Exactly. They will probably send all the citizens they want to get rid of knowing that they will likely die. It's a win-win for Rocket Man: he gets to eradicate any 'inferior' or 'disloyal' peons while ingratiating himself to Putin.

Considering all the ways they've been ridiculously incompetent in their invasion of Ukraine, I could actually see this incident being due to ineptitude.

A branded dildo so one can get fucked yet again by Netflix?

Knowing Netflix and how their content quality has generally fallen in recent years, any new flavors will probably be like "Voluptuous Vomit" and "Dynamite Dog Shit".

For those who don't get the reference, I think this is referring to the Mark of Cain teaching in Mormonism. This resulted in black members of the church being seen as lesser or inferior by many white members. The church officially abandoned it as an official teaching in 1978. But the stigma for black members still persists to some degree unofficially, with some white church members still believing it today.

The attempted murderer took issue with the fact that the girl and the rest of her family were Palestinians and speaking in a different language.

Dell announced a new return-to-office initiative earlier this year. In the new plan, workers had to classify themselves as remote or hybrid.

Those who classified themselves as hybrid are subject to a tracking system that ensures they are in a physical office 39 days a quarter, which works out to close to three days per work week.

Alternatively, by classifying themselves as remote, workers agree they can no longer be promoted or hired into new roles within the company.

Holy corporate oppression, Batman! That's a shitty deal no matter which option you choose.

I'm glad they've got themselves into a sticky situation.

Also, this observation was funny (in a sad way):

One person said they'd spoken with colleagues who had chosen to go hybrid, and those colleagues reported doing work in mostly empty offices punctuated with video calls with people who were in other mostly empty offices.

Comparing himself to Churchill defending the UK from the Nazis has got to be the shittiest analogy I've heard in a long time. You aren't Churchill in this situation, Netanyahu. You're the invader hell-bent on wiping out a population.

Despite falling short of his financial goal, Black said his journey showcased the power of determination and the importance of health and family

So he learned absolutely nothing about the plight of countless millions of people. Got it.

Interesting article about the struggles two linguists had taking Frank Herbert's eclectic Fremen words and turning them into a working conlang (constructed language) for the new movies.

NBC reporter: "there were Nazis openly schmoozing at CPAC"

Republican Party: "NO THERE WEREN'T! THAT'S A LIE! YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF THAT!"

NBC reporter: presents evidence

Republican Party: surprised Pikachu face

But seriously, we all know where this is going. Conservative leaders will cry "librul media persecution!" And about 95% of their followers will just believe them and refuse to check the presented evidence, because it's more convenient for them to blindly follow the movement than it is for them to accept the truth.

Looks like some on the right-wing have a new fictional bogeymen to blame shootings on.

Hi. Just wondering if anyone knows if/when the server will be coming back online?

I know it's been pretty quiet in the server recently, but I sure hope this isn't a permanent goodbye to it, as there's a lot of really cool stuff on there, and the community vibe was second-to-none.

Is it just a little break until interest picks up again?

Edit: it's up again as of around Jan 12th. The server basically went down and nobody either realized it or knew what was going on. Thanks to those who run the server. It's very much appreciated, and now we know to ping you guys if it happens again. :-)

Edit 2: to clarify, nobody let the admins know that the server was down, so they didn't know there was a problem.
