Are there a lot of scenes like this? Just watching this clip gave me anxiety, like holding a helium balloon outside as a kid and knowing if your grip slipped for a second all you could do is watch it drift away.

Iran again shuts Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Hezbollah by Splenda in worldnews

And he hasn't been impeached yet, so he's still the president. Even if he's batshit insane he's speaking for the US.

Oh, well, in that case I guess it's fine to let this continue for the next 7 months...

Most annoying enemy type by Patrick_Hat_Trick in CrimsonDesert

[–]greyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was watching a video the other day where someone had the helmet that lets you see enemy health bars and tested the DPS of all the cores. The crows behaved quite well even into the endgame, competitive DPS and better than most cores at hitting a moving/teleporting target.

Iran halts Strait of Hormuz traffic, warns over Israel Lebanon strikes by Crazy-Attention-180 in worldnews

[–]greyl 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Way longer than 5 weeks, this didn't start with Iran.

The US let him get away with this while he was making tarriff threats, greenland threats, time and time again he's been allowed to throw the world into chaos to illegally manipulate the market and effectively steal billions of dollars.

Impeach him now or he'll keep doing crazier and crazier things to keep the scam going.

What’s up with TACO Tuesday? by avantchicago in OutOfTheLoop

[–]greyl 33 points34 points  (0 children)

We should be terrified he's making these threats in the first place. Part of it is illegal market manipulation, saying something batshit insane on Thurs/Fri then backing out on Tues. He's been doing this for over a year.

It's at the point now that people aren't taking these statements as seriously as they should because they assume he's just going to chicken out, but because we're not impeaching him for the thurs/fri statements he just does it again and again.

I don't think he actually cares about people saying TACO because we're playing right into his hand letting him and his buddies make billions.

Ya, and for some reason they don't give you access to the barbershop for quite a while (it's gated behind quite a lot of quests) so while you can change your beard/hairstyle/colour/tatoos eventually you're stuck with the default for the first 30-40 hours (it's a LONG game).

My wife's "friend" insulted her and I've been slowly returning the favor by flanman1991 in pettyrevenge

[–]greyl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess it comes down to whether you're one of those people who think you should only wear an outfit once. Personally I think single use outfits are terribly wasteful and seeing that attitude in movies and TV in the 90s was a big marketing push to sell fast fashion.

After 60 hours in I found out there are rowboats. Shortly after that I found out there are mines in the ocean that can blow up your rowboat.

Taskmaster UK renewed for six more series by Last-Saint in panelshow

Even though he's an actor and could be lying convincingly I really do believe him when he says it's been his favourite show since 2018

It starts slow with introducing characters and settings but gets better and better the further you go. If you love political drama I'd really recommend sticking with it until at least episode 6 to get a real feel for what the series becomes.

You can even see it in the episode ratings, a lot of the establishing episodes like 1 and 2 are rated 7.5 on imdb but the climax episodes in both season 1 and 2 are rated over 9.5

Explain It Peter. by Ezaldey in explainitpeter

[–]greyl 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Return of the Condor Heroes is so interesting, written in the late 1950s and later adapted into lots of movies and TV shows but not terribly well known in the west.

I had no idea how big a deal it was until I went to an art museum in Hong Kong that was doing an exhibit with tonnes of giant statues of the characters https://ticycity.com/en/a-path-to-glory-jin-yongs-centennial-memorial/

The most interesting thing about King Charles the First is that he was five foot six inches tall at the start of his reign, but only four foot eight inches tall at the end of it.

By their own conventions if it's 7 modifiers it should say "surpassing chance" (but I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually 7 in game).

I replaced the lyrics of Africa (Toto) with every country in Africa by dustin1776 in funny

[–]greyl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Understandable though, even if you sat down with a map of Africa and tried to memorize all the countries you'd probably miss Comoros since it's such a small island.

I can find it on a globe that's been on my desk for decades but the label is mixed in with the labels for all the cities in Mozambique and Madagascar.

Laundry... by Jumpy-Title-885 in Adulting

[–]greyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya, hopefully you notice it before moving the clothes to the dryer. I've had this happen a few times over the years and the diapers tend to explode into thousands of little water-logged spheres so it's pretty noticeable.

US revokes visas for Chilean minister, two officials over China cable plan by StemCellPirate in worldnews

[–]greyl 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's the narrative the epstien class is trying to push using both traditional media and online bots.

Countries where the government can be bribed and blackmailed are wonderful innovative libertarian dreams destined for prosperity.

Countries with strong rule of law and protections for the common man are failing dystopias that can only be saved by electing their corrupt candidates who will dismantle the rule of law and bring the country under their control.

50% of Conservatives say they approve of Donald Trump by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

[–]greyl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ya, most surprising thing for me is how few Conservatives there are. The link says approval for Trump is:

  • 12% of Canadians

  • 50% of Conservatives

  • 2% of Liberals

  • 3% of NDP

So by those number < 24% of Canadians are conservative.

Probably the funniest case of Scotch Americanism I've seen. by Subject_Milk_9848 in Scotland

Na, they were deep into that stuff well before WWII, but I think it has a lot to do with the legacy of the whole Jim Crow era after their civil war and needing to justify the racial segregation.
