Surely the proper plural of "fogey" would be "fogeys"? It would only become "fogies" if it was originally "fogy."

Yes, how dare someone draw Asians in traditional garb, with facial features that show that they're Asian instead of white.

Tintin in the Congo was re-released in 2016, somehow, as a "Collector's Edition." And I think that's just fine. Any person with eyes can take one look at the cover (which depicts a very caricatured African boy) and decide if they want to buy/read it or not. If they do, that's their right. If they don't, that's also their right. But taking the decision away from them shouldn't be anyone's right.

There was certainly controversy, and many people were quite happy when the unabridged version was released again in 2015.

Are there really still companies that mandate punching in at 9AM sharp and punching out at 5PM sharp? Because I was under the impression it was usually something like, "Core business hours are 10 to 3, be there during those times but otherwise just get your 40 hours a week in."

Good code is self-documenting. If you have to comment your code to make it clear, you're probably not naming your methods and variables very well, and you're probably using too large and too complicated of methods and classes.

Have you noticed we haven't been hearing about ISIS, about North Korea, about border issues, about any of that recently? Trump's foreign policy was far superior to Obama's to the point that no one seems to consider it anymore. You'd think we'd be so used to war, terror, etc. that it would be jarring once it's no longer the norm, but somehow America has shifted from looking outward to looking inward (social justice, BLM, etc.) without even realizing that they're not worried about the rest of the world anymore.

That's why reporting on the number of new cases is meaningless. Considering how many people with Covid have either mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, more cases just means more people are getting tested.

It's because childhood is the only part of your life that you get to be a child, and as with any phase in life, there's no reason whatsoever to rush through it to get to the next one.

Depends on the game. I've backed (and received) a few Kickstarter games, and they usually run under $50 USD. Frosthaven is likely a huge game (have you seen the Gloomhaven box?), and $100 is probably a bargain for something like that. Plus, they have the massive success of Gloomhaven to leverage, so it's little wonder people are putting so much faith (and dollars) in it.

I've got a 720p TV, and even that picture has compression artifacts around text, numbers, and things of the sort. (It got really bad when the confetti was coming down at the end of the game.) Every network I know of compresses 720p broadcasts, so of course they're going to compress 1080p and 4K broadcasts.

Maybe every place is the same if you only do things that involve your phone, so put it down! Plant a garden, play a game of volleyball, cook a nice meal, go bowling, take a walk, paint a picture, read a book, do literally anything except stare at a screen, and you'll find that plenty of places are plenty different from each other.

You're misrepresenting how people are using these devices. When someone's on their phone while a movie is playing, it's the opposite of what you're saying - they're ignoring the new for another hit of the same: Facebook, news feeds, sports scores, chats, or whatever else. It's because of mobile devices that people get into that inertial loop of check one thing, then another, then another, then back to the first. You really think phones are the "daydreams" of the modern times? They're the very thing that prevents people from daydreaming, instead focusing on tiny echo chambers and repetitive feedback loops. Daydreams are positive things that encourage new ideas and perspectives. Phones are (very often) negative things that trap people in virtual realities at the cost of experiencing the actual world immediately around them.

What do you mean, you "knew what the test was going to be like"? It's multiple choice. It has questions related to subjects you studied. What in the world did you expect?

Perhaps the practice test gave you more confidence or some other psychological benefit, but ACTs/SATs are not really a complicated format to understand or prepare for.

Art instructors have been teaching to start with the skeleton for decades, if not centuries. We determine form by internal structure. So why are we just now learning that that's how people actually perceive the world?
