Honestly, I can see that. A lot of suicides are spur-of-the-moment, and the more a person has to actively work at it, the less likely they are to actually follow through on the attempt. Even just those couple seconds of working at it to get a whole box of blister packs open could be enough for a lot of people to stop, think, and say “actually wait”.

He had to be in it because they filmed in his hotel. Imagine Paris Hilton wanting to be in a film because part of the movie is shot in a Hilton. It wasn’t enough that everything in that hotel is labeled “Trump”, he had to show up and have a speaking role because otherwise you might forget who the hotel belongs to.

God I miss Wind Waker. Still waiting for that HD remaster.

The answer as to why is in the abstract: dude was flying on coke.

Because Hitachi was embarrassed about their innocent personal massager being used for such unwholesome activities. Literal PR move.

Can’t look too Old, because then your audience might not take you seriously. Mid-20s at BEST, unless you can look Old And Erudite, in which case you might be able to pull off mid-40s.

Yeah, early antifascists kinda sucked too. It didn’t help that the leader of the SA was openly gay, so a lot of antifascists latched onto that as an attack and a rallying cry.

People are gored by bison at Yellowstone every year. When I visited a few years ago, the rangers were actively having to tell people to avoid an elk who, with his harem, had decided to hang out in Fort Yellowstone for a couple days. People are dumb, or don’t think “wow that’s a 600+ lb animal the size of a minivan”.

The difference is that Dwyer did it on live television, in a highly publicized press statement. Cameras didn’t cut away.

I was about to say, just from the few BD toys I can identify, that’s an easy $4-600 depending on size.

Even into the later series, people had to fight to do interesting things with it. IIRC the network was skittish about Voyager because nobody would possibly be interested in a scifi show with a female lead.
- Comment on Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language? 2 months ago:
Technically it’s a cipher, BUT it’s also perfectly constructed to work as a language (by making the cipher easier - vowels only get replaced with vowels, consonants with consonants).

It’s a real language, it’s just German spoken by a person with a head injury /s

From what we’ve seen of him playing Path of Exile, basically, yeah. As expected from most rich assholes, he wants the prestige of being good at a game, but wants to shortcut the whole part in between where you’re not good YET.

They weren’t making bombs, apparently they manufactured explosive filler for 155mm artillery shells.

More specifically, the story has to MEAN nothing. It has to curve REALLY CLOSE to interesting ideas and statements only to swerve away just before they actually make you think about a thing.

They might’ve had one (or several) bad experiences and this is a trauma response, but even in that case, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say “yeah sure they’ll pay their own way, I just feel safer if we have a second pair of eyes I trust in the restaurant/cafe/etc with us”. Like, you don’t gotta be at the table, but I kinda get it for the first date or two being “hey I trust this person, mind if they tag along and grab a drink at the bar to be my watchman or whatever”.
- Comment on Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect 3 months ago:
Just play City of Heroes. It’s still running in private servers, and Homecoming is even doing active development on new powers and questlines.

Massaging your stats to make them say what you want is basic statistics 101.

Also, more kids are just getting diagnosed. Back when I was in school in the 90s, I was very lucky to be in a rich school district that actually taught teachers how to spot signs so they could recommend a screening, which the district would foot the bill for because they had a psychologist on staff. Now, more and more districts have people like that, and more and more teachers are taught how to spot early signs of autism (and more parents are aware of it) that kids who previously might have just been “weird kids” are actually getting diagnosed with autism.
I won’t deny a potential environmental link, but if there is one, it’s likely more linked to fossil fuels than anything. BUT that’s hard to get traction against, and it doesn’t have a magic bullet that’ll immediately “solve” the issue.
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 3 months ago:
No, it was because of shoddy wiring causing a fire inside the capsule in an area that couldn’t be accessed easily or extinguished from the outside. The egress sequence was also very time consuming (somewhere like 90 seconds). Apollo I also was just a training module, it never got launched.

Yup. The few I met at Yellowstone were approaching small eagle size.

This would be Hel, which is sort of like “you weren’t terrible but you weren’t awesome”, although you also have Náströnd, which is a place within Hel reserved for murderers, adulterers, and those who break oaths.

I mean, Russia’s certainly looking like they want to try at Finland again with those troop buildups, and they’re propping up a lot of armed agitators in Moldova, as well as a lot of sabotage across Central Europe (and now a drone incursion accidentally-maybe-not into Poland). Sure looks to me like if Russia isn’t an aggressor nation towards Europe, they’re doing a damn fine job imitating one.
Do they have the troops, morale, equipment, money, or veterancy to effectively prosecute a war against a nation that hasn’t undergone serious regime change recently? My money is personally on no success, but I’m definitely willing to say that Putin will give it a try. He has leashed his entire wagon to the horse named “expansionism”, and he NEEDS some sort of victory to keep any semblance of public support, no matter how jaded his populace might be - otherwise his dictator friends might get ideas on seizing Russian lands.
