The girl whose post those pictures come from wasn’t even born in the same millennium as WWII. There’s a good chance her grandfather wasn’t even born when the war ended. What do you expect?

Terribly elitist.

I get media access all the time for multiple teams. Not so hard. I’m a serious hobbyist writer/photographer, though (run several blogs).

You can sell beer in cans, just have the vendor pour it in a cup first. Easy, safe.

Who said anything about western? Nobody cares about the rising sun flag in the rest of Asia either, just in Korea and China. I’m not saying that’s not relevant, but it’s hardly the universal symbol of hate that the Nazi swastika is.

Malick and Linklater are both Texan, Bastrop is a convenient location for both Austin and Houston.

It’s not even remotely offensive outside of the Koreas and China.

Me too. I was on the way out of the door as a fan due to all the corruption and tolerance of violence in the first place, that just kicked me out the door so hard I can’t even stand to watch highlights.

They are. A lot of people wear clear UV blockers when doing outdoor stuff if they don’t need to actually reduce bright light. Clear car glass is UV cut.

whu why would you want any of that superfluous nonsense

You did not spend 25+ hours of game time to get that playable.

I don’t understand how it’s any weirder than a belief in God in general. Once you’ve accepted that, everything else is sprinkles on the bizarro sundae.

At my (government-related) office, the head of IT was doing a security audit and found that there was a frequent outside connection to AWS, over which 6 Tb had been copied over the previous few months. Naturally there were worries about data theft by a foreign government.

And a big reason for that is a judicial system that locks up black men at a substantially higher rate than white men.

Didn’t realize “standing for he national anthem” is now “football”

AKA IOC pocket lining?

Uh, there were the same worries in 1998 and especially during the 2002 World Cup and there were few issues. Tokyo and Osaka get piles of tourists as it is, now. This isn’t 1956.

I’m a huge C&H fan, I think it’s the best ever for sure, but to think Bloom County is the best is... Not an incorrect opinion. I’ll take it. Disagree, but take it.

McDonalds is paying for this. In Ingress, a lot of businesses paid in Japan to be portals - Lawsons, MUFG banks, Softbank shops.
