I've been able to get a good look at the shotgun used from another source. The barrels are held together with electric tape, suggesting that the weapon is homemade. The shells are improvised too.

Are there shells? People have reporting a good deal of smoke, which indicates black powder. I figure he just loaded black powder & shot into the gun, similar to an old school musket, then used electronic current (the wire around the gun) to ignite it. Points for creativity I guess.

I hate when people react to reactions to thier own reaction videos. It's peak 2020's internet for me. They are too lazy to find even new things to react to, so they react to someone else's reaction video of thier previous video. I'm waiting for them to add one more layer of reactions, since it can keep going forever, like some recursive hell.

I always love when I use my turn signal to try to move over into the right most lanes and the car behind me thinks that it is a swell time to try to pass me on the right. They don't even put on a turn signal while doing this. I'm like bitch, don't you see my turn signal, I was entitled to that lane.

Nah, you see, we sent a message stating that if we had to fight for freedom, we would take the entire empire with us, with emphasis on the if; The Queen did what was best for the Commonwealth.

Eh, talk is cheap. Ultimately it still came down to the fact that Canada was a net loss on the books & was not worth dealing with. It wasn't like Britain didn't put down rebellions in Canada before. Britain was mostly happy the Canadians would be nominally British and pay deference to the crown, since managing the region was more trouble than it was worth.

Nice imagine the crowd naked that always helps me

I've never performed live I just like to imagine large groups of people naked

Yeah, but don't you have to focus on what you are doing? I mean, you can't be staring at people's imaginary tits all concert.

Yeah, but merch is only for hardcore fans. Some random grandparent going to Walmart to buy some games or cards is going to usually see some other monster on the cover & will not necessarily recognize Pikachu & they certainly aren't going to know its name. On the other hand, Mario is unmistakable: he is everywhere in the Nintendo aisle, been around forever and has a easy to remember name and is always featured front and center in the games he is part of.

Yeah, but America had to win thier country through conquest. Canada was so worthless England pretty much gave it away for free. They pretty much nagged thier way to independence.

They have a face only a mother can love

Sure there are 100s of Pokmon but Pikachu is the face of the franchise and has been since the start pretty much

Not really. There are plenty of Pokemon games that don't feature him & even ones that do frequently have other Pokmon on the cover. Mario is not only on the cover of every Mario game, but he is the face of Nintendo.

the sheer amount of merchandise means that even if you were from before the pokemon craze, you've probably bought a nephew or grandkid some cards, a strategy guide, some plushies, some shirts, some figures, etc. the only mario paraphernalia i've ever really seen someone own is a belt buckle from the captain lou albano days

Yeah, but it is about most the recognizable character, not franchise. There are hundreds of Pokemon, but only one Mario. He's the protagonist in the game series named after him, a game series that has been around since the 80s and single handedly revived the video game industry. I mean, unless a person has been living under a rock for the last 4 decades they are going to know who Mario is, but I certainly can see older people not knowing what a Pikachu is.

I would say Mario. Pikachu is recognizable by zoomers, but not so much boomers. Pacman is recognizable to boomers, but not so much zoomers. However, Mario is recognizable both to zoomers & boomers. Plus with Nintendo getting away from some of more thier more "obscure franchises" such as F-Zero, Star Fox, Donkey Kong, ect, it seems like they spam Mario more than ever. There was a time I feel like you could've been a Nintendo fan and never played a Mario game. Now a days that is not the case. It feels like it is Mario, Zelda & Pokemon & that is it.

lmao the dude had a trial... That is due process genius

Based off ex post facto laws initially imposed by a foreign army. I understood the need to bend the rules to get at the leaders to show the world that this is unacceptable, but it is an obvious case of victor's justice & going after the lower level underlings that didn't have much of a choice in the matter seems unnecessary and petty.

Tell that to someone who lost half their family in the Holocaust

And I'm sure his imprisonment is going to satisfy thier bloodlust ,erm, sense of justice. Plus I love how everyone just throws out any sense of due process by calling a person a Nazi (which everyone in Germany was at the time, it wasn't exactly voluntary.). Forget the man's complicity, just lynch him.

Far-Queue posted...

Yes. Justice for the families and descendents of the victims of the Holocaust.

To let a Nazi like this skate simply because they're fucking decrepit would be a failure of the justice system to address the pain and suffering he either directly or indirectly caused.

