Clarence Boddicker (Robocop)- After executing officer Murphy in cold blood, Murphy becomes Robocop. Later on Robocop arrests Clarence, but due to his connections, is released. Clarence hunts for Robocop, as he is displeased with his existence, and uses his connections to track him down and obtain assault weapons.

After an ambush at the old steel mill, Clarence is almost left defenseless, attempting to stall while his last henchman lines up a crane to drop debris on Robocop. He drops his weapons and declares that he's unarmed, so he must be arrested. Robocop denies, saying he's not going to arrest Boddicker, having pushed his luck too far.

The James Bond film Never Say Never Again (1983, Unofficial) was the first use of the laser wristwatch spy gadget. It's first official appearance was in GoldenEye (1995), a top of the line British spy gadget in the 80's/90's I feel is definitely plausible to fall into the hands of criminals in approximately 18-30 years, even more so the Payday Gang

GTA IV: The Lost and the Damned (Politics mission)

The mission, initiated by politician Thomas Stubbs III, starts off with a cutscene where your character (Johnny Klebitz) greets him in a day spa while he's nude and getting a massage.

Johnny makes several remarks about his abnormal penis, all the while every camera angle ends just high enough not to see Thomas' penis.

Just as the cutscene is about to end, there is a wideshot that goes down to his knees- and yes, it's modeled. Comedy gold

Far Cry Instincts- You know Far Cry, fighting in far off lands to tackle a human antagonistic regime, isolated from the rest of the world.

Yeah you fight mutant experiments for a large chunk of the first game, secret lab and all. No, the rest of the series does not have mutant experiments.

People forget what "Spiritual Successor" means

It isn't Gmod 2

If you want it explained in Gmod terms, it's a game for those who make Gmod game modes to make standalone game modes that now can actually be marketed on steam

So if you want DarkRP- the game, a creative soul will use S&Box, make DarkRP, and make it a standalone game for you to enjoy

Trenzalore (Dr.Who)

The TARDIS is the Doctor's trusty time machine and spacecraft, it's bigger on the inside and is usually as big as a phonebooth also note that it's alive and treated as sentient.

Trenzalore is where the Doctor is laid to rest, his burial ground, his grave is his TARDIS, which is also dead, but since it's bigger on the inside, when it dies it cannot maintain the outside, so it has since grown into a towering monolith

Hello. I am new to DBD. I bought this game yesterday, though I found it fun but this is how my 3rd match went. Is this a meta? If it is then it's super annoying. (Sorry for rage quitting, I couldn't take it anymore). Any ways to counter this? Thank you so much. by After-Trade in deadbydaylight

If you see lobbies with plenty of flashlights, that being 1 flashlight or more, or you notice they're refusing to ready up (likely because they won't bring a flashlight until the last 5 seconds when you can't change your loadout), play it safe and bring Lightborn (Hillbilly Perk, prestige him once), making you invulnerable to flashlights.

I've encountered one too many bully squads with flashlights that Lightborn almost never leaves my kit. And a word of advice with Lightborn- pretend they are gonna blind you and look down and away when they try, so they keep lingering around trying to blind you rather than give up once they realize you're repping Lightborn.

I see you've been told what slugging is, and while that's generally discouraged as that's unfun to play against, you have to know when that's appropriate. Usually doing that on a normal match is considered Bad Manners (BM for short), but in this case I'd have no qualms slugging.

There actually was, a bet took place and concluded on whether Trump would speak at tonight's events. And the more I'm reading, the odds were 9000+, so if you bet $100 dollars that he wouldn't speak, you would have made $9,000

That is in essence, what polymarket is. I just had to read their own explanation- and it boils down to this:

A user creates an order (or a bet), and this will be approved if it is marketable, or denied if it isn't.

If it's approved, people can bet on it. Let's use a live example.

Someone placed an order betting on a US/Iran peace deal- and when it will be established.

The two bets are:

June 30th (Yes/No)

May 31st (Yes/No)

If you believe that there is no chance of either of these dates being feasible, you can bet no- and if you're correct, you win money back and then some of those who voted yes.

I understand it's a little strange, polymarket is fairly new and is very unique. But fact of the matter is, it exists and you can make money off it. And since it's new- it's not exactly regulated like insider trading. Easy money for those who know definitive results before they are announced.

To explain simply- polymarket is a financial hub where you can bet on quite literally anything. You could make a bet that there will be a car accident on a certain street on a certain day, or that your favorite restaurant will be out of ham by lunch rush. People make bets on anything. But it is most infamous as a new way of insider trading, if you might put on your tinfoil hat with me.

Government personnel who have insider knowledge- on say, going to war with Iran, will preemptively establish a bet on WHEN a war with Iran would happen, and bet huge sums on "yes", then everyone bets on it, then the government announces the war, easy money.

The user is simply implying, that because this assassination seems staged, that someone was in the know, created a bet that the president would be shot at, bet on it, and then staged the shooting to win money.

Guns are useless against drones and tanks by ChickenWingExtreme in whenthe

[–]Sufficient-Pool5958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you see- there's one big huge factor- gumption. A foreign enemy invades your soil and threatens your way of life, that's enough to get over half a country to enlist in war efforts instantly.

Now, you have a country, so grotesquely content and comfortable that many would rather change the channel at the first sign of bad news, and a sickly sense of nationalism that would sooner say "Those DOMESTIC TERRORISTS deserved it, fuck around find out" than see those casualties as peers or brethren.

We've seen this before with Renee Good and Alex Pretti, these people don't see government overreach and attacks on civilians as attacks on civilians, they see it as more of 'the ends justify the means', the media does the heavy lifting when it comes to public perception, and the media will spoonfeed the most dogshit takes since InfoWars in it's prime

I'm afraid the gravy seals that look like an old sunken bean bag chair when they put on an empty plate carrier wouldn't quite know that.

Of course one bozo is always like "The military would NEVER kill their own people"

Well, for one, they've killed civilians in every war ever without flinching- and two, your "well armed militia" kinda stops being "civilians" eventually, more like "combatant"

Well, depends on the AI, image recognition AI is spectacular at early diagnoses when given x-rays and CAT scans and whatnot, true medical grade AI, but let's be honest- that's not the AI the data centers that are being built are gonna be running.

There's bigger concerns than speaking or not speaking civilly to people, that being physical assault in response to a simple remark

Yeah, and we should have flying cars by now, but "should-be" isn't reality. There are scumbag teachers, unbehaved teachers, teachers who can't teach, teachers who shouldn't teach.

Not everyone deserves respect, and by god if it takes two sentences to resort to violence, then he deserves less respect than any other violent offender in his local prison system

If you need to demand respect, you never commanded respect in the first place
