Cup Noodle was known as Cup O' Noodles in the US until 1993, so if a person there refers to it as Cup Noodle or Cup O Noodles is a generational thing.

Platystemon posted:The fruit of different paw paw cultivars differ from each other by orders of magnitude in acetogenin concentration, so I recommend seeking out one of the cultivars known to be on the low end. Mines an open pollinated seedling, so who knows what it's acetogenin levels will be. However, I still appreciate the link. My other seedling pawpaw died so I'll need to buy a second tree as a pollinator if it ever starts flowering.

"Hello Viscous Soda. Would you like to play a game? In life, you kept banging on about which fruits contained cyanide, thinking you seemed so smart. In reality, you annoyed eveyone around you. One of these Paw Paw fruit trees has high acetogenin levels. The other is safe to eat. You have 30 minutes to figure out which one is which. Your time starts now. Good luck." (to be clear I'm not criticising your posting, as it's a Saw thing I just figured what kind of sin would result in a game like this)

AceOfFlames posted:Pretty much all the Yakuza games do. Judgment had that problem because the dude who provided the likeness and voice for Yagami is the lead singer of a boy band whose agency is so utterly insanely protective of their clients' image that they don't allow their images to even appear on magazines for fear of them being photoshopped. Since PC games in Japan are still broadly associated with porn games, they would not allow a PC port that could be potentially modded (hence why they allowed a port for Google Stadia which lmao) Weatherman posted:ftfy. No need to go all "lol wacky Japan" on this. Their entertainment industry is all kinds of hosed up though, for sure. Oh you were photographed on a date with your boyfriend? You're fired, you harlot.

I think smile up was specifically the name for the sub company that was formed to just handle the sexual abuse complaints which is extra insane.

Kit Walker posted:Mind translating? "Press questions that got to the heart of Johnny's press conference "When you think of Johnny's Jimusho, you think of Johnny Kitagawa. Over the past 50 years, he has brought thousands of people into the depths of misery due to his bad actions. It is extremely outrageous that his name should be placed at the head of the company. I think it's common sense. There is no Hitler Co., Ltd. or Stalin Co., Ltd." "

Yngwie Mangosteen posted:I think the issue isn't that email exists, it's that it is used when a teams/slack/whatever message would do just as well. I feel the same way about 'can you take a quick call' kind of things - 95% of the time, people just need to communicate something to me, and it'd be less trouble for both of us if they just typed it. Plus I'd have it there, typed, to refer back to. IMO the main problem isn't Slack, or Email, or whatever, it's that every company has about 7 different communications platforms, and any one person only uses a subset of about 3. Is this the guy who uses email? Or slack? Or the old slack from before Jim started the new one cus he forgot the password but a lot of tribal knowledge was left on the old one? Or the proprietary UCaaS messanger? or the legacy messanger? Or did he call and leave a voicemail? Or call and leave no voicemail and that's what that random call was? or did he SMS the UCaaS platform? Or the Legacy platform? Or did he leave a comment on the Salesforce ticket? or the JIRA ticket?

I think it's just "where's Waldo? The camera knows" and doesn't even necessarily have a value judgement attached. This guy being confused about what it could mean reminds me of the old pbf threads in gbs.

This guy being confused about what it could mean reminds me of the old pbf threads in gbs. It being in the New Yorker gives me reason to think it's probably a statement on the surveillance state, but either way, it's not some inscrutable "Cow Tools" joke unless Waldo/Wally's somehow fallen completely out of the public consciousness somehow.

Dabir posted:Is there a specific cultural event that it's about or is it just CCTV Bad My local paper (The Seattle Times) just published an editorial about how the local police need way more surveillance including cameras (which don't stop crime at all) and gun shot spotters (which don't actually work). I wouldn't be surprised if there's people pushing for more public surveillance in general in large cities across America. Also it's The New Yorker and the NYPD have there own loving spy division now, so I bet they're trying to put cameras everywhere like London has. And again, cameras don't stop crimes, sometimes they help in solving them, but not that often either because it's really easy to just wear a hoodie.

tokin opposition posted:Does NYPD still have the illegal black sites and loving foreign affairs department? Almost certainly. Police never give up a power without a court order and I kinda think I would have heard if a judge said "stop having illegal blacksites" and even then I think they would have kept doing it.

Also half the cameras don't work for whatever reason, and when they do the police may or may not get around to actually picking up the footage before it gets overwritten after however long.

loving hate the "Well the Palestinians are homophobic so you're dumb for supporting them. Checkmate libs!" poo poo. Like yeah, sure, Islamic societies have a bad track record with that, but if we let Palestinians live decent lives with access to good education and poo poo, they might start getting better about it?

That's what happened in most places in the world as progress marched on. According to Tim Pool fans, refugees will just go and rape white women instead like they claim keeps happening in countries like Sweden and Germany. They don't think Palestinians are capable of being 'civilized' and giving them a fair shot at it will just have them destroy everything they touch. It's the ultimate victim blaming.

It's a threat without tangibility, because while a bunch of the queer people pushing for Palestinian aid do experience religious bigotry stepping on our rights, it sure ain't from Muslims
