To be fair, the snakes could be poisonous, and the killer could be feeding you to them, but he’s just telling you his plans for body disposal, not his method of killing you. He’ll likely use a knife, that way he can give the snakes bite sized pieces. You will be alive for this at first.

Before Zuck hired Joel Kaplan to specifically cater to right wing interests.
It was kinda nice yeah.

It looks like their setup, but I don’t see any recent videos. Jan 15th was their last one. I think they have a patreon with bonus clips and advance stuff.
Might be from that.

You do know that uranium oxide is water soluble right? The ocean has more radioactive material in it than the land does, also water is very good at blocking radiation. That’s why it’s used for spent fuel cooling pools.
So the physics says that if you’re going to have fallout, the ocean is the best place for it. Provided that the fallout doesn’t float. Then it will most likely end up washing up on the shores of Japan.
The key here is that the bombs available in 1950 were orders of magnitude weaker than modern nukes.
Castle Brovo alone was stronger than every bomb from the MacArthur plan combined.
Using hundreds of Castle Brovo sized bombs would fuck up the world, using the bombs MacArthur had access to? Not as much.

Hell, just look back a bit for the shit done in the open.
I submit King Leopold the 2nd of Belgium. In Belgium he’s known as “the builder king” because he spent so much of his own money to build parks and civic buildings and such.
Money that was acquired through what was described at the time as Crimes Against Humanity.

The problem with Waco was the firebombing itself. The cops wanted a big standoff rather than just arresting the cult leader when he went out into town, which he did repeatedly.
Leaderless cults can be picked apart without gunfire.

That’s the recent trend.
Well, the American government, and the Israeli government, the Russian government, the Chinese government, the UK government, the German government, and a bunch more, add in the dictatorships who can’t fuck around outside their own boarders, and you basically have every government.

For MacArthur, that plan, while horrific, wasn’t as bad as you’re painting it, if only because the bombs would have been much lower yield than modern nukes.
It would kill millions, especially if he used ground burst instead of air burst, but the actual global effect would be negligible. Cancer rates would spike in Northern Japan, but the fallout would mostly be over water.
Air burst would have even less effect, because there would be no fallout. (fallout is stuff from the ground that gets mixed with the radioactive material and free neutrons in a ground burst nuclear explosion, it’s heavy so it falls out)
Still an insane plan and MacArthur was justly fired for it and a bunch of other similar insanity, I just wish the Dulles brothers had been similarly fired for the shit they pulled.

Yup, Gin Ekiss had said that the name was just a random word.
- Comment on Cup cake 3 weeks ago:
Back in the late 80s and early 90s we had these things called malls, and they all played music without lyrics, because a mall is a noisy place and any lyrics get lost.
Also I think there were performance fees for playing copyright music. The laws are obtuse.
Anyway, most of the malls settled on this mass produced milquetoast “smooth jazz”. And then piped that into all of their stores.
This story has nothing to do with the creation of that pattern, which was made for a Sweetheart Cup Company internal design contest. The designer needed a name that wasn’t just Gina’s submission, and so a random word was picked.
The fact that most malls had started using those same sort of pastel colors might have had some subconscious impact, but that’s just my thoughts on it.

The driving was kind of janky compared to previous games. I didn’t mind the random hangers on that you’re saposed to care about, it was the driving that got me.
How do you fuck up driving in a Saints Row game?

The first game had a phone number to call, that would bring back dead characters as zombies.

Was that the reboot?
I stopped playing fairly early, and I also didn’t buy that game at full price.
It might have been part of a bundle…

The real answer is that yes, they were red, but no it wasn’t because they were poor quality.
It’s because the world’s largest exporter was Iran, and Iran had a blanket policy of dying their pistachios red.
- Comment on I don't know the reason why. 3 weeks ago:
Pistachios are native to Iran, and until the 1970s Iran was the world’s largest exporter. They dyed their exports with a food safe red.

I doubt the Torment Nexus would be this benign. Unless it’s just a lie and everyone gets the non-stop ads but are told repeatedly that they’re helping others. And every now and then, they get a message from one of the “viewers” telling them how great they are, and then the company gives them a minute of actual content, which is just an add for their higher priced subscription tier of highly rated adds.

My friend. I think we all know that abuse is more about the power over another than any sort of twisted lust.
ICE agents regularly engage in sexual assault of abductees.

Another factor here is that Epstein was obsessed with physics and being friends with physicists.
While Epstein was always a monster. He could hide it around certain people.
But from everything I’ve read, the monster always comes out. And we all know what being Epstein’s friend eventually entails.

Probably for the best, then. After all, you didn’t send any mice or birds for them to eat.

Unless you sent two, that’s not going to work. It probably wouldn’t have worked with two of them, Bob Barker and Drew Carry have been preaching the Spay and Neuter message for as long as that show has been on the air.
- Comment on AI Fails at 96% of Jobs (New Study) | ColdFusion [12:48] 4 weeks ago:
From my experience and reading, a human plus AI is actually slower at an given task than a human alone. Mostly because a human usually has to fix all the shit an AI got wrong. It’s almost always faster to start with a blank slate and do it right the first time.
This only really applies if you care about quality in the first place. If all you want is slop, AI can deliver.

I’d argue that he only needs to hold that position for seconds.
He’s standing with his back fairly straight, and is supporting some of her weight on his thighs. The natural way to hold a weight like that is bent elbow, held close to the body.

I’d argue that it’s more of a Snidely Whiplash sort of situation. One of them is going to be tied to the rails and railed.

I think I’d like for him to be in a locked room with his full cabinet and richest supporters, and then start shitting himself until he experiences complete intestinal prolapse.
Basically, anytime he shits himself on live TV I just hope that he keeps going until he physically can’t anymore. And then shits just a bit more.
It would be fitting for mango Mussolini to go out that way.
