    Labeling something that is near required to survive for most things in life as "White Supremacy" is sus AF.  It feels like something that's so incredibly stupid that there actually might actually be something more sinister behind the objective like trying to keep who would listen to that garbage dumb.  I'm going to assume it's nothing  that deep and it's just surface level.

    Good thing we have conservative talk radio to tell us about it.

    Self checkout in general just makes petty theft so much easier to the point that the majority of people who would probably never steal have probably at least thought about it while standing in line.  I've walked into a CVS and there's nobody at the counter, just the self check out and they just got people roaming the store.  Nobody is checking receipts.  There's literally nothing standing in the way of me just grabbing a bag of candy just because with my other stuff and putting it in my bag and walking out the store aside from my own morals..  I really don't know what they thought the end result was going to be when you give people in general too much the benefit of the doubt.  I've seen that shit working first hand at Gamestop when they stupidly told one of these times to leave games 14.99 and under in the cases during one of the holidays I was working there.  Thought it was one of the absolute dumbest things that corporate issues down on us and LO AND BEHOLD...massive amounts of shrink.  There are some people who just steal shit regardless of what it is if they're given an opportunity to do so...even if it's Ninjabread Man at less than $5.

    John Deere also has a trademark on that particular shade of green that goes on their tractors, though like the Ferrari red, it probably takes some doing to make it.

    As long as the scope is narrow, totes legit.

    The Court's ruling, coming after extensive argument and a three-day hearing, validates T-Mobile's position that wireless customers identify T-Mobile with magenta and that T-Mobile's use of magenta is protected by trademark law.

     

    I remember Fluke getting yellow multimeters kaboshed as well.

    Those fuckin tempur pedic mattresses are expensive as fuck, but goddamn, you will be sleeping for 3 days in a row in those motherfuckers

    Guy Raz interviewed the founder of Tempur-Pedic about how the company got started, and the story is completely crazy but pretty much at every turn, anyone who he could get to actually try the thing was immediately sold on it.

     

    Kinda makes me want one.

    Any juri players here? I've never played a store character but she seems fun as hell, how hard is it to manage her stores and how fun is she to play? 

    The store isn't that big a deal, you tend to get some charges incidentally by ending block strings in a store or using the heavy store to launch in a combo.  You just have to be aware if you have a charge or two to use in a combo, and if you don't you can probably use OD version instead of a version enhanced by a store.

     

    The main thing to be comfortable with is drive-rushing into peoples' faces like a madman.  If you like that, you're gonna have fun with her.

    Been a hot minute since I watched Trigun. Thanks to Adult Swim, it became one of my favorite animes. Picked up the series on DVD about a year ago and finally decided to binge it. Legato is one of the coolest villains ever. His first meeting with Vash is a perfect encounter. The dialogue, the setting, the music. Dang, man.

    Agreed.

     

    Yet somehow the people who made Trigun Stampede didn't understand anything that made the original series great.
