I wrote my comment in the assumption that there is no immediately obvious cause of damage.

The assumption a carrier- with more bulkheads/damage control teams/position at the heart of a formation suddenly taking critical damage and/or sinking without any warning of incoming enemy planes/missiles would generate the exact amount of panic it sounds like it should. I suppose I kind of missed that in the original comment.

A nuclear device detonating underneath would generate a great amount of concern from the international community, especially if Iran immediately says “yo that wasn’t us”

Without reading an article, but I will assume you mean a magical macguffin weapon just…sinks it and no one knows what happened. The response depends on a few things.

A macguffin weapon like a Deathstar type where it can fire at single target position would give most Threat analysis away and the immediate questions to answer would be 1. How much energy/fuel/ammunition does it cost to fire. (If a broke country can afford a mega laser - how don’t I have one?) 2. How does it target (radar can be blocked, is it manually aimed as direct fire/ parabolic like artillery) 3. How can it be avoided (like blocking radar to aim, or like can a physical obstruction block the firing angle. 4. Can it be destroyed (is it susceptible to a strike team on land to sabotage?) 5 Is there more than one.

And the part where they’re the same game with a few mons in A or B.

Would be nice if the “rerelease” had them all so you could actually realistically collect them all in an older game without jumping through a bunch of hoops to trade them back and forth. Looking at those trade evos, version exclusives, and Mythic/legendaries that never realistically were available when these were on gba

Spicy cheetos is a white girl meme classic. But they also own Takis - popular with kids like you said. Kids are such a profitable target for a cheap, quick snack food.

Popcorners have been a big hit these past few years.

Sun chips, hilariously pitched as healthy competition against things like doritos do well at the sales pitch.

Hes stumbling on something alright

And then along came Microsoft with the Zune and decided to have like this neat Nearby Share feature so you could like…share a song with a friend and their Zune - and called the feature “Squirting”.

Found the video Should Games Be Frustrating

First 8 minutes or so are red dead 2, and explain using frustration to funnel the player places or to do things. I found it some years after I played it, but even then he basically called out how I did my playthrough, which was spooky. Means the manipulation worked lol

This was intentional. Micah is antagonistic towards you from the get-go, Dutch begins to turn on you while you start to agree with Arthur (Dutch sounds less reasonable etc) . By the time you get to the island you are meant to be frustrated, tired from trying to “just finish the damn game” and you’re stranded with the 4 people you (the player) like the least - right after at least 2 of them bungled the heist in Saint Denis that got you in this mess. All the levels are just shooting gallery type beats to vent your frustration. There was a video on YouTube about emotional manipulation of the player that was a great write-up about this phenomena in RDR2, and why the ending mission American Venom feels so cathartic.

Edit: I actually found it! “Should Games Be Frustrating”. The first 8-9 minutes are largely Red Dead 2 and trails.off with that theme of using frustration to funnel player emotion, so I dont think you need to watch the whole thing.

In 1984, it is revealed that the “ministries of” are not ironic nor accidental - they did not become twisted versions of their namesakes. They are so named to intentionally destroy the thing they are named after.

Ergo, “Ministry of Peace”

3pm is higher than today’s High. Weather man cant even get that right

As long as she doesn’t let the Wallians out, those crafty fucks know what they did to deserve to be there!

Sort of yes, you can wager an event will happen and, because this is real life you can absolutely be the decider that something does or does not happen. The whole “sex toys at the WNBA” had 2 cases where the person who threw the toy was also in the pool for it to happen. The platform refused to pay out for these as far as I know, but these people were also arrested and verified and such. I don’t know what happens if you wager on a severe crime like an assassination, and don’t get caught - but if it’s a guarantee to get a visit from at least one of the three letter agencies if you opened that betting pool.

I’ve had theaters only allowing one refill, but that was either with a marker to the bottom or honor system (as far as that goes for $8 drinks). But tracking it with a chip is insanity

The real crime was how much those corns cost, all fancied up like that
