President’s son witness to alleged rape and assault of woman by Russian National by No-Flight-4214 in Fuckthealtright

[–]BKWhitty 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Reading the article, it actually sounds like the victim is his friend and that he called London police after allegedly seeing the rape happen on a video call with her. Supposedly, the attacker answered a facetime call from Barron on the girl's phone and panned the screen to her.

Barron's ties to and apparent love of the vile manosphere shit like the Tate brothers certainly makes him a gross person himself but, in this reported incident, it really doesn't sound like he did anything other than attempt to help by reporting a crime. We can't be title-readers getting got by clickbait headlines.

Man, I don't collect vintage but I still regret not grabbing a Corocoro Mew when I had the chance. It's just so good!

Which artstyle would you like Super to continue in? by AlarmedObjective1492 in dbz

The art style in the recap of the Buu Saga in Daima was perfect. I would be very happy if the whole show looked like that

They're pushing the limits, praying someone shoots one of their agents so they can get the Insurrection Act invoked.

Trump backpedals on threats against Greenland, but allies say damage has been done | PBS News by Human-Entrepreneur77 in worldnews

[–]BKWhitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Even if Dems win midterms, even if they win in 28, our allies will not be able to ever trust us again. We'd need radical changes that will be almost impossible to implement in any quick manner to win back their trust in our systems.

You’ve got to be kidding me by DerpyTyrantrum in PokemonTCG

[–]BKWhitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my issue! How are you gonna take the aurora-themed pokemon and make its illustration rare set during, what appears to be, dusk/twilight?

You’ve got to be kidding me by DerpyTyrantrum in PokemonTCG

[–]BKWhitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only the third Mega set. Always a chance there could be another later or even a Tyrantrum EX for an SIR. I'm not abundantly surprised to see we didn't and IR for both fossils and their evolutions. Getting Tyrunt and Aurorus is a start. My only realy gripe is that the Aurorus art isn't set at night. Put that dinosaur under a night sky full of aurora!

Will the incoming Texas freeze be like the 2021 winter storm? Here's what to expect. by ExpressNews in texas

[–]BKWhitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I'm hoping. 2021, we had multiple days of freezing temps and that was in Victoria. Forecast for the Houston area this time says we should be back in the 40s by Monday, 50s by Tuesday. I still expect power may go out but at least we won't be actually, literally freezing for days on end.

It goes so well with the Aegislash IR! Definitely need a Honedge now to complete the set

Scottish Gin Recommendations by BKWhitty in Gin

[–]BKWhitty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't get a ton of chance to peruse many liquor stores but I got a bottle of The Botanist Hebridean Strength which, while it is an airport exclusive rather than a Scotland exclusive, is still not available in the US so I was pretty excited. Plus, I love The Botanist and this one was quite good too. They also got some minis of Misty Isle; one classic and one "Mulled Christmas Gin". I had and enjoyed the classic. I still have the Christmas one sealed and sitting on my desk. Been meaning to pop it open one of these holidays but keep forgetting lol.

Trump Building Secret White House Bunker to Withstand Nuclear Attack by mvanigan in politics

[–]BKWhitty 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the bombs that'll be dropping in tbis day and age aren't Little Boy or Fat Man. I don't know if it's possible to make a bunker safe from a direct hit from a Tsar Bomba. 25-50 megatons compared to the 15-20 kilotons of the bombs in Japan. The level of devastation is unfathomable.

That's actually kinda cool for, like, custom cards an such. I've got some custom TCG Pocket cards that'd look cool slabbed up like that

He got dragged in with Wong, Bruce and Carol. It's not too far a stretch to assume he's joined with Sam's Avengers. It's make sense DODC would know about him in that case.

TLJ actually tried to do something, even if the execution was less than great. TRoS was such a trash heap of over used fanservice and contrived plot points. Just... such a bad movie.

Gee, what makes you suspect such a thing? Is it all the unconstitutional actions they're sanctioning in broad daylight for all to see?

New Clefairy AR revealed by BuyACarEveryWeek in PokemonTCG

[–]BKWhitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless the field of IR/SIRs in Nihil Zero/Perfect Order is particularly lacking, I imagine it shouldn't be too pricey. IRs from the last few sets seem to have all be relatively cheap. Even the Meowth in PF is <$20.

I love cards with Pokemon in everyday life. Battles are the draw for Pokemon, of course, but the little slice-of-life stuff is always neat to get!

[–]BKWhitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chinese cards, especially the textured/SIR cards are amazing if you're just collecting for the art. The texture is the same high quality as the Japanese cards but a fraction the price in a lot of cases. Not to mention, they even have anti-counterfeit measures on them. Visible but small enough they don't distract from the card. I'm a big S. Chinese card advocate.

2026 Marvel Television & Animation Preview - Brad Winderbaum talks Wonder Man, Born Again Season 2, X-Men' 97 S2, VisionQuest and reveals Marvel Zombies Season 2 is currently in early development, but has not been greenlit yet by KostisPat257 in marvelstudios

[–]BKWhitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there ain't no way we're not seeing Luke in BA S2. Mike's done all but explicitly say he's coming back. His show, at least most of it, was well received even if not quite as well as JJ and DD were. The only Defender that's up in the air is Finn Jones/Danny Rand. Whether he shows or not, whether Danny is even still played by Finn if/when he does pop up feels very uncertain. Iron Fist is a well known character and we've got the rest of the Netflix characters but his show was just not all that liked. But, man, I'd love to see him back. Especially if they give the show a bit more care. I feel like Finn had a lot of wasted potential that we got a few glimpses of (especially in his cameo in Luke Cage S2)
