BudgieMania , to gaming in Netflix: Streamer's expansion into gaming is 'natural extension'

I'm not surprised they feel like that, they have a lot in common with the gaming space in terms of fucking up franchises due to unrealistic expectations

That was the first thing that popped into my head too. I was gonna say, sounds like a problem for D-FENS.

This bs made it impossible to buy sodium nitrite, which is a very useful reagent as an amateur chemist. Like really can’t we just start blaming the people that use chemicals irresponsibly instead of the chemicals themselves, like they’re some anthropomorphic inherent evil out to get you.

They said they were annulling the results of Saturday’s election, in which President Ali Bongo was declared the winner.

Military officials later said that Mr Bongo had been placed under house arrest and one of his sons arrested for treason.

His overthrow would end his family’s 53-year hold on power in Gabon.

Anyone with more info or knowledge?

Same for Penn Station. I stopped there on a road trip recently. What a total disappoint. The 6in sun has 2.5 oz of meat. WTF SMH. Never again.

ZeroEcks , to worldnews in Burger King faces legal claim saying Whopper is too small

Okay but the size is actually fine as it is (in Australia)

huginn ,

It’s not about what the size is, it’s about the discrepancy between the advertised size and the actual.

Agree. I’m not feeling it in my conversations with people. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Also, if that is the case, then WHY? We should be asking that now, before the referendum.

China claims land that is not theirs?

Wow, never seen that before...

autotldr Bot , to worldnews in China map: India lodges 'strong protest' over territory claims

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Indian media have reported that the map shows the north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh and the disputed Aksai Chin plateau as China’s territory.

India’s protest comes days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke on the sidelines of the Brics summit in South Africa.

The source of the tension between the neighbours is a disputed 3,440km (2,100 mile)-long de facto border along the Himalayas - called the Line of Actual Control, or LAC - which is poorly demarcated.

China says it considers the whole of Arunachal Pradesh its territory, calling it “South Tibet” - a claim India firmly rejects.

In April, Delhi reacted sharply to China’s attempts to rename 11 places in Arunachal Pradesh, saying the state would always be "an “integral and inalienable part of India”.

Relations between India and China have worsened since 2020, when their troops were involved in a deadly clash at the Galwan valley in Ladakh - it was the first fatal confrontation between the two sides since 1975.

autotldr Bot , to worldnews in Burger King faces legal claim saying Whopper is too small

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The lawsuit accuses the fast food giant of misleading customers by showing the burger with a meatier patty and ingredients that “overflow over the bun”.

The class action lawsuit against Burger King alleged that the Whopper was made to look 35% larger, with more than double the amount of meat compared to what was actually served to customers.

Lawyer Anthony Russo, who represents the plaintiffs, did not immediately respond to a BBC request for comment.

Earlier this year, Taco Bell was sued in the US for selling pizzas and wraps that allegedly contained half the filling that was advertised.

Last year, a man in New York proposed a class-action lawsuit against McDonald’s and Wendy’s, in which he accused the two companies of unfair and deceptive trade practices.

The lawsuit alleged that McDonald’s and Wendy’s burgers in marketing materials were at least 15% larger than they were in real life.

What a roller coaster of a story if you read up about it. Jazz? Freemasons? Lionel Messi (ok he just does the story equivalent of a cameo but still)?
