If you zoom way in on his official portrait you can see that the flesh from his brow folds over and almost completely covers his upper eyelids; you can mostly only see the eyelashes poking out and what you can see of the eyelids are in shadow:

How did I not know that Hinckley is not only free but also has a YouTube channel lmao

My brain is like the inverse of Bumblebee from Transformers–when people talk at me I end up grabbing on to bits of lyrics and melodies from songs. Well, it’s not quite so constant, but when it does happen I often end up in a reverie completely missing what the person was talking about because I’m now focused on hearing that song in my head.
It’s wild to me that 9/11 is supposed to be this huge solemn event but no one gives a shit about the thousandfold horrors we inflicted upon the Middle East in return. On the one hand, you have a few thousand lives and a handful of damaged and destroyed buildings, none of them critical. On the other hand, you have MILLIONS of lives, devastated infrastructure, imprisonment, torture. There’s just no comparison. And when you spend so much energy memorializing the former, you are implicitly declaring the latter to be of lesser importance (some will go as far as to say it explicitly, but beyond civility there’s little practical difference).
sleeping is bourgeois decadence 
he just kept going lmao 
Whenever I see bogos binted I just think of Rosemi’s theme song
The /r/soccer thread on this is pretty good, even has some upvoted comments with people talking about how the DPRK is a staunch supporter of Palestine
A poster’s vacation is good for the soul, I hear ya! And no problem–files should be back up now!
In the early days it was actually pretty normal to buy premium games (most pre-smartphone games were paid and I remember buying multiple games when I had an iPhone 3G), but as soon as people realized you could continuously milk people for subscriptions and microtransactions on a device they carry with them everywhere, it was all over. I’m sure there are still passionate devs making good mobile games, but that’s not where the money’s at.
Separately, premium apps are a lot more common on iOS to this day. I don’t know if there’s anything about the App Store that encourages this or it’s just a quirk of history, but I figured it was worth noting.
I know that a lot of the combat in gacha games has an auto-battle mode because realistically people don’t care much about the gameplay and are just farming 7 different in-game currencies so they can roll more gacha.
Honestly made me tear up seeing this. Amongst my peers, I’m the only one still masking which can feel (and in a real sense, is) incredibly isolating. Seeing individual maskers out and about is bittersweet–I’m glad not to be literally alone, but it’s also a reminder that both of us are just fighting tooth-and-nail for the health of ourselves and those in our immediate ambits, with the health of the broader community completely abandoned by the state and by nearly everyone around us. But seeing people still fighting the good fight en masse gives me hope. 
Also, if anyone’s interested, I haven’t gotten a chance to watch it yet but it seems that the Death Panel podcast hosts did a panel at the conference. Warning: the audio can be EXTREMELY crunchy, particularly at the beginning, so headphone users especially should turn their volume down basically as far is it can go before watching. There are professional captions provided, so you can mostly just rely on those. Skimming through, it seems like it’s mostly only crunchy after Bea’s (leftmost speaker) intro when Jules (rightmost speaker) and some of the audience is speaking–regardless, I’d tread carefully.
The full virtual program can be found on the conference’s front page

I’d guess male actors simply prefer to be anonymous and the audience doesn’t care enough for it to be a deal-breaker. There’s a stronger preference for anonymity in Japan, and it’s pretty common to see people’s faces blurred out in the background of vlogs (or conversely, content creators filming themselves from the neck down or in masks), so even though face blurring seems kind of extreme it would be consistent with that trend.
The weirdest moment for me is when a woman sensually runs her fingers through his hair @1:22 
Already happened, but America wasn’t ready and they went out of business
I’ve never heard this term before, but I think the key phrase is “party who disagrees with a speaker’s message.” Presumably, the people calling in bomb threats are on the same page as Vance, so they’re not hecklers, and any pressure on Vance to stop is an unintended side effect. If people were calling in bomb threats to Vance’s rallies, that’d be a heckler’s veto.
Ultimately, though, who the fuck cares. Jesus Christ, libs are insufferable.
