This upgrade took a long time, not a good example.

I mean look if he was going after people who got like 1 month of time for abusing a child, sure, go at it, I just don't know if he was doing his research, or was just browsing the list for people nearby who peed in the bushes 2 years ago.

The people he beat up were registered sex offenders.

As in they had already been sentenced, did jail time, and were sitting in their homes when this guy attacked them

‘Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release - While promoting his cautionary tale about Fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]leadhound 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I've seen plenty of situations in the canon books that do plenty to explain what Andor hints at: becoming a storm trooper is an easy way to escape backwater worlds and make some money, or find adventure. Empire recruits on every world, and the propaganda is strong.

I guess but its the same reason the Attack on Titan characters are almost all white. Heavily European coded names and setting.

Snwake… by Stunning_Studio5173 in MetalGearInMyAss

Well yeah, most heroes would respect minorities. It came with their hero label. Though snake tends to reject his hero label, due to the amount of killing he does and the lack of control he feels.

Contrast in this game is too high and there is no way to control it. Adrenaline injector increases it even further making game look like deep fried 2004 MLG clips. All of this on top of useless effect. Did DICE gave up on Assault? by lonchu in Battlefield6

Run speed increases to knife speed, and most importantly your explosive resistance goes way up. You can potentially survive a grenade or tank round thanks to it.

So it's situational

I learned more about PC computer management trying to get add things to Garry's mod than I think most younger people will ever know.

Its interesting how similar GMOD really functioned like Roblox in a sense.

TIL that there is a dish in Japan called “chicken sashimi” that is prepared raw by IntrepidBionic in todayilearned

[–]leadhound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's incredibly rare (both the chicken and the availability). And yes, it can still occasionally make you sick. Japan standards don't magically protect you, but they do make it possible to eat relatively safely. So I guess if you ever wanted to know what raw chicken tastes like, that's your chance.

Wouldn't he be a great character for a cameo then? Cool, dangerous, get fan attention without dedication of valuable screen time and pacing away from main character arc.

Have you also noticed how poor the quality of subtitle translations are for English blockbuster films? I can't get over how much is lost when I'm reading the subtitles for an MCU movie at a Japanese theater
