God, I remember the boxes with big white labels saying "medical supplies", and only "medical supplies", in english, and only in english. Obnoxious.
Unpopular opinion here I know but IP protection of some description is needed under capitalism, if a corporation can just take someone's work and use it without compensating them, that's a capital-P Problem for artists. But this ain't that, HBO is not a struggling artiste who isn't being compensated for their work and Cuba isn't a for-profit enterprise using HBO's work to generate revenue. In other words this is unabashedly a good thing - the people who actually did the work have been compensated, and the Cuban people get their slop. In a better system everyone involved would like this outcome. The fact that it makes HBO executives mad only proves that they shouldn't exist.
okay but is their cum safe???
what is this bootstraps nonsense.
So we're just going straight to "disabled people should not be allowed out in public", I see.
The best thing about this is that I remember when the propaganda was that the one child policy had resulted in a generation of spoiled "little emperors".
Yeah, I feel like the mask had dropped before the cybertruck did.
I'm imagining Skinner's VA delivering the line "whirring computer noises" rather than an actual sound effect
Sounds awesome tbh. Bhaji, tempura, etc are all among my favourite foods.
Edit: am I a bad person for chuckling at the phrase "this fryer here does not stop for the Orientals" because I absolutely did
Yes, doing anti-homeless sweeps - which often result in homeless people losing all their things including the things they need to survive in harsh weather - is going to make things better.
He's literally a member of the democrats. He is doing the things democrats do and will continue to do the things democrats do, because he has joined the democratic party. You can appreciate the few positive things he may be able to achieve and be pleased about the good positions he holds, but you absolutely do not need to defend him over instantly selling out and going back on his word. Americans (and much of the rest of the world to be fair) DESPERATELY need to start holding their politicians to some kind of standard! Seriously, please just have... SOME expectations of your elected officials. This is a bad thing both because it shows how few principles he has and because it is an evil, inhuman, cruel practise that he is reinstating.
Not an expert but I believe there's a handy-dandy apparatus for that!
the Apparatus: 
Really testing my opposition to the carceral state
They seem to have stopped doing the slurpy-noise pull back the curtain running joke and that to me is a good change tbh
See when I was a designer (structural/mechanical drafter, mostly bulk materials handling systems like conveyors and piping), I kinda loved it when I designed something that never got made. I still got paid, still got to solve all the neat little puzzles that go into a design, BUT I didn't have to suffer any anxiety that I made an error that might cost time, money, or, god forbid, blood! Win-win-win! Now part of that is how atomized we all were anyway, how little connection we had even to the projects that did get built, but even so.

It's reminiscent of the way they respond to claims of Uyghur genocide. Genocide is unthinkable, genocide denial is evil, therefore denying the Uyghur genocide is unthinkable evil. Going a step further to "lying about a genocide is also evil, and well within the expected range of behaviours of a nation currently proposing genocide against GSMs" is too much - they can't be a genocide denier, so china is committing genocide.
