Not obscure, but I always felt FF3 never got enough credit. Largely because it never got a western release at the time I imagine. It was incredibly ambitious for a NES title, the nested world maps was absolutely bonkers at the time and it was really the first real form of the iconic FF job system.

Yeah the party was just a blob of blank slate characters, but overall I think it actually holds up pretty well.

So are the citizens of the DPRK all starving and barely able to lift a finger or strong young soldiers who are swinging the war on their shoulders?

Are we sure they aren't pretending to be soldiers, since we know every single person in the DPRK is an actor pretending to be happy.

I am going to stop going to work, because making me go to work is a plot of putin to .

If you disagree, you are a putin apologist. I will still need that paycheque though.

Just reaching across the aisle to pander to the more fascist elements, nothing else.

Nah, that would involve them engaging with non-Japanese. They basically sequester themselves to black vans driving around and Twitter. Lots of Twitter.

Yeah it’s pretty much garbage

It’s not even trying to get you to do anything. Just phrased as a bizarre self introduction about how much he likes nuking places. A lot of scams here are phrased in that exact way “Hi, I am name! My hobbies are…”. I used to get about ten text messages like that a day.

Not really sure what the goal of this particular one is. I am not aware of anyone with that name even they’re trying to target.

Only 330 huh? Those were the only Nazis memorialized right? Definitely no other fascists mixed in there?

I have always worked in some form of customer service, which has all kinds of...fun moments. Highschool through university I worked in restaurants. Got the full gamut of rude customers, customers rolling in thirty seconds before close, etc. Had a customer try to pay us in cocaine once, which we do not accept as legal tender.

I am in [luxury] hospitality now and have had to deal with all kinds of entitled jerks and celebrities. Including some heads of states that I have very strong negative opinions about. The mid tier CEOs are the worst though, because they think they are far more important than they actually are. Had a guy call the police while he was checking out because he didn't want "a foreigner" handling his luggage.

Saved us the effort of blacklisting him, because the police obviously escorted him out instead.

I would offer to help sourcing/translating it if needed, I am in Japan, but ultimately doubt it matters much if it is just random spam. Just sounds like random right-wing Japanese twitter folks.

Those poor pharma companies will suffer without being able to sell insulin. Considering three companies make almost all the insulin in the world, if you undercut that their CEOs may not even be able to get the latest model of yacht next year. Then the yacht companies will go under too!

It will be an absolute cascading catastrophe obviously. Therefore it is critically important they are able to sell insulin at several hundred dollars per vial!

Oh good, the NAFO folks are going to get stuck in a logic loop now. NAFO must be infilitrated by Russian agents so NAFO needs to get together to put a stop to NAFO.

Maybe we can get shibas back sometime soon.

"made it clear that they will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the US presidency, but more importantly, that they discourage any moves that could lead to a second Trump administration - namely voting for a third party candidate. "

So they don't endorse Harris BUT here is the standard Democrat template line that the greatest threat to our democracy is so you better not vote third party!

Which leaves them with...a tacit endorsement of Harris. How the hell are you going to try to campaign to "push the candidate left" when you already just admitted you are voting for them no matter what.

Honestly even if China DID just randomly decide to invade Russia for no apparent reason, it wouldn't cause WW3. Every western imperialist would be having the party of their life while they let them fight it out. They would be fucking thrilled, nobody would dare get involved to the point it would become a world war. They'd have massive balkanization parties where they figured out who would get which piece of each country.

Of course, the chances of that happening are about as likely as the US withdrawing all their occupation forces from bases around the world.

What is far more likely to cause WW3 is probably the "country" bombing other countries, staging a yet ongoing genocide, and assassination foreign leaders extra-judicially.
