I hate that this is a thing, but so far I’m pretty sure Steam hasn’t emailed all its users any Nazi symbolism.

That would kill someone. Twice. I guarantee he did not go 150 -> 0 -> 250.

I’ve talked for years about something I call the Cupholder Quotient. Number of cupholders divided by number of people seated comfortably in a car. Greater than one is good. It’s an off the cuff measurement of a car’s design quality and it tends to be pretty accurate. The more cups a car is designed to support per passenger, the more likely the designers were empathically considering how the vehicle might be used from the passengers’ perspective.

Stede Bonnet, Gentleman Pirate. The HBO show Our Flag Means Death was a highly fictionalized accounting of his story, but the general outline is right: wealthy landowner gets tired/bored of life with his family and buys a ship to go become a pirate. He is, understandably, terrible at it, and runs into Actual Goddamned Blackbeard, who pretty much just steals his lunch money then and there, but after a time decides to help a brother out and actually teaches Stede to be a not completely shit pirate. Neither one lasts much longer before getting caught and executed, but what a bizarre and hilarious journey.

First glance I thought it was another photo of the reflecting pool.

I think it’s important to at least begin with a minimally presumptive stance to avoid engaging in false rhetoric. That it was an accidental war crime is still utterly heinous. We can express doubt about it being an accident, but we should examine it from the “best case” angle first before tackling that separately.

Wh… where can I get one of those?

Noted , thanks!

I can explain. The kid ordered everything on theirs, the parent ordered nothing but meat, rice, sour cream, cheese, and extra victim complex.

Thanks, I’ll poke at it.

The good news is that this could be a sweetheart deal because he sang like a canary.

I think the ex-fascists subgroup you mentioned, addressed in this question, is actually representative of intrinsic critical thinkers whose nature overcame their upbringing. These I think are quite natural lemmings (a particularly ironic name).
