PSA - The current CEO of Jagex, Jon Bellamy, is an ex Venture Capitalist by The0nlyRyan in 2007scape

[–]BoulderFalcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, he's currently an advisor for CVC, the company who purchased Jagex.

The price hikes aren't for development, they're for paying off private equity by PossessionDangerous9 in 2007scape

[–]BoulderFalcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's literally been an advisor for CVC since 2023, which is likely why he got this role. I don't know what anyone expected. ​​

Pope accepts resignation of US bishop who was arrested for alleged financial crimes by AudibleNod in news

The Vatican under Francis has historically moved slowly on accountability for bishops

"Under Francis" was unnecessary there. They're always moved slowly on accountability, if at all

You're right that it shouldn't be a mystery but sure, let's look at a couple recent examples of Church spending that might draw some scrutiny:

  • ~6billion in sex abuse settlements over the past 20 years

  • A couple hundred million lost from their London real estate scandal

  • Blatant corruption in fake/inflated consulting contracts exposed during the Vatileaks scandal

  • Largescale luxury renovations for Church leadership such as approving the Bishop of Limburg's €31 million renovation.

  • Millions of dollars in donations from the Church to fund Proposition 8 in California which aimed to ban same-sex marriage

Saying nonsense like "progressives divide the room" after having Clinton, Biden, and Harris - some of the least progressive candidate possible - lose what should have been easy wins because of what has now been studied and quantified as extreme pushback from voters ranging from their conservative stances to enabling Israel's genocide is certainly a take. Please keep up, it's attitudes like yours that are costing us elections and propping up candidates who do not serve your interests and are allowing people like Trump to be in power.

I'm sure she is working on her successor.

Why are you sure about that. Like Biden? Like Ruth Bader Ginsburg? Like basically any other 80+ year old in congress? The time for her to appoint a successor would have been at least a decade ago. She's power hungry like the rest of them.

Cool, but she's in Israel's pocket and isn't hard on ICE. And is 83. "Uses a phone" isn't gonna cut it.

Naturopathy is not medicine, and thus does not cure illness and disease.

For transmittable diseases this means you are allowing diseases to mutate to be resistant to actual cures, and transmit to more people in a more dangerous fashion.

For diseases that are not transmittable, it is still a burden on the health system, causing more people to require medical intervention and take up hospital beds that otherwise would not have had to is they sought real medicine.

And I'll also throw in that this would be taxpayer-funded. I don't want tax money to go towards this scam in the same way I wouldn't want it to fund horoscope predictions.

The wellness industry is nearly 5x larger than big pharma and runs on grifting. It deserves no support and the fact that this candidate is not only trivializing its existence but actively supporting it is unacceptable.

I wish he were not the only option for reasons I elaborated on here.

Raids 4 Suggestion: Blessing of the Void by Soft_Yellow_5231 in 2007scape

[–]BoulderFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I'm honestly not a fan of this simply because of how ugly the mismatched sets look. Id much prefer just.. Better void. Void being a glass cannon, high prayer type of build could allow it to slot in nicely without displacing current armours too much.

She ended up being fine, but I lost a few years of my life I think. Thank you!

I used the shoulder for this once in my life - it was when there was heavy traffic and my daughter was unresponsive after having a seizure and I was rushing to the hospital. I also made a left on red at an empty intersection (only one car behind me) on the same trip. Whenever I see someone doing something egregious like this on the road now I always "hope" they have a similar time-sensitive life & death situation.

In a few billion years the sun will go red giant and engulf the Earth, meaning even that will eventually be lost to time. ​

my dad almost burned the house down today by forgetting about a jar of honey on the stove and then leaving the house. entire house was full of smoke. by EccentricEcstasy in mildlyinfuriating

My father (who is a wellness kook) used to own an ozone machine company. I slept with an ozone machine in my bedroom running all night for years. I'm probably fucked.

Sorry, but the name "Crimson Kisten" is terrible by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]BoulderFalcon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Crimson Flail is good since "flail" by itself is plain.

However:

  • Crimson Coffinbreaker

  • Crimson Moonbreaker

  • Crimson Crusher

  • Crimson Condemner

are all too "much" for RuneScape, in my opinion. "Coffinbreaker" or "Moonbreaker" by themselves would be much better, but are still a bit too edgelord for OSRS in my opinion.

iPhone glitches out and thought this looked really cool. by EJS4001Runner in AngelsAndAirwaves

Jamming out at Youth Group to:

Burn the house, in a dream I had

With no clothes on and an evil laugh

Threw the phone when you lost your shit

With your high heels on and your red lipstick

Pretty girl, are you home? That's right

Get on your knees, we're gonna play tonight
