There are pictures and videos of the aftermath, and they make it pretty obvious that it wasn’t lithium batteries alone.

For the same reasons that everything else is “enshittified” – It’s produced by people seeking maximum profits for minimum effort, and consumed by people who aren’t discerning enough to care.

Those sweet royalties from the Netflix exposé docs, maybe.

Those markings are the key to a map that shows the exact location of Thomas Jefferson’s secret tomb!

Definitely looks like more Borderlands.

I really enjoyed 1 and 2, played through the main story in both at least two times. I installed 3 over a year (two years?) ago and just completely stalled out on it, so it remains unfinished.

I really liked the low-gravity aspect of Pre Sequel, and the more immersive thematic elements of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands… Hopefully there’s something like those things here, that really adds on to the core gameplay loop, and not just additional in-game currencies or another elemental damage type.

But then there would be no title.

Make him look bad? Everyone knows he’s bad, and and half the country loves that. I don’t see how this is going to help Kamala. Unless she can hold her own and push back when he talks over her (which will be incessant), this move seems largely in his favor. I do hope I’m proven wrong, though!

Romanian authorities released this mugshot after apprehending the rapist:

My partner is T1D. When I see stories like this pop up, I am hopeful, but I generally don’t share them with her because these revolutionary discoveries are always “x years away.” This sounds amazing and if it works as well as it sounds here, it would absolutely change lives.

Ducked around and found out, even.

Ugh, who has time for that? I need all of my waking hours to be devoted to increasing work productivity and consuming products. Computers can feel my pesky feelings for me now.

Now they must duel. There is no other way.

In addition to a few I’ve seen posted already (Stardew Valley especially)…

• A Dark Room: A relatively short, minimalist, mostly-text-based RPG with a dark vibe. I come back to this at least once a year. Can be played free via web browser, but the native app version has some extras.
• Dysmantle: A huge and well-polished zombie survival sim. Just recently finished it and was really impressed with the overall scale, level design and progression.
• Papers, Please: A ‘dystopian document thriller.’ You play as a border checkpoint agent, verifying increasingly-complicated passport documents and questioning your moral compass. Port of a PC game by the same name.

Some people really just wake up looking for something to get rankled about.

I was unaware of this until Stuff You Should Know did an episode about Unit 731 recently. It’s one of those terrible-but-necessary things to learn about, but they do a good job of covering it thoroughly and tactfully, so I’d recommend it in addition to the Wikipedia article.

And as I said, I’ve also watched the video. The point of all of my comments is that your original statement:

Holy shit. Did you watch the tape? … She puts it down, gets down to a squat… And then as the police take a step towards her she reaches up for the pot of boiling water with anger on her face.

was not based in anything that could be observed in the video, but rather on your “deduction.” There are people who will never watch the video because they would find it upsetting, and I wouldn’t want people like that to read your comment and think there was any ounce of truth to your claim. One simply cannot see any of what you’re claiming in the footage that is available, and I personally believe that your ardent defense of these claims says a lot more about you than it does about the available facts.
