    That reminds me of when I got someone's "How could you do this to me?" breakup texts.

    Followed about a month later with "I'm happy now with someone else and FUCK YOU!" texts.

    I don't remember the exact words of the second one (decade ago with an old phone), but I do remember that the general gist of them, as well as the late hours they came up on my phone lead to the impression that they were sent after having some excellent sex with their new partner.

    This reminds me of while playing Everquest, I send a friend of mine a friendly "hello" tell and received several very explicit replies.

    Because using /reply for your cyber is a bad idea.

    Bad News: After 20 years of hoping medicine might be able to repair it, man has arm amputated.
    Good News: He kept it, had it taxidermied, and mounted.

    https://www.newsweek.com/amputated-arm-preserved-taxidermist-1479889

    The best parts are 1) He did what's called a European Mount, which means basically just the bones are mounted. 2) In order to do that, you have to remove all of the flesh, which was done by using 3) beetles to eat off all the necrotic tissue. Then 4) because the taxidermists didn't know human anatomy they had to call a doctor to put it back together. And last, but best of all, 5) "He told the station he plans to keep the arm behind his kitchen sink."

    I thought the best part was about the woman who had something done with her leg:

    Burglar gets tired, calls 911:
    Cartersville Police say 911 got a call from a man saying he was trapped and needed help but he wasn't sure where he was. Investigators pinged the phone and it led them to Salgado Tires on North Tennessee Street.

    Police responded and found 30-year-old Nathaniel King on the floor underneath some tires. He was trapped. Police managed to free him.

    A friend of the owner of Salgado Tires says King didn't appear to be hurt, but he was extremely upset.

    "The guy was crying, he was sitting there saying 'my wife is waiting for me, I want to go home'," said the friend.

    McDonald's advertising department in Japan continues to not think marketing through:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHlf4-wqvAY
    There is an innocuous commercial and everything! But all that innocent creamy goodness is undermined by poor word choice.

    McDonald’s is calling this tasty treat the “Otona no Kuriimu Pai” (大人のクリームパイ), which means an “adult cream pie” and inadvertently evokes the sexual slang. This was certainly not the fast-food chain’s intent. I hope.

    Otona no (literally, “adult’s”) can have a neutral meaning of something that is for grown-ups or something with sexualized connotations. So someone should’ve known?

    Kansas Man requests the most weaboo response to divorce proceedings:
    A Kansas man has asked an Iowa judge to let him engage in a sword fight with his ex-wife and her attorney in a trial by combat that will settle their ongoing legal dispute.

    David Ostrom, 40, of Paola, Kansas, said in a 3 January court filing that his former wife, Bridgette Ostrom, 38, of Harlan, Iowa, and her attorney, Matthew Hudson, had “destroyed (him) legally”.

    The judge had the power to let the parties “resolve our disputes on the field of battle, legally,” David Ostrom said, adding in his filing that trial by combat “has never been explicitly banned or restricted as a right in these United States”.

    He also asked the judge for 12 weeks’ time so he could secure Japanese samurai swords.

    Can't make this shit up, folks.

    Y'know, if both parties completely consented to it... I'd freakin' let them. Not with swords, obviously. More like stiff foam bats or something. And completely supervised. Basically in some way where nobody can possibly get seriously hurt. I guess it'd be more akin to a sport with points and a ref than an out and out fight to the death. Otherwise yeah, if you two idiots actually agree to it, go for it.

    It sounds like this is the latest bunch of BS between these two, and the judge is more than a little fed up with both of their shit.

    Feds arrest operator of swatting group with white supremacist ties:
    The US government has criminally charged a Virginia man for helping to organize dozens of "swatting" attacks and bomb threats made against a variety of targets in the United States and Canada. The man allegedly belonged to a group that coordinated via IRC and Tor hidden services to target prominent gamers, journalists, and government officials.

    The group's online chats were often racist, with comments suggesting antipathy toward Jews and black people. In one case, the group made a fake bomb threat to the Alfred Street Baptist Church, a predominantly African American church in Alexandria, Virginia.

    Security reporter Brian Krebs was one of the first to report on the arrest of defendant John William Kirby Kelley. Krebs was the target of a swatting call he believes was organized by the group.

    Kelley allegedly did research for the group, identifying possible targets and suggesting that others make calls. He also helped maintain the group's infrastructure, according to the FBI.

    Kelley was identified by authorities after he called in a bomb threat to his own school. While he blocked his own number during that call, he later made a second call to the police without properly blocking his number. Investigators realized that the two calls might be connected, questioned Kelley, and eventually got a warrant to search his devices. Police quickly found videos, chats, and other records Kelley had saved documenting his involvement in other hoax calls, the FBI says. They also found recruiting material for Atomwaffen, a violent white supremacist group.

    I hope they throw the book at him.

    Depends if they want to sell them to people who speak those languages. GM choosing "Nova" for a model name did them no favors trying to sell it to Spanish speakers who heard it as "doesn't go." Japanese McDonalds do get business from English speakers visiting or living there so it may have been worth checking in this case.

    It's a Japanese product being sold in Japan with a Japanese name, the idea that they have to account for American slang is ridiculous. It's fine to have a little laugh that you can translate a forgein phrase into something related to sex in English (and basically everything is slang for sex/sex-related in the US) but having to "account" for it is not.

    The Nova thing is false btw.
