"Blutstamm" is the German translation for
"Blood Tribe," an American neo-Nazi and white supremacist group.

Edit: Saw this on Twitter and wanted to bring it here. He unfollowed and hasn’t commented on it. Let’s see what he says before coming to his defense or making any outright accusations

He was, and is, the owner of Kiyomura Corporation, which runs the Sushi Zanmai chain across Japan. In Tokyo he is known as the Tuna King, because every January he buys the most expensive fish at the first auction of the year at the central market.

UPDATE' Reading these comments really only proves my point. Blaming entire religions or races for the actions of a handful of people. Yes, shitty Muslims exist. So do shitty Christians, shitty Jews, shitty Hindus, etc. Reducing their shittiness to their religion and punishing everyone under that category seems to only harm everyone but the one with the shitty behavior.

You guys seem a little to comfortable cowering under the guise of free speech to perpetuate literal hate and racism. That kind of criticism is not valid, it's just an excuse. And it ultimately makes YOU a shitty person.

The title sums it up. I know that a handful of people online are not representive of the whole community, but it is utterly disappointing to see the lack of condemnation from our leaders against the blatant racism and bigotry in every comment section. Worse, that some of them are so called admins and moderators without a backbone apparently.

Let's also be so real, it's really targeted at one specific group.

You are allowed to criticize people of any race, religion, or creed, so long as your criticism is actually hinged on something factual and not simply an excuse to spout racist and bigoted things.

Just to be very clear, you are free to say whatever you want. You are NOT free from the consequences of saying whatever you want.

It seems to be the common misconception that free speech protects you from valid criticism. It does not.

Why do you think censorship exists?

Because your shitty uninformed racist opinions have real world consequences for which you may never have to pay the price for. Instead, you'll happily foster a community that could very well harm others for the things you say.

Just because you're loud and in every comment section, doesn't mean you're right.

Grow up and touch some grass. A LOT of grass. For a long long time.

I don't think people outside of the UK realise what state the NHS is in, particularly hospitals.

I'm still here. Onto my 15th hour. No sleep for over a day. Waiting about 5 hours in a chair now for a discharge for kidney stones (just need to be prescribed the medication for an apparently small stone, details of my trip sent to my doctor, and let go). I've been drifting into a state of manic hoplessness for hours. I'm noy allowed to fall asleep. I can hardly stay awake. My mind is broken.

Imagine how much AI can help. But it's not gonna be allowed to because AI is evil.

End me. I think my body is in active harm having to go through this. So many parts of it could've been done by an LLM in a second.

Woher nehmt ihr Car Brains euch nur die Ignoranz her zu meinen euch gehört die Straße und es ist eine Rennstrecke?

NEIN, DIE LINKE SPUR IST NICHT DIE SCHNELLFAHR-SPUR SONDERN DIE ÜBERHOLSPUR!

Und wenn ich da schon drauf bin HAST DU PECH GEHABT, UND WARTEST GEFÄLLIGST, VERDAMMT NOCHMAL!

Damit ihr das vielleicht einmal versteht... Das Wissen aus der Fahrschule ist ja wohl schon vom Benzin aus eurem Hirn rausgeäzt worden...

Die Mindestgeschwindigkeit auf Autobahnen ist 60km/h (bei triftigem Grund auch weniger) und eine Differenzgeschwindigkeit von ≥10 km/h ist völlig legitim.

Und ja das heißt dann wenn rechts einer mit 60km/h fährt, in der Mitte einer mit 70 km, dann darf ich auf der linken Spur mit 80km/h schleichen! Mach ich natürlich nicht, weil es assi wäre... legal ist es aber... Im Gegensatz dazu... wenn IHR drängelt und mit Lichthupe Disco macht, ist das EINE FUCKING STRAFTAT! Und wenn es dann rummst seid ihr zu 100% Schuld weil ... ABSTAND!!!

Und von wegen "mAn MusS DaNN SchNeLL ÜbERhOLeN". NEIN, MUSS MAN NICHT! Eine Differenzgeschwindigkeit von 10 km/h sind nicht ganz 3m/s. Wenn man den verf*****en Sicherheitsabstand einhält, vor und nach dem Auto das überholt wird, dann ist das zwei mal HALBER TACHO!!! UND NEIN DAS HEIßT NICHT DIE 10cm VOM DISPLAY! Bei 120 km/h sind das wie viele Meter.... ja genau 120... Die zu überholen braucht man mit 3m/s um die 40 Sekunden. ALSO ÜBER EINE HALBE MINUTE!

ALSO KLEMM DEINEN MIKROP***ROZESSOR ZUSAMMEN UND WARTE BIS DU DRAN BIST!!!!

HALTET GEFÄLLIGST ABSTAND!

WENN EUCH DAS ZU LANGWEILIG IST DANN FAHRT AUF EINE RENNSTRECKE! ODER AN EINEN BAUM... HAUPTSACHE IHR HÖRT AUF ANDERER LEUTE LEBEN ZU GEFÄHRDEN!

Danke für die Aufmerksamkeit. Rant over.

Genuinely one of the most sensitive mains subs I've seen ever.

