I mean, I dont disagree that the concept is insanely idiotic but all they've done in the purge is take the concept of a pogrom and applied it to modern day america. The premise isn't that rediculous. It has happened, in real life. Yeah they've leaned into it, and dialed up the crazy fevor a bit, but its not so removed from real life accounts of pogroms.

I suppose it can't build up enough speed by going in direct line out of the solar system as the falloff would mean there's not enough "runway" so to speak. But I wonder if you could circle the sun and "tack" like a ship does sailing into the wind and build up more momentum that way?

Wow that's an old one, I have seen that since probably 2005-2006? Did you have it to hand or go looking for it specifically?

I had seen the hate before and foolishly just assumed he was deserving of it. Its a horrible situation he's in and he is being cast in a bad light because he reached out for help.

There's a video in a lower down comment of her getting it done.

I'm kind of in the same boat as you. My mainstay for the longest time was RockPaperShotgun, probably from 2008–2016 or thereabouts. Once the old guard left the quality of the site drastically changed, and it became significant shallower in terms of reviews. Not really sure where to get the same kind of journalism these days.

Me too. I laughed like a maniac at it and then felt bad I had no one to share the joke with.

I went to a house party once that was a lot of different nationalities of Europeans. Two French guys got increasingly drunk and belligerent about the aesthetic quality of French churches versus Irish churches. To the point they had to he asked to leave because they were close to starting a fight. I've met several frenfh people over the years and theres always some spontaneous comparison between something in france vs here. OPs story is not so far fetched.
