Less than 10 seconds after officers opened the door, police shot Yong Yang in his parents’ Koreatown home while he was holding a knife during a bipolar episode....
I played during a free week (dunno if it’s still going). The game offers this world of awesome prospects. Even in a state where there’s no additional content to the current, it’s already a relaxing game with beautiful scenery. But: OMG the bugs. The tutorial waypoints sometimes don’t appear for minutes. Interaction work at the servers whim. I bugged out one of my starter items (the helmet). I had to buy a new one. The first mission is the one I failed when I was delivering goods and they bugged out, so I couldn’t deliver them anymore and the mission was bricked.
Pirate Software put it best: “what the game wants to be is great, but the only thing I see expanding is the storefront and I’d like it to not be that”
And I would extend that quote to “as long as the storefront expands while the core game doesn’t function, this is not a game but a development service and as long as it’s not a game you shouldn’t buy it or anything related to it”. I wanna play games and not glorified tech demos. Especially when there is more than 10 years of development. We definitely gave them enough leeway.
That gender disputes reached such an explosive level, that women say they’d rather a bear join them than a man and that man get super upset over this. There’s a little truth in everything. Imagine trying your hardest as a man and still being told ppl prefer a wild animal over you. Imagine knowing as a woman you can’t trust men to the point where you’d prefer a wild and dangerous animal keep you company. And also imagine hating another gender with such a deep passion that a meme becomes a toxic war of insult and discrediting.
We can’t rule it out, but Occam’s razor says we should think of it as an accident right up until the moment where we find evidence for sabotage and an accident isn’t enough anymore to explain it.
Completely random stoned hypothetical. Lets day im old as fuck and I decide I’m ready and done. Could I have the same postmortem autopsy done on me while I’m still alive? Like give me a ton of drugs and let me watch myself get dissected as my final moments. I understand there is a legal and possibly moral concern, but is it...
Mind you this boils down to an absurdly short list of countries who even allow euthanasia at all.
And that’s because making sure the victim consented is super scary and risky. You don’t wanna accidentally allow murder, even if it’s only for the very smart murderers who can forge documents.
Today, a bunch of people on my Mastodon feed are making declarations about somebody apparently flying a flag upside down, and this apparently has something to do with the New York Times being terrible....
Violating these laws can lead to varying degrees of fines and or prosecution, depending on the country and the type of country flag desecration (burning a flag is worse than getting the height of the flag on the pole wrong).
Half mast is the more famous distress signal internationally.
That said, Alito, even if not doing something illegal, is definitely signalling something very ominous. I agree with the experts that such an extreme degree of the appearance of impropriety is definitely gonna run afoul of supreme court ethics rules.
But: no check of power means no executive power and that means a rule might as well be unwritten.
A jury has awarded more than $1.1 million to an Idaho drag performer who accused a far-right blogger of defaming him when she falsely claimed that he exposed himself to a crowd, including children, during a Pride event in June 2022....
I was gonna say you might not have to sue again for taking down the post, you could just ask in judgement phase that you get x amount of money for every day the post was and is up since it was created. Should do the trick.
I would argue that someone who writes “finish them” on weapons of war has absolutely no ability to comprehend nuances like the ones you described. That or she wants to be likened to people who lack that ability. Anyway, it’s equally abysmal and she doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt you are trying to give her.
I was held for two hours. The first round of questions was about my views on Hamas. Then the agents wished to know whether I thought Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip amount to genocide and what I think of the slogan “Palestine should be free from the river to the sea”. I said yes, I do think Israel is committing...

Yeah I am confused by the amount of likes but iirc there’s three significant cases:
hush money payments to stormy Daniels (the problem is that the payments are misappropriated funds, it’s actually quite dumb)
election interference in georgia (the one that people feel more strongly about for obvious reasons)
mar-a-lago classified documents (mishandling, especially by retaining them after losing rights to handle as well as to see them). Last news was that he had even more shit tucked away in his bedroom iirc.
Yes there was another suit against the trump org in NY for fraud, but it’s basically over, a judgement has been entered and last thing I’ve heard is that he was trying to secure a bond and the latest bond company got rejected by the court because something something not offering collateral.
I have no clue what the current status of this case is.
Yeah, you know what, he’s probably right. And I admit this is scary. This vote determines the amount of damage he is capable of. He tried overthrowing the government once, he will try to do it again. Either covertly or overtly.
