    Can we "sort" the babes stats?

    It's a totally niche and non-major suggestion, but I was wondering if we might be able to sort the data in the babes section in more ways. You have a wealth of variables, and I thought it would be interesting to be able to play around with the stats and see any trends. E.g. if we could sort by...

    2020/2021 Olympics

    The Tokyo Govt/IOC still seem adamant to hold them this year, while medical experts and even the local population don't. Do you think we'll have a 2021 Olympics? I get that cancelling them is a big deal, but I don't see why they can't just bump it back by 4 years. Paris is going to be fine...

    Middle East 2021

    I'm not sure why this hasn't been a topic of discussion. Maybe we're not interested, or maybe it's a pandora's box we don't want to open, I'm not sure. But I thought the recent escalation is at least worth a post.

    The pitfalls of digital gaming

    Sony just sent out notices to PSN members that they're closing the PS3 store in a couple months. They recently disabled access from PCs, so people were dreading this day. So far it doesn't mean that you can't re-download any purchased content, but you can't add/buy anything new, including...

    Should there just be a "Mass shooting in the US" sticky thread?

    I don't mean to be stoic, but we're still in the middle of a global pandemic and we've had our second in less than a week. And to be pragmatic, I don't think any of us really believe that a POTUS change is going to do anything. This week: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Boulder_shooting And...

    Police: He's not racist, he was just having "a really bad day"

    Women's Handstand Dives

    In mainstream sports, I think this is one of the sexiest ones out there. I mean, just look at that pose! And of course, what they are doing is just crazy physically impressive as well. I can barely bring myself to just jumping off a 10m platform; I can't imagine doing a handstand into a dive...

    How much time do you spend Grinding vs Playing?

    Of all the time you currently spend playing games (of all types), how much time do you find actually playing the game (forwarding the plot, etc) vs just grinding for exp, resources etc?

    What else do you predict will happen before US election day?

    October surprises are nothing new, but potus getting COVID was a twist I don't think many expected. I think RBG's passing also ranks up there. And it's 2020. Nothing seems off the table.

    Do you wear a mask when going out in public during this pandemic?

    I don't get what the aversion is to wearing one. It doesn't need to be some fancy N95 or custom designer fashion choice. Most places that are mandating it are happy as long as you're covering your nose & mouth, so even a bandana is fine. Countries where the public wear one are doing better than...

    Did trump's threats actually work?

    It seems like the protests have gotten a little less violent since the overt threats of military *****. I'm not saying protesters are actually scared, but there is some truth to not wanting to call the bluff of a madman. If rioting continued at the scale/rate that it started, I doubt he would...

    Why are the Dems bothering with impeachment?

    Not trolling, being serious. I get there are prima facie grounds for impeaching the guy, but everyone knows it will be the Senate who will be making the actual vote. They'd have to turn at least 4 senators just to get a simple majority, and they need a freaking super majority (2/3). So basically...
