“Everyone’s nasty except me!” Exclaims world’s nastiest man.

My sharpest shoes are to sharp for you, adventurer! You must find a cobbler that makes duller shoes!

I’d be more worried that the panel is running plasma though it. Plasma that often violently explodes when the ship takes damage. He really trusts those panels with his butt.

That doesn’t mesh with the expressed views of Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

What would you consider AOC? I would call her a progressive, but maybe the disconnect we’re having is over definitions more than anything else.

Well damn, that makes a lot of sense. And sounds fun. I would play it if I didn’t disagree with Ubisoft’s business practices so much.

I’m surprised that Yasuke was the source of the problem. They had a Netflix show about him a few years ago, and before that there was Afro-Samurai which I believe was also somewhat based off of him. I can’t imagine using the only black man in Japan at the time would lend itself to being stealthy (any race but Asian, specifically of Japanese decent, would have stood out back then), but I also haven’t played the game so I don’t know if stealth is even a mechanic in this franchise anymore.

I figured people would be mad about Ubisoft’s business practices and watering down of the AC franchise in general. That’s been a talking point for years.

That being said, this is the perfect response: take away the anonymity of keyboard warriors and get them to own their words. It’s a lot harder to be mean when it’s two people, face to face. The problem is, most people don’t have time to confront everyone online.

There’s a video out there of the shooting. The cops arrive at the scene near an allegedly stolen car, four black teens run in different directions away. Within six seconds of arriving on scene, the cop shoots and kills the kid that’s in front of him. He was holding a bag, and was absolutely running away.

The cops say he had a gun after the fact, and I think the video shows a gun on the ground in the parking lot, away from where people were running. The two other teens were charged with whatever they call car theft there, one is still at large, and of course the last one was killed by police.

I thought I found a non-edited version of the video last night, but I can’t find it again this morning. Yet.

It’s amazing this was never fixed. In Korematsu v United States, a Japanese-American citizen didn’t report to Manzanar concentration camp and was imprisoned. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that it was legal to imprison citizens for national security reasons. That case still stands. And a similar executive order could be issued to do the same at any time, and Congress would be the only thing stopping it.

The order was based on the Alien Enemies and Sedition act of 1798, which was also already involved by Trump on this term.

I would love to be wrong, but I feel like more camps are in our future. CECOT is just the beginning.

Kind of like how COVID reset our expectations on everything. Bare shelves at Christmas might reset what we really need to buy.

Is that a real photo of his knuckles? I mean, the MS13 is clearly added on and likely a “decoded” read of the pot leaf, smiley face, cross, and skull tattoos that are clearly in the knuckles (very dubious on that symbolism) but are this even Kilmer’s actual knuckles? Or just a random photo of someone else?

Edit: yes, those are his knuckles as you can see pictures of him talking to that senator.

I strongly doubt, based on a quick search, that those are in any way related to a gang. They are evidence of drug culture (gasp!) but I’ve yet to see any evidence that any gang uses those.

Edit 2: it appears MS13 members literally just get tattoos that say “MS13” and don’t attempt to hide it. It’s a proof of loyalty thing, apparently.

I feel like Worf sanitized it for Wesley. I doubt love poetry worked for everyone, because it’s either spur of the moment or everyone’s heard it before. More likely, the males talked dirty while ducking. That seems more in tune with Klingon culture.

That’s a legitimate concern. Anything that’s on the Internet can also get an “update” (as if a dishwasher needs one ever) that accidentally bricks it, and you now need a new one.

I absolutely resist the Internet of Things.

I would love to know more, especially how law enforcement is tracking us, but this has a paywall. So I guess I’ll die in ignorance.

I learned to fix it. Before YouTube, that usually means not so great. But now, I usually do at least as good as a job as the people I’d hire.

Fixing stuff is easy, and you have to accept that there’s no perfect fix.

Ants, set out ant bait traps. Look outside and see if there’s a trail, follow it to the source, and spray it with ant poison.

Cracks, YouTube that. They may be nothing.

Leaks, if it’s plumbing, you can buy pipes at home Depot and replace them.

Granted, it will take a while. Maybe all day. But you’ll get an endorphin rush when it’s done and eventually you’ll come to know all the ins and outs of your house.

But it’s you look at it and it’s too big, Google a company to do it. Even if you’re halfway, and find you’re stuck. No shame in getting help. This shines you don’t have a family member or friend who’s already handy.

But really, if you can’t fix it, can’t afford to have it fixed, just do what you can to keep the house clean and work on it a little bit or put aside money till you can. That’s hard, but that’s owning a house. Like anything in life, it’s difficult. But it doesn’t have to stay that way, with enough time and practice.

You’re already smarter than many, asking for other’s opinions. Don’t suffer in silence. I believe in you!

Until we find that Nestle is just bottling the same tap water at twice the price. Oops!

I doubt it matters what we think anymore. It barely did before, but I can’t see any light at the end of this American Experiment tunnel.

It also depends on what access they have. Easiest would be to axe subsidies to oil companies, but no way they’re be able to just do something like that. There’s too much protection around that money.

Of course, if they’re doing exactly as DOGE, they suck and I’m glad they’re blocked because DOGE has made terrible decisions.

Whatever glue they’re using has a different expansion/contraction rate than the stainless steel, and the fairly smooth metal doesn’t give much surface area to hold, anyway. So in cold or hot days, you’re going to see separation.

And it doesn’t help when they don’t even glue the right pattern from the factory.

Rachel Maddow and her blistering burns aren’t going to stop trump or save us from musk. They’re throwing sticks and stones while she’s throwing words that’ll never hurt them.

We need actual action. Ideally from elected officials pushing back, public figures, and every citizen refusing to be sucked into the MAGA cult and their objectives.

Certainly not his estranged family that didn’t even live with him. Typical CEO behavior, pursuing profit over his own family relationships. What a miserable way to live.
