Cool, another state race to the bottom for tax incentives. This always works out great for all involved, i.e. Production companies and major studios.

In the u.s. a bidet refers to a type of toilet or an attachment for a toilet that shoots water at your asshole while your still on the toilet after you shit. The separate sink as a bidet is unheard of here.

If it was a comedy I would give it a pass, but this episode wasn’t, or at least it was a bad one. The only sort of funny scene was the sermon. The rest was young boys slowly dying.

I get the focus is supposed to be on Elijah and how bad he is but the background is the lost cause myth and sympathizing with the common confederate troops. I guess you could say they didn’t want to make the confederates look bad so Elijah could look horrible in comparison, but you could’ve had Elijah just be even more racist then the troops.
Like the only sort of funny part where he gives the sermon, if it were realistic he would’ve gone full race baiting and go one about how the unions gonna come and free the n*****s and slavery is in the Bible etc. to rile up the troops. But in this mythical confederacy racism and slavery don’t exist which is ahistorical.

They gave it back after doing a war crime and executing prisoners of war. They also executed them with a fucking gattling gun which is just cruel. I think they were trying to get you to sympathize with the confederates about to die instead of the northerners who were killing an already defeated foe.

if it was a serious show I’d agree but it’s satire
I agree, righteous gemstones generally whitewashes the southern church and rarely shows the racism and homophobia that would be present. But I give it a pass because it’s funny, this episode wasn’t funny. The only joke of the show was him giving a bad sermon to those troops, the rest was just sad imagery of confederate boys dying. This episode was them trying to be serious and it didn’t work IMO.

Microsofts too lazy to make new IP so they’re trying to reboot any game that wasn’t a complete flop.

Can someone explain why he stopped accelerating when he started sliding back and seemed to just brake?
I get laying off the accelerator for a bit and sliding back a bit to get out of a rut, but he just gave up.

There’s a study showing about 1 in 6 people have it to some degree, so relatively common. It’s just that the images that trigger it are specific and rare, for me the clustering and the type of holes have to be just right, but if it is, ick
The way I learned about it was someone posted a picture specifically meant to trigger it on 4chan to troll people, and it haunted me enough to look into it.

That’s trypophobia . Don’t Google it though, might come up with a lot of triggering pictures.

- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 1 month ago:
Going to steel man this since theres obviously no one on here answering this question seriously. Not a republican and don’t agree with all this, just imagining what my republican dad would say about this:
For ukraine and Europe, we have no interest in protecting them besides sentimental attachments. Ukraine is not our problem, it’s Europe’s and if they want to dump money into a lost cause by all means go ahead, but leave the u.s. out of it unless your going to compensate us for it. The u.s. isn’t threatened by Russia, we have an ocean, the world’s largest navy and nukes to protect us. The larger threat is China and we should be focusing on them, not russia which can barely invade it’s neighbor, much less march across Europe and the atlantic. Europe can handle its own problems.
For Canada and Mexico and tarriffs in general. We need to bring manufacturing back to America and revitalize the rust belt. We can’t do that if companies find it more profitable to go over seas and pay people pennies when they’d have to pay Americans mich more. The only way to get them to come back is to make it too expensive to import things.
This is all about putting America first. For decades America has been spending billions to protect Europe and has been sending billions of dollars over seas to build factories overseas while factory after factory closes. We need to stop all of that and spend our money in America for Americans.

There was a poll a few days before the famous march on Washington that culminated in King’s “I have a dream speech” and two thirds of Americans thought the march was unamerican.
America has always hated uppity protesters demanding rights.

You’re making the mistake of viewing a car as a reliable means of transport and not a way to show off how cool and rugged you are.

Seems to be more complaining about the lack of it. The better the skill based matchmaking is the larger those yellow slices would be. But a lot of gaming companies know about the gambling mindset of players who want to roll the dice and hope they get in the lobby where they stomp the other team so they’ll make the matchmaking not as good and make it a coin flip on whether your on the stomping team, so the yellow slice becomes smaller.
