I'm sure this must have been read by multiple people here already, but there's been considerable news today about refugees from the Syrian crisis going through Europe. Recently, refugees were allowed to travel to Germany and Austria through Hungary without requiring visa checks. Needless to say, this has caused a major movement of refugees who were currently stuck in Hungary, but the public transportation of Hungary is not made to cope with so many people all going West, which has lead to moments of potential disaster, not helped at all by the Hungarian PM.

However, the whole situation was recently encapsulated by photographs of the aftermath of a boat carrying refugees - overloaded with passangers - that had capsized. Corpses were found washing up on the shores of Turkey, most horrifyingly that of three-year old child. He was born during the Syrian crisis; he had never known a life without war. His family were trying to leave, desperately, to get to family in Canada. He, his brother and his mother all drowned, along with others from that capsizing. Now only the father remains. He wishes to just return to Syria to bury them.

There's not much else that can be said about this.

Just don't read the Daily Mail's response to it.

He was wearing a T-shirt depicting a cartoon robot holding a gun. Security officials forced him to change his shirt before boarding an airplane.

I remember this one! Specifically, it was Megatron. The best part was an internet comment (I know, I know) which said:

"That's not a Sam (or whatever the guys actual name was), that's a Robert in disguise."

Remember that from b3ta, back when it wasn't completely terrible.

This is still breaking right now, but it should be shared, not because of ghoulishness, but because of the horrendous disregard for tenant safety that lead to it.

I’ve had UTIs chronically since I was a child, and while as of late I’ve been near a year free (yay), even as a kid I went from a shy bookworm to bonkers angry. I learned to manage my downstairs disaster (thanks genes!) as I got older but being a kid and not being able to fully articulate outside of “it hurts when I pee and I want to scream and throw my game boy color” loving sucks. Thankful to my mom for knowing immediately to take my rear end to the doctor.

And yes, they’re like a thousand times worse than PMS and make you loving insane.

At the risk of asking a dumb question, is it just the pain from the UTI that made you feel so aggressive? Or is it something that else?

teen witch posted:

As a kid it was the pain and the confusion as to what the hell was going on why is my body doing this.

As an adult it’s like PMS’s bitchy cousin, and falling into the cycle of feel like I gotta pee all the time -> can’t pee at all because it hurts to pee -> still gotta pee anyway, pain or not. It’s a brain body disconnect that I think does my head in, like my brain knows “can’t pee, hurts to pee, there is no liquid in my body to pre” and my body is slamming down on that “PISS” button uncontrollably. It is incredibly physically exhausting, and I’m so glad I haven’t had one since my abortion, weirdly enough.

Yeowch. I have a better understanding now.

Straight pedos always get a bunch of "it's technically hebe/ephebophilia!! This is important for some reason!!" bullshit

And what really bakes my noodle is that if you are wanting to be even more accurate, they should be referred to as pederasts, but because of these fucko apologists, you can't really make that argument without sounding like you are supporting their position somehow.

I'd rather see him in an original spy role, because Bond is an explicitly white male colonizer fantasy. As an agent of the Crown his whole job is to further imperialism. Idris is awesome and deserves better. However I am torn because I also like racist idiots losing their minds.

Have a James Bond film where Elba is the antagonist who destroys the 00's and MI6 and establishes his own new, cooler spy agency.

If folks are interested, I wrapped up my research into one Jamake Highwater - better known as the Star Trek Voyager consultant on Native American affairs - and it was pretty illuminating how this guy got away with playing his part for so long. Details and sources contradicted each other but thanks to a bit of detective work and a few phone calls I mustered up as many facts as I could to put this together:

A German underwater observatory has gone missing.

https://gizmodo.com/large-underwater-observatory-disappears-without-a-trace-1837897180

Too big to be affected by a storm or sea creatures and boats aren't allowed into the area where it's located. Divers investigating why it wasn't sending data any more found a severed fibre optic cable and nothing else.

Obvious Cthulhu reference is obvious.

Isn't this how Sealab 2021 started?

Utopian groups are pretty cool too, Oneida was into free love and weirdly feminist in many ways and really screwed up in other way. They eventually turned into ... a silverware company but managed not to kill anybody:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oneida_Community


To be true, they were screwed up in many ways, but their most infamous member was screwed up before he even joined them; namely Charles Guiteau. He was so disliked by the Oneida that they gave him the nickname Charles 'Get out'.

deliberate infection with malaria (the fever was thought to be potentially curative)

Crazily enough, this CAN work, but only for syphilis or other bacterial infections. The increased temperature brought about by the fever kills the bacteria, and is (in theory) controllable with quinine.

the hip new boomer trend is blaming literally anything bad any company does on DEI. bridge struck by a boat? DEI. Boeing reaping what they've sown via decades of lovely manufacturing practices? DEI. ice cream machine broke at the McDonald's? DEI.

Much in the way that they rebranded 'politically correct' to 'SJW' to 'woke', now they go for DEI.
