Space dwarves making it to the future only to continue mining is a nice touch :D Aragami reminds me a lot of Thief, which I liked. Just sneaking everywhere. And –80% is nice :D Steam recommends Destiny 2, but I don't really like that game feel.. even if it's "free" ;p Also getting Dead Space 2&3 ($5 and $6).. so maybe I should actually *play* the first one :) Btw, some of these games come up under "TheRadBrad"'s YouTube channel when I search for gameplay footage. That guy is a little too annoying for gameplay demos.. He sounds like that Will Ferrell voice immodulation character ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDgez8QDAKo ) ;) .. "Heisenberg?" could actually be inspired by him anyway :p" Oo! That and/or "The Jackal" (1997), which has an a55a&&in@t1on attempt at the end which uses a remote-controlled weapon. I'm kind of surprised that that never caught on in a big way.. Or just combining the 1835 1nf3rnal machin3 with modern RC technology. I guess there just haven't been that many intelligent/capable people willing to do something that crazy ;)

Quasheda Pierce, 39, was burying her son Sincere Pierce at Riverview Memorial Gardens in Cocoa when a 16-year-old attending the service accidentally discharged a concealed gun, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said. The bullet went through the 16-year-old’s leg and struck the mother of the deceased, leaving her and the teen with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
Cherub Cow Member	Sat Dec 05 05:10:33 Florida seriously has issues. That's too much for one story. .. "seems a good place for trials... lots of extra hazards to stress-test them + if you hit someone you can just keep going like a real driver would" That's probably the exact reasoning used by their executives :D And since China has a lower price on human life, it's cheaper to get permission too (fewer regulations). ..

Vehicles can still survive on three, though, and I don't think it triggers the car to flip or anything. But car physics tend to be awful and unpredictable. Whatever engine they used to make Arma/DayZ doesn't handle mass and fast objects very well, though they've gotten a lot better with each update (most really bad glitches seem to be in older videos).

I mean, it shakes me to the core thinking about what I did to all those children—endorsing the Subway Kids’ Pak as a nutritious alternative to a real meal is an atrocity that no one should ever be subjected to. It was completely fucked up. When I finally get out of here, I swear I’ll never do something as obscene as shill for Subway ever again.” A teary-eyed Fogle also told reporters that he just hoped his own sordid criminal past would inspire others to avoid turning to a life of selling Subway products."

tumbleweed the wanderer	Tue Dec 15 17:58:15 HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A former Houston Police Department Captain was arrested and charged for running a man off the road and pointing a gun at his head in an attempt to prove claims of a massive voter fraud scheme in Harris County, according to a news release from the Harris County's DA's office. Mark Anthony Aguirre, 63, was arrested by Houston police Tuesday and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison. "He crossed the line from dirty politics to commission of a violent crime, and we are lucky no one was killed," Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said. "His alleged investigation was backward from the start - first alleging a crime had occurred and then trying to prove it happened." According to court documents, Aguirre told police that he was part of a group of private citizens called the "Liberty Center," who were conducting a civilian investigation into the alleged ballot scheme. According to Aguirre, he had been conducting surveillance for four days on a man who was allegedly the mastermind of a giant voter fraud scheme. Aguirre told authorities the man was hiding 750,000 fraudulent ballots in a truck he was driving. Instead, the victim turned out to be an innocent air conditioner repairman, court documents said. <cont'd> http://abc...ssault-liberty-center/8802235/

Weird end could be that they threw the package from a window or, as claimed, that they shot it. He also added a mechanism that prevents people from covering the smell sprayers, which seemed to work pretty well.. though it looks like he should have installed it on all four sides, since having it on only 2 sides allowed some people to cover it partially/completely again.

Cherub Cow Member	Thu Dec 24 01:58:05 I took a risk explaining this on Imgur ( https://imgur.com/gallery/RgPGAgr ), but I'm expecting downvotes simply for clarifying the misrepresentation that this guy was stopped for rolling up his window :p (Dillon Puente arrest BodyCam) [My comment]: "Slightly more BodyCam context: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGyX-u2S4OY ; (Warning; do not confuse this explanation for an excuse of the officer’s behavior). Dillon Puente was stopped for an illegal “wide right turn”. After being stopped, he rolled up his window to ¾ closed (FYI, this obstructs an officer’s view and can increase suspicion of a weapon; windows typically remain down during traffic stops). I.e., the stop was not due to the window being raised (that occurred afterwards), it was due to the wide right turn." On Imgur, even a small explanation like this can result in being called a "bootlicker", so lurkers usually just let the low level discourse continue there without interacting.. (And for the record, this officer messed up. Another case of low communication ability and making decisions based on ego. If he had explained why he was nervous about the window, then he would likely have gotten different results altogether.)

Cherub Cow Member	Thu Dec 24 21:48:00 "the arrest of the father in the last half of video seems more troubling" Definitely. That was all ego by the officer. The father just standing there recording should have had zero bearing on the officer's decisions, but it looked like the officer was angry and was looking for a way to make an arrest just because someone was questioning his actions. ..

