I mean if they'd been voted in there wouldn't be a republican majority supreme court and roe wouldn't have been overturned in the first place.

So is 2/2 a significant date in P3 or is it just the P5R groupies who are sitting here going "fuck"?

It was, but in its sense of flooding with unwelcome online content, it was a Usenet meme first. Goes back to the green card spammers.

Usenet was absolutely swarming with memes. They were text-based rather than image-based but they were definitely memes.

The thing is that TEPCO and the Japanese government had such a conspiracy of silence going on, and such an insistence that their implementation of nuclear power was safe, that nobody believes a word they say - nor should they.

Myself, I think the release is probably safe. But I'm not an expert, and I'm not really qualified to read scientific studies (which is an important thing to know about yourself), and I wasn't lied to by the people now telling me this is totes harmless about how Fukushima was totes harmless until oh, it wasn't.

Shit's complicated.

Some of them have a real thing for saying the Tiananmen Square massacre never happened and there's no evidence, too. I guess I just hallucinated those news reports at the time with screams and gunfire in the background.

Not anxious to see those brown things in the water remastered to 4k tbh. I somehow failed out of the game every time at that point even in SVGA.

I couldn't finish it. Really dreadful.

As a counterpoint, I'd like to mention that people often scream "reading incomprehension" when actually, what they wrote was ambiguous or unclear.

Not saying you do this, just that I see this far more often than I see people misreading anything.

The word you're probably thinking of is kichigai. But there are oceans of words that you can't use on TV in Japan as I understand it, and there have been since the 70s.

m*nko begs to differ.

This reminds me of the not-very-edifying-at-all moment when "joey" became a universal term of abuse in UK playgrounds.
