I'll be honest, if Israel dropped all the cloak-and-dagger espionage stuff and just sent a delegate to the UN to say "We are begging our allies, and even some enemies, to help us wipe every Muslim off the map" the world would improve a lot.
I mean, to go full-on conspiracy. Why would so many israeli-backed politicians be for open borders, for all western nations but never, ever israel? Why mostly from Muslim countries? Why not, if anything, to soften up the global population for when they ask that question? The governments might at first say "no, no!" But they'll have to capitulate to the will of the people eventually.

I don't understand some people's hatred of PVP games filling empty spots in lobbies with bots, and having bots drop out if another player joins.
There are already plenty of games that have a campaign and multiplayer, and the multiplayer is dead. Sure, you can do some IP forwarding and set up your own server, and once a month you and 3 friends play PVP for an hour. But, like setting up a good time to meet for DnD, people have lives, and can't always play when you can.
I know bots don't give the exact same experience as fighting real players, but in a dead game, it'll be hard to get enough people together to play anyway.
Personally I'd prefer a lobby of 2 other real players and the rest be filled with bots than just three of us spending 5 minutes finding each other, and 15 seconds fighting. Especially in a game that has a campaign mode anyway- just put some of that already made AI behavior into the multiplayer.

Because of the new game, and everyone has been talking about it, I watched the first Hellraiser. I thought it would just be gore porn like Jason, Texas chainsaw massacre, or Halloween because of how people talk about it, and how old it is, but it was actually good. Horror has a bad name because of slashers (and the modern schlock) but I like horror when it's thought provoking and makes you think while you're watching it.
Yes there is gore but it's 80's gore and it's very obviously fake. Also the Cenobites are very nearly "the good guys" if not for the last 10 minutes.

"Other duties as assigned" has got to be The worker's rights violation of the modern era. Fuck you, the reward for getting done early shouldn't be "more work". You assumed this job would take 10hrs, I did it in 8. I want to be paid for those last 2 hours and go HOME.

All this discussion about Christa Pike and the death penalty is reminding me of that scene at the beginning of Jurassic Park

Why don't most laws just put "loopholes will be punished the same as blatant, clear violation of the above law" or something at the end? Do we not have a legal definition for "loophole" yet? Is it a civil rights deal? All this waste time on "amendment to law 386,7003,
1.2 you can't do it that way
1.3 you can't do it that other way
1.4 can't do that either
1.5 also can't do that"

Kinda pisses me off that the phrase "giving/turning a cold shoulder" is just a phrase some guy in the 1800's made up and we aren't 100% sure what it actually means, beyond the interpretation of "turning away/ ignoring someone".
Sure, that's what it means even in context of the original text, but where does it come from? Why is my shoulder cold?

I've been sick since last Thursday (almost a full week now) and on a whim, I upgraded my Xitter account from free to paid. I spent nearly a week doing nothing but doom post/scrolling on this site, but after I upgraded I went from 3 notifications a day to 3 notifications an hour. Gay!

All of this "personalized algorithm" bullshit and I STILL have to wade through a sea of Sports crap when I look at "trending".
