That kind of shit is so tiresome. The second most plausible explanation kinda aligns with the reality in the first part, at least: a crazy person staged this and then escaped (and …

I would like to challenge my hard-core religious physics and biology teacher from 7th grade with this evidence. He kept giving me as low a grade as what was acceptable, while I sti…

This thing made me think of the japanese-language-only, Sega Dreamcast-only 1999 "Marionette Handler" mech programming game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQqcvhR568E It was some…

That's a slightly awkward looking reference customer list (assuming that's what it is).

This kind of legislation will likely spread spread across the EU.
