I both agree and disagree, I think Sonic does have normal eyes and those are his goggles, but I don’t think those are all the white of his eyes as we see them.
I think they look white just because that’s how the light reflects off them and they’re actually polarized lenses to help him see even when he’s traveling through deep sunset or sunrise when shit’s at its most blinding, or through brightly lit cities that can hit pedestrians with heavy glare.
Sex workers do sometimes offer reduced effective rates per hour for extended time.
Usually you’re not gonna be allowed to offer for those unless you’ve spent time with that worker already and they’ve decided you can at least be trusted enough to not go psycho with enough time on hand.
By the time you’re talking about overnight service, either they know ya and they like ya enough to spend an evening with you, or they’re advertising the package openly because they’re pretty confident that they can bring anyone who tries something funny down harder than a meteor, that kind of work makes folks stronk, and they ain’t afraid to use that if you’re fuckin’ around.
The only institution that performs more criminal and social background checks than the ATF and intelligence apparatus is America’s network of communicating sex workers.
IIRC Canada’s actually touching similar demographic diversity to the US, the difference is more in what demographics specifically since Canada tended to draw from the corners of the British Empire specifically while the US would draw folks from all the rest of the world as well.
So that’s what LinLin’s been up to since Onigashima. Good for her for finding a cause she believes in I guess? Though I’m not exactly sure someone who can’t tell the difference between blood and strawberry jam is the best choice for responsibility over such an effort.
In the past several weeks, I have watched dozens of sleek U.S. military planes descend over Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where I live. They were the first flights to land since gangs blockaded and halted commercial air traffic in March. U.S. news reports suggest that the aircraft contained...
Looks like they’re getting ready for whatever play they intend to make against the gangs and are trying to keep exacts on the hush hush to avoid the gangs being able to make preparations.
They’re called gangs in print but it’s worth remembering that these organizations have military training and equipment at their disposal far exceeding what you’d picture when someone says the word “gang”, at this point it’d be more accurate to consider them warlord bands.
I don’t have sources but I’ve heard tell the biggest gang right now is led by a guy who guys by BBQ, and his stated goals are basically a combination of Liberation rhetoric and demanding the government submit to his authority as the legitimate transitional executive.
Stuff contraband in pockets of opposite sides facing in if you stand side to side, pretend to be leaning on each other as you walk in with goodies well concealed.
Reminds me of that footage of the Chinese and Indian militaries beating the shit out of eachother with wooden sticks because they were worried even small arms fire could cause enough echo to start an avalanche.
So funny thing, apparently this here is actually a very small part of horse unit work, and the reason cities might still have a horse patrol is because they’re convenient to send out on heavy bar nights.
Why?
Because the drunks are all overgrown toddlers and drop the belligerent act because “shhhhhh don’t spook the horsey!!!”
That being said the vid of the one loser in London basically getting corralled like a misbehaving calf by a single patrol lady is still pretty damn funny.

Hi there, you seem to be equating death threats and harassment with voting with your wallet, which is wrong and stupid and you should fucking know better.
Also, if everybody else doesn’t need to feel pandered to in order to feel good buying a game with a protag that looks like you, you being so “principled” and “vote with your wallet” about games featuring characters that look like everyone else is pretty fucking sus.
You don’t live in a bubble of no context, where this energy at defending black consumers who aren’t interested in yet another generic brunette white male dudebrotagonist with the snarky quips even Spidey and Joss Whedon would be cringing at.
Shock of shocks, a company that refuses to work with a D&I consulting firm is soon found to have serious D&I problems.
Bro this is like saying there’s a conspiracy afoot because the cops “magically” showed up to arrest me just days after I shot someone in broad daylight, or that the tree “magically” only fell through your roof after you told the insurance salesman to fuck off, or that your house only flooded “magically” right after you told the plumbers you could handle the burst pipe yourself.