Literally just pointed out how it's funny that a user is complaining about a legendary skin having slightly underwhelming animations while torch mains can't have shit and they ban me because apparently that hurt their pwecious fweewings🥺

Not even like an actual reason for a ban only a buzzword and mute because they know they just can't handle any criticism.

I don't think even Luna snow mains sub is like this when it comes to skin distribution discussion.

Edit: upon reflection I've come to a realization that most people in this community take the whole skin distribution situation much more seriously than I do which caused this disconnect as to why I believed that the mods overreacted.

To you it's like me trying to start a skin argument while to me it's just a funny reaction image to poke fun at the situation that I've seen people use a lot on behalf of torch mains. I do believe that the whole skin discourse matters to some extent but I really don't pay it that much attention as I don't care about skins in general personally.

Anything to escape the Eastern European allegations

I just started doodling and of course I would never support transphobia and I think it kind of turned out dumb and I can't pretend to be an expert on lgbtq issues but... but.... I am dumb

this was towards the end so she’s more lazy, but i’m so proud of her:) she listens quite well off leash compared to last year now that she’s over 2!

Recently subscribed to AppleCare One on my 13 Pro Max and went on a trip and short story i accidentally dropped it. Called Apple to get it express replaced with applecare and they told me my 13 pro max has no stock so they auto upgraded me to the 18 pro max for only $99 fee.

I just rewatched The Last Jedi and this is my first rewatch since it released. I felt it was time to give it a second chance. I was surprised.

First of all, the space battles in this are great. I also rewatched Empire recently and I think that this film really does a great job of recreating the anxiety of the asteroid field scenes in a new way. I was locked for that bomber scene.

I also think that the way Luke was handled while very much a subversion of expectation was really cool. Yeah, it kind of undermines the knowledge and wisdom you’d expect he’d have gained from all of his history (on screen and implied). But it does do a great job of conveying the real world experience of failure. I especially liked the part where Yoda spells this out to Luke. It feels like a Dagobah lesson that Luke missed.

I also liked Luke’s interpretation of the Jedi Order as I think it ties really well into the plot of the prequels and strongly reflects his character. He’s a Jedi that only knew the Jedi Order after it fell apart. He knows that happened and blames their ignorance for it.

He also points out that the “force” exists with or without the Jedi (and Sith) which I think is a commentary on how real world religions have historically neglected reality and spirituality in favour of dogma. This stance makes sense for Luke as he mostly learned the way of the force independently and was never indoctrinated the same way you’d expect Republic Era Jedi were.

One thing that I recall disliking about TLJ was the amount of comedic relief. Rewatching, I don’t think it’s that bad and honestly feels about the right level for Star Wars. That said there are definitely some moments that feel a little more silly than the original saga.

There are a couple things that I still have gripes with. First, the opening pan into the upcoming battle feels rushed. I was expecting a ROTS Coruscant type space battle intro. Just as the shot approaches the ship it cuts to a different shot from the planet surface. That said, the sfx and vision of the star destroyers entering the system from light speed is dope.

The Rose/Finn plot is fine until Rose saves Finn from his Holdo type stunt. Why would you set up for Finn to attempt a bold heroic gesture just to completely shut it down and direct attention to a (what comes kind of out of the blue) romantic plot line. The high stakes are immediately ripped away from the dire situation the resistance is in.

Ultimately I feel like the film stands pretty well on its own. It will be interesting to rewatch TFA. From memory part TLJ doesn’t follow through on much from that.

Does anyone else like how they did Luke? I feel like my take is probably not the most popular, but I honestly enjoyed how he was treated here.

We have had now double digits worth of these things in around the last 2 seasons. There is a large underage audience for this game, and promoting gambling to minors is very dangerous as it could lead to addiction. Does Netease want their child audience addicted?

Edit: People are claiming that the response to Lion at 415 was not to think he was broken. This is objectively wrong. The top replies in the thread which announced his new price:

"Still incredible at 415. Just park him in the middle to cause all kinds of problems for the opponent that they cannot ignore"

"Probably still too strong of a datasheet but it's a step in the right direction"

"And is still worth it "

"There's just legit no reason to give him a 3++."

"Good. He should be even higher."

______________________________________________________________________________________________

I fully expect to get downvoted for this, and I 100% understand. The Lion is a frustrating model to interact with for many lists, and can create feels bad moments. Go ahead and downvote away if that applies to you.

However, it's pretty clear he's not OP Broken. DA managed a **45%** winrate and 0.7 overrep ast week with the new codex, and a big part of it is the Lion.

https://listhammer.info/?faction=Dark+Angels

Lion showed up in less than half of the X-1 lists. Generic SMs are at a 53% winrate, significantly better than DA's 45%.

While everyone was focusing on his wounds, toughness, and save, all non-DA players ignored the *massive* nerf that he recieved on his abilites. All of them trigger off of DARK ANGELS, not ADEPTUS ASTARTES. As there is no mechanism for genetic SM units to gain a divergent keyword, this means the Lion does nothing for the vast majority of the SM range, and also does not get Lone Op from them. If it's not in the DA supplement, they do nothing for the Lion and he does nothing for him.

