I like this tweet because it makes a harmful, incorrect stereotype about gamers who then respond with outrage about it while game journalists laugh and retweet the lie to perpetuate their narrative about toxic masculinity. Just angry people all around.
So who do you call when someone's trying to break into your house to rob, rape, or otherwise harm you or the people you care about?
Asian (illegal) immigrants used to be prime targets of criminals because they didn't trust the police enough to call them. Easy pickings.
If these people wanted to provide federally-subsidized firearms to every family, it might work. But they want to ban guns, so only criminals own guns and they don't want the police to exist, either. The left is insane.
The “common cold” is hundreds of different rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, coronaviruses and influenza viruses (and some others) that present the same symptoms.
Humans are tough but we’re also prone to a multitude of infectious diseases. We can survive most of these things and they proliferate precisely because they don’t do much harm. Viruses need living hosts to spread. Viruses that kill tend not to spread very easily or for very long.
What makes COVID19 so scary (to epidemiologists) is that it spreads more easily than the flu, it’s hard to detect because symptoms don’t present immediately, and it’s a magnitude more lethal than your regular infection to vulnerable (obese, elderly, pre-existing issues) people.
Ryanair is so stupid. They listened to a fake tip from Belarus about a bomb threat and landed a plane bound for Lithuania in Belarus that was carrying a journalist wanted by the authoritarian government for his opposition efforts.
If I was at RFERL or the US State Dept. I’d be fucking furious right now.
If this is true (no way to verify that it is) then NATO needs to take action. You can’t just threaten to shoot down an internal European flight from Greece to Lithuania.
Also just speaking in general, the top 5 female tennis and golf players can’t even match up against the top 1000 male players in either of those sports.
Women have to use women’s golf clubs because most of them are too short to handle the men’s clubs. Arms just aren’t long enough and the men’s clubs are too heavy for women to get a proper swing.
Law Abiding Citizen. Decent movie with a crackhead’s execution of an ending.
He should’ve successfully killed the whole corrupt system and outsmarted the lawyer by not only predicting but planning the “discovery” of his escape hatch/lair. The ending makes absolutely no sense given that this guy’s Von Clausewitz and playing chess 20 moves ahead.
It’s like Death Note, right? The protagonist/anti-hero is always 20 moves ahead. You can’t have him go full Flowers for Algernon at the end. Feels like a bad script rewrite to appease focus groups.
