Then the one kid shows up and wants to play Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

Probably because it was released just before OoT so it was an irrelevant title almost immediately.

In the 1950s in the Philippines the CIA was conducting operations against a militant group called the Huks. The CIA operatives spread rumors that manananggal (basically the local mythological equivalent of a vampire) was attacking people, particularly in the area of one mountain village. Then they located a Huk patrol, stealth-killed one guy, punctured his neck to create the appearance of "bite marks", drained all his blood, and threw him back on the road where they had jumped him.

Word on the street is she and Obama confronted Joe and told him point blank he would be stepping aside from the nomination or Kamala would 25th Amendment him with their support. That was the stick. The carrot was they'll give him a giant fellatio tribute at the DNC and find some way to get funding for a library for his "legacy".

This does make one wonder though, why is he even still the acting president?

Millions of people are deferring home and automotive purchases, maintenance, and even medical care because they can't afford it.

That means they're "refusing to pay higher prices" and the economy is cured, right?

Anyone remember that time the CIA faked a vampire attack as a psyop in the Philippines?

Didn't see any price rumors.

Rogan seems the type that spouts strong opinions about everything and then doesn't even vote.

You know, like most of Reddit and Lemmy.

Since the story came out people fixated on "lol he used a shitty gaming controller" but really that is one of the least sketchy design choices in the entire rig. Why reinvent the wheel and make a custom set of controls that are realistically another huge expense and potential failure point, when off the shelf solutions exist for that component?

The corners that were cut are the ones involving the viewport/nose adhesion to the ships frame, and the structural integrity of the carbon fiber hull itself. They had test data suggesting it was a bad idea to engage in repeated dives with their design, and an even worse idea to operate at the depths they chose. They decided to ignore that.

You have all that space in the Complex and you put a toilet there?
