The Odyssey but retold as a low-stakes modern adventure of one guy out with his girlfriend leaving the bar with his buddies to do just one (1) simple thing real quick, it'll take like 15 minutes tops, he'll be right back, but then some bullshit happens and the trip keeps getting more complicated as more bullshit keeps happening while he just tries to get back to the bar because he promised his girlfriend that he'd get back and he knows that she's still there because she told him she'd wait there.

And by the time he finally gets back it's almost 3 am and the bar is about to close while she's sitting there stone cold sober, surrounded by 5 drunk guys unsuccessfully trying to convince her to give up on waiting for him and go home with one of them instead. And the guy shows up to proceed to beat the shit out of them before explaining himself to her like hey sorry bullshit kept happening, my phone fell into a storm drain and my wallet got stolen when I was trying to find someone who'd borrow me a phone so I could call and

His girlfriend had been fending off the 5 drunk guys for most of the evening by explaining that even if she was going to ditch her boyfriend, she can't possibly leave without finishing her beer, which she is keeping perpetually full via careful sleight of hand where she's just pouring it back and forth into and out of the pitcher.

However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.

That buys her another hour or so and then, finally, her boyfriend makes it back. He looks like shit, hair down and just a mess, he's wearing an entirely different jacket that he got from an alley, and barely recognizable—especially to 5 guys who've been drunk for hours now. He lurks for a minute, finds out what's going on, and proceeds to pull off the trick shot first try. Throws the jacket off, fixes his hair with a hair tie his girlfriend lends him, finally looks like himself again, and THEN beats the shit out of them with the pool cue.

I mean, not to be an asshole but the point you are making is... Inaccurate.

Yes, the main reason why Brexit succeeded was English (not British, there's a big difference there) nationalism and fear mongering. And yes, leaving the EU basically destroyed the UK's economy.

But that economy didn't collapse because of a lack of Polish immigrants. Poles (and other peoples I'm greater numbers) have kept moving to the UK. The UK's economy is in the shitter because they had spent decades building themselves up as part of an integrated European economy and suddenly they weren't part of it anymore.

And the reason why Poland is doing so well isn't that its young people are staying in the country and building it up. Poland has continued to suffer brain drain and a receding workforce. The reason the Polish economy is booming is because joining the EU 2004 kickstarted the economic boom Poland had been strangled out of having by the USSR for decades. That's why so many of the other countries in the upper half of the list are also Soviet ex-subjects, Poland just happens to be the largest and most resource rich of said countries in the EU.

So, yeah, OP's screenshots are correct. But the explanation is less about xenophobia and more about cold economics.

Legendary fantasy artist John Blanche has died. He is known mostly for his long association with Games Workshop, where he served as art director and created many of the iconic images that shaped the Warhammer and 40K worlds. He was capable of working in diverse styles, but much of his art and his own creative miniature conversions made his name synonymous with the "grimdark" aesthetic, mixing elements of moody gothic architecture and body horror with a limited color palette.

He also contributed to GW's UK edition of Dungeons & Dragons, Fighting Fantasy and Sorcery! books, and other books and album covers. Wombat Games recently published an authorised biography, Blanche: The Rise of Grimdark. A skirmish game, John Blanche's En Garde, is in development with a setting and visual style based on his art.

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

Many accounts of the legendary mermaids may owe their existence not to a fish-like humanoid, but to the elusive sea beavers (Castor littoralis).

This species of rodent, much like its freshwater cousin, builds complex wooden structures, creating artificial reefs to farm fish and seaweed. Unlike their relatives, though, their supply of wood is limited. While most rely on driftwood or tear down human docks, some populations have opted to construct intricate lures, possibly to attract human attention and provoke shipwrecks. This brings in a new source of materials to grow their ever-larger barriers.

Last day to reblog this before Mermay ends. Last chance to prove the mermaid enjoyers in your life wrong with FACTS

i think hamas and hezbollah and the irgc and basically every terrorist organization hellbent on killing the jews makes a little more sense or is at least more morbidly interesting to look at when you view it under the lens of them being people who just don't know how much power they've lost. because the arab conquests happened so long ago that landback people refuse to acknowledge that colonization happened in the first place, and in that time across the entire world really there were basically zero consequences for oppressing jews. nul. efes. because sure there was that occasional pesky uprising but anyone but jews caring about antisemitism is a very very recent historical development. and at the end of the day these groups are religious extremists, and religious extremists more often than not are people so conservative they're basically stuck in the middle ages. so like yeah they're aware that the jews have a state and an army now and all that but just by the osmosis of the kind of culture they live in and absorb jews are still viewed as something very destructible. a century or two ago you could commit a massacre, you could commit many massacres against jews and walk away relatively unscathed. but now jews have actual agency in the world and we have the power to retaliate, retaliate hard even, and that simply doesn't register to the islamist mind. it doesn't compute.

The Muslim/Arab world never forgave Jews for having the gall to basically punch their way out of dhimnitude. In a sense, it's not very different from how us in the Western/Christian world haven't forgiven Jews for not accepting our belief that Jesus is the messiah. It boils down to the perceived offense that is the survival of the minority.

Obviously, it's a much more recent affair between Jews and Muslims that it is between Christians and Jews, but that has clearly not worked to weaken the older form of antisemitism. So you sadly can't even take solance on the possibility of it fading away.

For Muslims, however, it bears mentioning that this perceived slight that is Jewish autonomy is at a cultural level the second half of the one-two combo that started with the abolishment of the caliphate and the carving-up of the Ottoman middle east. Most of the radical hatred of the 20th and 21st seems from a culture-level unwillingness to accept that history, in fact, doesn't inherently favor them. In a sense, you see a similar but more focused example in Russian history since the fall of the Soviet Union: A violent reaction to the reality of history not playing favorites.

CIA INTERROGATOR: did you know the "wasabi" in most sushi restaurants outside japan is just horseradish, and that real wasabi is almost impossible to mass produce, and thus very expensive?
