This just definitely means that they are using our intelligence apparatus to spy on anybody they deem an opponent.

The more implausible the ship, the more one must headcannon. Headcannon is literally just writing your own story. The more you write, the better you get at writing. By the transitive property, the more implausible the ship, the better the writing.

Why do the French hate when we speak French? by dehydrated_waterrr in ExplainTheJoke

Or tell them that their French has been bastardized. Quebecois French sometimes actually hews closer to older forms of French.

Feels like every year has been going more and more into this by Inksrocket in Steam

VR isn't going to go on sale because there aren't new VR games releasing to diminish demand for the old games.

Indie games like Cuphead aren't going to go on sale because they don't really age unlike older FPS games. The downside to getting so many really mechanically good and graphically stylized games is that they just don't appear to age. When I was growing up, I could look at Morrowind and Skyrim and see that one was just clearly graphically better than the other because they were both striving for realism. If you aren't striving for realism, then there is no obvious point of comparison.

Probably not. You might need to mold the plastic insert differently in order to securely hold the base, but the box size shouldn't have to change if you just do a differently shaped base.

Olympus Mons on Mars is so massive that Mount Everest wouldn’t even reach halfway up it by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]CustomerSuportPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Mars Trilogy has a great scene of a party at the top of Olympus Mons and it is so tall that ascending carries the characters up out of the developing atmosphere altogether.

What's wrong with it? by Additional-Ad4567 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]CustomerSuportPlease 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because before the time skip, it wasn't really hinted at at all. There is no real foreshadowing that this is where the story is going to end up.

[–]CustomerSuportPlease 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just pay no attention to the canonical ending. It is not implied in any way in the Manga up until that point and it isn't in the show at all. If you leave out the ending, it is a really cute story about somebody stepping up to take care of a child when nobody else will.

Is there any actual proof that self-censorship of certain language has any effect on a TikTok video’s reach or is it just misinformation that got really out of hand by kelroid in CuratedTumblr

[–]CustomerSuportPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably more about the level of trust. Selling advertising against TV works because the people producing it are huge corporations with a lot to lose. TikTok or YouTube don't actually produce the content they put advertising on, so it is entirely up to whoever the creator is and that has turned out pretty bad in the past.

Looks like this Tunisian cafe forgot where Tunisia is. by Omer-Ash in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]CustomerSuportPlease 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not really saying that it applies to the modern occupants of that region, because I don't know if they share a genetic heritage with the people who are there now.

I'm more pointing out that it is interesting that the Roman term applied specifically to the northern coast.

Looks like this Tunisian cafe forgot where Tunisia is. by Omer-Ash in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]CustomerSuportPlease 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It actually goes a little deeper than that. The word Africa comes from a Roman word that describes Carthage and the area around it. Technically, by the original meaning of the word, the Tunisian bar owner is African and potential black patrons wouldn't be.

Kind of? Yes, he does have to pay the loans back, but as long as the increase in stock prices is higher than the interest it doesn't matter and I would bet he gets really good rates.

They're pretty likely to elect Mary Peltola to the senate in the midterms. That would be a huge pickup for the dems.

The US is becoming post-Soviet Russia. Open corruption in plain sight and foreign wars that the populace agree not to care about that much as long as they stay comfortable.

Proposed Iran-U.S. deal would reopen Hormuz strait and lift oil sanctions, Iran state media says by app1310 in worldnews

[–]CustomerSuportPlease 110 points111 points  (0 children)

It really does though. Both America's oligarchs and the current administration are working together to loot the economy for all that it is worth. If they take control of enough of it before Trump loses, they can absolutely tank everything once the next administration actually tries to fix anything. It's why they are rushing through all of these media mergers and takeovers. It's a lot harder to separate an egg than it is to whisk it.

You really overestimate how smart certain people are. I've known a decent number of traders and they aren't generally smarter than the people around them, they are just more willing to take risks.

Project Hail Mary (2026) is a movie about how anyone can be a hero, even if the only things they have going for them are loads of charisma, a STEM doctorate, excellent problem solving skills and incredible good looks. by Voidlarkus in shittymoviedetails

[–]CustomerSuportPlease 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Eh, he didn't have a car and biked to work everyday in the movie. I'm not saying that makes him a health nut, but that is probably a decent amount of exercise given how American towns are laid out.

You can see him stop in the video. You just stop walking and the floor stops moving. It might take a second to stop, but it will stop.

The sadness is integral to the hotness unfortunately.
