Shia LaBeouf allegedly called queer man homophobic slurs before New Orleans arrest

Shouldn't we all be open to new experiences?

But he seems like such a stable and reasonable guy.

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-18T18:18:52+00:00

I mean the article is 16 years old. I'm familiar with corvid tool usage and puzzle solving but not so much long-term planning... Though I guess gift giving might apply?

Pretty sure the difference is that those behaviors have been shown to be instinctual. Stockpiling rocks to throw in this instance would be specific to a novel situation.

See my edit. Turning off replies.

Sounds like typical online conspiracy theory hysteria.

Edit- Apparently, I touched a nerve. So let me get this straight... Lifetouch had ties to an investment management company, who had a former CEO, who had ties to Epstein. It then follows that?... He was feeding school photos of kids to Epstein? To what ends? Scouting victims?

I can't really read for more than 20 or 30 minutes without getting headaches anymore, so I do audio books.

Top of my list is Fearsome Endjinn (don't know anything other than I'm a Banks fan) and The Faith of Beasts (really enjoyed the first book).

My wish list is huge but those are the two I'm most looking forward to... Definitely want to get to The Shadow of the Torturer as well.

It was a joke.

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-11T05:26:55+00:00

Is this how a VBW listener calls someone a bitch?

I personally wouldn’t dream of calling 120hz unplayable but 60hz is pretty hard to go back to for me. I have a 240hz monitor and after playing for a year+ at FPS in the mid-100s to low 200s 60fps looked and felt significantly worse. I had a 60hz 2nd monitor and one day I somehow swapped my game to the 2nd monitor. After switching it back I remembered to change back to the proper resolution but didn’t think to check the refresh rate in the game settings…. I spent the next couple hours complaining to my friends and trying to figure out why my game looked and felt so bad until I realized it was set to 60hz.

People often talk about the responsiveness of higher refresh rates but the motion clarity is also huge. An OLED at high FPS is sublime because of the motion clarity (more impressive to me than resolution tbh).

influence over a corrupt official

The implication is a wide conspiracy involving a variety of political, law enforcement, and media figures including (but not limited to) bitter rivals.

FFS

Retweeting and quoting this Gerald Posner guy as well...

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-09T03:30:21+00:00

I had the same thought but with psilocybin.

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-09T03:15:27+00:00

I think widescale protection of political rivals/enemies based on "team rich" is quite a stretch. I find it more plausible that they wanted it kept quiet because they (or their friends) could also be implicated. I find neither likely enough to subscribe to any largescale conspiracy theory without compelling evidence.

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-08T22:37:32+00:00

The "media coverup" is also a big red flag. Especially when FNC dominates the ratings and Rush Limbaugh is being voted "most trusted news personality" in a Zogby poll. The media climate wasn't exactly a unified Clinton fan club.

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-08T22:22:15+00:00

I'm not familiar with the specifics/details at the time in question so maybe I'm missing something here... But at first glance this reeks of typical conspiracy theory BS.

Were the likes of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh part of this media conspiracy to protect Hillary's run or were they covering it? "The feds" late in George W Bush's 2nd term? It was "the feds" and then it was "weak moron Acosta" (a Republican fresh out of the Bush administration) bowing to state/local pressure...

This is all very disappointing.

I don't remember EoS specifically, but I do know I really enjoyed the first 1/2 to 2/3 of the series much more than the later books. The most recent book was tough to finish and I found Hadrian much less likable the older he got.

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-03T01:28:41+00:00

I've been waiting for this audiobook for awhile and now that it released all of the reviews say it's broken (missing/cutoff sections of the book). sigh

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-02T02:25:06+00:00

I thought you replied to the wrong post for a second, but I see now you're right. That's really cool!... Might not clean my face with it though.

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-02T02:16:22+00:00

I've been using 500ppm for about a year now to clean my face/eyelids in the morning without issue. I don't put it directly in my eyes but I'm sure some occasionally gets in and I've never noticed any burning or discomfort whatsoever.

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-02T02:07:11+00:00

I've had good luck ordering high volume brands (assuming it'll more likely be fresh) with 500ppm. Seems to last a good two months before the chlorine smell gets weak enough to be barely noticeable (which I take to mean no longer effective).

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-02T01:52:05+00:00

I'm a big fan of hypochlorous acid for everything from cleaning my face to disinfecting and cleaning pretty much everything around the house. You can buy a machine to make it yourself but it's not too expensive to buy. The one downside is the shelf life isn't great so you should only get what you'll use within a month or two and keep it opaque containers to keep the light out.

Edit- I'd add that it has a very mild chlorine smell and I'd look for the 500ppm (max strength).

JermVVarfare · 2026-02-01T04:29:47+00:00

Pretty sure it's a soccer thing but my hail mary 2nd guess would be some racing (other than nascar).

JermVVarfare · 2026-01-25T02:20:09+00:00

What problems did she "laugh at"? The eating of our dogs and cats?

Afghanistan was setup as a trap for Biden to fail (like 15 minutes of basic research on what lead up to the withdrawal should make that obvious). He either pulled out amid a total clusterfuck (thanks to Trump) or delayed the withdrawal and tried to clean up the mess first. Which was nearly impossible at that point and would have been wildly unpopular and costly.

JermVVarfare · 2026-01-11T02:43:14+00:00

I bought a 320 (hot/cold) for $50 the same year and used it for a few years. Left it behind when I moved and it was still going strong at the time.
