Anything that doesn’t conform neatly to their views is bias. My parents were like that when I was growing up; Rush Limbaugh and Focus on the Family all day on the radio, then my dad would watch the evening news and bitch about how biased it was. Completely nuts.

I think you mean to say that she deserved a medal.

Neelix was one of the best characters on Voyager and I will stand by that assertion forever.

I also think that Ethan Phillips was one of the best actors in the bunch too.

Episodes like “Jetrell” and “Mortal Coil” still move me every time I see them. Dude is amazing at playing a very damaged person hiding (in part) behind a mask of joviality. Neelix was truly a good hearted man who loved his crew, but those times when the mask slipped really showed what a complex individual he was.

They’ll give him money either way; it would be great campaign material for Biden though.

r/redlettermedia went down today which surprised me. Glad they’re jumping on board; I hope spez is eating some serious shit right now.

Props to The Verge and David Pierce for his coverage of the redditing in general. I have been critical of the Verge and Patel in the past, but since the big site changes I have been forced to admit that the changes have been for the better.

Smart of him not to set the bridge on fire before he’s made it all the way across.

They just start writing stories featuring reasonable politicians who aren’t taking insane positions.

I mean in a world where Mitt Romney seems like a reasonable guy, everything is satire.

I know you said in game preferably, but I do think it’s worth giving a shout out to Nobbel on YouTube; his lore videos are really engaging and thorough, and you can often find videos on specific topics (like the story of Sylvanas) where he compiles history from several sources into a video. It’s worth a look if you’re really interested in the lore, because for better or worse the game itself sometimes only touches on events that have more depth in other sources.

The reality is that a LOT of reddit users are casuals who probably visit a couple of subs regularly using the official app or a web browser and are perfectly content with that. The issue, I think/hope, is that they aren’t the ones generating a lot of the content and discussion and they will lose interest in reddit when the big contributors have moved on.

I could be completely wrong and this may be a blip in the history of reddit, but I hope that it impacts them in a meaningful way. Reddit is 100% dependent on third parties generating content for them, so the leg they’re standing on is pretty fucking wobbly.
