I found that I liked bibimbap in the stone pot, and ate it a few times enjoying it, before one time one of the Korean waitresses saw me eating it unmixed as it had come out, grabbed my bowl away from me, squirted a bunch of the hot sauce into it, mixed it aggressively for me with my spoon, and then handed it back to me explaining that that's the way to do it and I should do it that way from now on. And, some of my friends were in Thailand and had some kind of dessert come out for them that was in the shape of a snowman, and they had a member of their party who was a big fat guy, and when the food came out all the wait staff started messing with him that he and the snowman were the same shape.

I feel like Japan got all the politeness for the whole region rerouted to them and everyone else just kind does whatever kind of elbow-jabbing food-correcting baldness-making-fun-of thing that comes into their head to feel like doing at whatever time and if you don't like it you can deal with that on your own.

Yeah I was confused by that part, too. I have always eaten sushi in a few bites. Maybe I'm a big pale skinned dickhead.

Firing "at" people could be attempted murder or all the way down to negligent discharge or something, depends on the details of the circumstance (what "at" means) and any plea deals and how vigorous the DA wants to be about it. And this could have all happened before everything wound it way through the courts and he was found guilty of attempted murder even if it was the felony route. It's hard to say just from that much how fucked he really is (well, until the next time he does something like this which sounds fairly likely to happen as his life continues on its present course).

The fact that they're going after him for having the firearm under the protection order instead of for being a felon makes it likely to me that he wasn't a felon at the time he was doing all these shooting-ats.

James Randi and Johnny Carson have some takedowns of fake psychics that are some of the best things ever shown on television.

I could be wrong, but my assumption is that he's in quite a lot of trouble and going to be in an extended limbo of custody and probation for quite a while going forward because of his other charges, whichever way the more minor issue of violating the protective order comes out (i.e. his lawyers are just mounting a vigorous defense as they're supposed to do, and they found one of them that they can fight effectively through this weird little argument.)

Terry Pratchett already sorted it out; it's a little bit of a creative interpretation I guess but my reading of "Men at Arms" was that it is hypergolic fuel and oxidizer in two separate belly chambers and then they spray the two together and it ignites immediately in air. Like fireflies or bombardier beetles they just make the right stuff that they need.

With a big cheeky excited smile on his face about what he found

How can you live in Belgorod and put a shocked emoji that there is war

You are less than one marathon running distance away from the border, and one ultra marathon from Kharkiv, and the war has been going for 2 years. Whole cities are flattened, not that far from where you are.

Kinda puts it in perspective that "we don't have a problem with the Ukrainians striking Russian soil anymore" thing. They didn't know how much the West was doing for them; without careful escalation management keeping them safe, the northern counteroffensive would probably have pushed the front line back past the border and rolled it over their city to create a buffer zone, and they wouldn't get to live in their home anymore right now or maybe ever again.

What the hell is happening

Is this like some advanced level of trolling to drive the mods away to create anarchy

More importantly who the fuck is upvoting it

I mean it’s basically a gateway to bad laws

“If there’s any dispute between how it used to be and how it is now, we want to make it so how it used to be wins”

“Wait isn’t there usually a reason they changed it?”

“I said no questions”

In 2019, Texan Zackey Rahimi assaulted his girlfriend and fired his gun at a witness. He was put under a domestic violence restraining order, which he violated by possessing a firearm—an infraction under a 1994 federal laws—which he fired at people on multiple occasions. In his defense, Rahimi argued that the restraining order’s gun ban violated his 2nd Amendment right to bear arms.

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed: there was no 18th century law analogous enough to the statute barring Rahimi from possessing a gun, and therefore under Bruen, that statute must be unconstitutional.

Yo what the FUCK

I can see why Texas is the venue that Republicans go to when they wanna get some crazy shit into precedent on a federal level
