I don’t care about Flash.

BUT FU^K EZRA MILLER AND WHATEVER THE FU^K IS THAT DOUBLE STANDARD.
My thought exactly. How in the f*** does he abduct and groom a 12 year old and not get cancelled because he metro sexual or Asexual or whatever the hell he is?


Gotta love the world we are in right now. At least he doesnt refuse to were a pride day warm up!

Not sure, this was the ACARS message sent to the nato designated C-17.

I’m leaning towards what’s going on as false flag operations, like Operation Northwoods.

No one is talking about the chemical explosion in Ohio, which is the bigger concern

Could be. Or a China psyop with UFO shaped zeppelins that are somehow propelled along to make everyone think the government is covering stuff up again. I’m just interested in how a heat seeking missile can lock on to these things. Usually it takes a jet exhaust to get a lock from what I understand. Hence the need for something as hot as a flare to serve as a countermeasure. I figure they’re using them to avoid giving up a radar signature- but you’d think they’d just use the 20mm cannon

In Annie Jacobsen's book "Area 51", she claims the Roswell UFO was a cold war psyop from the commies using technologies from the Nazis.

Honest truth, I had no idea who Ezra Miller was until looking him up after seeing your posts. I've seen a couple of movies with him as the Flash, but didn't know his name. After reading a few news clippings just now on him, he seems like a very disturbed person and if even half the allegations are true, the deserves to be locked up.

Ohhhhhhhh you misgendered them by accident, THAT'S A HATE CRIME (according to Ezra Miller when the police arrested "him") - or just trying to get out of another assault charge

And it's not even like a one-time thing we see many people get clipped for...where a single Twitter from 5 years ago can be reinterpreted by modern standards and ruin someone's career or saying something ignorant means you're unredeemable. There's a laundry list of violent outbreaks, harassment, assault, potentially sexual misconduct with a 12 y/o girl that he/they "groomed" and abused for 6 years (like to the point it's hard to tell what the truth is vs Stockholm Syndrome). If ever there was someone that actually needed to be cancelled, it's Ezra Miller

Yeah, the only reason the movie hasn't been cancelled is because a buttload of money was already spent making and marketing it...with Miller as the Flash.
Guarantee that's not the only reason. Nearly 90 million was spent on a Batgirl movie that got the ax recently. This movie needs to be a completely painful flop with protests outside every screening for the first couple weeks. Normally I LOATHE cancel culture with every fiber of my being, but if anyone deserves it it's f***ing Ezra Miller.

The best part of this whole thing is that I have no idea what movie we are talking about, who we are talking about, or why I should give a shit.


Apathy is a hell of a drug.

I guess the heat from the sun reflecting off the balloon surface in the very cold 40k-60k feet zone.

Shooting 20 at it probably makes it come down slow and unpredictable

I f***ing hated Better Than Ezra
In 1997, Lemieux retired for the first time. ESPN ran a year-in-review compilation set to "This Time of Year" by Better Than Ezra with a large portion dedicated to Mario's highlights. I found it to be quite moving.

Anyways, hate is such a strong word...maybe try saying "I f***ing disliked Better Than Ezra".

Yup, he’s showed himself to be pretty despicable. I really liked “Perks of being a Wallflower”.

Yeah I was wondering if the reflection of sun would be enough…I’m not an SME for air warfare but I do know the earliest AIM-9s locked onto the sun and hot rocks so they keep tweaking it to only make it follow really hot stuff.

I’m also surprised that the thin material of a balloon would be enough to detonate the warhead.

So I guess they changed their tune back to balloons eh? Bet there will be no debris recovered other than the first one.

So does anyone know much about computers? I know nothing about specs and what requirements are needed or whathaveyou. But I'm looking for a computer to play Steam games on, and this popped up as a ridiculously cheap laptop.


Now obviously it's not a gaming laptop or a full desktop PC, but do you think it'd be alright running less intensive/demanding games?

depends on the game specs really. The memory at 8GB is fairly light but manageable, but not sure the processor is strong enough to handle say Civ 6 on that.

This definitely depends on your definition of "less demanding" but there are a *lot* of games that fall into that category, including some amazing classic games. It was first released in 2013, so bear that in mind.

I mostly just play roguelikes, and most of the time, they're the equivalent of flash games. Slay the Spire, Brotato, Hades, etc.

But I will admit the new Harry Potter game has caught my interest, and I have played some more demanding games in the past (No Man's Sky, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Balder's Gate 3).

I might just wait. The big discount on that laptop is very, very tempting, but I think in the long run, it'd just make more sense to save up and get a Steam Deck or a gaming laptop to be sure I can play any game I'd like.

I would think if gaming is of any importance, you should look into a laptop with a dedicated graphics card. Obviously depends on the games, buuut.

DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 4096 MB
PIXEL SHADER: 5.1
VERTEX SHADER: 5.1
OS: 64-bit Windows 10
FREE DISK SPACE: 85 GB

Hogwarts Legacy Recommended Requirements
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 (3.2Ghz) or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (3.6 Ghz)
RAM: 16 GB
VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce 1080 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or INTEL Arc A770
DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 8192 MB
