It looks like it's done in a comic book style. Reverse image searches show some Twitter and Tumblr posts indicating it's Kate Kane looking for Tim Drake (Batwoman and Robin from the Batman franchise), but I'm not sure if this is an actual page from the comic or just fanart.

Stein wasn't even the only third party candidate stealing votes. I voted for Gary Johnson with the Libertarian party as a "protest vote". Glancing at national results, he had almost three times as many votes as Stein did.
I was 100% the moron this meme is targeted towards. I voted for Harris yesterday.

I think the rest of the article is worth the read. Apatow really was dominating Hollywood for a few years there.

What, are they running down the same presidential campaign checklist as 2016 and just forgot to remove the "hush money to pornstars" line-item for this go-round? Someone call Karen MacDougal and find out if she got the same offer.

In North Carolina in the US, we might have official documents calling it a Driver License, but having lived here almost my entire life, I would use "driver's license" in casual conversation.

Now I'm wondering if there's a supervillain fight where Spider-Man just insulted his enemy over and over until they lost all morale and gave up. Spidey's been around long enough that I have to assume it happened at some point.

Interview starts 3 minutes in. All ads before that - including an ad for the very conversation you clicked on. Fuck iHeart.

I think the timing of both trailers is important. That DvW trailer didn't come out until a week or two after opening. Spoilers were extremely hard to avoid online. This Agatha trailer acknowledges and expands on the reveal from last week.
Disney knows it can't enforce spoiler warnings, you either go Internet dark to avoid spoilers, you accept them, or (ideally for them) you consume the content in a timely manner when your dollars or eyeballs are most important to their bottom line.
These trailers capitalize on the Internet discussion when the secrets are all out.

Crazy to see the N64 so far down the list. I was a Sega-, then Sony-kid but it seemed like the N64 had a better market share than the graphic would imply. Might just be confirmation bias based on my age though.

I remember when the Cyber Truck was revealed, including the whole window cracking thing there was a dip in Tesla stock, I was on Reddit the next day saying, yeah, it's ugly as sin, but if I was the investing type, it would be a smart time to invest, because Tesla stock would bounce right back and the fanboys would drool over it.
I was right, but after all that's happened since then, I wouldn't be brave enough to try to call whether things will trend back upward this time.

This might be an Australia specific thing. I'm in the US and I've been paying separately for Spotify all along. We did have Slacker Radio included, and I recently got an email very similar to the one posted telling me that Slacker would no longer be included going forward.

I have to believe that whomever it was who coined the term "sex bot" would be very disappointed to see how the term is being used today.

I think this is a perfect idea for a Youtube channel. Maybe in Alt Shift X's style. Just go through popular shows (ongoing or finished) and recap the big ongoing plot lines, characters, relationships, etc. One at the end of each season, maybe even one at the end of the series just for the sake of completion.
I saw a recap like this for the show Dark and, well, I was still lost through most of it, but it's a good idea. That show's a bad example.

I think you misunderstand their point. PostIdent would only be useful AFTER someone took the time to rate the game. Steam does not require any official content/maturity rating in their store, just some subjective content descriptors. To do so would pass an additional cost onto developers. The US-based ESRB process, for example, can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars to rate a title.
Further to your point, I try to limit the number of times I provide my personal ID online. It's one thing when you show your ID at a bar and the bartender gives it back to you after a glance. It's another when I'm sending a photocopy over the internet and trusting a remote, distant party to use the data once and discard it. Even worse if they save it for future use and risk leaking it later.

The PS3 also had damn few games to play at launch. If it wasn't for Sony's decision to ship it with a BD-ROM drive it probably would have been a total flop. Home theater nerds saved the PS3.

No, but I remember buying my first smartphone (SymbianOS) without a data plan and being terrified that using the GPS function with pre-downloaded maps would accidentally run up a thousand dollar phone bill.

So his concern is having a potential partner that he couldn't physically outmatch? Can't think of why a guy like that might be single

No it can't wait until Monday at 9am, no there will not be a staged roll out and multiple rounds of testing.
I hope you're doing internal product development. Otherwise, name and shame so I can stay the hell away from your product. This is a post-Crowdstrike world.
It’s time to talk about something Star Wars has been avoiding for some time: recasting its original trilogy characters. There have long been calls for the likes of Luke Skywalker to be portrayed by new actors (Sebastian Stan, anyone?) but it has, by and large, been something that the franchise hasn’t needed to properly confront – until now.
From Steam's [self-published stats](https://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/). Baldur's Gate 3 could not be preloaded and weighed in at 125 gigabytes on disk, so when the game left Early Access at 11am US Eastern yesterday, Steam's bandwidth utilization shot up 8x over a span of 30 minutes. I know personally, I saw my download hit over 600 Mbps across a 1 Gbps fiber connection. Kudos to the system engineers at Valve. It is mind-boggling that they have built infrastructure that robust.
