Trump Raged at Slain Soldier’s Funeral Bill: ‘$60K to Bury a F***ing Mexican’
  • Considering how he treated Ivana's grave I'm really not shocked that he'd be an asshole about someone he doesn't know at all.

  • Death as a Child: The Modern Legend of the Black-Eyed Children

    www.atlasobscura.com Death as a Child: The Modern Legend of the Black-Eyed Children - Atlas Obscura

    The black-eyed children are supernatural figures first described in the mid-1990s in Texas. There have been sightings around the world in the decades since.

    What are some popular criticisms you see about any show/movie/videogame that you strongly disagree or you just don’t think it’s really a bad thing?
  • It has dungeons: The four divine beasts.

    IMO It put a lot of the "Use a particular tool for this" puzzles into the shrines to scratch the puzzle solvers itch, (along with some of the Korok seeds.) but even those still gave leeway to not having to use those tools at all.

  • Considering in prior Zelda games you didn't have to worry about your sword being unusable or your shield breaking (inb4 "what about...", there's like three circumstances in a dozen plus games, cmon.), I can understand why folks weren't so keen on it in the new ones. Yeah you could run out of magic, arrows, or bombs, but that boomerang wasn't going anywhere.

  • Steam Deal: Save 80% on Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Breakpoint on Steam
  • Wildlands was better imo. 80% off tho, if you enjoyed Wildlands, makes it ok.

    Trump sued by 'Central Park Five' for defamation
  • For a second I thought they were referring to the full page advert in the Times he took out when the issue was happening in the 90s (and never apologized for after they were acquitted) and was like, "Isn't there a statute of limitations?", but to think he'd double down decades later? hahaha oh wow

    Triangle Shirtwaist would certainly still be something folks would remember in 1914, having just happened 3 years prior.

    Should you trust that doctor?
  • For reference on the no training side:

    Dr. Dre and Dr. Venture: Both possess honorary doctorates. The former from UCLA, the latter from a Tijuana community college.
    Dr. Pepper: Charles T. Pepper did have a medical doctorate. He is cited as a possible source of the name.
    Dr. Evil: Evil medical school.
    Zoidberg: Claims he lost it in a volcano, more likely a art history degree.
    Dr. Horrible: Likely physics though he claims Horribleness (though it could be a catchphrase.)
    Dr. Seuss: Intended to get a Doctorate of Philosophy, got an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters.
    The Doctor: Per This - While pretending to be the Doctor in an effort to save herself from an army of Cybermen, one of the planet’s deadliest enemies, in Death in Heaven, Clara said: ‘I don’t even really have a doctorate. Well Glasgow University, but then I accidentally graduated in the wrong century.’
    Doc: Does become a doctor at Storybrooke hospital in a live action show, "Once Upon a Time", apparently not a surgeon though.
    Spin Doctors: No doctors.

    I feel like a fair amount of those on the trained side aren't medical doctors (Phil, Ock, Robotnik, Lector, Honeydew) or at the very least, aren't folks you'd want around for your heart attack.

    Asmongold's Twitch Channel Banned Following Racist Rant About Palestinians - IGN
  • After a bit of looking into it: He has an unmonetized alt channel zackrawrr that is his primary streaming channel, but his main asmongold channel is still monetized and can be subscribed/donated to. I don't personally follow the guy (as the only things I've heard about him have been uninteresting at best, and horrifying at worst [e.g. rat alarm clock] and have no interest in WoW.), so I was unaware. As a general statement regarding streamers though, what I've said is correct.
