Yeah, my first thought was the cops, too. That’s usually when the authorities hush up.

There’s definitely two different dialects now, from the Oklahoma Cherokee and North Carolina Cherokee. That’s simply from the difference between the two. For instance, in the Cherokee Nation, we say “Osiyo” as a greeting, but the Eastern Band of Cherokee say “Siyo”. It’s still written the same way, but it’s an interesting way to see language change in such a recent time (the trail of tears was 1831). Kind of like Spanish in Mexico vs Chile or Spain.

The language itself is very old (an Iroquoian language base), but the syllabary was created in 1821.

Thanks for linking those. I can tell you that most people that know English as a first language have very little to no knowledge about the history between Poland and Ukraine. Like many things in the international world, it’s very complicated. But now I understand it a little better. I would agree that Poland is under no obligation to support a government that can’t seem to separate it’s independence from fascist leaders of the past, which does raise questions about the direction of the future. Yes, Ukraine needs to be free. They need an the help they can get. But what if they win, and fascism takes hold?

I mean, look at how the US is falling to fascism. People aren’t careful enough.

You’re the one that brought up “unexpectedly”. This is on you, buddy. You’re not arguing in good faith, so whatever next smarmy thing you say will be the last word. Enjoy.

An unexpected kiss is a far cry from unexpected genitalia. Are you trying to equate “sudden tacos” to “sudden penis” just because of the word sudden? Of course not. Cmon, use some common sense.

Also, this isn’t out of character for him based on the many stories he’s already had come out.

The context is “suddenly”.

Doesn’t sound anything like Aziz Ansari’s bad date that was overblown.

Maybe give us a quick synopsis? I live in neither country so I don’t know the nuances you’re referring to. Did Ukraine officially say something against Poland? Or a portion of Polish government? You’re pointing to a blog post and not a news outlet, so that’s a very niche source and not typically deemed credible in the US (where I live). If you have a link to like The Guardian, or something like that, I’d absolutely believe it.

He did likely make off with all of our previously government-only information, though. He’ll feed it through grok to try to catch up, and be shocked when Russia or whoever steals it.

So he’s got that going for him.

I’d be more worried that the panel is running plasma though it. Plasma that often violently explodes when the ship takes damage. He really trusts those panels with his butt.

Well damn, that makes a lot of sense. And sounds fun. I would play it if I didn’t disagree with Ubisoft’s business practices so much.

I’m surprised that Yasuke was the source of the problem. They had a Netflix show about him a few years ago, and before that there was Afro-Samurai which I believe was also somewhat based off of him. I can’t imagine using the only black man in Japan at the time would lend itself to being stealthy (any race but Asian, specifically of Japanese decent, would have stood out back then), but I also haven’t played the game so I don’t know if stealth is even a mechanic in this franchise anymore.

I figured people would be mad about Ubisoft’s business practices and watering down of the AC franchise in general. That’s been a talking point for years.

That being said, this is the perfect response: take away the anonymity of keyboard warriors and get them to own their words. It’s a lot harder to be mean when it’s two people, face to face. The problem is, most people don’t have time to confront everyone online.

I feel like they used a lot of help from ProTools to make him some better on that one, though. Since there want really auto tune back then.

Kind of like how COVID reset our expectations on everything. Bare shelves at Christmas might reset what we really need to buy.

I feel like Worf sanitized it for Wesley. I doubt love poetry worked for everyone, because it’s either spur of the moment or everyone’s heard it before. More likely, the males talked dirty while ducking. That seems more in tune with Klingon culture.

I would love to know more, especially how law enforcement is tracking us, but this has a paywall. So I guess I’ll die in ignorance.

Until we find that Nestle is just bottling the same tap water at twice the price. Oops!

I doubt it matters what we think anymore. It barely did before, but I can’t see any light at the end of this American Experiment tunnel.

It also depends on what access they have. Easiest would be to axe subsidies to oil companies, but no way they’re be able to just do something like that. There’s too much protection around that money.

Of course, if they’re doing exactly as DOGE, they suck and I’m glad they’re blocked because DOGE has made terrible decisions.

Whatever glue they’re using has a different expansion/contraction rate than the stainless steel, and the fairly smooth metal doesn’t give much surface area to hold, anyway. So in cold or hot days, you’re going to see separation.

And it doesn’t help when they don’t even glue the right pattern from the factory.

Rachel Maddow and her blistering burns aren’t going to stop trump or save us from musk. They’re throwing sticks and stones while she’s throwing words that’ll never hurt them.

We need actual action. Ideally from elected officials pushing back, public figures, and every citizen refusing to be sucked into the MAGA cult and their objectives.
