Critical support to the guy experimenting on himself rather than others. Although he’s also subjecting his son to some experimental stuff too, right?

What is the Lebanese army doing? Is it just sitting this out while Hezbollah and Israel fight over southern Lebanon?

The size of the centipede is distorted by Mercator projection, it’s not that big, don’t worry.

This was not a good comment to read directly after sipping coffee

That’s just the dying gasp of the miasma leaving your body. The migraines are how you know it is working.

Has plastic surgery gone too far??

No, but seriously, microplastics are horrifying.

It’s so odd to me that anybody is putting much thought into this without knowing what the narrative purpose of the choice is. Take shogun, for example - this has a British protagonist (although arguably Mariko is the protagonist). But this serves a strong narrative purpose - at the very least, it is a convenient (albeit common) device which allows you to spell out the culture, background, etc. for the audience under the auspices of that stuff being told to the character who is also unfamiliar with it. And from a plot perspective, that white character also helps fill out the christianization of Japan subplot.

It could very well be the same with AC. That they picked a black samurai outsider could be a relevant plot point. That it is this one in particular - who had close contact with Nobunaga - may also be central to the plot and story they want to tell.

It’s over for us. One of the images has a hand that doesn’t look fucked up. Oh fuck

God the insanity of that wealth is hard to fathom.

Nobody needs $100m, which is itself a totally insignificant amount compared to $1b… and we’re talking people with hundreds of billions :/

I’ve been seeing this sort of thing in a few threads now since the federation and im a bit confused by it. Showing that China is doing similar things to the US doesn’t seem like a strong argument if the thing the US is doing (in this case indefinite detention without trial in a horrible prison) is bad. Is the idea that post-federation there’s users who don’t view the US as doing bad things?