I seriously doubt prosecuting a low level mook close to 80 years after the Nazi party has been dismantled is going to address much of anything.

what in the actual fuck? I hope this is just a joke. Im furious

Yeah, people on the Sonic forums are doomposting like crazy. Its bad enough that they used the disliked prototype music, but they remixed the disliked prototype music to be even worse. Like almost every track besides the ICZ sounds muffled, like it is coming from a genesis sound fronts asshole. The CNZ 2 mix sounds discordant & the LBZ 2 theme has volume levels that are all over the place. It is amateur hour on the remixed ost.

Then it is a bunch of questionable design designs about game itself. Like why isn't there a toggle switch for lives in anniversary mode or unlimited lives in classic mode. Why can't I level select from the save menu ala Sonic Mania, but have to do the cheat code? Plus looking at the cut scenes in the game, there is a lot of scenes with Amy, yet no fricken playable Amy. Why do they have to torment us like that, although the later is more of nitpick I suppose. I mean if they can't even do a live toggle, they certainly aren't going to add a new character.

Man, can you imagine working at these things *shudders*.

I grew up in an affluent area, and what is known as the more educated part, and they seemed to gloss over it...so much white washing in my area.

Because it is mostly a regional holiday. The emancipation proclamation came several years before & the 13th amendment only a few months more. Texas was like the Japanese dude stuck on an island thinking WW2 was still in effect when it was ended several years earlier. Plus it took like hundred years more for blacks to have the same legal rights as whites, so it was at best a job half done. Kind of a pointless holiday to be honest, but no one is going to criticize another day off I suppose.

I don't think I ever spent more than $200 on a phone. Although, prefer smaller phones, so those gigantic premium monstrosities are off my list

No. It is kind of sad because I will befriend people with the intention of playing games with them, but they will sit on my friends list without ever being being contacted ever again. Kind of a waste really

Yeah, your "final meal" is even a cup noodle in that game. Like, I have been saving this cup noodle for only special occasions. Not a nice bottle of wine, a fricken cup noodle.

About one week. It gives me that rugged look (or so I think), but doesn't put me in caveman territory.

It is indeed cool, but 500 bucks for a bunch of plastic feels a little bad man.

The chicks get the Lolita wear, whereas the dude gets the gas mask & weird Arab head scarf thing. Sucks for him I guess. Too uncool to get the ikeman treatment.

I don't think they're competing with Pepsi. Pepsi sells less than half what Coke does at retail, sells their 24s at a discount to even acheive that, and snaps up every restaurant contract available in a desperate attempt to make up some of the difference.

Cutting down on sugar and carbonation reduces input costs. THe standard bottle of Coke here is now 500ml rather than 591, with no associated price reduction. Mini cans sell for more than regular cans. Coke is so far ahead of Pepsi that they can sell less product for more money with no noticeable reduction in market share. THey're doing his because they can, and it makes more money for them.

Yeah, you are probably right. Cheaping out tends to be the answer for most corporate decisions. Although, to muddy the waters a bit, in the 80s Coke did replace thier previous version of Coke with New Coke to explicitly compete with Pepsi, so there must've been some type of fear that the marketing & sales team saw for them to try to copy Pepsi at one time. And yeah the blow back was enough for them to switch back almost immediately, but I wouldn't preclude that logic for switching to be totally eliminated and for them to change the flavor on the down low.

One of the people in my neighborhood has a little metal grate in a part of his wooden fence. His dog likes to lurk near the grate, so people will walk along the fence unable to see the dog until they get to the grate, whereupon the dog will bark and attempt to attack them. Pretty much scares them every time, since you will look to your side & see about a foot or two away a large dog trying to bite your face off. I loath that dog, pretty much flick it off every time I go by it.

Jeeze, who doesn't know how to breathe.

I feel like they have reduced the carbonation as well in coke. Even if they reduced the sugar marginally (39g of sugar is still a crap ton in a 12 oz can), the reduced amount of carbonic acid is going to make the drink seem sweeter in addition to making the drink smoother. They certainly have been screwing with the recipe a lot over the years to compete with Pepsi.

and yet it is still a court of law in a first world country

so yes, it very much does matter

the only reason it doesn't matter to you is because it is evidence that you are wrong

Yeah, because Heard, the lead witness, spouting hearsay behind close doors is such a fair and effective practice. You don't think that testimony is going to be rife with bias. And if you think that her lying under oath is going to stop her, remember she lied about donating the 7 million under oath, so the oath isn't too much to her.

Adam_Savage posted...

and the uk court system

but they don't really count, huh

No it doesn't. It would violate several constitutional amendments in America & all rulings would be mistrials if its system was used in the US. So it is not much of a court system by our standards. Different laws too.