I wonder if those tenderizing properties are what make people swear by pineapple slices on pizza and burgers
Knowing how much Hawaiians love spam, they’re probably over the moon for accompanying elements that can compliment or add to or even concentrate those porkey and salty flavors
Nah there’s ways to prepare ham to be on the sweeter side, haven’t heard of it being done that way for pizza though. Usually it’s for a deli cut or charcuterie plate.
Ok who actually talks like this? I haven’t even seen TikTokkers talking like this, the one exception was when the writers for Elsbeth tried to write a zoomer/alphie tennis stadium worker
Plus being able to drive implies at least some degree of literacy
Unless Fred was raised by some of those middle of the woods car wizard redneck types that are dangerously close to keeping their vehicles together and running through Waagh energy
The IRS ain’t sending an agent to you specifically unless you’ve done something well beyond the pale of what can just be excused as a mix-up or simple misunderstanding
You gotta be in a whole different kinda space for the tax man to be someone you gotta personally interact with.
If it wasn’t for the meme page bit I wouldn’t have been surprised to find out this was an alt-wiki’s page on the guy who made the holy operating system
Isn’t unreal kinda famous for doing a fair bit of the optimizing for itself to get those crazy visuals? How did they fumble a package that was already half done for them?
Not even that, most souls games will have at least a couple of decently accessible items that will help you turn down the early game pressure if you want to make progress without having to do the whole git gud routine for every next corner in the road with a stone troll sitting on it.
Git gud is definitely more the first kind of grinding more than the second
Basically the theory that even if it’s like bashing your head against a brick wall, it’s gonna be extremely cathartic when you finally manage to knock that wall down
I actually disagree here, I believe a sandwich has to be thin enough in at least one dimension to facilitate a cross sectional bite with a normal amount of mouth opening.
Nobody should have to unhinge their jaw like a python to get a good bite of a properly made sandwich!
I actually think Burgers are often the worst offenders here
The point of it being a sandwich is that you can hold the whole thing or at least whole segment you’re monching in your hand, those super stack burgers are so big they need to be held up so that they don’t collapse under their own weight
That’s not a sandwich, that’s a pile of meat cheese and assortment with a side of two slices of your choice of bread or roll.
It can be delicious without having to be a sandwich, let it be it’s own beautiful mess of uncontained food that struggles to remain stacked even when laid back into a container
I feel I might be misunderstanding the scale of what I’m looking at, that looks like a perfectly reasonable example of a proper sandwich, easily held, able to be bitten in cross section without unhinging the jaw, unless you want to eat it vertically like a more orally painful version of the tumblr burrito rant.
Ah the classic “customers are just greedy assholes standing between me and my money!” school of games development, very popular with the tripple As as of late
See this and the dark ages theme makes me think we actually are going to see them try to pull off a complete FPS arsenal with no hitscans, or at least no pure hitscans.
If it works I could see it being a bold new direction for FPS design, why worry about balancing snipers if even your longest range weapons are still projectiles, also, why limit your arsenal design only to guns now that you don’t actually have the need to create that point and shoot sensation the same way. You could build an entire “FPS” that’s just snowball fighting and the different “weapons” in the arsenal are throwing implements.
Sounds kiddish but imagine being able to crack open a cozy game fps with some hot cocoa.
Honestly my first mental picture was something more like a really low rate of fire Splatoon except more about knocking down enemy “fortresses” instead of just coating the other side since… it’s snow, it’s already on both sides.
Different weapons would be stuff like slings for range, or a shovel for busting down snow castles, maybe it has a charged up projectile where your character gets a whole shovel full of snow and then lops it overhead to try and nail someone with an air mailed avalanche.
Also have an actual gun sometimes show up on the map but if you grab it all your shots miss for like ten seconds because funni.
I call them redcaps, and have a pretty clear definition, the kind of person who may or may not insist that they’re just bummed about economics or something, but when approached with progressive economic policy react by asking “…but can we still say the N Word?”
