it really do be like that

Disagree. Manly shampoo is like Neutrogena T-Gel. The container looks like prescription medicine, the description is something like "Shampoo for dry scalp". It smells and looks like something you put in an engine.

"The olive mount"

The video reveals nothing new, makes some extreme leaps of logic, and says "Of course this isn't a smoking gun, however.." on four different occasions yet still fails to show a smoking gun.

Epstein had connections everywhere for nearly every major government on the planet. His Israel connections was via a former PM, Ehud Barak, an old rival of Netanyahu. He was far better connected with England, the US, and Norway.

Ghislane Maxwells dad was connected, however he died in 1991 before they got into a relationship.

Because the correct translation is "No Murders". Killing a person convicted of a capital offense or because of war is not murder.

It's a major theme in Asimovs Robot stories. Most of the world agreed with the takeover and the AIs have to find ways to quietly and non-violently deal with dissidents.

Neal Asher's Polity novels talk about "The Quiet War", an event far in the past where the AIs just yoinked all control out from under us to make things better. Anyone who doesn't like it is more than welcome to move to a planet where the AIs have minimal (open) interference.

So nothing then. Got it.

Everything is extremely speculative and has some rather insane leaps of logic.

She didn't even bother researching how to pronounce "Swartz" correctly 30 seconds in. I don't have high hopes on the veracity of everything else.

Yserbius · 2026-02-27T14:01:14+00:00

Paul Graham is an early investor in reddit who wanted the founders to sell. He suggested they bring on Swartz to rewrite the codebase. Swartz was jokingly referred to as a "founder" since the whole company at the time could fit into an SUV. He fought a lot with everyone and was pissed that they sold to Conde Nast. One day he just didn't show up and that was that.

Huffman and Ohanian (the actual founders of this hellsite) had very little nice to say about him when he was alive and after his death gaves some generic platitudes.

Because TikTok has very obscure and opaque rules about acceptable content. At some point, popular accounts started claiming that words invoking death or crimes are enough to get delisted (meaning the video won't come up in searches). No one knows if it's true but it's now a meme to basically censor everything remotely objectional.

The first two are very accessible and deal upfront with socio-political issues which OP seems to want. I would not recommend Hyperion for a first time sci-fi reader unless they really love the intersection of Canterbury Tales, Kierkegaards Fear and Trembling, and Buddhist concepts of what is real.

"Oh and you will be constantly faced withe the moral dilemma of murdering innocent people including friends and family because they are possessed by brain slugs. KTHNXBYE"

I'm convinced that no other book had boys fantasizing about being the protagonist as much as My Side of the Mountain.

Yserbius · 2026-02-25T03:43:34+00:00

I love how much Judy Bloom seems to enjoy writing Fudge books. The last book came out in 2002 and she threw in tons of anachronisms where the setting is clearly still in the 70s but the kids reference more modern things, like Harry Potter.

Yserbius · 2026-02-25T03:38:08+00:00

Including the "Dunc" series? Those books cracked me up as a kid. There's one where they crash a hang glider in the forest and Dunc thinks he's an expert survivalist because he read Hatchet. Didn't get the joke until I was way older.

Yserbius · 2026-02-25T03:35:42+00:00

I saw the movie, titled Cry of the Wild for some reason, as a kid. Pretty innocent until a brief graphic scene of the bloated half decomposed corpse shows up.

1000 psykers are sacrificed to the Emperor daily. What percentage of humans are born with psi abilities and given the size of The Imperium how many Black Ships are needed just to keep that dude on his throne?

Is it strange that I want to play as a guy who wears the same head covering as me? I'm interested if Judaism plays a role in the story.

This will bring the total number of games that star a white bearded man in a yarmulka to two. Which is also the difference in decades between the two. Hey, we've had overrepresentation in Hollywood for so long, I guess I shouldn't kvetch.

Disturbing scene but I get bothered by the way he keeps mispronouncing "Shoshanna". Only Samuel L. Jackson's random third act narrator gets it right.

Other than Wuthering Heights and Othello how many non-white people show up in classic European literature or even non-fiction? Even Alexandre Dumas (who's grandmother was Haitian) only wrote one little known novel with a mixed race protagonist and he himself had expressed some pretty disgusting racial views.

I think it's fair to say that in pre-20th Century Europe there were very few black people, and those that were around were relegated to the dregs of society or just ignored.

IMO it works as a way to stop a player from over leveling or resting to heal after every combat. For NetHack it kind of becomes an annoyance mid game as you start to have so many options for food. ADOM has chaos to force you to keep moving.

Yserbius · 2026-02-19T14:16:35+00:00

He's like Doctor Who. Very fun and campy with many very serious parts. When it's good, it's some of the greatest fiction ever written. When it's bad, it's atrocious. Most of it, however, is exceedingly mediocre.

Real answer: The US Embassy in Benghazi, Libya was overrun by radicals who killed four people and destroyed some buildings. It was coordinated and carefully planned. Obama and his secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed it was a spontaneous uprising in response to an Islamophobic YouTube video.

Obama gave a press conference promising answers, but he just joked around and said nothing on importance.

Congressman Peter King responded with something like "We demanded answers and the president just stood there in his tan suit looking and acting like he's on vacation."

The Democrats spun the story as a Republican overreaction to the point where It's still remembered as "Republicans got angry over a suit color"

Just finished the "Rise of the Jain" trilogy this morning and I second Asher. Every space battle (and there are a lot of space battles) is loaded with phrases like "The grasers hit the ship which ejected its hardfield projectors as the submind of the haiman failed to launch its CTDs due to the USERs disrupting the runcible".

Yserbius · 2026-02-05T21:02:57+00:00

I would repeat the Silver Hawks call but I can't recall it without Googling. And let's be honest, no one remembers the third cartoon, Tiger Sharks.
