I share your hatred but that likely isn’t what is happening here.

Put simply, someone fucked up. At an airport, the competing concerns of health and security are in their most extreme tension. For some reason, someone on staff skewed security when they should have skewed health.

There is no excuse for it, and guaranteed it has already been resolved or soon will be. This is in one of the busiest international airports in the world, and masks are still very common in air travel, particularly from countries like Japan - and I believe this restaurant is even in the terminal that ANA flies into. Restaurants simply cannot afford rent if they intentionally impose restrictions like that on their customers.

I never like to curse anyone or wish them ill, but it would be dope if I could somehow sign up to get text alerts anytime something bad happens to this guy. Even small things, would put a smile on my face.

For an institution belonging to a religion supposedly focused on protecting children, Gateway made an awful lot of references to this monster’s sins, but precisely zero reference to his horrific crimes.

How odd.

When the problem and solution share the same name.

Still figuring out what c/NonCredibleDefense is as a community, but I have learned enough to know that, odd as it sounds, this picture would not be a fit for that community.

Still and all, it is kind of impressive that he was able to secure the gods2 dot com domain name.

It’s the very definition of a happy accident.

Let historians unpack their intentions, I say. And deal with their actions now, while they’re action-y and actively harming everyone and everything.

Have a good night.

Damn I just happened to be adjusting myself when I read this.

They leveled up today.

Mmmm except whatever shibboleths you may utter against “right-wing religious idiots”, comments like yours help those idiots and others like them by giving them a sort of ‘cognitive plausible deniability’ to get up to whatever evil shit they’ve been getting up to and worse.

Like it’s so obviously minimizing real evil - the evil UNDERNEATH shit like this ‘innocent little contest’, genius - under a shield of “d’aww shucks those pesky white nationalists are up to their hijinx again, those silly knuckleheads”.

So in that context, you talking about ‘disgusting right-wing idiots’ comes off as a real fellowkids moment for you.

I genuinely can’t tell if the downvotes are because people think you’re serious, or because people think you’re joking, or because people can’t tell if you’re serious or joking.

Also USA and same exact firsthand experience. My dad worked for the government and got paid monthly when I was growing up, but every job I’ve had has been one of the 3 you listed.

Man, I am a cinema buff and I just really don’t think I care if the smoke is there at all, much less just right. Obviously botched attempts at realism are another matter entirely but this just seems like an area ripe for creativity and artistic reinterpretation.

Point is, we cede ground to the theater of the mind all the time, I don’t know why realistic gunfire can’t be treated similarly, and I think the lack of verisimilitude itself could be approached many different ways and that’s even kind of exciting.

Give him his due, the man can sniff out a chump to be exploited.

The difference between ‘shalt’ and ‘shart’ may be as little as a few strokes of a sharpie…just saying.

Otter countries are famously permissive.

I believe I recall reading about one EV brand that was going to let customers ‘design their signature sound’ or something along those lines.

Will no one stand up to the business-killing menace that is Marques Brownlee?

Which is an actual demotivational poster caption.
