You’re not supposed to tell them about corn holing! You have to wait until they’re at a BBQ to spring it on them and expect them to participate without any explanation.

Waffling is just going to piss everyone off. Were they just hedging their bets or what? The ‘we’re just renovating it’ justification is somewhat suspicious, as museum objects/displays removed for whatever reason usually have a note indicating their removal and why, and aren’t just spirited off into the night.

But it also sounds like this was a plaque and not an actual object associated with an exhibition? So I don’t know, they had to know people were going to notice and be upset by it. I might be over-sensitized to it, but a lot of this sounds like ass covering to me. Maybe it’s because they were worried and trying to save their own hides. But we desperately fucking need institutions like this to not just fetch their fainting chairs as soon as the right wing outrage machine farts in their direction.

Does the elephant only haunt the people who buy the ivory? The people that killed it? The people that were middlemen and simply profited off the trade? The mules that smuggle it internationally? This is a lot of work for the elephant to be doing after it was already killed for its ivory.

Yes this is overthinking it, but why else are we on the internet? :p

My view is that Valve is the most likely to be honest about who is responsible here, both because they’re not responsible for this shit show no matter what the answer is and because they have a monetary interest in restarting sales.

I'll always remember this man as the crazed idiot who screamed bloody murder at a zoologist because her findings, research and experience

I missed that because I keep as little Joe Rogan in my life as possible, who was that? What was she talking about?

‘But data suggests otherwise’ is true of essentially all transphobic witch hunts, but that’s hardly going to stop them.

Shit you caught me, Big Bike paid me off to laugh at carbrains.

I’m not the original commenter, I’m just skeptical that someone can’t see the difference in cognitive effort required for the two things.

Washing the dishes and running a marathon are both starting things, so if you can do one you should clearly be able to do the other, right?

Feed me, Seymour!

Do they often have those in places other than subway/train transit hubs? I’ve never seen them anywhere else here (US southwest). And honestly I didn’t even know they were a thing before I moved here, public infrastructure in the US is so fucked.

I would legitimately love a study on whether this makes drivers more or less likely to be angry, because anything other than complete neutrality would be hilarious.
