It finally clicked for a friend when I asked him if he knew how old the “young women” were in another case, and he said “I don’t know… 25?” which then got corrected to “16 or 17” when I reminded him that the “young women” in question were minors.

So finally I called out and asked his daughter to show us the cool picture she was working on in the study, and she excitedly runs in to show us. She was 9 at the time.

I asked him how he enjoyed the picture that “young woman” drew for us. I literally saw the change on his face when it clicked.

Hide a bin ladin or demon core in there and you’re good to go

As long as you rake in the cash quick enough, you can be rich before anyone realized that you’re the problem.

And now you’ve got money to pay people to beat them into submission when they complain.

I was about to say, “what do you mean ‘old days’, I’m still playing!”

This game will outlive DOOM being run on things.

Or more likely, someone will figure out a way to play one in the other.

JUST

DO IT

Hell, make it 100%.

All countries

100% import taxes on all ICE

Make people demand EVs

Motivate countries to produce in-country.

Lol ain’t that the truth.

But I also don’t do any of that for a job, so I doubt my boss will agree!

What if I can operate several different types of forklifts, reach trucks, skid steers, and an excavator, but I’m not “certified”?

Literally, if you know there’s 0 chance of it happening, why not test?

Note: this is very different when you’re a government entity making the claim and doing the test vs when you’re an individual making a claim and then someone else does the test, especially if law enforcement or other government bodies are involved.

If the UK investigators were so sure, then doing the tests remove all doubts, and nobody can point to it and go “then why didn’t you test? Seems shady to me” because… Well… Seems shady to me.

The last time it got above 95 where I live, I was a child, nobody went outside that week, and everyone was complaining that it was the hottest days they’ve ever felt there.

It’s already happened 3 times this year. Once in “winter”. All of this week has been above 95.

This is the hottest year of your life…

Every year.

Until you die.

Potentially of heat-related conditions.

Jokes on you, I can’t grow a beard.

Dudes an XP hog.

Then you get to NewGame++, try to skill your way through, then they pull out surprise moves, are a lot faster, and mock your pitiful attempts to damage them.

And this isn’t even their final form.

Do… Do people care what the REAL scarlet Johansson, Jennifer Aniston or Elton John have to say about Ukraine defending itself and it’s people against a fascist invasion?

I mean, I find their stuff entertaining, sure, but like… Why would I listen to their tactical analysis in the first place?

Oh no, not again.

I went to a celtic festival earlier today and there was a (male presenting) person in a dress you would expect to see on a docudrama about Jack the Ripper.

Inside this lady of the evening dress was the hariest person I have ever seen in a dress. Take that dark dense patch in the center of rikers chest, put that all over the exposed breast area, the upper back, arms, huge beard, very dense hairy legs. And all of it fiery orange.

That might be approaching “too much” territory, but I gotta say, what we have seen on star trek so far has been alopecia by comparison.

Please drink Verification Can.

Oh, their position can absolutely be changed.

It’s just that not enough of the American people are quite there yet.

My favorite part is all the inside jokes they pack in as well. You don’t really get all of them as a viewer, but I’ve watched every episode with commentary, and a lot of interviews with a lot of the directors, producers, prop/costume/sfx people.

Nothing beats the “special effects coordinator” guy screaming BIGGER at everyone after they show him progressively larger explosive effects.

More like “we can never know the TRUE purpose of the broken column, but due to its obvious penis shape, it is widely accepted to have been religious or ceremonial in nature”

Edit: which now I’m wondering if that was the original meme

I love that every Sci fi show eventually does the “out of phase” episode, and I love seeing the fun twists and flavorings they use to make it “their” version.

Like Stargate sg1 and their crystal skull radiation and advanced dimension-shifting technology episodes.

And my personal favorite lampshading for this is actually from Stargate. in the in-universe parody show “Wormhole X-treme” one of the main character parodies asks “if I’m out of phase, why don’t I fall through the floor?” and the response from the writer/director/producer/whatever he was, was something along the lines of “I’ll have to get back to you on that”
