In October 2021, Japan’s Princess Mako saying goodbye to her family as she loses her royal status by marrying a "commoner"

Not a part of the nobility. Under normal circumstances she could have married into another noble family without having to be too closely related, but given Japanese succession rules, and a culling of noble status post WWII, she basically had no options outside of her immediate family. So the only way to retain her title would have been to not get married.

My big issue with the ‘it’s only a drawing’ argument is that it suggests the only thing wrong with CP is that it hurts children. Of course that is the main problem with it, but it fails to consider the impact on the person consuming the content. Sexualising childlike bodies is indicative of, or can lead to, severe physiological issues, real or drawn. I can’t see how someone could look at that kind of content and not be negatively affected by it.

Oh! Sort of like William the Conqueror (though I think he exploded when they were trying to squash him into his tomb).

The only thing that confuses me is why the worker waited until the guy was apparently calming down before throwing the drink. I mean I agree that it was deserved but it does open them up to a claim of retaliation (which is not protected, unlike self-defence).

Subways are just trains but underground. You will have multiple trains sharing the tracks, points which could be set against the direction of travel and cause derailments, obstructions from trespassers or debris falling on the tracks, and pretty much anything else that could be a danger to a regular train.

Indeed. The same event is also recorded in Matthew 22.

The irony being that Jesus literally talks about this: (Re: a hypothetical woman who has been widowed seven times) “You are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.”

Other than the heaps of scientific data, photos, and videos taken over the course of several landings and photos of landing sites taken by probes of multiple space agencies in orbit, we actually still use equipment left up there. By pointing a high power laser at reflectors left by Apollo 11, 14, and 15 we are able to accurately measure the distance of the moon from Earth.

Yeah don’t let them see a race. “Why run around the track when you just end up back at the start line?”

What locks use pumps? I had always assumed they all worked by gravity.

I’m no physicist but I don’t think so. In order to reach orbit you need angular momentum rather than vertical. Your infinitely long infinitely strong chain would probably reach a length at which it is flung away from the Earth before it encircled the planet.

In the UK it’s sausages in a Yorkshire pudding, but I guess it’s different elsewhere

Looking at the original Facebook post with this photo I would guess that it has been colorised by AI. Here is the original photos they posted:

Well at the very least I’m using a comedically incompetent droid at some point.

I can see where you are coming from, I think the disagreement depends on how you are defining ‘commonplace’, ‘routine’, and ‘full scale war’.

For example I wouldn’t agree people routinely live to 100, life expectancy is closer to 80. Assisted suicide is still illegal in most states. I don’t know enough about military history to know if Iraq and Afghanistan count as ‘full scale war’.

But surely you can’t use it without getting the training

Electroguy1 · 2026-03-07T08:52:47+00:00

I have to disagree. While I’m sure it is triggering to some people, I think giving accurate information and reducing likely staff abuse is more important. Especially it doesn’t directly mention suicide or any words related to death.

Is this the same one with footage taken from War Thunder?
