I’m a bit of a word nerd, and I was wondering the etymology of the word kidnap.
kidnap (v.)
1680s, thieves’ cant, a compound of kid (n.) “child” and nap (v.) “snatch away,” which probably is a variant of nab (v.). Perhaps a back-formation from kidnapper, which is recorded earlier. Originally "to steal children to provide servants and laborers in the American colonies.

It’s as American as apple pie apparently.
What if I told you that being a Dem doesn’t automatically make you a good person?
“Beep boop boop bop.”
I once camped at a hick RV park on a lake. One of the RV’ers had erected a flag pole that had an American flag and below that a flag that read, “WELCOME TO THE SHIT SHOW.”
I think those flags should always fly together.
Idk man it was less than 200 yards. The military does qualifications out to 500 with the same caliber. Right after it happened every journalist was out there saying it was an impossible shot, which it wouldn’t be for a reasonably skilled shooter. If you look it up most folks are saying 5.56 is effective out to 600 and a skilled shooter can group at 1,000 or more.
Idk why I’m arguing about this the kid was a useless shithead, just wish he’d done better I suppose.
No he was well within range for a 5.56. the problem was his scope wasn’t sighted in correctly and he sucked at shooting. https://youtu.be/ulh88aBI0iU At about the 5 minute mark he gets into the incorrect zero.
I thought I’d heard a rumor that TES 6 was going to be an Oblivion remake, which would be a dick move on Bethesda’s part if true.
There are mods that add Skyrim and Cyrodiil.
I think Project Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Tamriel are the ones.
I’ve not played them, watched a stream play one of them. The tippy part is they go off the OG lore so Cyrodiil is a more tropical/Mediterranean climate which is fun.
STALKER Anomaly with GAMMA on top of course.
Deafening, I think is more apt.
For real. I’ve seen people being dicks from every instance. I see far more .world peeps going into a frenzy because their world view was slightly critiqued than crazy tankie takes. Not saying those don’t happen, and fuck tankies, but there’s definitely more whining “fuck .ml” memes I see. It’s just jingoistic bullshit. This is the Internet, nothing you do here really matters. Get the fuck over yourselves.
When you think about it nukes are the ultimate Chekhov’s Gun.
For sure. That’s why I said it’s not surprising.
Was there ever a legal fund set up? It’s interesting, but not surprising, that there’s been almost no further coverage of this.
Are they finally doing a Ninja one? Goddamn, took 'em long enough. It seemed obvious to me after I played the 2nd one.
Nobody wants to work anymore!
K is common short hand for a thousand.
Is anyone else getting United Healthcare ads in their Gmail promotions tab? Seemed a little tone deaf.
Edit A word.
Some would say his tastes are quite rich.
