The thing is - there is no evidence of sexual misconduct. He's been investigated by just about everyone from local cops to the FBI since the early 90s, and despite the outcry there's never been evidence. Considering how our justice system dealt with another high-profile figure's history of sexual abuse, I have to believe something concrete would've turned up by now.

Inappropriate? Absolutely. Illegal? Pedophilia? Doubtful. I mean, provided we genuinely believe in "Innocent until proven guilty" ideal...

Notes while I'm watching:

  1. The "vibe" is different - in my head I translated this to "he likes the GUI more"
  2. Minetest has zero "story" / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it's purely a sandbox experience.
  3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
  4. Mods are built-in, and don't require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
  5. Customization via the Settings menu

The "built-in support for mods" caught my eye. That's pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod "sandbox" to play in.

One day I hope to write a "go fuck yourself" email of this caliber.

Just occurred to me - are there streamers who read books aloud for their audience? Like a live audiobook?

The scariest thing in the world would be if they gave Sinbad another tv show.

I hear you, but consider it goes well beyond the sticky plant - simply possessing marijuana in many areas of the US can still get you thrown in jail. With many of those same states enforcing "mandatory terms" for drug crimes, we have thousands of people jailed for years for non-violent offenses. We have a lot of huge issues to deal with, but the "War on Drugs" from the start was a thin veil for persecuting minorities, and it's still going.

I'm hoping for the rest of your list of requests, too, but personally I think federal weed legalization would have a wider-reaching, far more profound impact on our population than forgiving student loans.

is now suspended with pay — her salary is $232,600 a year

For her outburst she's been rewarded with not having to work & she's still getting a six-figure paycheck. Must be nice.

Is this some European thing I'm too American to understand?

 

I'm confident the answer to the initial question is "yes", but in my little corner of the world I've never met a sculptor - no students, no teachers, no amateurs or professionals - and I don't recall hearing about significant sculptures being erected anywhere in the last few decades.

Sculpting fascinates me, but I'm totally ignorant of how it works. If you’re a sculptor -

  • when/how did you start? Do you start with clay and pottery?
  • How do you "practice"? Play-doh? Gotta imagine it's different based on your preferred medium?
  • do artists still use marble? Seems like it'd be insanely expensive & one mistake screws the whole thing up
 

Recent versions of Vim include a built-in auto-complete feature, and of course there are a half-billion other auto-complete plugins available through GitHub.

What's your setup? Plugins, or vanilla? Suggested tweaks?
