Me and my nephew are going to see Metallica next month for his first concert, and I'd love to try and hook him on some more metal, and I'm looking for some all-timers, your Judas Priest Sentinel's, your Maiden's Hallowed Be Thy Name's, your Helloween's Halloween's, your Rainbow's Stargazers (arguably more hard rock, but still metal-adjacent enough). Absolute 10/10 facemelters to make a nice playlist for him to listen to.
The whole fun (if you want to call it that) behind Phil is watching him fail and get mad. The hand-holders actively hamper the only thing Phil has close to entertaining content and could literally be watching any other streamer who does a better job if they actually want to watch someone competently play the game. Phil's only niche is failure and what not to do, so it's frustrating watching these dents baby him through the game to the detriment of actively entertaining content.
The Misty rage was the funniest stuff I've seen from Phil in years, throwing a spoilt child temper-tantrum over how he can't beat her, but because of the dents, they've basically prevented us from getting much entertaining from his Firered run. He's just the stalest form of slop without it and I can't even get ironic enjoyment from watching him anymore.
I'm visiting Bangkok in September and I love crocodiles. I'm aware of Wat Chakkrawat which has a pool for a few Siamese crocodiles, as well as saltwaters (my particular favourite) being viewable in Safari World and Bueng Chawak aquarium that seem to pass basic animal welfare standards. I'm avoiding the Pattaya and Samut Prakan crocodile farms because of the dreadful treatment of a lot of the animals there, and the latter's famous, alleged 6 metre crocodile Yai passing away last year which makes the decision to not go much easier.
Are there any other places that aren't 4+ hours away from Bangkok that I could see salties that are somewhat ethical? Wildlife and scenery is a big reason why I'm travelling.
James Bond vs Lara Croft, 2 British action stars
Personally, I'd say this is closer than you might initially think. Whilst Bond is a notorious womanizer, Lara also took a lot of artefacts and kept them in her personal collection instead of donating them to a museum, and also killed WAY more animals than Bond.
Through owning and influencing both the procedural mainstream political structure and the unfettered aggression of the far-right, I feel Gaza and Lebanon are merely previews for the ultimate ambition that the Israeli empire that leads the western world; they want a holy empire, built upon the ruins of the Arabic world. They want an American and European populace terrified and aghast with all Muslims, leading to manufactured consent for the most barbaric of actions conducted against civilian populations enmasse. Gaza is merely the demo. They want Turkey, Iran and other Islamic nations to suffer the same fate, and they want Muslims expelled from Europe with nowhere left to go, if not outright thrown into camps. The Islamic Panic has been aggressively thrust into the minds of the right as loyalist footsoldiers (see: Tommy Robinson) and now, with the failed superstructure of "woke", the ecomic hegemony are re-embracing a classic scapegoating of migrants to deflect from the clear and outright failures of contemporary capitalism.
Israel and ultra-capitalism are the greatest threats to world peace, and the US and Europe should seek to expel its influence as soon as possible. The manufactured crisis against Muslims is astroturfed into acceptability so as to maintain undying loyalty to a hyper-corrupt, monstrous Israeli regime.
I'm so sick of this perpetual victim complex shit being pushed to the hilt. Genocide of Palestinians is acceptable, if not outright encouraged, yet an attack that didn't even kill anyone is literally the next 7/7.
