I’m convinced they have only managed to get him to take these tests by telling him they’re to measure his IQ, and that’s why he keeps bragging on them. He keeps talking about his “perfect brain” like he’s a second grader that just aced an arithmetic test.
You forgot that “golfing with clients” and “dinner with clients” and “yacht party with clients” are also work for these people.
Hell, I wouldn’t be shocked if we see some teams outright refusing to come. Owners and managers might go for “well we can’t guarantee that half your team isn’t going to wind up deported to Libya”, but I guarantee the players won’t.
They’re also known for highly sanitizing translations. Captain Smoker got localized as “Chaser” because “we can’t have kids knowing about smoking”. They also replaced Sanji’s cigarettes with lollipops. A whole Pokemon episode was entirely cut because it has a gun in it, and the Pokemon he catches in that episode are simply just…handwaved away. Every time you see a “guard” or “heavy” character doing a finger gun at someone in Yu-Gi-Oh, they had an actual gun edited out.
Actually, US oil is pretty much junk from a gasoline perspective. You can squeeze gas out of it, but you can’t really get DIESEL, which is the big driver of fuel costs thanks to our entire modern delivery system, and in turn most of our manufacturing capability, relying entirely on it. You used to be able to do it by sending it through alkylation, but the last plant that handled that in the US blew up a couple years ago and it was never fixed, because why would anything need to be fixed ever.
Also Evil Will Riker and Evil Deanna Troi.
While this is true, you have to think on diplomatic terms too. The number of countries that will actually deal with us long-term is rapidly falling because President Sundown might wake up tomorrow and decide to tear up your trade deal or defense agreement or whatever. I can definitely see India saying “no” purely because of that.
The issue is that’s not NECESSARILY true. Jones is a co-owner in multiple companies that sell that snake oil.
And effectively mandatory in schools that didn’t make it truly mandatory. I had to explain a LOT that yes, this is a proper calculator, it’s just a Casio because it was $50 instead of $150.
Always been an Arbok fan. Sure, Gen 1 he dies to Psychic really easy, but especially as we get into Gen 3/4 and you get stuff like Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang TMs as well as decent Dark moves to teach it, it becomes a nasty piece of work with some support. Plus, it gets Intimidate and I love Intimidate as an ability.
Nah, that’s a mid-30 to 40s design. By that point, you could absolutely hit highway speeds if you had open space. Clyde Barrow (yes, Bonnie and Clyde’s Clyde) preferred stealing Fords when he was robbing banks in the 30s, because one of the more popular Ford models was a V8, which could hit 60mph and outpace a lot of older police vehicles.
Yes, it’s full-steel and the thing will likely decapitate you in a crash if you don’t get a steering column through the sternum, but old cars got fast a LOT faster than you think.
Anyone who’s spent time in any institution will tell you that corruption is a cancer, whether it’s just saying “good enough” on shoddy work that’ll barely hold together, or deciding “close enough” when arranging security for a formal dinner of political figures and journalists. If you don’t cut it out, it becomes part of the culture and nobody thinks twice.
Trump didn’t go to the dinner over multiple years purely because a lot of reporters use it to poke fun (in good fun) at the President, and occasionally actually lobby for something too. The man cannot take being made fun of, at all. Making it a Presidential event makes sure that he can exclude anybody that’s not the most sycophantic.
And I’m sure the fact the guy was Californian will, in no way, be spun to influence the California elections.
No, we definitely are trying to use rich whites as a patch on the leaking dam now that we’ve been trying to deport all the “illegals” as fast as we can (and to get the administration filthy fucking rich). “Rich” in this case being "over $50k/year so we might be able to get them to buy a car and rent an apartment Considering they’re talking about lifting the immigration restrictions on white South Africans specifically.
Yeah, this is basically where I’m at. We don’t want to make Canada an actual state. What we want to do, is make it a colony, in the 17th century idea: we rule everything, and whatever you do, it just gets shipped southwards to prop up what’s left of the imperial core.
Also, you can just harass and paper-whip a journalist out of existence a lot easier when you’re the head of the FBI. Hell, worse comes to worst, call up your buddies in charge of the Pentagon or CIA, I’m sure they can find someone to just knock off the plaintiffs for cheap.
If you’re not a Pokemon fan, there’s also a pile of quality hacks for the Fire Emblem games.
Hitler actually sent material support to India during WWII (because keeping England bogged down fighting a revolution is obviously a good thing if you’re trying to stop them from redirecting those efforts to either Japan or yourself). So there’s that too.
