You do know there's a reason for that voice difference in MGSV right?

Any backers if there are any, searching their name online to see about controversial decisions.

And then I default to replacing them. Most people vote to keep the status quo... I'd rather keep them on their toes.

Very few people even bother to clock the link. They only ever read the headline.

Beans on toast?

Checks out. Especially for the crazy people that refer to all sliced bread as toast, whether it's toasted or not.

It was someone that cheated in a tournament. Not a player in random match online. Although he probably tested the cheats there first.

It would be a state law. Dems in CA are much more likely to make sure it gets enforced compared to the federal level.

It's actually not that vague looking into it. They have to be readily identifiable. They can totally wear masks as long as their identifiable as police and not trying to disguise themselves. So things like SWAT and riot equipment already identify them as police.

It has an exemption for undercover officers, which already have existing requirements and paperwork associated for oversight. There is zero reason for any other officer to not be identifiable.

It requires intent to disguise, so effectively this just outlaws plainclothes officers, which should already not be allowed honestly. Too easy for them to escalate a conflict from within to then justify an escalated police response. Protesters aren't violent enough? Send Jeff and Bobby inside in plain clothes to start some shit.

They're basically extending an existing law making wearing a disguise while committing a crime a separate offense, to cover law enforcement while in the performance of their duties. It's already illegal for you to do this as a regular civilian, they're making it the same for law enforcement.

There is an exception for undercover officers. There is zero reason outside those situations for an officer to disguise themselves. SWAT aren't usually disguised, they are very clearly identified as police already and aren't trying to disguise themselves.

Plainclothes officers outside undercover assignments are already a grey area to be honest, too easy for them to purposefully escalate conflicts while making it look natural, and then justify a response to an escalation they created. ICE is just using that to their advantage here.

Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to wear a mask, false whiskers, or any personal disguise, as specified, with the purpose of evading or escaping discovery, recognition, or identification while committing a public offense, or for concealment, flight, evasion, or escape from arrest or conviction for any public offense. This bill would make it a crime for a law enforcement officer to wear any mask or personal disguise while interacting with the public in the performance of their duties, except as specified. The bill would exempt an officer engaged in an undercover assignment from these provisions. The bill would define law enforcement officer as any officer of a local, state, or federal law enforcement agency, or any person acting on behalf of a local, state, or federal law enforcement agency. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would declare its provisions to be severable. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

SB627 | California 2025-2026 | Law enforcement: masks. | TrackBill https://trackbill.com/bill/california-senate-bill-627-law-enforcement-masks/2670575/

This actually is not a particularly vague law. It's pretty clear cut, and requires an intent to disguise. With the ICE bitches there is a clear intent to disguise there and not identify themselves as law enforcement, they've even admitted that is the case.

The mask itself isn't the issue, it's the mask alongside not being not identifying themselves as police via something like a uniform or vest.

Lots of downtime at work at 3am. Might as well poke the Europeans since they're awake.

This is a reminder that military service does provide for naturalized citizenship, but it is not automatic. This is not well explained, if at, all by leadership.

That is not why fahrenheit works the way it does

You're entirely right, but it's fun to trigger people like you with a couple words that ultimately mean nothing.

You are projecting your own ignorance over billions of people, because you yourself have no idea how it works.

You mistake ignorance for simply not giving a fuck. I know what Celsius is, I know how it converts, I just don't care.

It's very entertaining to be able to trigger people at will to crawl out of the like bugs and talk shit online, wasting their time on a topic that doesn't matter in the slightest. It's usually the Europeans, they seem to have a superiority complex about this specifically for some reason and love typing at length about it. Most other countries outside the EU region don't bother, probably because it doesn't matter.

Also, here's the obligatory reminder to the Europeans that the US began using metric in 1866 and officially switched to the metric system in 1975, it just wasn't made mandatory to switch, so most didn't. Because it doesn't really matter for daily life which system is used.

You do realize the reason fahrenheit is set up that way, is based on the human perception of temperature. 0-100 is the general range or cold to hot. Of course some inhabited areas end up outside that range a bit, because humans are adaptable but generally speaking it allows for far more graduation in every day real world scenarios. Metric is good for science, but not ideal for casual everyday usage of hot and cold.

Your body doesn't really care what the boiling point or freezing point of water is. But you should and generally do need to preemptively plan for environments outside the fahrenheit scale.

That's when California started restricting firearms so heavily, under Republican leadership at the time.

The Republicans love to talk about CA gun restrictions, and conveniently leave out that they started it specifically to undermine citizens expressing their 2nd amendment rights in the state.

The Hunger Games probably made a crap ton of people learn the word.

So can the US military. We're talking about reality though, not what's technically legal.

They're going to make the soldiers' life a living hell for not following orders all the way through the inevitable court martial trial.

Yeah it is clear as day here. Airflow is inadequate while the product is in use on hotter days.

It's a screen made by Microsoft to match their aesthetic and settings pages, of course. But it's the exact same Google account sync system that every Chromium has, unless you're specifically using an unGoogled version.

This is literally the standard Google sync account stuff in every Chromium browser. Don't want it? Pick a browser that isn't Chrome based. That basically leaves Firefox or a handful of brand new alpha buggy browsers no one has heard of with dubious update potential.

Edge is a Chromium browser. This is the standard Chrome sync stuff from nearly every one of those.

The crazy part about this is we have no explanation for why they were using a modified version of Signal that allows for the type of message backup needed for archival purposes if they weren't doing that. They might as well just have installed the regular version of the app. The only explanation that seems to fit is to purposefully create an unmonitored security vulnerability by having that access available.
