How about FF7 pt 17 Kingdom Hearts boogaloo

I use old.reddit in desktop mode still, on occasion. Today I clicked on a screenshot of a game cause I wanted more detail. I was directed to the new Reddit interface. I right clicked on the image and chose “open image in new tab” and got the new Reddit interface. I tried CTRL-scroll to zoom in the image, and it made the UI elements larger and in the process shrunk the image. I left the site.

I try to explain this around Christmas and everyone looks at me like I pissed in their breakfast.

There are other weird things on here.

Countries that didn’t exist during British actions, for example. Finland has only existed since 1917 in its current form – when did the UK invade them? Participate on the opposite side of a war? Yes.

And others, like Canada, were largely created by treaty. Canadians if different political stripes might argue that the treaties were unfair in retrospect, and thus it qualifies as an invasion, but that’s a bit of a stretch of the definition. True enough, the British fought the French in Quebec and that could constitute an invasion, but Canada didn’t exist then.

Then there’s the invaded vs liberated debate…

There are many others here and one could go on at length.

Why would you bother with the cable?

It’s playing at Polo Park. Sooooo worth it.

The most ridiculous thing here is the assumption that Canadians would ever be more than Puerto Ricans in this scenario.

(1) We’d only ever join under duress

(2) If democracy still exists in the US, we wouldn’t be given the vote, because we’d vote against them

(3) If democracy doesn’t exist anymore, then whether we are called a state or not is irrelevant

(4) Canada gets turned into a strip mine with everyone conscripted to go fight against Mexico or whatever Roman Empire-style nonsense follows so that we can’t organize resistance

War of 1812 called

NHL games with 10 min OT just mean six people on each team have to each play five more minutes each night. They’ll just play this super conservative possession game for ten mins. We either need to bring back the tie, or scrap the loser point. Force people to push.

Fascism requires enemies, both internal and external. These enemies need to be painted as simultaneously: weak and can be crushed; but also so dangerous that they are destroying the country. Once the population accepts this rhetoric, the government can literally do anything.

Did they think they could drive faster than the radar who catch them or something?

Or, hear me out, they went public and now they are making their product worse as enshittification takes its toll.

Mercury feeling excluded

That whole album is very nice :)

Saw this a few nights ago and it’s amazing. Prediction: it’s going to surpass Phantom of the Paradise as Winnipeg’s cult favourite film.

We are doomed

Mine does this too. The combo of the noise of the coffee maker and the smell probably reinforces the routine.

That would fail Occam’s Razor. Furthermore, the article talks about iron.

Cinnabar is actually super rare. I’ve spent half my life doing mineral exploration and have never seen it in the wild anywhere. I’ve only ever seen samples in the lab or in a museum.
