Bestiary of Dragons and Giants (1987)

Exhibit A:

Sorry, we've already assigned you the role of eggman.

I just flicked through a full month of their posts on Bluesky, assuming I'd find some that could plausibly be seen as harassment. I found nothing other than spotlighting of public representatives who have accepted Israeli lobby money, presented factually; the rest is pretty much all endorsements of alternative US governmental candidates.

Could you spotlight a few posts that demonstrate what you're saying?

First archive of the page:

Respect

In the old days of feudal Japan, a samurai warrior would shout "Mi no hodo o shire!", 'Know your place!' at anyone who dared to show insufficient respect. And with that, a sword would be brought swiftly down upon the poor unfortunate's head. Well, you might not have to fear a sword any more but it would still be wise to always remember your place. Even if you don't have the language skills, a softening of the voice, a discreet awareness of the other person's personal space and undemonstrative body language go a long way showing respect.

Later versions seem to have "身の程を知れ", but it looks like they changed the page a few times.

I can tell it's a recent photo because it's in a healthcare center and the computer's running Windows Vista. They'll get the upgrade to Windows 7 in a few years.

recent upstream [GIMP] changes have moved in directions that don’t fit Artbox’s focus. [...] Artbox will now remain as a stable, maintenance-only project. Updates will be limited to essential fixes or build adjustments when necessary. [...] Without the need to maintain a rebase, I can simplify development and use AI-assisted refactoring to turn it into a lean, specialized digital painting application.

This doesn't inspire much confidence in me that the project will see much regular enhancement and development.

I think the difference is the perception of whether a piece of Lego is "a Lego"; in Europe, that's typically not the way the word is used.

I started writing a rebuttal that amused me until I noticed I'd misread your comment, and I don't want to delete it, so despite being irrelevant to what you've said...

How many super glues do you use for a repair? Do you play on an astroturfs field? Are people carrying maces in their bag for self-defence? Do you eat Jell-Os and burn kerosenes?

Torisashi too - raw chicken sashimi. I think they sometimes blanch it.

I believe early burgers and Hamburg steaks were very often served raw or rare. That's not to say there's no risk -- of course there is -- but it's not wild.

Similarly, steak tartare is really available in restaurants across France (and perhaps in the States?) and is raw ground beef.

Haha, I had no idea what this prop (or character?) was but it looked like a false mustache in a frame or noticeboard, and I was scrambling for extra observations to add credence to the conspiracy.

This doesn't explain Kaiser Wilhelm peeking over the bar in OP's photo, nor the Abwehr disguise kit on the wall.
