It's just sinking with style

Every time I see it I can't get past how hideous it looks. I just don't get it...who's the target demo for this thing? They've already been beaten to market by non-absurd looking trucks, how big could their market actually be?

Group A was wronged by entity B. Group A goes to court to seek restitution from entity B. Courts rule that entity B did in fact cause damages to group A and must be held liable.

That's all reparations are. Entity B is your government. It's the same legal entity as it was 190 years ago, regardless of the composition of the population it represents. If a group was wronged by their government, this is their only means to legal restitution. Unfortunately since the primary form of income for some governments is taxation, it means people complain about paying for things when that's not exactly what's happening.

The alternative is to say that if a government "runs out the clock" and is able to avoid responsibility until the population turns over, then they can no longer be held liable for anything they did prior to that point. That's not a very good position, in my opinion.

I thought it was okay, which as you said is almost par for the course, but it felt like a generic Marvel movie whereas the first two had some fun heist elements to them. Gave them a unique feel within the MCU that I missed in this one.

Well how are you defining meat? Terrestrial insect meat and crab or lobster meat is structurally pretty much the same. It's all muscle fibers.

The big difference is that you can't really extract the insect meat like you would with a crab, so you're stuck eating the whole thing, meat and everything else, which is probably where a lot of the apprehension comes from. And to be fair I think that's a pretty big difference. A lot of cultures try to avoid eating "everything else" up and down the food chain.

A viral tweet stated that we are not a Democracy, we're a Republic, and Republicans collectively nodded their heads in agreement.

Aside from that, I think many Americans don't believe American democracy is currently working in their favor, leading to apathy or outright hostility towards democracy itself.

The issue of climate change is routinely one of the most important issues for young people, so perhaps she played a role in that.

The question itself is pretty useless because how could we possibly quantify a single activist's contribution to a global issue?

This would cover things like hunting and/or target practice at a home or private property, so not entirely that weird.

I'm also using Niagara, it's a really fun but simple design.

I think they're suggesting an aggregate feed from some number of concurrently logged in users.

SOCOM IV

Waited for a long time for that one and unfortunately they couldn't resist COD-ifying it. It's a shame because they had some cool things in it, loved the bomb defuser escort game mode.

(1-12)/(1-31)/(XXXX)

I don't think it's an entirely ridiculous format.

Memorization is a skill humans are generally really, really good at. If you put in enough time, there's a good chance you'll be able to regurgitate what you put in, both in words and actions. That's enough to get you through most schooling. When you step outside of memorization is when people like this run into trouble.

Hopefully word of mouth can drive interest if it really is good, because the marketing for it so far has felt very much like another generic DCU movie and Blue Beetle obviously doesn't have the name recognition that the other franchises do.

Quit playin' games with my heart

If there's one thing to take to heart from Joe Rogan, I think it's this quote of his:

I'm not a doctor, I'm a fucking moron

I don't know what will happen with Twitter. Maybe it succeeds, maybe it fails, maybe it just keeps humming along in mediocrity. But what I do know is that wherever it ends up, there was surely a much simpler way to get there.
