How does that not translate to “our soldiers are gunning down 12-year-olds” even if it was true? Wonder how many magat military families are proud of their kids for that. Fuckin wild

Goddamn I want to leave this country, but no one wants immigrants from the US and I don’t blame them

95* meetings

I had no idea he existed, but that was a dope ass cover. I’ll check his other stuff out, thanks!

CHERYL: Like, a big sweaty fireman carries you out of a burning building, lays you on the sidewalk, and you think, “Yeah, okay, he’s gonna give me mouth to mouth.” But instead, he just starts choking the shit out of you, and the last sensation that you feel before you die is him squeezing your throat so hard that a big, wet, blob of drool drips off his teeth and just “flurr”, falls right onto your popped out eyeball…

PAM: Jesus Christ!

CHERYL: I know, right?

LANA: What the hell!

CHERYL: I’m wet just thinking about it.

Same, except I bounced off somewhat earlier at first. Have nowhere near your hours though.

Also Death Stranding. Excellent game once I was in the right headspace.

OP, just curious, which version of that song was going through your head for the title?

I mean, Martian was somewhat decent but Artemis felt like a slog. Dude is not great at writing women. I think if people aren’t picking you up, maybe… write… better? Sounds like a prick, and he definitely has room for improvement

When is her rebuttal expected?

I’d take ambition motivated by passion, not by greed. Wanna be the best concert violinist in the world and put Itzhak Perlman to shame? Absolutely. Want to change the scientific world like Curie, Faraday? Be my guest. But if your goal is money, market share, or capital, gtfo my face and swipe left

Quarians in Mass Effect

Specifically regarding the suit and dedication required for the fetish though:

Quarian immune systems have always been relatively weak, as pathogenic microbes were comparatively rare in their homeworld’s biosphere. Furthermore, what few viruses and other microbes were native to their homeworld were often at least partly beneficial to them, giving them a symbiotic relationship with their environment. After living aboard the Migrant Fleet for generations, the quarians’ immune systems have atrophied further still due to the years in the sterile environment of the Migrant Fleet. As such, quarians are given various vaccinations and immunizations to help ward off disease. However, they prefer the safety of their suits even in clean environments and are reluctant to remove them without a good reason.

A quarian who wishes to remove their suit must take antibiotics, immuno-boosters, herbal supplements, or the like in order to do so safely, and even then there are inherent risks. As a result, physical acts of affection are difficult for quarians, even for the purposes of reproduction. Ships in the Migrant Fleet often contain “clean rooms” where quarians can give birth or undergo medical procedures in relative safety, though there are always risks. The most intimate thing quarians can do is link their suit environments. However, doing so guarantees a quarian will get sick, although they will usually adapt over time

Not just the double-slit for quantum mechanics, but it applies to people too. In a workplace, the second you start evaluating performance based on a metric, it ceases to be a useful metric. Why? Because people will shit the bed willingly in every other aspect of their job if it makes the number their boss looks at better. At that point, “highest performers” are really just the best bullshitters who can fake short-term benefits in lieu of long-term solutions, and all of them just make things worse overall.

Bruh just give me my cube of bland, it doesn’t need to be a wolf-shaped, metal-tread-packaged, Xtreme-Howl-scented monstrosity.

Not necessarily ICBMs or anything. We’ve been seeing tons of evidence about how effective drone and missile strikes are nowadays. I’m just saying it wouldn’t surprise me if some of these things were actually small attack attempts. The US has certainly pissed off enough of the world to incite some, even more so than usual at this point.

More like they weren’t meteors as the news stations claimed, but failed/intercepted strikes. Not saying that’s the case, I won’t pretend to be knowledgeable enough about weapons to say anything. Just seems odd we’re seeing a spike in rare events like that when there’s also a huge spike in drone/missile strikes worldwide. It just wouldn’t surprise me at all to learn some of this astronomical/meteorological stuff was more man-made than originally claimed is all.

So this comes shortly after a couple of fireballs mysteriously appear twice over the country. I don’t mean to shove a tinfoil hat on, but energy infrastructure does seem like a popular target these days…

I was always under the impression that these were here specifically because loading screens broke immersion and were just as disruptive. And honestly I prefer it over a loading screen myself. God of War 2018 was one continuous camera shot with fade-to-white only when fast-travelling, it was immersive as fuck. And that was only possible because it wasn’t chucking a loading screen in my face every time an area loaded.

If they’re only there to bloat playtime they can get fucked, for sure, but I am a sucker for immersion.

Theater i worked at did captions in little boxes on arms you stuck in the cupholder. It just sat there and displayed text, and you could adjust the arm so it sat where you wanted. Maybe see if local theaters do subs in your language?

Imagine how ridiculous the taxes have to be for $45M to be preferable

Edit: Was more of a comment on the inconceivable amount of money these fucks must be getting paid for 45 mil to be a drop in the bucket. Please don’t mistake my disgust for their tax amount as a justification for their actions. Imagine how much good that money could do. Instead it sits in the pockets of the top 0.01% while the only money they pay is to other corrupt fucks who keep them from paying more. The whole idea would be laughable for its logic if it wasn’t so damn cruel in action.

Man, talk about photos you can taste
