Eddington (2025). It got maybe just a little over the top towards the end there, but overall, it felt like a very wonderful, horrible look into the disaster that is the United States of America and its many crises, new and old alike. Very stressful. Probably don't watch it if if you live in the U.S. and having to think about the current state of this country and its future might push you over the edge.

A far more realistic, if now slightly dated take. Far more that the three letter acronyms want the Shah- and, of course, and quite possibly more importantly, SAVAK- back; and the western media is laundering their opinions. It's basically like me calling for a mass demonstration at Eden Park and the press saying how important I am for getting 50k people out (having picked the day of a NZ/ South Africa rugby match, or an Ed Sheeran concert). Very, very far from the first time media has laundered such preferences too. Indeed, picking someone who is deeply flawed and will divide a country is a tried and true formula for making sure a country stays stuffed up, while exonerating yourself from the blame. Doesn't matter what Iranians may or may not want- and it's pretty clear they don't want the Pahlavis, they got rid of them twice- it's far more important to get someone pro west and pro Israel in there who can be relied upon to crush dissent and sell out natural resources to the US.

A friend got me into this vocaloid bullcrap last month. This particular one, Kasane Teto, is the first one I've heard where I seem to actually like the voice. Now she's been using it as an excuse to send me a bazillion different songs of extremely varying quality and styles...but I like this one. Honestly, I used to have a really diminutive view of vocaloids, but ever since generative AI became a thing, they just seem so silly, tame, and harmless in comparison.

At first it would crash within a few minutes of starting the multiplayer and other players joined but now it doesn’t even let me start or go into a lobby for multiplayer game

thank you President Drump

Enshrouded: After a bunch of unrelated exploration/resource collecting/dungeon crawling etc I finally got around to making some "cold biome" wear. So between base-comfort rating, clothes, and new hand-warmer I can now stay in super-cold for about an hour. But - I could live with the top, but the hat and pants, no, just no. Thank goodness for transmog. I went back to my original "look". But at least I can live in the high snow for more than 40 seconds. Also learned that if one is relying on base-comfort frost bonuses, teleporting to a TP-only flame altar removes it because it takes on the TP-altar's zero frost bonus, when you get there. >.> so one has to make any base near winter/snow the same frost-comfort level.

Exploring. Wonder what happened to them? Hmm, death by frozen pond. Poor lost souls. But they don't need that anymore - I'll take it, thanks. Stopping for the night.

Western media sure pushing Pahlavi as the hero of the revolution, WSJ saying he took a risk calling for action.

It's the same reason Putin has a deranged Chechenian with an LMG strapped to a cybertruck patrolling Moscow. They aren't a treat to the regime itself.

The Varangian Guard would like to have a serious conversation with you

Hi! Why do you choose thundercrack pistol instead of scodeos trophy?

This beautiful game missed out on some amazing companion opportunities. I would have traded any of my given companions for rangers Dorso or Bellena, Ygwulf, Aelfyr, and a couple others. The first two games had companions with more character, attractiveness, emotional resilience, and more dispositional or ideological diversity. Here, you either feel alone in some of your most important moral choices or you feel like you're in an ideological echo chamber, depending on the mood you set for your play-through .

I notice that if I want to select an arrow type when I first select my bow, I cannot open the arrow radial with “r” until I have fired an arrow. I am playing on PC. It really is annoying sending an elemental arrow into a weevil, because it was the last one selected before using a different weapon.

Thank you so much, I'm on gamepass and going to the stronghold and switching her back in fixed it.

I didn't mean to say Fo4 was better than Ow2. I said a game hasn't consumed so much of my time like Ow2 has since I played Fo4. Fo4 had a ton of issues, not only technical ones. The story had so many plot holes it would be hard to even call it a cohesive story. Yet, I'm a big fan of the franchise so I kept playing it while trying my best to ignore those issues. Ow2 doesn't really have any serious story/writing problems except for the Initiate Alva quest. (you're supposed to investigate and prove innocence but you find absolutely nothing that identifies the actual person who did the bad stuff and yet the quest just points a finger at someone no questions asked) - thought that was pretty badly set up, but aside from that. Yeah, from a story perspective, Ow2 is leaps and bounds better than Fo4.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/world/americas/trump-greenland-annex.html The rape jokes write themselves with that phrasing. https://today.yougov.com/topics/travel/survey-results/daily/2026/01/07/85f9f/3 Surprised at the number on that poll, for what it's worth, was expecting at least 40% to not care or be ok with it.

our best friend half joking keeps telling us to avoid home depot for the foreseeable future OST Seeks Answers After Tribal Members Taken Into ICE Custody she might have a point considering our post retirement wardrobe makes it appear as if we raided john fetterman's closet. HA! Good Fun!

ice are now shooting more people obviously the lack of consequence had embolden them guess there will be more than 1 shooting per day from now on

