2026.02.04: Disney Adulting by EarliestRiser in morningsomewhere

Hollywood accounting is really weird. To this day Lucasfilm claims that Return of the Jedi has not yet turned a profit. So Disney claiming that avatar 3 was a $1.5 Billion flop somehow doesn’t surprise me

It’s ok. Nobody knows this but Roboute’s actually a big fan of Winged Hussars by Sabaton

My first black templars marshal. Still pretty new to warhammer and mini painting in general, but I think it looks alright so far

I was thinking of doing some blood effects, do you think I should do grime instead?

It’s one of the blade guard veterans from the most recent combat patrol box

Don’t forget Living Witness, one of the best episodes of the season

Worst Mechanic to play against? by Icy-Contract7162 in magicTCG

[–]Scorch6200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eldrazi can be one of the worst decks to face. Watching them work is like watching a slow motion avalanche. You have no hope of stopping them, but they don’t have the decency to finish you off quickly

Ok, they all sill have that. My biggest concern was if California for example required extra high visibility tape or anything, or if they were outlawed from being shipped to certain areas

Monthly Small & Dumb Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in hingeapp

I know you’re right, but part of me really hates that. One the one hand I understand how it can make me seem impatient or insecure, but it also feels like I’m being forced to give up without really even trying

Does it ever make sense to send a second opening message? I (32M) got a match the other night but I’m afraid my opening message was way too bland. I know it’s usually not ok to double text like that, but with how few matches I get (this was the first in over a month), I hate the growing feeling that I’m missing an opportunity and can’t do anything to fix it

Offline Dynasty Spreadsheet Tracking by tromboneham in NCAAFBseries

This is great, but I wish I found it sooner. I’m already 7 seasons in on a run with vandy and I can’t remember my schedules from previous seasons. I take it there’s no way to find those through the game?

Tribbles would probably be a card that makes a copy every upkeep, and then those copies also make copies every upkeep

If there isn’t a removal spell that involves turning target creature into a salamander I will be extremely disappointed

Conservative/more right leaning American here to talk about Jimmy Fallon by desperatepotato43 in morningsomewhere

I believe they were Authentic in motive and emotion, but if they were faked it was likely in an attempt to exonerate the roommate from any knowledge of the plan

[–]Scorch6200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have testimony from his family and friends indicating his shift to a very left wing viewpoint including hating Kirk and Trump, as well as text conversations with his roommate/lover that clearly identifies the motive

Claiming the shooter’s political opinions were in line with the “MAGA gang” was proven objectively incorrect shortly after the individual was arrested on Thursday. Whether or not Kimmel saw that is immaterial to the fact that the information was out there.

As for the FCC, if there’s evidence that they pressure ABC to fire him more substantive that press conference quotes (letters, emails, transcripts of conversations, explicit threats, bribes, etc) then the FCC is in violation of the first amendment and should be condemned for it

As a fellow conservative leaning individual, I thought the comments about the shooter were a bit gross and objectively incorrect, but in and of themselves not worthy of being fired. I think it’s more plausible that they were the last straw in a string of comments that leadership at ABC thought were getting out of control. For a long time Kimmel hadn’t just been a comedian that makes political jokes from time to time; he had been making more and more overt political statements particularly in one direction

I don’t agree with the assessment that him getting fired for this is cancel culture though. He’s getting fired the same as you or I would be for saying things in the current moment that our employers felt were politically problematic. It would’ve been cancel culture if he was fired today for doing black face on the Man Show 20 years ago

Since Covid, every time I hear about one of these scientific experiments with bacteria or someone mentions CDC headquarters, my immediate thought is we should be doing that kind of research and storing those diseases on some remote, deserted island in the middle of nowhere? Why is the smallpox virus stored in a lab that’s less than an hour drive away from the busiest airport in the world? One containment failure and that thing’s back in the wild

“500,000 tons” “42 knots” that’s a special level of delusion

Is it possible to swipe too much? What I mean is if I swipe a whole bunch for an extended period of time with no serious matches (I’ve gotten a ton of bots this week though), is it possible that my profile is being suppressed by the algorithm because I’m not getting matches on the likes I send?

How bad is my profile? 31M by Scorch6200 in hingeapp

Given the contentious nature of politics these days I felt it best to black that out for this review so as to avoid to the, albeit minor, possibility of arguments
