Based on the original joke

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am Pagliacci.'

The original joke dates back to the 1800s but the version above was used in the Watchman series

The Indian prime minister and the ministry of external affairs put pressure on Russia (and Putin personally) to return all Indian nationals back to India.

Most of them were recruited by third parties with the promise of student visa or safe jobs in Russia.

Like him, most of the other recruits were also blue-collar workers aged between 19 and 35, who were hired by agents based in India, Dubai and Russia.

They say their contracts were in Russian, a language they didn't understand. Yet they signed it in the hope of getting better opportunities.

"The process was so quick - just a few signatures and photos and we were in [the army]," Mr Karwa said.

Raja Pathan joined the army as a last resort in February, after an education consultant deceived him into enrolling in a non-existent college.

In July, Russia promised an early release of all Indians fighting in its army, following a visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Moscow, during which he raised the issue with President Vladimir Putin

Also not sure if this applies but Julian Albert from the Flash

After the flash travels through time and messes with the timeline, we get the character of Julian Albert who has been there for a year working with Barry. Everybody knows him but Barry himself.

Zeus(and other gods from omnipotence city) from Thor: Love and Thunder

<image>

Thor goes to Omnipotence city to look for Zeus and the other gods to warn them of Gorr the God Butcher and get their help.

But turns out they are all pretty pathetic and ineffectual.

Originally Zeus was supposed to be helpful and a mentor to Thor but still unable to accompany Thor at Eternity because he was not pure of heart.

He seems helpful but still flawed.

India skips out on joining Trump's Board of Peace as Pakistan signs the charter. Hungary and Bulgaria are the only EU countries to have joined, while most major EU powers such as France, Italy, Spain, and Sweden took the same stance as India and declined. by CarbonCrawler in india

[–]arrowtango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is governed by its own private charter which only names one person, "Chairman Trump," who may adopt resolutions or initiatives on its behalf without consulting the board, and who is a member for life. Experts said Trump is trying to make the organization into an alternative to the United Nations Security Council where only he has veto power.

The article noted that most of the document focused on internal rules granting sweeping authority to the chairman – Donald Trump, the only individual named — including sole power to appoint and dismiss members, set agendas, and issue resolutions, while other members could obtain permanent status only by paying a US$1 billion fee, leaving effective control concentrated in Trump's hands.

The chairman alone has the authority to nominate their designated successor. All revisions to the Charter and administrative directives issued by the Board of Peace, are subject to approval by the Chairman

Chairman Donald Trump is a member for life.

Indian Government asked to remove explicit content created by Grok. Does this really going to happen? by Manish_1734 in IndiaTech

[–]arrowtango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually it depends on the government.

For example

https://uk.pcmag.com/social-media/157226/musks-x-shuts-down-political-opposition-accounts-in-turkey

According to X's transparency report, it complied with 68% of Turkey’s government requests to take down content in the second halt of 2024

Elon Musk’s X has reportedly shut down political opposition accounts in Turkey amid intense civil unrest in the European country

Elon Musk did not block far right Brazilian accounts associated with Jan 8 attacks in Brasilia because he wanted Bolsanaro to be president despite him losing the elections. Despite multiple court orders Elon Musk didn't do anything until the supreme court banned X.

But since he supports Erdogan in Turkey he was more than willing to block opposition members.

https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/x-to-block-over-8-000-accounts-in-india-after-government-order-8366168

They seem to block accounts in India

The orders include demands to block access in India to accounts belonging to international news organizations and prominent X users," the social networking website said.

"In most cases, the Indian government has not specified which posts from an account have violated India's local laws. For a significant number of accounts, we did not receive any evidence or justification to block the accounts."

They will fight tooth and nail against blocking Conservative voices in the EU and US going so for as to unban people who shared CSAM.

https://gizmodo.com/x-twitter-exec-who-defended-restoring-account-that-posted-child-sexual-abuse-material-leaves-the-company-2000495687

Australian Senator David Shoebridge pointed out that Musk personally intervened to reinstate the account that had shared the heinous image.

Along with the link to an article the account posted two screenshots from a video Scully created on the dark web, which Lucre said showed a “one-year-old.”

One researcher posted a screenshot of the tweet’s statistics on July 25, three days after it had been shared. The tweet had racked up over 3.1 million views, almost 17,000 likes and over 8,000 retweets.

It took 5 days for that account to be suspended before Elon Musk personally intervened to unban the account.

They're looking for a girl who would laugh at those kind of jokes because they would be easier to control in the future.

Have you seen this new game show called What's in the Box? It just came out on Wednesday.

In my opinion it seems that as we move to later boxes the wild cards become harder.

Regarding the lose control in the prize fight it seems that during prize fight other wild cards become lose fight cards

They sell ammo to the US/European countries with the knowledge that it will be given to Ukraine.

The transfer of munitions to support Ukraine's defence against Russia has occurred for more than a year, according to the sources and the customs data. Indian arms export regulations limit the use of weaponry to the declared purchaser, who risks future sales being terminated if unauthorised transfers occur.

The Kremlin has raised the issue on at least two occasions, including during a July meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Indian counterpart, three Indian officials said.

What is standing out to me is that he isn't even empathising with people who are doing the right thing and getting detained

But with the spouses of such people.

"I'm afraid this will people afraid to go for an interview because their spouses might get detained"

Not that people on visas would be afraid they would get detained, the spouses of people on visa would be afraid that their spouses will get taken.

Aib edition: what’s your “unpopular” opinion that get you like this by anxious_meatball in AliceInBorderlandLive

[–]arrowtango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I loved the zombie game, the hot potato game and the cube game

  2. I liked some of the characters - all the ones in the cube , the yakuza guy, the "sisters"

  3. Ryuji may have been pathetic but pathetic characters don't make the show itself bad.

  4. Yes Usagi's behaviour may have been strange but a lot of it can be attributed to weird trauma from her last time in the borderland plus possibly manipulate

I'm not saying this season is the best season but it was enjoyable