Cherub Cow Member	Sun Dec 27 03:18:58 Not me, no :/ I got a new monitor last year, but aside from changing the brightness, I haven't done much. Whenever I push those buttons it makes the screen crooked, so I have to re-level it. It also has menus that don't have labels, just icons.. which I hate. It's like you need an Ovaltine decoder just to navigate ;D Speaking of monitors! I've recently been looking at the LG CX 48" OLED for a monitor. It has HDMI 2.1, so it can handle 4K at high frame rates. But..

Colors correspond to different countries/divisions: - Grey for Germany - Red for Canada - Blue for United States - Light blue for France - Yellow/Orange for Great Britain The YouTube description links to their webpage which lets you see individual units involved from day-to-day and splices them with location-tagged pictures when available: http://map.project44.ca/ Impressive consolidation of data. I think they chose high-visibility red for Canada because this was done by a Canadian group that wanted to really push Canada's involvement in the Allied effort ;p

Currently making the social media rounds..: Ohio gas station altercation results in strike to the face with iced tea can: (WARNING: audio is NSFW) http://twitter.com/i/status/1342002633679097858 This seems to be an example of the *intended* difference between "nigga" and "nigger". White hood rats, crack addicts, the homeless, and/or wiggers adopt "nigga" in the same speech that many black Americans do: as a substitute for "my brother", "friend", "dude", "bro", etc. The iced tea attacker, on the other hand, took a white person saying, "nigga," as *calling* him a "nigger" (an intentionally racial epithet), which preempted a violent response. This is one of those inflexible, cultural semantic oddities of the States. It's a case of protected speech existing only within socially regimented identity groups. So, not only is it just accepted by the U.S. Zeitgeist that only black Americans can say, "Nigga" ("bro"), without it meaning, "Nigger" (racial epithet), but the programing runs so deep that honor culture then demands a violent response just from hearing the word used by an out-group member. Simply saying one word can provoke a seriously asymmetric response. That's like the mythical power given to the gods of religion where a word creates a reality ("And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light."). So, anyways, nothing but losers here. The intoxicated man for instigating and the attacker for choosing to respond to words with violence. Each of them at best the king of a convenience store for one brief moment in time. ;)

Cherub Cow Member	Sun Jan 03 04:47:12 Steam Winter Sale ends January 5th at noon CST, so there's still time for purchases! :p Someone made a recommendation video for 2015's "Mad Max" game (–75%; now $4.99), so I may get that. Payday 2 is 90% off (now $0.99), so that's an easy purchase. Dark Souls III (–75%; now $14.99).. hmm.. I think I've considered getting those before but changed my mind :p

Cherub Cow Member	Mon Jan 04 13:58:07 lulz, yeah. Def seemed like she was expecting the railing to be there.. Solid fall :D .,. The phishing scams that I get have really been persistent lately. I wonder if it's because COVID has hurt the economies in Africa so they're getting more desperate, or maybe it's been lucrative lately because old people have been at home reading all of their e-mail? ;D A couple samples: • Google Photos Hosting <dma@hrvatskamail.com> G O O G L E P H O T O S We add new photos to your account. 1 albums, 3 photos Need more space?

Cherub Cow Member	Thu Jan 07 05:45:53 I remember that! I wasn't totally sure, but the dog running around was particularly familiar. .. I've been muted by two Imgurians this week, so, I suppose you could say things have been going swimmingly there ;) The reason this time was that someone made a post with a description saying, "This will get lost in user sub but..." which is an auto-downvote (one of those informal rules of Imgur that most people observe), so I posted, "“This will get lost in user sub” = -1", and someone got mad at me and started flaming, then called me a troll and muted me :p Anyways, despite all the D.C. posts on Imgur, this kneading cat made it through: http://imgur.com/gallery/Bq0p81t
tumbleweed the wanderer	Fri Jan 08 22:54:17 " John Dillermand has an extraordinary penis. So extraordinary, in fact, that it can perform rescue operations, etch murals, hoist a flag and even steal ice-cream from children. The Danish equivalent of the BBC, DR, has a new animated series aimed at four- to eight-year-olds about John Dillermand, the man with the world’s longest penis who overcomes hardships and challenges with his record-breaking genitals. Unsurprisingly, the series has provoked debate about what good children’s television should – and should not – contain. Since premiering on Saturday, opponents have condemned the idea of a man who cannot control his penis. “Is this really the message we want to send to children while we are in the middle of a huge #MeToo wave?” wrote the Danish author Anne Lise Marstrand-Jørgensen. The show comes just months after the TV presenter Sofie Linde kickstarted Denmark’s #MeToo movement. Christian Groes, an associate professor and gender researcher at Roskilde University, said he believed the programme’s celebration of the power of male genitalia could only set equality back. “It’s perpetuating the standard idea of a patriarchal society and normalising ‘locker room culture’ … that’s been used to excuse a lot of bad behaviour from men. It’s meant to be funny – so it’s seen as harmless. But it’s not. And we’re teaching this to our kids.” Erla Heinesen Højsted, a clinical psychologist who works with families and children, said she believed the show’s opponents may be overthinking things. “John Dillermand talks to children and shares their way of thinking – and kids do find genitals funny,” she said. “The show depicts a man who is impulsive and not always in control, who makes mistakes – like kids do, but crucially, Dillermand always makes it right. He takes responsibility for his actions. When a woman in the show tells him that he should keep his penis in his pants, for instance, he listens. Which is nice. He is accountable.” Højsted conceded the timing was poor and that a show about bodies might have considered depicting “difference and diversity” beyond an oversized diller (Danish slang for penis; dillermand literally means “penis-man”). “But this is categorically not a show about sex,” she said. “To pretend it is projects adult ideas on it.” DR, the Danish public service broadcaster, has a reputation for pushing boundaries – especially for children. Another stalwart of children’s scheduling is Onkel Reje, a popular figure who curses, smokes a pipe and eschews baths – think Mr Tumble meets Father Jack. A character in Gepetto News made conservatives bristle in 2012 when he revealed a love of cross-dressing. And Ultra Smider Tøjet (Ultra Strips Down) caused outrage in 2020 for presenting children aged 11-13 with a panel of nude adults, but, argues Højsted, such criticism was unjustified. “What kind of culture are we creating for our children if it’s OK for them to see ‘perfect’ bodies on Instagram – enhanced, digitally or cosmetically – but not ‘real bodies’?” she said. DR responded to the latest criticism by saying it could just as easily have made a programme “about a woman with no control over her vagina” and that the most important thing was that children enjoyed John Dillermand.

