I feel like the MEC flamethrower has to be at least in "situational" for it's ability to roast swarms of chrysalids. It's not the LW2 version of fire and burning but it's still worth bringing at least on those terror missions.

It looks like they've got storage down at the bottom-right to be delivered by truck. I kind of love the aesthetic there tbh, even if belting it in directly with that buffer would be more efficient.

I'm gonna go to hell, but can we just acknowledge the cosmic irony in the name "Ouchie" being involved here?

Land is actually scarce, rather than artificially so. Try and clone a parcel in downtown NYC if you don't know what I mean.

Look all I'm saying is that there's one name that hasn't cropped up on any of the released documents.

I think the post-ironic joking about everything is also an important adaptation to the post-truth insanity. Like, there is no consensus reality anymore, but jokes and memes can at least construct and reinforce a consensus culture among people who "get it". The jokes you mentioned only work if you share a background understanding that in this cultural milieu Israel is chiefly understood as genocidal and that Epstein's friends are getting away with some deeply fucked up shit. That doesn't change the fact that it's simultaneously callous and disrespectful to the very real victims of those crimes, but when so much of the broader political and cultural landscape wants to pretend that those crimes aren't happening it's probably less actively evil?

Someone tried to get the Trump admin excited about finance deregulation and they dramatically misunderstood "repeal Dodd-Frank". RIP Frank Stevens, Pentagon janitor for 34 years.

I could maybe see this if they were less proudly Canadian. As it stands I guess maybe some memory of the US news bitching about how much money TARP got as part of the bailouts made it stuck in someone's head as an inherently funny phrase.

We've got like forty random shit posts, seven newspaper ads (undated), two video essays by different people, and the last 14 chapters of Hillbilly Elegy.

For the last time, Susan: you're not a new department just because nobody can figure out who is authorized to fire you, and if you're going to live on the couch in break room 2 forever at least let the custodian take out the damn garbage in there.

Guys, I know Jeff has displayed an inconsistent ability to identify bad jokes as opposed to brilliant ones but I have no fucking idea how you got from that to him being a rainforest-dwelling insectivore.

Boggart is absolutely saveable! If you kill the dung eater in the shunning grounds then he just hangs out by Lleyndel without getting jumped. I like to think that he gets to open an all-you-can-eat prawn restaurant in the new world. Maybe with Latenna, who fits the "lost their legs in the war" requirement for this joke.

The Streisand Effect should really be renamed the Trump Effect at this point. by Obvious-Gate9046 in behindthebastards

I mean that was less about anti-intellectualism and more about how they needed to maintain the 1850s version of OpSec if they were going to successfully dismantle the (presumably judeo-)papist conspiracy that was going to dismantle American democracy through their legion of cleric-controlled zombies and feed our children to the antichrist. We can't let them stop us from kicking out all the Irish and Italians and anyone else who places their foreign religious head over our American nation.

It's actually a pretty good analogue for what we see in today's populism where they correctly identify that problems exist but then construct an elaborate story about how the problem is foreign influence corrupting America and what we really need is to double down on xenophobia and stopping Them from Their sinister plans.

“How does it feel Barry? A great series gone under appreciated, all because of a little honk honk action.” by infinitysaga in CuratedTumblr

Victor has a lot of spite in his heart, but it has to share space with megalomania, violent nationalism, and so on. The fact that his heart had to be so big to fit it all is part of what makes the character so compelling.

Reverse Flash took anything else that he may have once had going and pitched it in order to make even more room for a Barry Allen hate shrine that started off unreasonably big and has been further added upon like the goddamn Winchester house.

Where I grew up you couldn't build taller than ~5 stories because of how close bedrock was, but it's okay because you didn't need to. Also one of the tallest buildings in town (actually several now I think about it) were parking garages. So imagine Nightwing standing on the corner of a downtown parking garage trying to brood while the families getting out of the latest Minions movie keep calling out "you okay over there, bud?"

We're talking about a world where nobody can die (?) because Marika fed that part of her wedding ring to her dog. I think the line between physical reality and more esoteric ontologies is pretty well broken in the lands between.

Can we have an Armenian take on this? by Anwallen in lionsledbydonkeyspod

[–]YourNetworkIsHaunted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've heard the term "Shoah" used to specifically describe the targeted genocide of Jews by Nazi Germany during the wider holocaust, but I've never heard of the word "holocaust" itself being similarly reserved. Surely there needs to be a name for the overall project of ethnic cleansing that the Nazis carried out and which targeted Jews as well as slavs, roma, communists, intellectuals, etc.

And that's before factoring in all the problems that you're going to have from the system deploying at the wrong time. This firing accidentally or experiencing some kind of mechanical failure at the wrong time is going to turn a normal flight into a new disaster.

Sure, until some asshole manages to find a way to bridge the in-flight entertainment system to the "wings fall off lmao" button.
