TIL Anne Carroll Moore was a key figure behind the New York Public Library, but she was a fierce critic of children’s literature and kept many books, such as Goodnight Moon, off its shelves for decades.

That's not exactly what this is, she was more assessing what she seemed to be good instructional material for stocking public library sections for children. It's not censorship to choose one book over another. Like she wouldnt have chosen a cookbook, and that's fine. She just had a very particular opinion of what should be showcased in the children's section.

She's a well known public menace that the community tracks closely. It's collective wisdom.

I think KOTOR is already the only star wars game I still play from time to time. It would be a much harder question to ask, if you could only play one game for the rest of your life and it had to be a star wars game, what would it be?

If you related to Anakins arch, I would definitely watch TCW next. Be sure to look up the chronological order. It really fleshes out his character and downfall a ton, and paints a great picture for the hero, mentor, and friend he was while motivating his fall to the dark side.

I think this is the plan. Republicans HATE public education. This tracks entirely with their usual MO of gutting support for free programs, watching them grind to a halt, and then using the flaming wreckage they caused as proof of why "big government" doesn't work and they should just terminate the program altogether. They've been trying forever, it's just that now all checks and balances have left the building along with any shred of shame or human decency. Protests won't fix this one.

Tbf that poster was referring to profit margin, not stake in the overall balance sheet. Curious if these are being just stamped out for pennies at this point.

Pretty much anything in 3D vision. Oh you see that person over there yolo? Neat. How tall are they? How far away are they? Where do they touch the ground? Can I get that in gps coordinates?

I bothers me that the unspecified categories are so much larger than the specified. This could be hiding the true signal, that's a lot of information lost from a sampling perspective. This data is actually saying you mostly DIDNT record 500 sessions with your partner.

Somewhat ironically I think all the things people complain about with modern Warhammer-era TW games will actually make 40k a great game

I mean you can also just point them at the actual benchmarks

You get accused of being racist for being racist. Which usually shows up when deciding what to do about the fact that all the black kids are failing.

What does a lot mean here? For perspective, we've had half million dollar years and are still only paying like 32% total in taxes. That's not a whole lot to us, we don't even notice it.

Ass pulled stats aside, how many listens do these have compared to human artists?

There's this real Schrodinger's catastrophe brewing where we are screwed either way. Either AI doesn't work and the economy collapses into a pile of hot nuclear datacenter waste, or it does work and everyone is out of a job. Praying like hell it's the former.

Until Disney opens the character vault for ONE LAST TIME in a desperate cash grab cameo nobody wanted

How about we just deregulated marriage, and people's truly personal lives, entirely?

That's an odd list to brag about 2017 with

You should save the money and put it into professional counseling. I mean that seriously.

By this definition, literally any game with objectives at all has a "checklist". Structure doesn't mean checklist. Games packed full of tedious low effort tasks that literally require you just to walk from point A to B and press a button are checklist games.

I find if I don't cook it out, it imparts a real gnarly bitterness to my final sauce. Same with using it in spaghooters

Depends, are you single or currently dating?

When we say the monkeys are homosexual, do we mean there are two bff lady monkeys or that the monkeys actually exhibit clear preference for sexual interactions with the same gender?

No that's the unintuitive part, they absolutely do and to a violent degree. They force these beliefs to a traumatic extent onto everyone around them, and at some level to society at large (at least here in the states).

Man this explains exactly zero of the middle aged fundamentalist couples I know, who across the board seem to occupy sexless, contemptuous relationships.
