I dunno, someone might’ve paid him to try to get some info, but “recruited as a spy”? He’d be the worst spy in the entire world.
“Hello fellow fatcat businessman, I am a simple fatcat businessman just like you. Would you like to tell me any secrets you have that my friend Mr. Gorba-- I mean Mr. Smith would be interested in?”
Judge Gregory Carro ordered him to remain handcuffed, calling it a security measure.
Oh yeah, any second now he’ll pull out his ass gun he’s been hiding for months in prison and go hog wild. This guy doesn’t have a chance at a fair trial.
Hey, you don’t know all the details of the deal. Maybe he gave her a lot of rope.
Shit’s crazy these days. My favorite “they can do that now?!” is from a 2014 article where MIT researchers videoed a bag of potato chips in a soundproof room and used the vibrations from the bag to recreate the sound.

Castlevania has always had a pretty heavy emphasis on movement abilities to access new areas
The -vania part always seemed a bit odd to me as well because of the history of the games, but it makes sense based on when the term became popularized. If someone had tried to coin a term for the genre earlier I think it would’ve been Metroid-like alone, specifically because the early entries of Castlevania didn’t really have any movement-based mechanics upgrades until SotN. Even things being locked behind item progression was only in Simon’s Quest before that (although it looks like Vampire Killer had some more open levels where you had to find keys). I’m not familiar with Rondo of Blood, which looks like it had some exploration of levels with the secondary character, but again without upgrading movement mechanics.
So you basically had Metroid ('86) and Super Metroid ('94) being quintessential examples of the modern metroidvania genre, whereas there were almost a dozen Castlevanias before SotN ('97) that were mostly linear.
I know idioms don’t necessarily have to make sense, but how were you imagining getting down to a tax? Like it was at the bottom of a list of taxes or something?
This is similar to what happens with Asian giant hornets (those murder hornets that made it to the US a couple years ago)-- when a scout finds a honeybee hive it brings back a troop that goes in and just murders everything in sight, and with European bees there’s nothing they can do. Meanwhile the Asian bees know to lure the scout into the hive and then surround it with a bunch of bees, creating a bee ball. Then they vibrate and heat themselves up, and since the bees can withstand temps a few degrees higher than the hornet, they manage to overheat it to death.

If you really want to get down to brass tacks about it, the movie was saying love can transcend appearance, not necessarily sex. Loving relationships don’t have to include gargling beast balls, so I’d say the adult hot take is still valid.
You know how lemmy or xyz social media is people posting their thoughts directly so you kinda get a look into their brains? And maybe there’s a pic or vid or some other link to accompany it to support the topic of their post. Imagine that but it’s entire websites basically built from the ground up with what one lone person believed was aesthetically appropriate to communicate their ideas or passions.
And nothing was centralized so there might’ve been a hundred time cube variations but no one ever found them because they weren’t linked on anyone’s webrings. It was all beautiful terrible madness.
ooh, President Husk ain’t gonna be happy to hear that sass from lil humpty

Singapore doesn’t do PR? Japan doesn’t allow dual citizenship either but basically the only thing you gain over PR is voting rights. If you make good money (over $100000) you have to pay some taxes back to the US but otherwise you only have to pay one country.
Didn’t he give someone a horse after sexually harassing them?
On this week’s John Oliver he ended with a brief segment about messages from people in government positions saying how past protests have encouraged their belief that they were doing the right thing by resisting. Just holding signs won’t fix everything, but it isn’t nothing.
The devil is declared the loser by the omniscient narrator, so what are the implications there?
