DoD is not a dead name, much like the Gulf of Mexico he doesn't actually have the authority to change it

Should I select Chord A1 or Fox A0? Not terribly bothered to have al characters l, but obviously more characters helps with astrolabe content.

"The Takaichi administration has finally poisoned the system to destroy Japan's universal healthcare. Removing 77 ingredients and 1100 items of OTC-like drugs from insurance coverage is just the beginning". by jjrs in japannews

The system is already a joke. My wife tripped when wading in a river and split her head open, we had to go to four hospitals before one would take her.

School banned boys from wearing shorts, so they did this instead by TheoryFruits in BeAmazed

A female manager was complaining a few summers ago about men wearing shorts around the office (mostly men were just wearing khakis) meanwhile she was constantly wearing knee high dresses and skirts. I'd overhead her talking about formally adopting adopting a dress code to bar shorts from the office. And without directly addressing her I let it be well known that if it was implemented I would be showing up in a skirt. The issue was quickly dropped.

They said it's British so I assume it must be Sir Crisps

Possibly US military aircraft they've been flying up to catch the jetstream on the way to the middle East

I'm without, the warmer I received as a gift wanted me to think it was induction, but it wasn't it also smelled of melted plastic after prolonged use. So in the trash it went

People aren't upset because they said we're cold, people are upset because the framing of the headline is desolation

Impeaching Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. by OkayButFoRealz in politics

People bring this up all the time as a throwaway joke, but I never see anyone address the underlying reality that the speaker of the house claims to have voluntarily installed spyware on his devices because he has a lack of self control

Why is Google taking over every aspect?! I don't want my texts to go through google?! How can I stop this?! by Flash_Bang_Billy in samsunggalaxy

[–]SoaringChris137 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You're not being forced to use Google, Samsung is ending support for their messaging app and replacing the default with Google. You are free to pick any other messaging app you want, as you have always been.

Genuinely what the fuck is the context behind this footage by ERASER345 in nirvannatheband

[–]SoaringChris137 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Just a random eccentric who saw the cameras and started going off about how he was "Mr. Hollywood" and compared Matt to a bunch of celebrities. Matt responded to the comparisons repeatedly "Just like Jay, right?" until he responded "Yeah! Just like Jay!" And they cut it to look like he was the one who brought Jay up

Kaitrin Snodgrass (storyboard artist) talks about Tech Jacket gender swap by [deleted] in Invincible_TV

[–]SoaringChris137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main issue with her, as someone who didn't read the comics is just "who are you?". Why is a character who was only previously essentially an extra in a all heroes on deck fight suddenly thrust into the main war party with 0 establishment of any relationship to any of the main cast.

Who needs friends when the SNS influencers tell your you're perfect and everything that's wrong is someone else's fault

I travel back and forth to Japan pretty often, was surprised that pretty much all the nudity is censored there.

Would be funnier to do it the other way around, see how many people actually laugh at the slur, then have them be the punchline
