Israeli Hamas they couldn't find until now.

I mean, a 1-2-3 hour documentary or a paper would obviously exceed my look at them, even if they glance back.

Do you have some links or recs to drop for me and others about squids? That'd be sweet.

Both capital punishment and waving 25 years off are extremes not worth picking, imho. In a somehow sane world the latter would land Abbot's ass himself in the court.

Every one of these cases is a failure of a society as a whole, may it big or small. Maybe it's an edge case, or a person with a mental condition whose actions we missed a chance to counteract in time. But from what I hear I can assume chinese propaganda encourages nationalistic feelings and some kind of a new chinese identity to keep their social fabric intact and productive, patriotic, and it seems that this person may as well be a byproduct of that. They have a personal responsibility for what they did, but killing them off wouldn't bring the dead woman back. He is a man, not a rabid dog, and just killing him doesn't solve anything but saving taxes, maybe. The goal is to start undoing the same corruption in others, and killing them cold is not encouraging for them to be open to be healed.

The same applies to why mentally ill persons don't self-report before they slip, do something and get caught in most countries.

And it's not like w11 is free, the price of a PC with Windows installed comes with its' license's costs. It's not told to the consumer so they won't even know they are using a product they paid for, for them it's what a clean basic PC looks like. And that's what prevents many to care about it the same way they can be frustrated by a paid streaming plan with ads. To take is as a given, and shifting the Overtone's window of fucked up services even further.

The more I read about them, the more I'm fascinated with how alien they seem to be to me. It's either them or crabs as the ultimate form that everything would come to eventually. Maybe even molecrabs we are yet to discover.

Recently some hallucinating z-blogger (allegedly, WarGonzo) posted that a group of british spec ops got deployed there, and how they are all pumped up to face them. Brits haven't even arrived, no surprise, but it seems the ouija board flipped over and hit this fortune-teller hard. Looking forward to his other predictions if that's the trend now.

A fashy coward attacks helpless woman and child over them being of another nationality, only to stab a courageos bystander of his own. Let him rot in hell for all years he stole from her and wanted to steal from others.

One can slice it, heat only a half, put the cold one on top. Your karma cancels out, the meal gets two different temperatures and textures so taste is more complex and you may probably confuse other people with a pizza burger recipe.

What wife? He's her step-dad now. That'd be ridiculous.

After I launched some program I need from an app image, it starts every time I log into system.

Going by Windows logic, there may be some menu or a queue that lists all apps that start after logining in with an option to disable it.

I'm struggling to find anything like that.

NFS OST remade for kids (sh.itjust.works)

One of the weird realization for me as I learnt English and listened to authors who contributed to these games, is that many remastered their tracks to exclude swear words and obvious mentions of drugs, or was it EA specialists? NFS Underground and Most Wanted games were filled with rap and metal, but still got rated for teens because of that. When I've heard some of these songs in their album versions for the first time and there were actual lines or even paragraphs I've not heard before it was very weird. I applaud whoever did this and still kept these songs bangers as they are, intact, hard hitting whenever you hard them back then or now like I do.

That was probably never talked about, but here it is: someone did a very good job. You'd probably never notice that until you hear the original.

If you happen to not believe me, check the first verse from Dilated People's Who is Who. That's the worst edit of the bunch, although it's one of my favorite tracks in the game. This flow is fucking tight, DPs are Erik B and Rakim for millenials, fight me. Either way, here are these tracks:

Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndEvdwIPTU4

Choppy NFSU version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om0PvVJjkgY

That didn't occured to me in the early 00s, but you can hear the MC cut being half-word in. I'm puzzled how it got into production if it wasn't a fuck you from the artists leaving a clue about the whole text, kek.

I don't know why I dumped that on you, but now you know there are specially created versions of songs for some old games that wanted to sound all gangsta but still keep themselves teen-friendly. You are welcome.

Even Quark chose not to follow him.

I guess the meta is installing them via Lutris\Bottles and then launching them via Steam to have a modern controller support and overlay, is that's so? Does emulation make it better in any way (it seems easier)? What would you use playing them now?

I've watched a couple of vids on games from NFSU to Pro Street forming some kind of a saga, and felt nostalgic enough to once again jump in this cringe pool.

I won't spoil my own opinion on these games besides one point: Pro Street was probably the last one to have a decent, influential OST. Won't lie, they've introduced me to my current favs and made me research their genres further. For that I can excuse EA, or rather BlackBox from crticizing too much, although wanting to play their older games instead of new ones says it all.

The Gamma Quadrant is now the Kazakh Quadrant. I don't make the rules. Wait for Sasha Baron Cohen to film another movie about how we mistakenly see guests from the wormhole.

PS: Nechayeva is probably the most annoying character in the franchise.

For right there we see him stating he can not read clues from women or he's not signaled enough to notice it.

Does it mean he's more accustomed to signals from men or he's just completely senseless?

I don't really question my gay sadistic Odo headcannon, but I find that quote to be a welcome guest in many redpill threads,

I'm yet to do my first one if this post dosen't count, so I'm learning here.
