I could never get through the 2nd ostrich riding sequence in the 2nd level as a kid. The rest of the game was fine, though, once I used the level select to skip ahead. Turns out, it was because my eyesight was shit and I couldn’t even see the correct obstacles on screen (I was trying to avoid the branches, but no it was pink hippos and bird nests the whole time, so my timing on the double jumps was always off). Replaying the game a couple years back when Disney re-released it alongside Aladdin, I found it still tricky, but doable.

Why is Israel in quotes? I thought it was a translation artifact at first, but no other country in the article is in quotes.

That said, good on Colombia.

Man has apparently decided that being a Zionist is the hill he’ll die on.

I’m pissed that it took him so fucking long to finally give Ukraine the same treatment he gave Israel, and that makes me a Kremlin stooge? That’s some impressive mental gymnastics there, guy. 🙄

Let me spell it out for you, since you so obviously need it. Biden has circumvented Congress multiple times to send aid to Israel, who are probably the last people in the world who actually need US foreign aid. Meanwhile, if he could circumvent Congress for Israel he could have doing it to help Ukraine instead, who actually need the aid. You seriously don’t see a problem with his priorities here?

Seriously, dunno why this didn’t happen sooner.

Man is also a member of the party responsible for the dysfunction, don’t forget that.

Being appalled that it took him this long to bypass Congress to support Ukraine when he’s been doing it the whole time to facilitate the genocide in Gaza is maggat now? Pull the other one.

Was wondering when Genocide Joe would finally do this for Ukraine as well.

Problem isn’t the billionaire vote, but rather the billionaire dark money being funneled to the other guy instead. Which I’m sure they’re all doing anyway, but they could decide to do it more. Which makes it ever more important for grassroots efforts to get the vote out so that we can eat the rich in spite of their efforts to dodge our hungry maws.

Not even that, really. Mythbusters just had the car flip upside down after entering the water and just the process of tumbling over was enough to get Adam to burn through his air and tap out (I don’t remember if the car reached the bottom or not, but their setup left the car doors still facing sideways).

If you can’t get the windows down before the water pressure seals them shut, it’s still survivable without a glass breaker if you keep your wits about you and the car doesn’t flip. You’d need to take a deep breath right before the interior completely fills with water and then just sit there until the pressure mostly equalizes. There was at least one reported case of someone in a submerged car specifically crediting their survival to Mythbusters successfully showing just that, but a variation of the scenario involving the car flipping while sinking into deeper water later proved to be much less survivable.

The way I see it, if you’ve bought a game from GOG you’ve already paid, so no one can truthfully say in good faith that subsequently grabbing a cracked version of the Steam release is a lost sale.

The BIGGEST loser! Nobody loses like he does!

President Loser continuing his losing streak.

Al Qaeda was never in Iraq though.

We already saw how well that turned out for Florida. But people with basic pattern recognition tend not to be right wing, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Once again, GOP proving that they never operate in good faith.

1. It’s not much different than purposely calling a trans man or woman by their former name.

2. Using her birth name as a form of mockery kind of acts to devalue similar cultural names. I don’t want Indian Americans to feel as though they are lesser than for living in America and keeping a culturally significant name.

That’s rather explicitly the point, I think. It’s very much a “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” thing of turning her and Ted Cruz’s own bigotry against them in an attempt to highlight their hypocrisy. How effective that is, and whether or not sinking to their level in such a way should be done at all even if it was, is arguable of course.

Hm, don’t remember seeing that with the Switch demo. Yeah, that’s skeevy though.

And what about when Israel tells Palestinians to head to an evac zone, and then bombs that evac zone?