Lion next to a Deathwing Terminator squad? Gives them the 5+++ (in of itself a meaningful nerf. I piloted Lion giving 4+++ to Dreadnoughts to multiple X-1 results), RR1s to hit and wound in melee, and gets Lone Op. Lion next to Assault Terminators? No dice, no benefit either way.

This is a severely underlooked aspect of the Lion. While he is an absolutely deadly option, he is a melee missile that does not give out benefits to the majority of the army in many builds, and can only realistically engage and kill one unit at a time. And he REALLY doesn't like the Terminator-equivalent meta where his effective damage is reduced significantly by 4++ and possibly -1 damage on Assault Terminators in Terminator Storm.

If the Lion was what people have wailed about, DA would not be sitting at a 45% tournament winrate after the codex. Generic SMs are 8% higher, and RG has nearly the same durability as the Lion (4++/5+++ is mathematically equal to 3++ into non-mortal damage, and even into mortal it's only a 5+++ bs 4+++), and his abilities are all keyed to ADEPTUS ASTARTES. This not only means he benefits all SM codex seclections, he even gives reroll 1s to hit and wound to DW (both shooting and assault). This is a massive improvement compared to the Lion. In fact, it's such a better phrasing that if you could legally do it, RG is objectively better for a DA list than their own Primarch.

So can we agree once again that online 40k discussion is always pure reflexive response, and that when we let things actually hit the table, they may not be what they seem? Plenty of people were arguing 2 points. 1. Lion would only be balanced at 450+ or 2. There was no point at which the Lion could be balaned. He would either be undercosted and broken or overcosted and worthless. Yet we *do* see the Lion make X-1 competitive lists. DA are just weak enough that it doesn't matter and the whole faction is back on the strugglebus, as is tradition. (The heights of Transhuman 9th and broken CoH+DFP are by far the exceptions for DA. They have spent much more time bottom 5 in 40k history than even top half).

Simply put, I would kill for the weaker, old 10th ed 265 Lion back, even tho he has 10W T9. He was cheap enough to use as a melee missile, without needing to maximize his auras (which applied to everything, and were thus wete easier to maximize). Now he is so expensive that you both need to build a list of purely DA supplement units (and generic infantry with DA characters attached) AND manage to get him into consistent combat while his army benefits from his aura. It's an incredibly thin line to walk and can be easily disrupted. Tournament results give a clear representation of where rhe faction struggles, and it's when an opponent forces them to abandon that game plan.

Edit 2: As I said in the comments, I will come back to the thread and eat crow to every single commenter if the Lion does not see a points reduction or keyword change on his abilities in the next dataslate. So if I'm wrong, you have that to look forward to.

For all rhe "only one week" responses, how long dis it take for the community to come to consensus that the Destrier was a middling model that was okay, and the Defiler was game warping? That was discussed literally after 1 week of results. Obv RG is not an OP problem akin to Defilers, but he is amazing while Lion is usable, but not seeing a lot of lists. And DA and SM comp players have had the rules and ppints for 3 weeks. The results this last week were the culmination of all the prep that they did before that. And in that prep, top tier comp players who are DA specialists or have won GTs/Majors with them moved off of eirher the Lion (see Tony Bennet's published DA list) or off the faction in general (John Lennon, who has crushed tournies with DA in the past, choosing yo go UM+RG over DA+Lion for his supermajor). Okay, last edit, but I'm just getting a lot of the same replies.

I never watched his videos , but I do know him.. and I am aware of the fact many people hate him.. but why? idk that.. can someone specify it?

I have been jerked enough to feel the need to write this out into the void.

I have very very fond memories of tech test 2 and the early days of arc raiders on release. This game demands tension, without tension its a sandbox experience with no real economy or risk, i have played one session on pve and my inventory would make jeff bezos weep with envy, its so easy.

Pve breaks this game, the current abmm breaks this game, stop trying so hard to please everyone and stick with your vision, my fear is the current player numbers will impress the suits and all of a sudden we have my little pony supermarket looter edition.

Relax the abmm, dont introduce pve unless you literally want a destiny 2 style story and raid system and lean in harder on what made this game special.

If you really want to make a pve mode, it atleast has to be so hard and scary, people still fear taking legendary weapons and gear, the frigate would be a current good example, genuine threat to life.

My two cents.

Im now going to pvp because i have no space in my inventory.

My wife is always changing out shampoos, soaps, body washes with all sorts of new brands from companies like Lush on a zero waste kinda kick. Every couple weeks is a new brand and combo. I have no idea what I wash with these days or in what order....

Not trolling here.

Dominos and Papa Johns are just not very good. Pizza Hut certainly has a time and a place, but I'd default to DiGiorno over that.

Far from being the best pizza or even very good pizza, it's the most frequent pizza I have I'd say. The bar is just low as hell from the main delivery giants.

So do yourself a favor. Go to the gas station and buy yourself a DiGiorno pepperoni. Classic. Simple. Spend the $11 or whatever. Bake to your liking. Is that REALLY worse than the aforementioned delivery guys?
