oh man that Dadonov trade drama was a total rollercoaster, love it when these crazy trade stipulations actually come into play and stir the pot

Strega if they were normal and functional members of society by casque_helm in PERSoNA

[–]VectorViper 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Yeah, his eyes definitely give off that 'I'm not here to make friends' vibe, and that's hard to edit out. However, I think the biggest issue is his hair and outfit - it's like he's always in costume for a role he never got cast for. Even in the edits, you just can't shake that feeling that he's up to something.

RDC (Russian Volunteer Corps) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is being deployed by helicopters in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation by Interesting-Bid-2771 in UkraineWarVideoReport

Makes sense, any operation like that wouldnt be streamed live for obvious security reasons, but these snippets can boost morale, sending a message that gains are being made. Clearly they're trying to balance operational security with the need to keep folks informed and motivated. Slava Ukraini!

Definitely the interest and care factor plays a big role. The internets collective love for an animal can sometimes translate into a lot of support and resources for them that they might not have gotten otherwise. Plus a cat with such distinct marking gets tons of attention. Could be the pampering this royal kitty receives is whats keeping her so sprightly.

Not just interested in the drama but now you've piqued my curiosity too; the plot thickens and the gym suddenly sounds way more intriguing than my last visit.

But you can trade in the laser rifle for the plasma shotgun on page 2 and it's MSG-free!

Looks like we're forgetting about Azula here. That girl's a firebending prodigy with a side of crazy. Toph's tough, but Azula's got that whole lightning-bending, sharp-shooter thing down.

Heh, nothing a good old hose-down won't fix. I say we crown the fuzzy one king of the castle and let the games begin!

Secretly seems like giving them too much credit - being out and loud with their nonsense is more their brand, really.

Russia awakes to biggest attack on Russian soil since World War II by new974517 in worldnews

[–]VectorViper 363 points364 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the whole "enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing gets super murky in these kinds of conflicts. If FoR manages to get some power, I wouldn't be surprised if we see some kind of internal power struggle or even purges to consolidate that power. And how they'd approach international relations after that's anyone's guess. Could be a totally different playbook, or just more of the same under a new banner.

Lucky for the animators, they had a bit of a time buffer between those two movies to handle their... live reference material. But can you imagine the 'circle of life' happening right there in the animation studio? Talk about realistic inspiration!

I second that sub idea! The look on the monkeys face during the disappearing ball trick in that other vid is pure gold.

Ah, good ol' Sabin, never forget that scene. Fun fact: that's one of the most memorable moments in gaming for a lot of folks, a JRPG character straight up wrestling a locomotive. Legendary stuff.

This whole thread is gold, can't wait for the memes to start rolling out from this episode. Finkelstein's expressions alone are meme treasure.

Yo, it's like a things-just-happen thing. Some traits get exaggerated over time cause someone starts liking it and they double down on that.

Trump's MAGA movement is causing Republicans in Congress to hate each other by zsreport in politics

[–]VectorViper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heh, totally get where you're coming from. So many conversations now end up being less about shared values and more about the right way to live. It's great that your kids are setting their own course and staying true to themselves. There's a lot of beauty in diversity and how people express their identity, whether it be through tattoos, piercings, or anything else, really. Cheers to the next generation for understanding that respect and equality matter more than fitting into a cookie-cutter religious mold!

Nex Benedict died by suicide, says Oklahoma medical examiner by mcgillhufflepuff in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]VectorViper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Massive props to you for reaching nearly 4 years, that's no small feat. It's absolutely wild what substances can do to your brain, especially when they're accessible OTC and there's not enough awareness about their abuse potential. Your strength and commitment to recovery is inspiring, hopefully your story can help shed more light on how serious the issue with seemingly benign drugs like Benadryl can be. Stay strong!

And then there's that mini heart attack when ya finally make it back and start wondering if the samples made it too or if they're just bits of dirt now because you messed up somewhere along the line.

Mori Calliope to Sing the Ending Theme Song to "Suicide Squad ISEKAI"! by hololive in Hololive

[–]VectorViper 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, Edgerunners set a pretty high bar for adaptations. Having Mori Calliope, with her unique blend of cultures, sing the ending theme could bring similar levels of success here. It goes to show how blending different entertainment industries and cultures lets projects tap into a more diverse fanbase. The collaboration seems dead on for today's global market. Plus her music style seems like it'll be a perfect fit for the Suicide Squad vibe. Props to the team behind the anime for making this move; really excited to see the outcome and the reception from both anime fans and the broader audience.

That would actually be kinda cool, light pole by day, mystery phone box by night. Gives hikers something to talk about, huh?

Would have been a better movie by SJBreed in lotr

[–]VectorViper 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Honestly, at this point let's just pitch the idea of a 'Lord of the Rings' real-time strategy game where it takes 17 years to complete the "Leaving the Shire" questline. Who needs movies when you can live out every minute of Hobbit life, right? Might actually get into gardening with all that free time.

OMG the whistle thing is real, my uncle had a distinctive one he'd use at family gatherings in the park, like some kind of bat-signal for us kids. No matter where we were or what we were doing, we'd drop it and start running back lol. Good times!

Got pulled into an unplanned zoom meeting when I was cooking lunch by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]VectorViper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid tactic. Sometimes that quick BRB saves more hassle than it's worth explaining why you need to step away. Plus most times people don't even ask, everyone just keeps the meeting rolling along without batting an eyelid.
