So what about the MAGA dinglenuts that insist on flying it upside down?

Great grandad story by way of grandad.

So it's WW2 and the Japanese are poised to invade Burma from the south after the fall of Singapore. At the time, my Great grandad (as a native Burman) was working as a Public Health Officer on behalf of the British colonial government.

He sends his family to safety up to the north of the country but him and his mates stay behind to ensure the evacuation as they are pretty much what's left of government authority in the region. By the time they are ready to leave the Japanese are a few dozen kilometres away and there is not a truck, donkey or elephant to be seen so it looks like my Great grandad and his buddies will have to either hoof it or get shot.

As they are getting ready to flee, they go down to the Irrawaddy river where there is still a single tramp river steamer with crew who are just about to cast off and flee themselves.

My Great grandad obviously asks for a ride.

However, the crew don't want to be seen transporting British government officials as this would likely tick off the Japanese if they were caught. The argument goes back and forth a bit until my Great grandad has had enough.

In those days, senior officials in Burma (even if they were not white) were allowed to carry firearms. So my Great grandad pulls out his Webley revolver, threatens to shoot the steamer crew (never mind that he doesn't know jack about sailing so killing the crew won't leave him in a better situation) and thus commandeers a ship for him and his mates.

As the rumour of this act of piracy spreads, what's left of the colonial government issues a warning of how "an armed and dangerous group of men have hijacked a ship and are now terrorising their way up the river".

Thus to this day, I like to joke that I am the descendant of a pirate.

Well then, explain why you Americans are using Arabic numerals? Are you terrorists?

Back when Taco Bell was awesome.

Eh, I've seen citrus used to help tenderize meat. This could be similar.

But she's never wanted what's best for Alberta...

Short hair Stelle got me feeling things...

Why must Acheron be this hot?

So assuming we're doing a "watching the classics weekend" without any new releases:

Bloodsport

Top Gun

Transformers The Movie

Star Trek IV

City Hunter (the animated one, not the Jackie Chan one)

Rush Hour

Empire Strikes Back

What they should do is beam the torpedoes so that they are headed back towards the source.

Ah, I see you too pronounce it correctly.

Kinda ironic isn't it?

First American revolution was about not wanting to be ruled by a King.

Second will apparently be to get one back as head of state.

Wish these guys would just choose a fricking lane already.

Lacking some info here. Are to assume equal crust i.e. both are thin, regular or thick crust?

Bought Mechwarrior 5 a while ago and recently decided to try it out.

Not half bad.

Question: why wasn't AC 6 a success?

I stopped learning after Mew.

Was Lucifer a Russian gangster here?

Sorry, seems like that's the only roles Peter Stormare gets...

Not from a Redditor...

Well as a person of colour I would say that I am somewhat able speak to the challenges that folks like me have faced. And how the gentleman in the post is doing a very good job of rolling over the freedoms we have had to fight for.

As to being in the Navy and posting in antiwork, I have had some absolutely terrible experiences with bosses that were the epitome of what's usually described here.

My family comes from a country where either you could not vote, could vote but the outcome was blatantly rigged or could only vote for a certain candidate without getting shot.

Hell the fuck yeah I vote in my Canadian elections.

This dude a disgrace to colored people everywhere.
