In July 2022, Kazuki Takahashi, the creator of “Yu-Gi-Oh!,” was found dead in the sea off Okinawa, Japan, still wearing his snorkeling gear.
He was 60.
At first, everyone believed he had died in a snorkeling accident.
He had not.
Two days earlier, a woman, her 11-year-old daughter, and a U.S. soldier had been caught in a violent rip current.
Robert Bourgeau, an Army officer and diving instructor, heard the mother screaming and ran into the sea. He managed to bring all three to safety.
What he did not know was that Takahashi had also entered the water to help. Witnesses saw him swimming toward the group before he went under the waves.
He never came back up.
My childhood experiences: Profound. Important. Demonstrate how big systems effect vulnerable people
Your childhood experiences: Silly. Tedious. You're still mad about baby things for baby reasons
Whichever Chinese guy came up with the myth that American data centers use significant amounts of water is the most effective propagandist of our age. I hope Xi Jinping gave him a hefty financial bonus.
if you are dating a woman ask her about this viral case being talked about where a woman strangled her 3 kids to death. if she is on her side or thinks the husband did it- her brain has been fried by tiktok and you need to break up with her NOW
Not to change the subject from burritos but when I was earning poverty wages in my 20s I used to go to Subway nearly every day and get a footlong Italian sub for 5 dollars. It was generally the only big meal I would eat in a day.
If I was hungry later at night, I could always swing by McDonald’s and grab a chicken sandwich for a dollar.
All of these people are screaming about “eating at home” but I basically never made meals at home in those days and I was able to get by. You used to be able to survive on low wages without making meals from scratch. If that’s not possible anymore then it’s a sign that our standard of living is declining. That’s a problem. You should care about that.
Anyway, I went to a Subway recently and that same sandwich was 13 dollars. McDonald’s, of course, doesn’t sell anything for a dollar anymore.
I've been saying for a long time, now, that eventually war will just be drones destroying each other on far-away battlefields as they fight over automated factories upon which no human has ever laid eyes.
The level of gaslighting we've had in the last 24 hours is absolutely off the charts. You can fuck off with this shit:
- "Cueta is in Africa so it's not really Spain"
Pearl Harbor is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean so it's not really the US then?
- "A lot of them have gone home"
If 60,000 people break into your home and then leave that is better than them all squatting in your home permanently, but they still broke into your house.
- "They're refugees fleeing the climate crisis" (James O'Brien came up with this gem)
No, they're not. If I was fleeing the climate crisis, I'd bring my wife and kids, not 59,999 other men. They want a better life. They can apply for a visa and if they meet our rules, we'll decide which ones we want to accept and which we do not. Otherwise they're queue-barging and can fuck off.
- They can't get from to Cueta to mainland Europe because there's a stretch of water and a border there.
Uhh, we're letting boatloads of illegal immigrants into Britain on the daily. There is absolute no evidence European countries have any desire to enforce their borders.
- It's not a migrant invasion, it's just Morocco doing it on purpose
Oh, it's an *organised* invasion. What a relief.
Fuck my life.
