People think the female sumo in Assassin's Creed Shadows is a joke, but it’s real. They added a female sumo who kicks and pulverizes Japanese chuds. Worse, in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, 'rikishi' meant 'man of strength.' With such a rich history, they chose this to mock Japan pic.twitter.com/N9k7jSA1X4

Wow. Congress just tabled a bill that would *actually* kill open-source. This is easily the most aggressive legislative action on AI—and it was proposed by the GOP senator who slammed @finkd for Llama.

Here's how it works, and why it's different to anything before it. pic.twitter.com/XKIWWY7oYv

Soft power (soft rangs of soft power) cost is "but our allies" divided by "many lives will be lost" multiplied by "America will fall behind".

That means 50 million gibouts for Iraqi Sesame Street equals 69.420lb of soft rangs of powaaaaaaa!

I am very calm about these matters, but it is a big relief!

Shot Show, a big firearm manufacturer convention, was this last week in Las Vegas. Some small manufacturing and machine shop by the name of BSD Fabrication & Works showed up promoting that they would be building copies of Russian VSS firearms, which would be a cool item to own.

Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons interviewed them and posted a video yesterday about his conversation with them, in which he expresses skepticism about their ability to do so (for example, Ian finds their comment about how "easy" it is to stamp metal concerning) but genuinely does hope for the best.

He also makes a comment about this in a private Facebook group, informing people that he does not recommend giving them deposits beforehand.

In any case, the owner of the shop starts sperging out on his personal Facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BNtQxTwmp/

Most comments are from people supporting him as he continues whining as much as he can.

Although there are instances of people pointing out that these are mild concerns and criticisms.

There's about 70 comments in the facebook post.

Redditors in the /r/nfa sub (dealing with laws and regs created from the National Firearms Act) also learn about this:

https://old.reddit.com/r/NFA/comments/1iafjns/has_anybody_seen_ians_video_on_the_bsd_vss/

BSD is a clown and a C tier machinist. Charged an arm and two legs for simple machine work in the old days of the form 1 community.

For the curious about his history. This guy even used to bead blast his parts to hide chatter on threads

ETA: the HUBRIS of BSD with the stamping question. Lol. Lmao, even.

If memory serves, he got banned from /r/NFA because he was constantly hawking his services.

Link referencing his history is further down.

The guy is a meth head and an absolutely terrible machinist.

The history referenced in that first comment is this link here (bunch of pictures in this post):

https://old.reddit.com/r/NFA/comments/16j4e0b/heads_up_about_bsd_fabrication_works_llc/

Ah the first picture explains his pricing. When I heard what he was charging for those Surefire conversions, I thought he was smoking crack. Turns out it's actually meth.

Anyways yea this r-slurred meth addict reeeing about a mild critique is definitely going to re-engineer a niche firearm and sell it to the masses.

Not trying to play devils advocate for a racist weirdo, but how are you sure? Not trying to argue, just curious what gave it away.

This is, of course, assuming it's the OK hand gesture. If it's something less obscure, the answer is self explanatory

He was taking a selfie in the mirror. The hand that was at his side was doing the white power gesture. Hands do not naturally fall like that… so no.

EDIT: Hinge has actually emailed me to say they've taken action against him, so I'm not mistaken as you're inferring.

Her previous posts indicate she absolutely hates men, but is having trouble finding her disney prince on dating apps because they all love hitler.

Instead of using a steam deck like a normal person, some people need to soy out and get OFFICIAL nintendo switch controllers to use with their machine that already has controllers built in. Not only that, they're also tying it to the headrest of the person in front of them (because frick the rich people who have the privilege to fly). Thankfully the top comments were able to escape the circlejerk of the subreddit and realize that this probably isn't a nice thing to do nor impressive. The funniest part is that he has a tray table right in front of him AND a custom case which has a kickstand.

This dude has been a member of Ars Technica's forums for 24 years and somehow thinks that the AI bubble is bursting because... it's continuously getting better and new products are being launched? Maybe he's just talking about the financial side of things but even then I don't really see it.

Imagine the reportmaxxing potential on a 24-year-old account.

These guys make Redditors look smart.

I'm sorry that you missed the crypto boom, please get over it.

This is the most downkongd comment in the thread. Attacking China is BANNED.

This comment was also towards the bottom, but has 67 upkongs so must be a fairly popular opinion.

I'm sorry

Total Morbius AfD (stands for ADolF) sweep.

Recall one of the most insane graphs ever: After a decade men paid off ~30% of their loans and women paid off ~3%

Men pay down student debt and women don't. They have different expectations around college's use and different sensitivity to cost-benefit. https://t.co/KlUXc8cTnn pic.twitter.com/pxsnF9Vr27
