The IDF will bomb a hospital and kill 200 people
NYT article will say something like “200 Dead after bombs drop near a place, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.”
They phrase everything so carefully.
Like the bombs were some sort of natural disaster and not an intentional military strike on civilians.They always append “Hamas run health ministry”, to imply the information can’t be reliable, because it’s from a US-designated terrorist organisation
The Israeli media will say “We killed 300 Palestinians”

There’s a lot of things that are like “duh”, but it’s good that someone writes it down so someone else later down the line will have a harder time saying “um acktually video games cause stress and anxiety, not the lower wages and hotter summers” and get a fat cheque from the Heritage Foundation.

You may have a mod that included the “shut-the-fuck-up-nirn-root” mod (cant remember name) or a sane dev lowered the base volume of that Audio effect in one of the many ports/remasters.
Or you legit never stumbled across it. You will 100% know if you stumbled across it.

I have not; although I have been warned that it’s not at all what it appears to be
I have heard similar, more specific details about themes of the game. I’m going to put it off until I’m in a better place, mentally. I don’t know if what I heard was true, but I don’t want to risk finding out more, because it is so highly regarded and I want to play it eventually, also I love entertainment where “it’s best going into it blind”
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 2 months ago:
right-angle plugs are often better than straight ones because you can put furniture closer up against them and do so without stressing the cable.
Yeah that is definitely a huge bonus. I’ve taken it for granted.
We’re slowly adopting three pronged Italian/Chilean-type plugs that will be “backwards-compatible” with the EU plugs. I have no clue about polarity or anything like that.
New sockets include em. The original three pronged socket is kind of a hazard. Kids can stick their fingers in there. Not sure how that got approved.
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 2 months ago:
Allows you to remove power from the plugged in device without unplugging it. This provides convenience to easily and quickly turn things on and off and prevents arcing when unplugging.
That’s exactly what I do, because it’s more convenient than unplugging everything.
I live in South Africa, where we had rolling blackouts (called loadshedding) for a few years. It’s easier to switch everything back on when the power comes back than to plug it back into a socket without a switch, especially with my fucked up spine.
The electricity in the place I live was done poorly, so having something plugged in “live” risks a surge or something and then the appliance gets fucked and then everything smells like burnt plastic.
And that’s the best case scenario. Others have had housefires.
Also, the South African plugs aren’t pleasant accidentally to step on. It won’t pierce your foot, but it can still hurt like a motherfucker for a few seconds if you step on it in the wrong way.
Those UK plugs do look a lot more nasty to step on. I shudder at the thought.
I like the EU and US two prong cables ( 🔌?) where the prongs are parallel to the cable, but not the cables with the orthogonal prongs.

he can still use pistols I think
I’m not American nor a gun expert but I think he can maybe fire an Australian glork 0.354in (or an AK1947 Kalashnakov-mini версйон 2) with one hand
Plus, his arm will grow back I’ve seen em rich guys do it
If not he can always steal a human arm from the poors using government tax credits or the Australian glork 0.45in
Or steal a chimp arm from his monkey execution business that makes Adderall laced Doritos or some shit
sorry doing some creative writing to wake the rest of my brain up. Feel free to reply doing the same, anyone reading.

His boosting of Nick Fuentes and other Neonazis on his platform, holocaust denial, and stupid “dark maga” hat he wore when endorsing Trump had zero plausible deniability, so that was enough for me. I guess I jumped the gun.
The stuff he actually said during the speech, didn’t kinda imply where we’re going. It was pretty blatant.
Safe cities = more militarisation of the police, police brutality, wider mass surveillance
Secure borders = enforcing imaginary lines to do more police brutality and setting up concentration camps
Sensible spending = de-funding social programs that actually address the root cause of "unsafe’ cities
Going to Mars = It’s not going to be you nor I setting foot on the red planet. We’re going to be stuck here paying a monthly subscription for breathable air.
Instead of being concerned about that, perhaps let’s discuss how the X logo resembles a swastika or how his side-combed haircut is very nazi-youth-group-esque.

Alright, man. I won’t die on this hill. He did a nazi salute.
Now can we fucking move on? Israel launched an attack on the West Bank, and this stupid shit is dominating the news cycle.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Do I think he did an actual salute? Honestly, I just think he got excited and tried to improvise some kind of “thank you” gesture. I’m going to forget about this in a week anyway.
Do I think he’s a nazi? Yeah.
Plus, the wealth he hoards can solve some societal problems forever. That’s more than enough for him to qualify as an evil bastard.
He’s going to gut all the government agencies investigating his shitty business practices.
That whole cabinet is going to fuck absolutely everything up astronomically.

In South Africa, where I live, that kind of thing is a criminal offense known as crimen injuria.
From Wikipedia:
Crimen injuria is a crime under South African common law, defined as the act of “unlawfully, intentionally, and seriously impairing the dignity of another.” Although difficult to precisely define, the crime is used in the prosecution of certain instances of road rage, stalking, racially offensive language, emotional or psychological abuse, and sexual offences against children.
There are also a good number of other laws that deal with child abuse, so offenders won’t just get slapped with a crimen injuria charge on their criminal record and say it was just road rage when questioned.
