Organized crime seems more organised.

This just seems to be regular, negligent crime with witness intimidation.

No, because NASA needs both FBI and Congressional approval to co-operate with Chinese space programs due to the Wolf Amendment.

Despite Chinese spacecraft being based on the Soyuz and should be compatible with the ISS, China is effectively banned from the ISS.

He apparently fit the description of someone wanted for felony fraud + dine and dashing (truly, one of the rap sheets of all time)

Which is why so many popo were sent to arrest this one middle aged thespian.

It's called being Anglo.

He's a few months younger than Shakira, Psy and Richard Ayoade, who all appear younger than him by a lot.

It's like a few months ago when discussing the Napoleon film with my friend, she had previously learned that Napoleon was exiled to an island (twice) and also that he was defeated at Waterloo, so she assumed The Battle of Waterloo was either entirely a naval battle or naval with some aspects on an island. She then said she hasn't watched the film but will eventually because she enjoyed the naval battles in Pirates of the Caribbean so she wants to see Ridley Scott's take on the Battle of Waterloo.

"You... You've conflated two completely unrelated facts about this one subject in your head. Waterloo was not a naval battle"

"He was on an island when he lost?"

"No he was exiled to an isla- wait, did you think Waterloo was on the water because "water" is in the name?"

"He was defeated and died on the island? Was it not a naval battle?"

"Those are two completely different events"

I can think of a few funny scenarios to come out of this.

Customer: "Ok, so with 15% tip that comes to-"

Audible cocking of a revolver

Customer: "Sorry I misspoke, so with 50% tip that comes to-"

Liberalism fundamentally has an incompatiblity with socialism and communism because it's fubdamentally rooted in the rights of an individual to own land and/or the means of production, as well as supporting market economies.

This is in stark contrast to workers owning the means of production, or seizing private property for the greater good.

Liberals in other countries tend to be centre right, such as the Australian liberals or a fair amount of European liberals.

American liberals and conservatives have a sub-Charlie Brown level of intellect.

Kick the football, I'm not going to pull it away at the last second this time.

In 1958, Mark Rothko was offered his first-ever commission—a series of murals to be placed in New York’s famed Four Seasons restaurant, for which he would have been paid $35,000. Known as the Seagram Murals because they were to appear in the historic Seagram Building, the paintings he created are rendered in dark red tones, with barely visible orangeish forms that appear to hover over dark red backgrounds. Eventually, however, the commission fell through when Rothko and his wife dined at the restaurant and found himself disgusted with the prices of the dishes on offer. “Anybody who will eat that kind of food for those kind of prices will never look at a painting of mine,” he once said.

That was pretty based at the very least. $35,000 in 1958 is like $375,000 in today's money, for reference.

Elon tries to build a space trebuchet to compete, the release mechanism gets a bug and slams a $50,000,000 rocket directly into the ground. Blames China and Chelsea Manning.

Continuously releasing high altitude balloons to bankrupt the USA is praxis.

Eve is like 2 meltdowns away from adding the (((triple parentheses))) to her handle in the year of our lord 2023 while calling the 3 Israeli hostages "antisemitic" for discrediting the IDF by dying from friendly fire.
