Gopnik talks about moral and artistic values while completely ignoring the moral implications of financially supporting a living artist and their problematic behaviour.

Literally had me going…

Awesome bot whoever made this. Thank you.

My understanding is that Obsidian has these features and more with plugins and such, but, yeah, it’s a not insignificant amount of work to setup.

You’re entirely correct that there are two (well four) different concepts in play.

But I feel addressing the first without addressing the second is dangerous in our current social context.

Too many of us are naturally inclined to ignore the political/moral implications of our consumption.

That said, I understand that truly ethical consumption is nearly impossible within the existing system and that people did not choose to be trapped in this system.

Maybe not the most meaningful feedback, but, FWIW, I really like the cover…

It was Brad Pitt’s character in a Thanksgiving episode, but Ross, as member of the “I hate Rachel” club help spread the rumour in high school to stop jocks dating her.

I’d argue their intent was malicious, but not outside the norms for 80’s high school kids.

Thank you

Speaking to the content of the review, I have to say that the quickness of the game was a plus for me.

It means “doomed to fail”.

Maybe try the Mauril app…

Even without recognizing the name, I knew this was Kai Winn 🙂

On a related note, speakerphone calls in public spaces.

You are not the main character.

Yes, we are in total agreement. I was just trying to pre-empt some counter-arguments.

Added you as well 🙂

That site is painfully over saturated with adds.

Short answer: yes.

Long, absolutely superfluous, answer:

Échec = Failure

Voué is the past participle of vouer which can mean to bless/offer to god or, in our case, to vow or solemnly promise.

So I guess a poetic translation would be like “Betrothed to failure.”

PS: I originally forgot to mention, but vouer mostly archaic. You’ll likely only encounter it as part of that expression.

I actually had to look it up myself. That is a very French (nationality) expression and I’m French Canadian…

Yes and yes.

It was important to me when we got the bands that they not be particularly ornate. So they’re plain bands and don’t interfere with the vast majority of activities.

The Unmatched Game System is on a lot of top lists recently and they have a set of Marvel-themed sets, with more planned I believe:

• Redemption Row (Ghost Rider, Luke Cage, and Moon Knight)
• Hell's Kitchen (Bullseye, Daredevil, and Elektra)
• Brains and Brawn (Dr Strange, She-Hulk, and Spiderman)
• Teen Spirit (Cloak and Dagger, Ms. Marvel, and Squirrel Girl)
• For King and Country (Black Panther, Black Widow, and Winter Soldier)

Personally, I love the game. I've had good experiences with gamers and non-gamers alike. I was originally concerned that the Marvel expansions would be subpar, relying on the IP, but, honestly, they have some of my favourite character mechanics.

I don’t think it was meant as a direct criticism.
