“I’m not a windmill person,” he said at one point.

“I have a castle,” he said at another.

Of his golf course in Aberdeen, Scotland, he testified: “At some point, maybe in my very old age, I’ll go there and do the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen. Aberdeen is the oil capital of Europe, very rich,” Trump began to say, but he was interrupted by the judge shouting, “Irrelevant!” Trump murmured, “It is.”

Hours into his testimony, Trump attempted to read from a piece of paper he retrieved from his pocket. “I’d love to read this, your honor, if I could. Am I allowed to do that?” Trump asked. The judge said no.

On his way out of court, Kise further applauded Trump’s performance, telling reporters: “In 33 years, I’ve never had a witness testify better.”

This would be a blockbuster comedy if it wasn't real

To anyone claiming that the bigger one is the safer one ...

From the Bloomberg & NLM articles

From a safety perspective, kei cars have a lot going for them when compared with American-style SUVs and trucks. Their light weight generates less force in a collision, and their stubby front ends reduce driver blind spots. Research suggests that their occupants are equally safe as those inside full-sized vehicles.

I'm from Tokyo, so I'm saying this as someone with a direct stake in the matter, but is this really a problem? The Earth is on fire right now, the oceans are literally boiling, it is face-melting hot here. The consequences of the period of unsustainable growth are finally coming to pass. There was a report yesterday saying we'd passed the yearly mark for what the planet can provide, and we'd need 1.7 Earths now to meet everyone's needs. So maybe naturally reducing the population isn't such a bad thing.

People who say PHP is shit haven't really used it and are just repeating the memes. It's a perfectly fine language and there are a number of excellent tools and frameworks for it. It's reputation is a result of it's easy entry and widespread use. A whole lot of people who knew just enough to be dangerous made a whole lot of stuff, and it ended up causing a whole lot of problems. But for some reason devs shit on the language instead of shitting on the devs who put them in a mess.

Nah, it's the other way around, you'd have to be really fucking high to wanna eat human brains

Inner doors should swing inward because in case of a fire or other emergency, you don't want to be trapped inside by something blocking the door that you cannot deal with. Even in something were preventing it from swinging open (like a rope or whatever), in theory the person could still get out because the door hinge would be located on their side and they could simply remove it.

Facebook never "died", but no one goes there anymore either. Reddit will be the same.

Which will fail hard because if the justice system allowed that to happen then anyone could use it as an means to derail their case.

I'm sorry, wtf!!! A gallon of paint???? Please OP, that's ridiculous. We use metric here in Japan, it's 4 liters of paint. Do some research and get it right next time!

Well duh! That's because the big black line you see on all the maps keeps the storms from crossing over

There are certainly worse role models he could've chosen, so not bad I guess

No genuinely, 100%, actually, fuck that. Forget gender, lgbt, and all that for a moment. In a very general sense, a teacher has a duty to society to challenge children and teach them to be better people. Sometimes that will clash with the bigotry and racism held by their parents, and that's a good thing. The moment we prevent teachers from trying to make a better world is the day our society ends.

$bian is a variable but it wasn't set, so it's pronounced "le-undefined"

the meantime, to ensure that /r/PICS is adhering to all of Reddit’s guidelines and requests, we would be happy to revert the NSFW setting, restrict posting, and remove any and all content that could be considered “offensive” by anyone.

They're gonna nuke the sub next and I'm loving it

A literal move actually. 20 years ago I moved from America to a country with universal health care. That has saved my family probably close to a quarter million bucks in health care fees alone.

Well considering Trump has a long history of not actually paying his employees, wouldn't be surprised if this guy couldn't afford it

Reinstated so that the FBI can investigate I hope ...

Reinstated because it's a Republican account I suspect ...

The only policy Republicans have is "kill people different than me", there is literally nothing else.

oh oh!!! now to the police next please!

Maybe I'm just a cynic, but this seems very much part of the PR script for any controversy of the past 20 years or so.

1. Cause controversy

2. Get backlash

3. Say there were death threats in basklash

4. Paint opposition in bad light, claim to be the real victim and bask in all the feel good comments from people saying "it was controversial, but come on, death threats are not cool"

5. Conversation derailed, continue as planned

Seriously, go look at one of the comment threads on that other site. It's now all about how "deranged indie devs" are hurting honest hard working Unity employees. Maybe it was a real threat, maybe it wasn't, but they're sure as fuck going to milk it for all they can now.
