Yeah, I don't remember all the details myself, so you're probably right. I was basically trying to support your thesis that Bethesda getting nasty over mods would be something entirely new and out of character. The only example someone could even try to point to had a bunch of other (better) explanations than "mod bad, Bethesda mad."

For all their faults, Bethesda may be the most mod-friendly AAA studio out there right now.

I can vaguely recall a single instance where they shut someone down, and that was over re-used audio assets from an older game. That was almost certainly about contractual licensing obligations to voice actors.

Ok, this is obviously stupid, but if we can turn the power of the nutjobs against airport scanners and biometrics and such, I say bring on the crazy.

On the one hand, it has to be a mistake, right?

On the other, malicious harassment of an immigration lawyer with a "foreign" sounding name is exactly the sort of thing you'd expect right now.

Absolute best case scenario for this administration is that they are prone to making stupid, dangerous, embarrassing mistakes that will end up getting someone hurt or worse. And that's giving them way more benefit of the doubt than they've earned.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

President Mike Johnson outlaws women going out in public alone and institutes daily Bible reading classes. Attendance is mandatory if you don't want to end up in an El Salvador slave prison.

For all we know, in that moment Elon was standing on some dirt, making him the wealthiest person on lower-case earth.

As online commentary states: I sold my car to myself for $1 million.

The numbers don't mean anything at all.

Dude thinks the world would be better off if the allies had lost WWII and now also if the US had lost the Revolutionary War.

Total loser who craves losses.

He is a certain type of anti-intellectual who believes "nothing is true unless I discover it myself."

Education is useless, truth is a lie, etc, etc.

So he destroys everything he touches until he can recreate knowledge himself, poorly, expensively, and redundantly. Then declares himself a genius for getting back to basically where the rest of humanity already was years ago.

Forget the rebels, why build the death star(s) in the first place?

It's easier, faster, and waaaaay more effective to just send a few dozen small ships throughout the galaxy with an extra hyperdrive or two to be ready to blow up any planet with some space junk. Any time. Any place. No centralized base for the rebels to stop.

If you subscribe to all the services, it can be expensive. But it's still FAR more flexible than traditional cable, since you can pick and choose which services you want on any given month, and cancel when you've binged all the shows. The shows that don't shove ads down your throat every 5 minutes, BTW.

This just reads like an ad for cable companies. "Please stay with the worst customer service in the country, the competition is just as expensive if you ignore how people actually use it!"
