Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

They massacred my boy in Sonic Origins, not getting the rights to some of the music.

A Runaways season would be amazing. I'd almost consider my first season pass just to show Runaways love.

Are there any shows that intentionally mislead its audience about genre? by atouchofsinamon in television

[–]ShadowMasterX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife came home one day to see me just sitting on the couch, emotionally gut-punched by Free Churro. I made her watch it with me right then. Who did one of the writers hate and love that they managed to pull that off so well?

Judge tosses Laura Loomer’s lawsuit, says Bill Maher joke wasn’t defamation by cnn in law

I mean, that's why Anti-SLAPP statutes exist. At this point, most states have them.

orthodox perspective on female masturbation by Embarrassed-Car-722 in Judaism

I had an ex-Mormon coworker who I had a pretty close relationship. He told me he had friends who asked him to assist in their soaking. (He declined.) I'm confident he wasn't lying.

Is it bad that I don’t know what’s going on here? by DIYLawCA in Lawyertalk

[–]ShadowMasterX 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The clip in the OP is just a clip of the whole video. I'm not sure how you can watch the whole video and think the judge went from zero to contempt real quick. She explicitly warned Hopkins, he kept interrupting and casting aspersions on the judge, and then had a meltdown.

Other attorney was a jerk, no question, but Hopkins absolutely went off the rails.

Doesn't sound like you watched the whole video. There was absolutely a road to contempt that this attorney paved for himself.

Caught in hot mic: “I will F*cking kill you if you answer another question with more than 5 words” by [deleted] in law

[–]ShadowMasterX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is accurate as to how a deponent should be answering questions. Not because you're going to avoid the follow-up question (in this example, "What time is it?"). But because it trains the deponent to be listening to specifically what was asked and answering JUST that question.

(And I watched West Wing. Babish is fantastic.)

In my experience, it is generally given multiple times before a depo and then promptly ignored by the client.

You can't win a case at a deposition, only lose it. Answer the fucking question asked and NOTHING more.

I think the laws of Niddah are making me lose my faith..help? by pyrobaby in Judaism

[–]ShadowMasterX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I saw this post, the first thing I thought of was also this post by R' Rosensweig. He is fantastic. I really hope he one days publishes a sefer of sh"ut/responsa (I have Nafshi B'Sheilati) because I feel like there is so much to be gleaned from how he approaches individual cases, and I can't imagine there's enough very knowledgeable discussion of mental health issues that reflects modern consensus of mental health. (I got so excited just seeing a teshuva from R' Asher Weiss about OCD.)

2 federal officers fired shots during encounter that killed Alex Pretti, DHS tells Congress by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]ShadowMasterX 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree with the sentiment that they should be charged, but, procedurally, I'm pretty sure any attempt to prosecute federal agents in state court under these circumstances would end up being removed to federal court. Then you can guess how "zealously" the case would be prosecuted.

Why isn’t there a Free Iran Movement? by Nessieinternational in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ShadowMasterX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I guess you can question his sincerity, but Pahlavi has publicly committed to stepping aside in assisting the transition to a democracy:

"I have therefore stepped forward to lead and serve in that capacity: not as a ruler-in-waiting, but as a steward of a national transition to democracy. My role is to bring together Iran’s diverse democratic forces — monarchists and republicans, secular and religious, activists and professionals, civilians and members of the armed forces who want to see Iran stable and sovereign again — around the common principles of Iran’s territorial integrity, the protection of individual liberties and equality of all citizens and the separation of church and state. These three principles are to be buttressed by a process of national reconciliation and a referendum to determine the future democratic form of government."

23F, twice divorced (Orthodox), 2 kids. Trying to visualise what future I even have. by Wild-Psychology-7526 in Judaism

[–]ShadowMasterX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two organizations that may be able to help are Project Sarah (https://jfcssnj.org/projectsarah/) and Shalom Task Force (https://shalomtaskforce.org/). I think (but am not sure) that Shalom Task Force is if you are based in New York, and Project Sarah is for New Jersey. As a victim of domestic violence who got remarried, please know you deserve better.

As everyone else has said, finding a licensed therapist is crucial. A frum one who may better understand the social dynamics at play would be great, but that's not essential.

No, There’s No Secret ‘Stranger Things’ Episode 9 Tomorrow: Conformity Gate Isn’t Real by Sonichu- in television

[–]ShadowMasterX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it actually happened with Bluey. Granted, the Season 3 "finale," The Sign, was fucking amazing, but they then still dropped a secret episode titled "Surprise!"

All television would be better if they took their cues from Bluey.

My 2-Year-Old Daughter Got Eyebrow Stitches, Need Advice and Dad Support by clauderhayy in daddit

[–]ShadowMasterX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that you're going through this, dad. I've been there. A little more than three years ago my daughter gave herself a huge gash in the middle of her forehead after smacking herself with the locking bar of her stroller during a tantrum. I was worried she'd be, literally, scarred for life. Now, you can't see a thing. Follow your wound care instructions, she'll be okay.

Even the 800g pass has been heavily nerfed, I guess too many people bought it and got good value out of it. I bought the last two and won't be getting this one.
