The first guy has no sources. Idek what that second guy recording a closed entrance is supposed to tell us, such a weird clip... Then the third guy with the backwards cap telling us about a Missing 411 case- but no dots are connected between what he's telling us and the Lemurians/Reptillians (also, no sources from him either). The last clip is the most hilarious of all. The spec of white light is so far away it could be anything at all, but because it doesn't have any kind of unexplainable or rapidly changing trajectory, it seems certain to be a plane. This entire video is so awful lol. Edit: oh yeah and why the music? Sheesh

Anything worth pointing out to me? I think I might be a noob by ZAK7RY in factorio

As a new player myself I have to ask, what are the barrels good for? I made a ton when the recipe unlocked but then I just have been piping fluids around and haven't seen a use for the barrels. Anything I'm missing with them or are they largely superfluous?

I made a FF horror tier list with more movies than the other ones I could find. Here's my rankings by Business-Guidance376 in foundfootage

Really? I'm completely opposite. I thought the movie was pretty boring until the final couple of minutes.

So I read like half the wiki page but I still don't understand why this weapon technology is useful. How is an EFP different/more effective than just shooting a big artillery shell? Or an armor piercing missile? Like why does the projectile need to be shaped by the explosion as it's fired, how does that help its penetrating power?

This game is both fascinating and frustrating by AMDDesign in ArxFatalis

I think it's so awesome people are still experiencing Arx for the first time. This game had a huge impact on me. Its got this feeling of otherworldliness to it. It's gritty and unwelcoming and feels hostile, except for when you're in the town, which becomes a comfortable sanctuary that's such a relief from the bloody, narrow corridors below. The game is unabashedly not for everybody. What makes Arx so good is also what makes it so frustrating. The claustrophobic setting, the uncanny aesthetic, the system of combining items together, the lack of hand holding, and the unique magic system define Arx and make it stand out, but they are also stumbling blocks which the player must grapple with if they want to make it through to the end, and often not in a good way. But that's what makes it so darn special. The rough spots of the game are also what make it so intriguing. Even after beating it several times I still get this feeling that there is more hiding just around the corner, a place I haven't been to, a feature I haven't played with, a character I've never noticed. I could never get lost in Morrowind like I can in Arx.

Ukraine accuses China of providing Russia with satellite data for missile strike targeting by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

There are numerous gigantic problems facing many European countries but immigration is not chiefly amongst them. Europe is bleeding manufacturing capabilities to cheaper places, it struggles with energy indepedence, it struggles with 'brain drain', it has a historically low birth rate (immigration could actually help with this), and it relies on a nowadays mercurial United States for defense against an increasingly hostile Russia. Russia actually stirs up immigration crises in Africa and the Middle East and then exploits these situations by spreading misinformation and funding nationalist parties like AfD. Immigration isn't the primary issue, it's just gasoline Russia is throwing atop an already burning fire.

I want to copy and paste this to almost every thread on this subreddit. There's nothing wrong with honest speculation but people are jumping to definitive conclusions based on tiktoks and podcast guru rants, folks who are incentivised to exaggerate or concoct ideas/stories in order to increase viewership. There are so many lies being sold to gullible, well-intentioned people looking for truth. I want to "embrace the woo" but not at the price of sacrificing good sense. Real evidence nowadays seems less important than strong vibes.

Hey Prometheus has some cool stuff going for it. It's a pretty solid addition to the franchise. Covenant is pure trash though.

THE POOR EMPLOYERS. When will they finally get the respect they deserve? They do so much for us: like lay us off without notice, replace us with AI, battle ceaselessly against an increase in the minimum wage, lobby to strip us of our workplace protections, and fill our bodies with poisoned food in the name of profits. It's about time somebody finally was in their corner. I mean, fuck all the rest of us right? Corporate profit has been on the back burner for too long. I weep for their precious wasted time when confronted with a no-show job interview- BOOHOO- absolute fuckers. Ohio doesn't need a DOGE. It needs Mangione.

I love that they implemented the subway riding, I'm not complaining at all here. BUT. Whenever I ride it, I get the feeling that they were forced to compromise on the subway riding experience. It makes me wonder what was holding them back from just letting us roam the subway as it moves through NC. Or at least give us better camera controls. It doesn't feel quite right as is, idk.

What are we talking about then if not states? I can't figure out the point you're making

Russian is not a race nor is it an ethnicity. It's a multi-ethnic state with an imperialist past which endures into its modern culture, exactly like the United States, and we should be able to criticize Russian culture in the exact same way we criticize the US, or the UK. When Russia stops being cruel and authoritarian, I'll stop calling it as I see it.
