TV shows... these get preserved over decades or centuries and are so significant in historical research, yet video games somehow can't be?

Although to be fair we've lost plenty of other media over the centuries. Find me the missing episodes of early Doctor Who that the BBC deleted, for instance. It'd be good if video games can get ahead of that with good preservation methods but it wouldn't be exceptional if a good chunk doesn't make it past 50 years.

Right, this is the kind of Brexit I can get behind.

I don't care; I heard the orange man is to give out the trophy and man it'd be great if Mexico won.

While it's indeed fake, the satire was fun. It notes that whenever you see a Let's Go Brandon bumper sticker, it's in regards to this very famous gay porn star. Same with the chants. Those guys were just big fans of gay porn, y'know.

I still have DDR2s somewhere... pray we do not need it.

Hey, they were in a rush. Your situations are different.

Clearly edited! We all know she used smelling salts on him.

Same. We're just projecting into the headline. I'm quite ambivalent today.

I appreciate the 23% willing to just admit they don't know, and the 8% are kind of close. That 3% who things pilgrims are why can fuck off, though.

I mean, my mom found a Golden Book version of Little Black Sambo which featured black face and racist illustrations and whatnot. She took it but left it up to me but even that I didn't really want to burn it for the reason you said.

Buuuut it did disappear from our place at some point and I don't know who may have thrown it out. But like, I get it in this case.

I haven't ever seen vandalism of these types of things, but I imagine it might be drug addicts or mentally unwell. It's easy to imagine angry teens or greedy people, but given many unhoused people having schizophrenia or drug abuse, delusions could definitely lead to destruction of these public spaces. Although I only ever saw that with a store front, not a free service thing.

Still infuriating though, people need treatment and society does its best to ignore that or even discourage it.

Just reminded me of the time I launched my 4yo by accident with a half deflated air mattress. She easily reached a meter up, and wanted to do it again but way unsafe.
