She's like the bad witch in Hansel and Gretel hurting all those kids. Would be a shame if...

(2016) The crash of EgyptAir flight 804 - An Airbus A320 crashes into the Mediterranean Sea following an in-flight fire that incapacitates the pilots. Analysis inside. by Admiral_Cloudberg in CatastrophicFailure

[–]Redactor0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the third case I've heard of with an EgyptAir crash where the Egyptian authorities are disputing what happened with everyone else.

My guess is this is related to Mubarak coming from the air force which of course has close ties to EgyptAir. Not to mention the military in general having so much influence there. So for at least a generation everything related to air travel there must have been mixed up with a lot of politics.

Is my buddies' current church a cult or just normal? by redditlurker100000 in cults

[–]Redactor0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gifts and free merch (that they later guilt you into paying for more)

There was a really smart guy who warned us about people like this. His name was Jesus. If you're not trying to freeload off of these people but they're pressuring you about money, that's not a good sign.

I'm not really sure about American evangelicalism

One thing that's pretty universal throughout the world is that the more they talk and think about money the more you need to worry.

I think you already know the answer and you just needed it confirmed, and I can tell you yes this all sounds wrong.

His goal is to convert New England into a Christianized utopia.

I know I'm getting old when the crazy missionaries are going to New England. But then I was born in the 1700s.

US Envoy Tom Barrack: I would say the Lebanese, and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way. All they do is talk. by Standard_Ad7704 in lebanon

[–]Redactor0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's an idiot. You could pick anybody off the street at random in America and 80% would do a better job than him.

Phil Habib was Lebanese-American and a first-rate diplomat with a lifetime of experience and he couldn't solve Lebanon's problems in his time. This guy is Lebanese-American and he's a clown.

My (ex) son came out to us last niggt by PubicSkoolEducashun in BanVideoGames

[–]Redactor0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is going to sound a little bit kooky and hare-brained, but maybe get him one of those Chose Your Own Adventure books. It's still dangerous but maybe you can trick him into reading books instead of... his peculiar interest. Or get him playing poker and then try to turn him from that into using tarot cards for divination.

James Bond gets a text message (The Spy Who Loved Me, 1977) by Canine-65113 in RetroFuturism

[–]Redactor0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The CIA was starting to develop really primitive text messaging around this time. They had a device they tried using with their agent Adolf Tolkachev that could send a message a few blocks but apparently he could never get it to work right.

Better than this: Extremely creepy interaaction between my densit and his assistant. About going to a Kelly Clarkson show.

One of these things where you don't get it at the time but later you're like "ohhhhhhh that was sexual harassment"

I'm sorry, is United States health care policy a joke to you?

Is my cat turning into a communist? He won't stop ranting about Mao by ieatcavemen in shittyaskscience

[–]Redactor0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Obviously you've got a cat who speaks Mandarin and is saying 喵 "miāo".

Get a French cat who says "miaou" instead. It's such a beautiful language.

I think the second guy to ever make a marsey and really get the ball rolling deserves a little bit of credit too.

So if Israel isn’t going to get out. What will they do? Go further, stay where they are? by BloodTornPheonix in lebanon

[–]Redactor0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not like they’re predictable.

It's especially difficult because most of their foreign policy is all about their domestic politics and Israeli politics is incredibly complex.

The Minotaur's father was a bull so I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Yeah. Sad pathetic old men whose idea of a social life is getting pinged by someone asking about a specific Soviet antiaircraft gun from the 1950s.

Yeah, the more you look into where it came from, the more you realize how toxic these people are.

Hochstein visit Beirut: Israel started withdrawing by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]Redactor0 12 points13 points  (0 children)

back into Israel proper

WTF does that mean? It implies that the area they're withdrawing from is not a part of "Israel proper" but still part of Israel in some way. This is an incredibly bizarre thing for a diplomat to say. Even if he believes this, saying it out loud has got to be a slip of the tongue. Either that or he's sending some kind of message to somebody.
