zabadoh,

TIL Lindsay Lohan not dead from drugs, alcohol.

zabadoh,

Raul Julia’s Bison makes that movie.

The “It was Tuesday” meme in the fighting game community comes from there.

To think he must have been in pain while dying from cancer while he was acting…

zabadoh,

The official reason for the introduction of the six-day work week is that there is a shortage of skilled workers on the Greek labor market as the population keeps shrinking and the country losing scores of thousands of workers who fled during the economic and austerity crisis in search of jobs in other countries.

So “The austerity and beatings will continue until morale improves.”

zabadoh,

What is this?

Shit News Source Day?

zabadoh, (edited )

This is likely fake news.

If true, this would be an important story, but it hasn’t been picked up by any major news outlets as far as I can tell.

I am corrected by @sprack and retract my comment.

zabadoh,

I stand corrected, thank you!

zabadoh,

Or place the figure in context:

120 million is about 1/3 of the population of the United States (about 350 million), or 1/4 the population of the EU (about 448 million)

Imagine if 1/4-1/3 of the country that you reside in suddenly became refugees, and needed emergency shelter, water, food, etc.

Of course, in the actual countries or regions where the refugees are coming from, things are even worse.

zabadoh,

A surprise move from long time Russian-backed Armenia, due to Russia’s lack of recent support for its struggle against Turkey-backed Azerbaijan over ethnic cleansing of ethnic Armenians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

zabadoh,

Requires installation of weird undefined “CutoutPro” shit.

That’s a nope from me, dawg.

zabadoh,

Yes, I did try to install it on Windows.

Still, that really disqualifies it from being open source…

Like “free” software requiring installation of weird browser toolbars back in the day. I still have nightmares about those things.

In this case, I can believe that Chiquita didn’t set out to finance the AUC, but was unfortunate in that their banana plantations fell into AUC-controlled territory, and therefore were extorted for protection money.

It’s like if I owned an Italian restaurant, the mafia comes in and extorts me for protection money, then the feds come and arrest me for financing the mafia. What was I supposed to do?

edit: I didn’t know about Chiquita. Thanks for the replies and info!

zabadoh, (edited )

Enjoy your burned out restaurant…

edit: I retract my comment due to prior ignorance about Chiquita’s corporate behavior.

zabadoh,

Yes, that’s happening in all advanced countries due to declining birth rates.

zabadoh,

Looks like he could use less nutrition himself.

zabadoh,

The Guardian has an international writing staff.

The author of this article, if you click on her name, for example:

Rachel Leingang is a democracy reporter focused on misinformation for Guardian US. She is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Here’s her LinkedIn, saying she has 10 years of reporting experience after going to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications in Arizona for 4 years. www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-leingang-6a044b2a

zabadoh,

Kilauea’s kind of constantly erupting isn’t it?

zabadoh,

Skydance: Started and run by Larry Ellison’s son, David Ellison, and being that, it’s impossible for him to run out of money.

I hope he’s a Trekkie.

zabadoh,

I wish that made me more confident that they can make decent Trek movies and TV, but it doesn’t

zabadoh,

It just goes to prove that if you have enough money, you can always find some woman to jump on your withered dick.

zabadoh,

On the other hand, her faith in Mortal Kombat appears to be genuinely sincere.

zabadoh,

The labeling on any kind of product doesn’t represent where it came from.

China makes all kinds of shtuff with English and a zillion other languages, and localizes them for export.

I’m sure American arms manufacturers do the same.

zabadoh,

I’ll leave that up to your expert opinion.

zabadoh,

An ammunition in possession of an army is that army’s bomb, regardless of who made it.

There could an Israeli-made bomb in the possession of Hamas, for example, but one wouldn’t call it an Israeli bomb except under very specific context.

I see nothing wrong with this speculation, from a US point of view: A wave of Mexican climate refugees from Mexico City could fuel the Republican propaganda machine tar Biden as being soft on the border, and help Trump. Even though sadly Republicans in the Senate are blocking a bipartisan Senate border security bill.

Although Mexico is having a presidential election too, which makes the statement somewhat ambiguous, although Mexico’s election day is really soon on June 2nd, which is well before summer.

zabadoh,

This feels like something that would happen in some version of Civilization, the 4X game.

zabadoh, (edited )

He’ll quite possibly be the first Saint to have the porn stash on his hard drive or phone thoroughly reviewed and analyzed by theology students.

zabadoh,

The drop in global fertility has fuck-all to do with glyphosate.

The article doesn’t comment on linking fertility and glyphosate in sperm either way, but it’s worth researching, if someone hasn’t studied that already.

zabadoh,

Killing weeds never felt so good!

zabadoh,

Most plants survive just fine on their own.

What spraying herbicide like glyphosate does is evolutionarily select for pesticide resistant weeds, aka superweeds. Free gift link for you.

zabadoh,

It’s a statement of suspicion, not a conclusion of causality towards glyphosate specifically.

zabadoh,

Human figures are easier to draw without clothes on. This is true of all figure art, not just anime.

Draw the figures first, get those accurate, then add the clothes.

zabadoh,

Mr. Frundles located.

zabadoh,

Actually Fico ran on the pledge to stop Slovakian military aid to Ukraine.

“Populist” means far right Russian stooge these days.

www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66972984

“If (Fico’s party) Smer enters government, we will not send a single round of ammunition to Ukraine,” (Fico) recently told supporters. (Before the election, which Smer won)

zabadoh,

How is decades of outsourcing US manufacturing to China working out?

All that just to bust unions in the US in a race to the bottom.

Congratulations corporate Americans, your plan has succeeded!

zabadoh,

Lack of religious fanaticism is actually a good thing.

Another article says about 55% of Vietnamese identify as Buddhist, but if few of them say they are religious, that makes for a better, less uptight society.

zabadoh,

That headline didn’t come out right…

zabadoh,

Cue Monty Python:

“This for your benefit!”

zabadoh,

Speaking as a US citizen, why are we, and the EU, letting Russia and China eat our lunch in Africa, economically, politically, and militarily?

zabadoh,

He met some cosplayers who built one by following the historical documents.

zabadoh,

That’s like saying you shouldn’t feed the hungry because that makes solving the plague of locusts impossible.

“We should trap the starving in with the locusts until they work out their differences.”

/s, obviously.

zabadoh,

Boo!

Boo, again I say!

It makes life so much harder for Trans living in parts of the world where Catholicism is still relevant.

zabadoh,

The US and Biden knew exactly how Israel has been genociding in Gaza for months.

Simple humanitarianism and common sense should have spurred action long before.

Only now that Biden’s voter base has brought it to his attention is he using harsh language?!? Off camera?!?

Biden and his advisers are not in touch with their humanity, and that’s not a good look for his re-election.

zabadoh,

Yellen’s basically saying the Chinese are selling green energy products below cost, aka “dumping” without actually using the word, which would be an accusation of unethical conduct.

Foreign manufacturers, especially those with nation-state support, do “dumping” to grab market share and destroy local competition. The foreign companies eat the initial losses, but then they can raise prices after local companies are destroyed, acquired, or hopelessly behind and competition has been effectively eliminated.

zabadoh,

I can agree with that, but try getting Congress to fund it…
