People can use skins to show that they're fans of a particular work. The Metroid fans want to socially signal their Metroid fandom in Fortnite, which is a social game home to many non Metroid fans they can posture to.

It's like wearing a costume to Comicon.

Autistic person here. I like brutalism, science fiction, and the Zerg from starcraft. I think all three of those things are beautiful. I think flowers and lawns are ugly and smelly.

Stalin wasn't far left. The man made being gay illegal. That's not the behaviour of a leftist.

The summary is a lie. The crisis isn't over it expanding differently in different places. It's that two measurement methods give different results.

This could be solved with an honest conversation. Simply say "dude, your tiktok meme game is weak af. Send better memes."

Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.

I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.

“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.

Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.

“Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.

I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!”

He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.

“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”

“Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.

“Because I was afraid.”

“Afraid?”

“Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.”

I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.

“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.”

He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.

I love how the poster is expressing their disapproval of gay people by posting gay porn

It's talking about the Genocide in Gaza, which Biden has been supplying with arms. OP is conveniently ignorant of the fact Trump said Israel should "finish the problem", he has promised to ban immigration from Gaza, and that Trump's press secretary claims Trump has done more for Israel than any other president.

Yeah I hate it when I'm trying to enjoy myself at the park and there's a bunch of birds screaming at the top of their lungs about sex.

Atheists be like "look at all the things my real and not made up methodology can do" and then post science fiction.

Eating meat costs more plant lives than eating plants, because a cow has to eat lots of plants in order to make one steak.

I'd bang my knees into the tank and upset the fish so often if I had a desk like this. It's a good thing I don't
