Kent Cigarettes (with the Micronite a.k.a. asbestos filter), Life Magazine, 1953
  • From the Wikipedia page:

    From March 1952 until at least May 1956, however, the Micronite filter in Kent cigarettes contained compressed blue asbestos within the crimped crepe paper, which is the most carcinogenic type of asbestos. It has been suspected that many cases of mesothelioma have been caused specifically by smoking the original Kent cigarettes, and various lawsuits followed over the years because of it.

    Jesus Christ.

  • Anon doesn't like simps
  • I'm not siding with the crazy person posting the green text, just explaining their point. They are saying that the simps made it so profitable to be a virtual girlfriend that all women have become one, and there are no girls left that will date him because they've learned they can profit off of sex. When you really read it, op is an incel and believes the only thing keeping women from prostitution is the guaranteed paycheck. Op believes that once they realize the money will come in, every girl in the world will become a professional sex worker.

  • After Initial Success, Helldiver’s 2 Has Lost 90% Of Its Players With No Signs Of Recovery
  • Without any real sense of progression, I just couldn't find a reason to play unless I had a friend who was already online and playing. Unlocking new weapons and whatnot is fun until its not, and when I don't have the minutia that comes with an MMO or the randomness that comes with a rogue-like, I don't have anything to look forward to from the next run. There was no surprise to the game, and the initial luster faded pretty quickly when I realised what the treadmill was going to be. If there had been a more single player focused bit to it, I may have lasted longer, but being so heavily reliant on a party meant it was a group of friends, or some randos that are going to waste my time.

  • This is how we ended up with a servant named Grayskull.
  • Believable. I once passed by a book titled "Common Circumcision Rituals of Orc Clans in the Great Southern Wastes" written by Dr. SpinalfluidHammer, MD. The cover was of the author holding a too-large knife covered in too much blood. He seemed happier than the situation called for.

  • Woah, woah, keep that thing in its sheath.

  • Any npc I make up on the fly is 100% an orc. I can just put bodily-fluid+weapon together and boom, named.

    Oh, him? Yeah, that's the Orc bartender PissMace.

  • Wait, did Chase actually say that? I thought it was a parody. Holy shit.

  • I've put left over baked pasta in tortillas before and ate it like a hungover savage. I'm OK with this picture. The only thing missing is a brick of cornbread.

  • Just a bunch of kids eating mushrooms and playing with fire.

  • Oklahoma’s State Superintendent Requires Public Schools to Teach the Bible
  • I just don't see how this is so blatantly done. It should be a slam dunk in court. Churches don't pay taxes. Public schools are funded with taxes. Churches don't get to make the rules for public schools.

    Let's flip it on it's head. I don't tithe to churches, but now all churches must serve pepperoni Eucharist and orange soda at service. Done. That's the rule, now, since it seems like anyone can just say some shit and it has to happen. Don't push me, or I'll make you fill the baptismal with lime jell-o.

  • It's like counting the seconds between the lightning and the thunder, you can hear the clangs of the breaking traffic lights and estimate how far away Jimbob is.

  • Helldivers 2 director weighs in on Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's difficulty: 'A game for everyone is a game for no one'
  • Yeah, I'm already past the curve so the nerf didn't do much to boost my power. I had already run some numbers when I was working out a build, and the difference in pre- and post- nerf was around 3%. The real secret to the DLC is to run around and explore. Getting fragments to boost yourself makes all of the fights much more tolerable. I was at 10 when I beat the aforementioned boss, and now I'm at 15, and it's getting pretty even with the base game. I think people just weren't expecting the fragments to be as important as they are.

  • Helldivers 2 director weighs in on Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's difficulty: 'A game for everyone is a game for no one'
  • I just beat one of the bosses that I've heard the most complaints about, and I did it on the 5th try using a non-dlc weapon. I went in fully prepared to throw a controller, but it really wasn't that bad. So far I'm really enjoying the DLC, and it's because it has been difficult yet rewarding.

  • HORI announced a special gamepad for Steam / Steam Deck [classic "Xbox layout"]
  • I've been looking for a replacement for my Xbox controller because I'm tired of buying new ones that all have sticky B buttons. Hopefully this will do the trick.

  • Captain Kirk's final words were, "Oh, my," and I love that.

    Think about all of the things he has seen, all of the worlds he has explored, all of the green women he has slept with, and when he is faced with death, it shocks even him, to the extent that all he can say is, "Oh, my." I'm not sure how popular this scene is among the Star Trek Zeitgeist, but I imagine it's probably hated. I, however, love it. Feel free to tell me how I'm wrong in the comments.

    Question about Steam Deck vs Gaming PC

    I have a Steam Deck, and I love it. It can handle 90% of my library, and it's always improving.

    I decided to try out a linux distro for my OS, because the biggest drawback has always been the hoops that I had to jump through to get games up and running. I went for Pop OS, since that seemed to be natively friendly with NVidia, and the lowest barrier for entry. However, in Steam, I see that there is a much more limited selection of games compatible with my system. Is there a way around that, to get the same selection as my Steam Deck? Or is it this way because the Steam Deck is a singular platform that is developed for based on specific architecture?
