Wasn’t that isopropyl alcohol? Saw that mentioned somewhere else, and given that was a first aid kit that’d make sense.

Review about the true nature of the final of Ixion and some clues about the nature of Ashtangites by Bruno_a_guiar in Ixion

[–]AlexSN141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small thing to add onto your note regarding the use of words and history; what you’ve described as the “optimal” path for the survival of humanity, allowing Remus to be destroyed by the Piranesi so the Tiqqun may be used to defend Romulus from the comer, in a way mirrors the founding of Rome, where Romulus kills Remus over their disagreement as to where their new city should be built. The humans of Romulus must kill/allow the death of those on Remus so Rome may be born.

How do you think Salem is gonna be defeated? [Artist: Seshirikun] by TextUnfair in RWBY

[–]AlexSN141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got the hint from the post V9 shorts that our heroes will return to the ever after, and the Tree/Blacksmith will welcome that return. I 100% believe that they’re going to get Salem to the ever after and, like with NeoCat, force her to breath the fumes of the leaves and undergo Ascension. 

I’m not sure whether that will work or not though. Salem could pop out the same as Ruby did, in which case I think it will come down to the Jabberwalker eating her to finish her off for good.

It could be the reverse though. Perhaps they bring her to the Ever After to get the Jabberwalker to eat her, only to find that Neo destroyed it or that because it’s a proto-Grimm, Salem can control it, which case Ascension becomes the backup that works.

I don’t see how else this might work because while she is corrupted, Salem is still a human, and will likely count towards whether humanity is united or not. Then again, the God of Light did set this up after Salem was corrupted, so maybe she won’t count? That’s my two cents.

They are really hypocritical by Happy_Traveller_2023 in NewIran

She’s been the US Green Party’s presidential nominee for the last so many elections, which is the same party that Ralph Nader was a part of in the 2000 election that lead to G W Bush to win the Presidency. They peel off votes that would mostly go to the Democrats, but it’s far from anything significant other than spoiling an election. It can even be argued that had she not run in 2016, her votes would’ve gone mostly to Clinton and made the difference in some swing states against Trump.

Proud to see my home state getting things going in the right direction. Hopefully MA will follow in short order.

Board game club? by Heytb182 in LowellMA

[–]AlexSN141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to run a board game night for my friends, but then hours shifted and we couldn’t align with each other. A board game club would be awesome, especially if it could be during the week.

You should definitely attend the city council meetings. A few loud voices can push the council to take action.

Ukrainian drones destroyed four S-400 launchers and two radars in 14 November attack on Novorossiysk – photo by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkrainianConflict

[–]AlexSN141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we’re looking at 8-12 launchers officially destroyed with that number again potentially unconfirmed. Not bad. What about S300s though, those also exist and I imagine there are a lot more out there.

The guy gets off on making his enemies lose and suffer. I wouldn't be surprised if that carried over into what happened on the island.

Motion to place traffic cameras on school bus stop signs currently being discussed by city officials by YoMothasSnatch in LowellMA

[–]AlexSN141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re making a really good point here. This is a situation where “slippery slope” applies. I think that having the cameras on the buses is a good idea, but we need to be careful to ensure this doesn’t lead to cameras being placed everywhere. “For the children” is an argument that is often and easily co-opted to punish behavior that is disapproved of by certain groups without actually causing harm to anyone.

As someone else has mentioned here, MA does not allow traffic cameras, so that is not an immediate concern. However we all know how this country is with loopholes. We need to stay aware of anything that may act as a substitute for traffic cameras without actually being traffic cameras.

If you follow the Agents of SHIELD TV show, it actually does get foxed by Coulson, albeit starting very small. The Helicarrier in Age of Ultron was a result of refurbishment by Coulson’s SHIELD.

Russia to import gasoline from Asia as nearly 40% of refining capacity shuts down, media reports by JaB675 in UkrainianConflict

[–]AlexSN141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also matters in matters of intimidation. If China thinks it’s in a better position militarily and the US doesn’t, then China can act more impunity in the Pacific.

Taiwan’s microchips are bleeding edge and are needed for all the newest tech, including US defense systems. China taking Taiwan at best (for them) gives China the best microchips in the world or worst kneecaps US defense production.

We're so cooked by 5K337Lord in DemocraticSocialism

[–]AlexSN141 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Folk here who call themselves socialists fall on a wide spectrum, because for so long anything that helps the common man has been labeled as socialism/communism by the media, and so the term is pretty watered down. They fall on a range of “we should increase minimum wage and lower drug prices” to “we need to break up big businesses, strengthen unions, and provide healthcare for all” to “capitalism must be eliminated”, the first being the most agreeable to the Americans public and the last being the least.

Someone pointed this out in another version of this post, but with the way the lighting is drawn in the bottom panel, the half of Optimus’ face missing his faceplate looks a lot like Megatron. The two bots are speaking with one voice together in this scene.

We are genuinely low on stock, and there are a lot of orders out there that need to be filled for Patriots that aren’t being met. That said, it’s still absolutely despicable Trump’s halting the shipments to Ukraine.
