It definitely weirds me out too and I at one point definitely had this opinion. But then I was with a woman once who I was very, very attracted to; Possibly more than anyone else I've been with. (Not that that's a bunch of people) She started calling me daddy repeatedly while we were getting into, and despite me being a little weirded out by it I, uh, didn't stop.

Horny is a hell of a thing.

I mean, what do you expect them to do? how are they supposed to get permission if they're dead?

In all fairness Paul is very much not meant to be the good guy like Qui-Gon ostensibly is.

Didn't the baby spiders fly away at the end of Charlottes Web?

Everybody is saying this is politically motivated and I don't really think I buy that. Not ruling out the possibility entirely, though. Anything is possible but the logic just doesn't work out to me.

First, CBS paid Trump. Trump didn't pay them. They already capitulated by paying him off. Why would they capitulate further by getting rid of the most popular late night program if it was profitable?

Second, if this was political why are they keeping the show on until May of next year? Wouldn't trump want them to cancel it sooner?

Third, they're canceling the late show entirely. If they were canceling it to get someone critical of trump out of there why wouldn't they just replace colbert with someone more favorable to him?

Fourth, these shows have had declining ratings for years now and the writing has been on the wall for a long time that these shows were not going to be able to hang around for forever in today's streaming climate. I think more cancelation announcements are likely.

As much as I hate trump and wouldn't put something like this past him I really don't think it's likely that this has anything to do with him. Doing this for money reasons is fully in line with how terrible capitalism is for art and I can absolutely believe that this was some dumbfuck accounting decision.

₹240,000. That's like less than $3,000 US.

Mine hasn't gotten much use lately because the steamdeck itself has indirectly usurped it but man I love my steam controller. It's genuinely the best controller ever made for certain types of games. I find it very difficult to play FPS games without it (or the steamdeck) due to getting so used to gyro aiming with the capacitive touch sensors. My only real gripe with it is the subpar build quality. They've learned a lot since then in terms of hardware manufacturing so I can't wait for them to put out a new steam controller.

In 2005 they would have just taken your data without asking.

'Could' is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting there.
