It’s dismaying to hear those words but it isn’t surprising. I don’t know how much of the sentiment is delusion and how much is dishonesty but, like many Democratic politicians, he has a pattern of painting politics as a bunch of reasonable disagreements that we can and should compromise on when he’s not discussing an individual issue.

So because the issue at hand is whether candidates should accept election results and all other political disputes are momentarily valid, the message he wants us to hear is: “The other guy wouldn’t accept what the voters say but I would. See how much more mature and level-headed I am?”

What terrifies me the most is I think saying that is the right move, politically. Most of his prospective voters are in denial that the right is becoming overtly fascist and would be turned off by the appropriate reaction to the idea of Trump winning again.

I got no beef with the three prongs like you see so many fuss about but those analog sticks were extremely fragile and would inevitably go completely limp over time and wind up 99% deadzone.

PS2

• best d-pad ever made
• comfortable to my big hands without being uncomfortable to friends’ regular-sized hands
• pressure sensitivity all over the place, even if that did get underutilized
• versatile design that’s equally comfortable to use for 2D and 3D games and doesn’t specifically favor a small number of genres
• smooth, strong, and yet quiet rumble
• good heft
• uses a cord so no fucking around with batteries
• sensibly named and located Start and Select buttons (Everyone‘s been dropping the ball on that front, lately. Sony most of all.)

Some words just have more than one definition is all. It’s not about me, it’s about the dictionary.

Xenophobia isn’t a medical term. All the examples you listed are xenophobia.

I was giving the Lee Lemon thing as an example where I agree Kif’s reaction was homophobic, saying it was the only such example I could think of.

The patrons are responding to the way he’s performing. Zapp is broadly a parody of Captain Kirk and this scene was a reference to William Shatner’s infamous spoken word cover of Rocketman, at least until Zapp fully broke down and started wailing the name of the woman who hates him. The only reason the song is Lola is because that’s a famous song you can easily swap Leela’s name into.

I swear I remember a Kif reaction, too, by the way.

I only remember one instance of Kif being homophobic, when Zapp says Lee Lemon is filling him with “other emotions that are weird and confusing.” Not wanting to constantly see your commanding officer naked isn’t homophobia.

And his annoyance when Zapp sang a name-swapped version of Lola was about how Zapp is acting toward Leela by doing that rather than the subject matter of the original song. Zapp even replaced the trans subject with a cis one, what could a transphobe even be objecting to?

It would greatly benefit your argument to provide another possible explanation.

Could you give an example of a web page that doesn't work right on it? I've never noticed browsers differing like you describe.

My understanding of Baldur's Gate 3 is that everybody is romantically interested in the player character.

Maybe I'm just a catch?

Anytime.

Traditionally yes, don’t ask me how.
