Name it

Warframe. They got it running on mobile, and it looks absolutely gorgeous. I myself ran it for a few years on a shitty graphics card that could barely run minecraft with a texture pack.

My friend forces me to watch the anime and then showed me the manga. The anime feels like another souless adaptation. It lacks so much context, so many details that just make the whole thing a mess. There are scenes than are completely different in both works, if not completely missing, just beacuse the anime chose to not include inportant details.

For anyone who like the anime, read the manga. It's so much worth it.

Massachusetts passed a 4% millionaire's tax last year. Now every public school student is going to get free lunch

Thanks for the answer to my question! I did not really look into this for a few years. And those that I did were when I really got into US politics. Thankfully I did 180 on that, but my knowledge from that time is untrustworthy to say the least.

Your answer really clarified and added a lot rather than repeating what others said, along with it being from a professional, which is well appreciated. So again, thank you and the others for taking the time to answer my question.

[Shoe0nHead] The Male Loneliness Epidemic

Reply in thread

Fairly balanced. She makes fun of both extremes and seems to have opinions from both sides, as well as covering topics from them. While she does cover far-left more than far-right, there does not seem to have a problematic bias towards one side.

Of course a lot of leftists call her far-right, but that seems to be painfully common with all centre-leaning political youtubers. Turns out if you are far-left, anything from centre to right will seem far-right to you.

Anyway, if you are interested in her, she is not as serious with most of her content, so you'll probably stay for the humor, or balanced takes. As most political youtubers of her type, she is perfect to watch in terms of things both sides have completely different opinions on.

An actor's popularity is dependent on if they have a major role in popular movies, a large social media presence, or things like that. Many people don't exactly care about quality in movies, or the actors ability to act.

There are some great actors we probably never heard of, because they are cast in minor roles, or in movies barely anyone knows about.

Ouch

We had those types of tests but as to what type of secondary school you would fit in. I of course did not take that test, because I already had a plan. And those who did, ignored it anyway. Not sure what is worse. These job tests, or what people use as a reason for their decision, or the lack of one. Studying computer network technics, two in my class were actually interested in computers. The rest: ,,Well, I play videogames, so I figured I could do well here."

-their answer to the question of why they picked that study

Unfortunately the death penalty is currently not about killing the criminal, but a good-looking death. Basically it does not matter if the person suffers for an hour, as long as it is not visible.

From hanging, electrocution, to gassing (yes, US did that at one point) and lethal injections, the method was always slow and painful.

With the lethal injections one, most chemicals were banned for it, so they are poorly researched by laymans, not as functional and literally made so the person is paralyzed, while they still can feel everything and can painfully be dying for half an hour.

Alabama wants to be the 1st state to execute a prisoner by making him breathe only nitrogen

In ending their life should we be causing them pain? Huge debate, but the main reason we use lethal injection or gas executions instead now is to end their life without pain or torture. Ideally a person would just be turned off like a light without them even noticing.

Interestingly enough, because of certain happenings, these methods are often poorly prepared by a layman after a quick google search and mostly made to look like a quick death, with the person often suffering even for half an hour. We already have a solution. It's called a guillotine. After 4 seconds the person is all gone, but it's a messy death for any onlookers, so it's not used.

For anyone interested, here is a great video about how executions basically never changed in all but look: https://youtu.be/eirR4FHY2YY?si=9y_dbu8SBiDyPos-

3 former GOP operatives to pay $50K for roles in a fake charity tied to E. Palestine derailment

Not really. Unless you drank straight from the river after derailment or stayed during cleanup, there is no way anyone will have problems because of it. Unlike radiation, chemicals, after being heavily diluted, become harmless within days.

It's like if you poured out a bottle of bleach in your garden. You won't worry about the tomatoes becoming poisonous when you pick them the next year.
