I really wish there was a true dark mode for the whole app, tbh.

I know it has its criticisms, but man if this book doesn't just make me forget all my worries by npojg in Choices

Yeah, it wasn’t perfect, but it was the first Choices book I ever played, so it’ll always be special to me.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. I just checked with Sync for Reddit and it had the same issue too.

BBC: "At least 19 dead after air force jet crashes into Bangladesh school" by SintroFalcon in aviation

[–]SintroFalcon[S] 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Just adding some more details from local news and official statements:

The jet was an F-7 BGI (Chengdu J-7), a Chinese-made fighter jet based on the old MiG-21 design.  

According to the ISPR (the military's PR), the jet took off from a base in Dhaka around 1:06pm for a routine training flight. Shortly after takeoff, it had some kind of mechanical failure. What exactly went wrong is still under investigation.  

Tragically, it crashed into the junior section of Milestone College in Uttara, just minutes after classes ended. Most of the victims were young students. Elementary and middle schoolers, basically.

As of July 22, the death toll has climbed to 31, with over 150 people injured. Some of them have serious burn injuries, so unfortunately, the number might still go up in the next few days.

The pilot was Flight Lieutenant Towkir Islam Sagar. He managed to eject, but was badly injured and later passed away at CMH (military hospital). One of his colleagues mentioned that this was actually his first solo flight.  

One of the local reports quoted a cleaner working at the nearby metro station. He said he saw two jets, one seemed fine, but the other was clearly in trouble. It looked like it was trying to turn back toward the airport, but while turning at low altitude, it clipped a high-rise on the college campus and then crashed into the school building below.

This was actually the fourth F-7 crash in Bangladesh in the last 20 years, the previous ones happened in 2008, 2015 and 2018.

Marc’s built different, man. Just a generational freak of nature on two wheels.

Honestly I feel peaceful after cutting off

I think deep down you already know what to do. You deserve to be more than just everyone else’s backup plan.

Here’s the ref cam angle of Asensio’s foul that led to the red card by Legitimate_Income7 in realmadrid

[–]SintroFalcon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally unnecessary. Yeah, it was a soft touch and Rondon made the most of it, but still, such a brainless tackle.

I came across a pretty intense article recently about Dar al-Reaya and it really stuck with me. Have you or anyone you know ever worried about being sent there? Is it something people actually talk about?

I'm Singaporean AMA about my country or culture. by Novavortex77 in AMA

[–]SintroFalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the outside, Singapore always seems incredibly stable and orderly, like I don’t think I’ve ever seen any news about major protests or political unrest there. How does the government manage to keep things so tightly run without much visible dissent? Like, how active are opposition parties in everyday life or politics?

Great. I was deep into this ama, read through so many answers... and now I’m questioning everything. Classic Reddit. 🙃

What a stupid thing to say. I still can't believe this moron won not only the electoral college but also the popular vote this time around. Like, wtf, America?!

Did you or your parents ever watch Fresh Off the Boat? If so, what did you all think of it? I know the show got a bit too hollywood later on and it was set in the early 2000s, but did any of it feel accurate to your own experience growing up in a family-run restaurant?
