Not the same word but in the many Filipino dialects, apparently there is no word for hike. All my relatives could only come up with the equivalent for “walk”.

This is what I read. Apparently HSI operates within ICE. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/ap-report-ice-agents-will-help-with-security-at-milan-cortina-olympics

I should have clarified that it is HSI that is there, not ICE.

The thing that is being buried by most headlines and maybe articles is that ICE is a part of Department of Homeland Security. One such part of DSH is Homeland Security Investigations. People are conflating the two. HSI has been for many years at such international events with a U.S. presence to conduct investigations regarding international crime and terrorism.

EDIT: I should have clarified that it is HSI that is in Italy, not ICE.

Historians incorrectly discussing doom scrolling: Here we have a random Internet person discussing the popular method of playing the video game Doom on a PC, which the controls are modified for a scrolling click-wheel on a mouse can perform a rapid-fire shot from a weapon. It was rather unclear what they meant by asking the person reading what someone wanted them to do in replace of this.

I was thinking it was a rip-off of Legion of Doom.

I said useful. How is doing illegal things useful?

So DHS really didn’t teach the new hires anything useful. Got it.

This really sounds like a knockoff of Legion of Doom.

Is naming this after a Klingon, who famously as a culture talk about wanting to die a lot, appropriate?

It should be Global Outbreak Response Network.

As an American, I would like to know what he thinks we have been giving them. Cause I can’t think of any.

Are they gonna feed Brawndo to the AI?

If only we could do that in the U.S.

I’m shocked kidnapping a world leader wasn’t a war crime.

EDIT: Is it not? I genuinely don’t know.

There is a sequence in New Moon that is a time jump of multiple seasons. There a literal like four blank pages that indicate the character, Bella, is in a catatonic-like state. She literally can’t form a response to what was occurring around her. Many readers assume this is a cheap way of doing a time jump but even the movie depicts Bella a catatonic state.

I recall we get a sense of internal monologue but everything coming from Edward’s POV is lacking any depth or emotion. When Bella speaks, it is monotone. If you’ve seen the movies you’d think Kristen Stewart was giving a deflected performance that might suggest some disinterest in the role. Not saying I enjoy the movies or the books (as an adult), but this performance to me is spot on for how Bella is depicted.

EDIT: Unrelated, the cars in the movies are not a product placement. Mayers wrote Edward driving a Volvo.

I don’t recall any suggestion of their intelligence. Just that whenever Edward attempted to “read” her mind, he could never glean a single thought. It was a blank void.

Not just a minor but person who might have a mental disorder/illness. In case you never read Twilight, the vampires have unique abilities, Edward’s being telepathy. When he meets Bella, he is unable to detect any thoughts from her. The entire book Bella is literally described as having no subconscious thoughts.

Lord Zedd is Chrome?

He compared the attack to WWII. He clearly has no idea what he is doing.
