  • The context is "suddenly".

    Doesn't sound anything like Aziz Ansari's bad date that was overblown.

  • Maybe give us a quick synopsis? I live in neither country so I don't know the nuances you're referring to. Did Ukraine officially say something against Poland? Or a portion of Polish government? You're pointing to a blog post and not a news outlet, so that's a very niche source and not typically deemed credible in the US (where I live). If you have a link to like The Guardian, or something like that, I'd absolutely believe it.

  • That's too real. I don't like it. Describing a hellish world of AI anti-choice, then at the end revealing that most of us will just be in labor camps instead. Damn. I'd tell you to write that into a book, but I don't think there's a happy ending there.

  • He did likely make off with all of our previously government-only information, though. He'll feed it through grok to try to catch up, and be shocked when Russia or whoever steals it.

    So he's got that going for him.

  • I could... tell when I made it to the bathroom. The sesame oil was not digested at all. I have eaten the same type of salad before and since.

    Maybe it's a unique thing to just me, but no, I'll never try that again just to see. It was a horrible experience.

  • Pretty sure it was being raw that did it. I've cooked with it since and never had a problem. But when it goes on a salad, it's typically just right out of the bottle... Never again.

  • Just as a heads up to anyone reading this... Don't use sesame oil to make an oil and vinegar dressing. I did it once and shit my pants so bad I never wore khaki pants again. That stuff isn't like Olive oil or anything else in your kitchen. It is Instant Bad Day in a bottle.

  • "Everyone's nasty except me!" Exclaims world's nastiest man.

  • Genius

  • 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.