It certainly wasn't the actual reason for using Oreshnik. However, that definition of 'everyone' also agreed that Russia blew up Nordstream. Which, now, pretty much everyone agrees wasn't Russia. A pretty large proportion of that 'everyone' also decided that Russia blew up the Kerch Bridge as a false flag as well, which also wasn't Russia. (As per usual there was a certain amount of hilarity watching media report Zelensky's "may he perish" Christmas speech; then a few days later acting as if Zelensky trying to hit a Putin residence was just unthinkable. Gold fish have longer memories)

Maybe, would have expected it now. Definitely would get a kick out of that though.

am not doubting doxxing is a genuine concern for federal law enforcement, but such has been an issue for all kinda cops for years. cops got a license to use force ordinary citizens do not possess. seems like an issue where we reasonable weigh the possible harms, yes? am admitted a teeny bit surprised just how passive the freedom loving and gadsen flag waving folks has been as fed cops in dark glasses and masks has become the norm. yeah, am getting that with the current polarization in the country, as long as the feds are attacking them (minorities, non south african foreigners, libs) as opposed to us, (white christian nationalists) then any possible hypocrisy accusation or shame is nullified, but we nevertheless thought a few more o' the don't tread on me people would be worried about what happens when the libs got power and began erecting their fema concentration camps targeting god-fearing americans. ... not joking about the fema camps thing. serious, do a search: alt-right, conspiracy, fema, concentration camps. but shame is dead, or dying. the internet provides anonymity to d-bags who wish to say things they would hesitate to utter aloud in public. cops who might otherwise hesitate to twist-up an abuelita 'cause o' fear somebody could be filming them is gonna be less restrained when wearing a mask. doxxing is a newish and real concern for law enforcement and am not completely numb to the fact the cop job, as difficult as it is, has become increasing hard 'cause who wants the aggravation? selective edited video could make saint francis appear to be a psychopathic animal molester. most cops cop get paid pretty well, but they also need take a whole lotta abuse and 'cause firearms is so widely accessible to the american population, the stress o' the job is rare worth the money. everybody expects cops to be superheroes who will run into oncoming fire to protect and serve, and given the nature o' the job, chances are high that if they make a mistake, somebody is gonna get hurt... and maybe even dead. unlike some, we don't expect every cop to be a highly trained sooper soldier with lighting fast processing skills and fantasy hero courage. at the same time, 'cause cops is authorized to use force on Gromnir if they got probable cause (recently a fed judge revealed that far too many dhs officers and leadership were under a mistaken belief that reasonable suspicion were enough to trigger use o' force,) am thinking it is not too much to ask that they is denied the faceless anonymity o' an internet troll. shame is not necessarily a bad thing... and am not just saying that 'cause we were raised catholic. HA! Good Fun! ps a weird auto-correct of "weigh"

we often get thickened soup with a surfeit o' bones, but am admitting this last iteration were... unique. we could slide our soup outta the container and cut off slices as needed. heck, am suspecting that with a transparent straw driven in the center, we could sculpt a venus de milo analogue outta the mass and it would retain its shape... although with the greenish-yellow hue and bits o' animal and vegetable matter it would be a venus + toxic avenger kinda monstrosity. maybe something to think about for next halloween. as an aside, am knowing we mentioned once or twice, and am suspecting shady were already keen aware, but for others reading, powdered gelatin will replicate the thickening and moisture retaining properties o' bones or veal. gelatin is fantastic stuff. the collagen from veal which keeps your meatloaf or meatballs tender may be included via a bit o' gelatin powder sans the veal. in fact, nowadays we never use veal for squeamish reasons, and gelatin makes us feel the loss almost not at all. also, instead o' thickening a stew with cornstarch, potato starch or flour, it is possible to achieve similar results with gelatin... although you gotta add the gelatin earlier in the cooking process than you would flour, so it takes a smidge more practice to get the quantity just right. part o' the problem with reducing a liquid is that as you cook off liquid, you are also cooking out flavour... the more wonderful is the cooking aromas in your home when making a stew, the greater (if still small) the tragedy 'cause all that beautiful smell is escaped flavour. 'course you are also concentrating the flavour by reducing, so... in any event, instant pot and gelatin is nifty options for keeping the flavour in a dish which ordinarily requires long cooking times and/or significant reductions. bone broth umami won't be replicated by gelatin, but in some instances you won't need the extra meat flavour. HA! Good Fun!

Hi Creators of Grounded 2, I mentioned some feedback earlier but I forgot about one extra bug fix that the games needs is How the floor is glichy and I tend to get under the map quite often. Just thpught I'd leave this feedback as well due to what I already wrote to you guys.

that would be very post internet way to look at the situation ss should have all been arrested and punished post ww2 but instead france recruit them to help suppress their colony because they have so much experience stamping down dissent at this point one should assume same will happen to ice when this regime they serve fall someone else will use them to perform more atrocity
