I’m probably overthinking this, but Resident Evil has Japanese devs and I heard Japan has a culture of not wanting to carry around more than you need. I wonder if the small inventory space in Resident Evil games is related to the cultural idea of packing light.

Dibs on digis!

On one hand, it’s not physically possible to be that cold. On the other hand, it’s Winnipeg. Could go either way.

Poor Wife

My father used to really like Poilievre and send me clips of him roasting libs or whatever. That stopped immediately after Poilievre shook hands with the trucker convoy people. My father’s a “law and order” kind of guy and that moment completely changed his mind on PP.

Oh it’s photos of Ozzy taken by a professional photographer that were posted without the photographer’s permission.

There better be cocaine in that syrup.

Lovely Complex is an anime/manga based around this idea. It’s cute but the “will they, wont they?” trope goes on for an insufferable amount of time!

The absolute funniest part about the whole thing to me is that Drake actually filed a lawsuit against Kendrick for defamation saying the song makes untrue claims that hurt him financially. That has got to be the most “Not Like Us” shit someone could possibly do.

I’m actually impressed by some of the critical thinking going on! Some are saying this would cause more US based steel manufacturing while others point out nobody is setting up a company when even Trump himself can’t commit to keeping the tarrifs in place for 4 years. However, nobody is discussing why there needs to be more US based steel production.

What is bad about importing steel? An American factory producing steel and an American factory producing cars from imported steel are both American factories. Why is it so important for the US to produce all of their steel domestically?

This made me want to look up if transfused blood even contains antibodies. An interesting thing I found was that receiving a blood transfusion around the same time as receiving certain kinds of vaccines can make the vaccine ineffective. If the donor already had immunity, their blood could contain enough antibodies to destroy the virus before the recipient’s own immune system can react to it.

I wondered if blood transfusions could work as a form of vaccination, but the transfused antibodies degrade quickly and aren’t replaced. If someone who wasn’t vaccinated for COVID received a blood transfusion from someone who was, the recipient would temporarily have increased immunity. However, the antibodies will degrade and won’t be replaced since the recipient’s immune system isn’t actually generating them.

Much of the economy only works because people believe in it. The UK had an economic crisis in 2022 when Liz Truss, Prime Minister for 50 days, passed a budget so terrible it tanked their stock market.

The budget included enormous tax cuts for the highest tax brackets, resulting in a £60 billion budget deficit, all while there was a cost of living crisis for the UK’s poorest. UK stocks plummeted so much over the thought that the Prime Minster had no idea how to manage the economy that it caused “safe” investments, like retirement funds, to start failing. The UK central bank stepped in and said they’d print money in order to keep safe investments liquid which likely stopped the UK from experiencing a great depression. Liz Truss resigned because of the fallout.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Trump hinting that the government might not honour their debts could collapse the economy.

Socialist fraternal brojob!

Just let the freaking creatives do their job and stop having some committee decide for them.

Reminds me of a joke I heard about Concord.

“Our marketing team was heavily involved in the making of our character designs”
“I can tell”

Just cool guys looking for other cool guys to join our militia. Nothing sexual. Fitness encouraged. You should be willing to fight for the working class. Again, nothing sexual.

You’re asking what corporate advertisements people enjoy on a platform that was created by and for people who dislike corporations.

Big deal! The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant met its 5 year goal in 3 seconds!

You ever try to put together a GUI? I absolutely get why they look like crap! Although I have been having fun playing around with egui.