Adam_Savage posted...

thinking both people are shitty people for doing shitty things is a ludicrously contrarian take?

bro that is the default take

Thinking both are abusers, huge difference. Abuser gets you cancelled for life as a man, being a shitty person not so much. Especially when your take is based on Heard's testimony (the only evidence pointing to Depp as an abuser) which has been proven to be fraudulent it becomes more dubious.

Jen0125 posted...

it is completely hopeless with some of these guys lmao it's crazy. get off the internet and go touch grass.

Says the person that is taking one of the more ludicrously contrarian takes on the trial I have seen. Talk to some of you coworkers about the trial. See how many agree with your absurd assessment. You think I am out of touch, me several hundred million others, I suppose.

Jen0125 posted...

that's a VERY interesting take lmfao you guys are truly lost

You and this Bongland trial. I supposed since Heard's testimony was closed door she couldn't make a fool of herself & you are under the bizzare impression that somehow despite what Depp said before & since he stated that he beat her in the UK trial (something supported by no evidence whatsoever). No wonder you love this thing.

Amber continues to trend after the botched interview:

It's not too surprising. From the amount I watched it is Hallmark Heard continuing her larp as a domestic abuse survivor regurgitating David "The Grabass" Shane's PR talking points: I.E. the social media won the trial for Depp (even though the Jury couldn't access social media), we were sitting on mountain of evidence that we never brought to the court (never says what said evidence was), we won the UK trial (even though the Sun was the defendant, there was no Jury & Depp couldn't cross examine Heard's testimony) & the only reason I abused Depp was because I was in extreme emotional turbulence (yeah, because you are a fricken nutjob). In other words a pile of manure from the Turd herself.

Fine, show me the testimony of Depp stating he beat Heard in the UK trial because given your fleeting adherence to the truth in this thread I need a little more than your word on it to believe it.

Jen0125 posted...

I mean you can keep ignoring that he admitted under oath in a UK court to physically abusing Amber Heard all you want but it doesn't mean it didn't happen. It just means you're deciding to be willfully ignorant.

I didn't follow the UK trial that closely, but I seriously doubt Depp admitted to beating Heard in a trial where he was disputing being called a wife beater. I followed the American one though and he never admitted to that, nor was there sufficient evidence to support this claim. I don't know if I am so much as being ignorant or being lied to

Jen0125 posted...

right? why can't they BOTH be bad people? because they BOTH are toxic abusive drug addicts.

They may both be bad people, but only one of them was a domestic abuser. And I will give you a hint, it was the one that committed battery, aggregated assault and then not getting their way, decided to ruin the victem's life by uttering defamatory statements that were certain to get a person cancelled.

Jen0125 posted...

You think it's okay to be an abusive person in general as long as you're not directing that abuse onto the person? That's very weird

Do you think people who talk about killing their girlfriends and fucking their dead bodies actually treat their girlfriends well?

It doesn't mean he's abusive. He is just venting to his friends. All evidence in the trial points to Depp avoiding conflict with Heard whenever possible, Heard even calls him a pussy in one of the audio recordings for running away so much. This was because he was abused as a child by his mother and learned to run away to avoid the abuse. I know you are having a hard time grasping this fact due to your programming, but he doesn't have an abusive personality. And if he was truly abusive and Heard was afraid of him, why would she buy him knives for his birthday and constantly egg him on in all the audio recordings to fight her? The man ran away from fights not towards them. He only let his anger out behind Heard's back not towards her.

Adam_Savage posted...

this is irrelevant, your feelings on what abuse is is very misguided

especially when depp confirmed to doing it

It isn't irrelevant. You cited that Depp is sending abusive text messages to Heard, then immediately show a text to his friend that Heard never saw as evidence of this. In fact all the "abusive" texts shown in the trial were to his friends, not Heard, so if you are citing these as evidence of abuse on thier face, then you are patently incorrect.

Adam_Savage posted...

telling someone you want to rape their corpse definitely does, though

they're both abusers and shit people.

and it still does not matter, because depp admitted to it. you're trying to now say that the guy himself is wrong about what he said he did.

He texted that to his friend. I don't see how being an edgelord with your friend qualifies as being abusive to your spouse, especially if she never sees the texts. That is a bit of a stretch. And given the circumstances of his marriage, AKA a phycho wife that throws fricken vodka bottles at your head, shits in your bed & routinely beats you I think he has a little leeway to be angry. And once again, the issues are with the fraudulent sexual & physcial abuse allegations, not some edgy texts. She said he physically & sexually abused her, not that he was being mean in texts.