tumbleweed the wanderer	Sun Jan 10 17:54:19 i've figured something out maybe... those videos people make talking to the phone while driving always seemed weird to me, but perhaps during driving is the only time in the day their minds aren't distracted w/ other things (as the smart phone lets them surf shit no matter where they are) maybe this is already known #teamflipphone
Cherub Cow Member	Mon Jan 11 01:15:40 That kind of makes sense: Adorno's culture industry. It's like the old TV programming issue for the Internet Age.. like.. you get home from a 9–5 job, then there's Friends, Fraser, Simpson's, or whatever is prime time for that day. Then you have to consume the late shows, then it's bed time.. so most of the time goes to consuming media and not a lot goes to digesting or responding to it. The commute may be the only time some people have :p .. We need to begin discussing the crack epidemic facing our inner city kitties: http://imgur.com/gallery/Nly83Ve
tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon Jan 11 13:05:24 i just came here to post that :p (just saw on twitter) proof: http://twitter.com/theautismdad/status/1348703415254315011 & yeah, i was thinking how people used to walk around w/ heads up w/ nothing else to do but think... now they just walk around looking at phones & i wondered when they actually reflect on life... must only be while driving :p maybe videos of people talking while in bed trying to go to sleep will be the next wave
tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon Jan 11 17:02:53 given how much cats like sunny spots i was looking around if any heat lamps designed for cats... but seems Big Heat Lamp caters mostly to reptiles although did come across this good video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLzgQHW2k6g

Cherub Cow Member	Sun Jan 17 06:41:21 I wonder if the raccoon was just hiding there for the next heist, and the people who "saved" it were just ruining his sleep spot ;D .. "Sound of Silence on harp w/ bonus background activity" I found that one too! :D I didn't actually watch the video, though, so I missed the deer. ..oh, wait.. I must have played this non-blooper version, since that blooper's abrupt ending was new to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MsXDPqcrvM It seems like a lot of animals have enough emotional intelligence to feel something when music is played.. just like those videos where cows gather. Or the one where a man plays part of « Claire de lune » on piano for an elephant. Or the guy who plays piano with his cats trying to nuzzle him :D .. kitty endures being woken for a moment: http://imgur.com/gallery/i2bPS3u

Cherub Cow Member	Sun Jan 17 08:57:49 Short-film maker Joel Haver made a 3-part animated series that satires RPG gameplay in a nice narrative (each episode about 2 minutes; this link goes to the auto playlist): [November 20th, 2020 to January 12th, 2021] http://www...B29YkQlSKhxwsab4JlysSj&index=1 Pretty neat animation style. It looks like it used 3D models that they were able to do 2D painting on top of.. kind of like a simplified "Scanner Darkly". I'm guessing Blender was involved..
tumbleweed the wanderer	Sun Jan 17 12:35:21 on Game It Out, i found it odd he didn't comment on the name Grace on that person (or he renamed the person Grace, but didn't think enough viewers would know the reference & didn't talk about it... i don't really know the source either :p)
Cherub Cow Member	Sun Jan 17 23:33:43 Yeah! I wondered if maybe he had changed it before the edit of that scene and was just leaving the Easter Egg for subscribers or if that was just a crazy coincidence. It *has* to be an edit, right? :D .. You've gotta check out this video. Shh. Shh: "When someone shows you a video on their phone" [Joel Haver; December 6th, 2019] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9EWf-wXQ3o
