Always fun when art includes the Warforged standard three finger hands rather than the human standard five finger ones. It's such a little detail that doesn't truly matter (may not even be playing in Eberron, or could be a non-standard Eberron with slightly different lore, the distinction will probably never actually come up, etc), but it's always nice to see

So you're saying there is one? Because the line that's replaced here is Tighten saying "There's no Queen of England" with the point of the scene being showing he's dumb for thinking something that does exist is like the other mythological things listed

Jane Foster when she was the wielder of Mjolnir. Not for anything about her personally, but the fact that Thor was treated as a codename. It's the dude's actual name, it'd be like if Sam Wilson went around introducing himself as Steve Rogers when he took the Captain America mantle. It's happened a few other times like with Eric Masterson, but at least he had the excuse that for most of the time he used the name he and the actual Thor were sharing a body.

For Trump specifically I think it's personal in this case, I remember a planned one from Scotland that he claimed would ruin the view from one of his clubs there, so might be as revenge against the concept for that

Plus like a lot of semi recent sexist analogies it's a rephrasing of an older racist one with the same logic but proponents are like "that's different for reasons", 'rather a black man or a dangerous animal' is pretty common in racist circles, just like the 'you have a bowl of M&Ms, 1/10 are poison. That's what it's like to deal with men' analogy from a few years back grew from the 'you have a package of Skittles. 1/10 are poison. That's what it's like to deal with Muslims' analogy

Also must not give a shit about their oath if they support Trump, defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and all that

2002's A Very Muppet Christmas Movie is an "It's a Wonderful Life" style movie where Kermit temporarily wishes himself out of existence and is allowed to observe the resulting timeline. Shots of the Manhattan skyline in the main universe where he exists show no Twin Towers as expected, but in the alternate timeline the towers are clearly visible in the background outside Piggy's window at one point. Accident because the set designers or whoever just didn't notice them in the old still used for that window, but the implication is hilarious

Though whether or not he exists is (accidentally) canonically somewhere along the chain of causation that determines whether or not 9/11 happens in the Muppet universe, so there's that

I'm partial to "The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine"

Syndrome was at least somewhat sympathetic, you can see how he got to where he was. Musk is more like Tighten, a loser who lucked into his "power" and abuses it thinking he's owed and still thinks he's a hero

Stalking would be one thing, reads to me like the idea is training a language model on the ex's texts to create an AI partner that acts like them so you can pretend nothing happened, which while probably safer for the other person than being stalked (as long as the training texts are never leaked which is a big if) is just sad

Nintendo Switch cartridge based games have a file that's unique to each individual cartridge. The dumper and accompanying flash cart make use of that file. If Nintendo detects two people playing while connected to the internet with the "same" cartridge, there's a high chance of them banning both consoles. So any used game anyone buys after this point runs the risk that someone dumped it, maybe an old owner who resold, maybe someone who bought and returned it, etc, which means even a legitimate user who hasn't even heard of the flash cart could get banned. There's also the potential issue of people using the tech in the flash cart once people figure out how to use those chips to sell bootlegged reproduction cartridges that have the same issue
