Of all the shit to charge Adams with, of course it's bribery by scary foreigners instead of any of the significantly worse shit he's done as mayor.
The books do mention her having a bodysuit that she wears underneath power armor before, so it's probably supposed to be that. No excuse for the gratuitous cleavage beyond she wants to look sexy while shooting things angle though.
It's very old art at this point, but I think it's generally still considered canon.
Cain has impeccable taste on top of absurd imposter syndrome.
That's a big thing in the Horus Heresy series. There's definitely a dude underneath it all, but he's so massively psychically powerful that he's got a permanent glamour effect that adjusts to each viewer's conceptions. The Mechanicum sees him as a scientist, the primarchs largely see him as a massive warrior, etc.
improbable female authority figure
female authority figure is Cadian
Cadia is (yes, Cadia still stands. fite me chaos nerds) a world where every human with a pulse and an age above 5 is handed a rifle and sent to boot camp because LITERAL HELL IS RIGHT THERE, JUST LOOK UP AT THE DAEMONS COMING TO GET YOU
Bruh.
Ultramarines are improbably diverse
Ultramar is literally Space Rome, a massive cosmopolitan space empire consisting of 500 worlds and trillions of people
I'm going to find this person and beat them with my worn-out copy of Know No Fear until they stop whining about the existence of women and black people long enough to have at least a cursory knowledge of the lore they're butchering.
>Mulaney took the opportunity to point out the irony of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs focusing on AI and the future in a city where thousands of humans struggle to live and maintain basic living conditions. “Let me get this straight,” Mulaney said. “You're hosting a ‘future of AI' event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?”
>Mulaney even compared the event attendees to himself and his son playing wiffle ball. “We're just two guys hitting wiffle balls badly and yelling ‘good job' at each other,” Mulaney said. “It's sort of the same energy here at Dreamforce.”
Still a piece of shit for cheating on his wife, but standing in front of Jensen and telling him that his work makes the world a worse place is full critical support.
"Doom spending," the new media term from the same people who harp on why it's important that inflation be constant lest people not spend all their money all the time to keep the economy afloat 
based and Samuel Hayden-pilled
I feel like the systemic response to BLM completely negates your assertion. If mass riots don't get even token police reform as a result, then it's pretty clear that our leaders don't give a shit about anything short of someone putting a gun to their head.
Going through that part of the country for the first time was wild to me because until you're there it doesn't occur to you that there is no shade anywhere. Even in an air conditioned car you will still be uncomfortably warm because the sun will be beating down on you for the entirety of daylight. I can't even begin to imagine hiking through that, I'd be experiencing heatstroke within an hour.
Also considering that a lot of this C code is going to be extremely critical code pathways, like making sure your banks don't collapse and your energy plants don't blow up, the major pain paths for migrating to another language are going to be rigorously testing every last path through it, not rewriting it.
Who could've guessed that trying to invade the world's most infamously uninvadeable region could've ended poorly for a combatant that has a smaller military than its opponent and has been having major logistics issues?
Fortunately for all involved it's not like there was any historical precedent for this being a bad idea.
Fuck, just institute a 0.1% tax on Wall Street and you'd have to expand the MTA to spend all the money you'd have.
Can't wait for Adams' next primary opponent to run against him not because cops are shooting people over unpaid subway fares, but because the rounds of ammunition spent in the process were more expensive than the fare and so it's not efficient fascism.
This is one of those blowback cases of patriarchy hurting men. Because the dominant social structure has men objectifying and harassing women constantly, it can be difficult to openly admit to finding a woman attractive as a man because people, very understandably, are going to assume that he means that in an objectifying way or is going to go harass her in public trying to get a date out of her and respond accordingly.
It obviously doesn't compare to the consequences faced by femme presenting people, but I'll have a moment every now and again where my bi femme partner and I will notice someone in a cute outfit and I have that moment of knowing that she could walk up to them and compliment them on it without issue, but if I tried to do the same they're likely to be defensive and assume I'm about to ask them for their number.
I love this libertarian obsession with "true free markets" as if there has ever been or ever will be a market with no nation-states or major conglomerates putting their fingers on the scale for their own self interests. What a world it must be to live in where one is so high on idealism that they somehow miss how incredibly fucking worthless even considering such a thing is when a child could point out that would never occur.
Brandenburg players salivating over forming Prussia in 3 quick wars and developing geneseed for their troops in the 14th century.
You have to scan all 30 cards, then print out receipts for all of them, then assemble each card with its corresponding receipt, then prep 30 pens + card holders for that, then hand them out to the right people, then input all of their tips afterwards, and hope nobody fucks anything up else you're dragging a manager over for the worst night of your life.
It's actual hell dealing with more than 3 cards per table.
The background buildings have strong sci-fi military bunker vibes
The curvature of spacetime does wild shit to how you would expect physics to work. If you want to fall into a gravity well, you have to slow down or you'll just slingshot past it.
Questioning the design and dev progress was apparently "against company policy."
The best version of Skies of Arcadia, including having the villain be a mirror universe TERF.
Just remember, we are thousands of feet in the air.
I had this pop up in a news feed and just laughed at how tone-deaf the whole thing was:
>In 2021, the Body Shop gathered a group of Gen Zers who are passionate about the climate to critique the company and provide insight into how to be a force for good at the United Nations’ COP26—what could go wrong?
>“The activists that were working with us were pretty critical of commerce,” Davis says, adding that there’s a cohort of extremists who think that all businesses are bad from an environmental standpoint. “We live in a world of trying to balance profit and principles. It’s not so straightforward.”
>Although the conversation was colorful, he quickly learned that in order for criticisms from a board comprising bright young minds to actually be constructive, they’d need to be less radical.
>“It wasn’t just a question of getting young people who are interested, who are smart, who care about the world, who want to make a difference—that’s actually not enough. On top of those things, you’ve got to bring people in who are on the side of wanting business to succeed,” he says, with the caveat, “but succeed on sustainable terms.”
>With a vested interest in the company’s success, Davis imagined their feedback would err on the side of constructive criticism, rather than the company just being “slammed.”
"Sure, we could have a moment of introspection when even the labor aristocracy we surround ourselves with as underlings want our heads for lighting the planet on fire for profit, or we could just ignore that and find sycophants to keep telling us we're doing great."
Still a good sign that the kids are at least a little alright.
