also the reason you've probably never heard of them is that many of them are Romanian news sources closest to the event? Like...come on
Or, ya know, it's just their own Substack page that might or might not have even tried to find a source first. Like it always is on that side of Twitter.

You really don't need to click to tell the difference between that and an actual foreign news source.

My interpretation is that he probably would have gotten arrested eventually, but it wouldn't have happened right now. He also could have left the country before they arrested him, theoretically.

He very clearly doxxed himself. That part can't be denied.

Please let those rumors about him already being released without punishment be false.
These are the same people insisting he's "just detained not arrested" and that "he's not in handcuffs" when you can clearly see them on one of his hands because they can't help but troll and/or huff the copium.

Marie you can tell in two minutes is a shoehorned in extra character with no actual bearing on the game she's in, and it makes me not particularly care she exists.

Royal actually made the extra characters part of it's story.
Kasumi was on so much promo material that it was hard not to know she was new, but not having played the original it took some time to catch on to Maruki being new.

That's different from hating him. More realistically he probably didn't even know who he was before VP searching. Also he ultimately deferred to his kids on this, not the party.

Their prices have definitely risen lately but who's hasn't. I'm also pretty sure the price gap between the "Littles" (1 patty) and the "Regulars" (2 patties) has increased as well.

But yeah they have a very basic menu they make as confusing as they possibly can. The only things you really pay for on a burger there past the meat itself are cheese and bacon. Otherwise you can get every topping or no topping and it'll be the exact same price.

MrSmartGuy posted...
When you get fries at a Five Guys, just get the smallest size. You basically get the same number regardless of size, because they just fuckin' dump all of it in and fill the bag.
Very this, but occasionally you'll get someone new who actually measures it out which is probably more likely at a new place.

I'm not sure any actor is truly irreplaceable. It just depends on whom you replace them with.
I can't think of any live action example besides Dr Who that has survived long after a main actor replacement, and they basically made it their brand. Anything else I can think of changes the actual character as well, like Babylon 5.

(Sort of soap operas for what they're worth I guess.)
