Over 4,200 buildings destroyed and a death toll climbing by the hour. It's freezing, miserable winter weather there, too, which makes the situation that much worse for everyone involved.
An unrelated second quake measuring at 7.5 magnitude hit southern Turkey only hours after this one, by the way. Absolute disaster.

All of th outlets are focused on the Turkey/Syria Quake and Chinese Spy Balloons. Both are very important, but under any other circumstance this would've been a very heavily reported and important subject. I feel bad for everyone living there, and the enviornment. Another shitty mand-made disaster.

Idiot question:
PVC isn't vinyl chloride itself right? IE: unless my figures catch fire, I'll be okay right?

^What he said isn't a joke, he's off slandering he whole TK staff (And I mean not just the staff, mods and admins as well) in the Comments section.

As for the news thing, that woman is an idiot, simple as that.

It gets even worse. Norfolk Southern is paying $6.5 million to derailment victims (which is maybe ~$1250 per person), but is shelling out $7.5 billion for shareholders.

We live in a shithole country.

This would be amazing if someone could wrestle Halo away from them! Although it would take another large corporation to make the purchase and they probably wouldnt do much better.

Well Bungie was bought by Sony a while ago. Do you think the Xbox brand might get absorbed by Playstation?

On a side note, this just in from Iran : https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-64797957. Could the regime be responsible?

This is kind of what I worry about, another souless mega corporation getting hold of it but then that's probably the only ones who could afford it. Perhaps Microsoft might see Sony as too much competition overall. Maybe they'd sell to someone like Embracer Group who somehow seems to have infinite cash and has been gobbling up established IP.

I don't know if the regime is responsible. I do know that there are those with power all over the world who would like to restrict education to the "privileged" few and are willing to take desperate measures to do so.

6 dead, 3 of them children in school shooting at Nashville, Tennessee

Just another day in America.

What's even more disgusting is that the Tennessee governor loosened gun access barely a month ago. And right-wing pundits are already using this as ammunition to further push for the stripping of trans rights.

I think both situations, the violence and reaction, are digusting, but in different ways.

What's interesting was that the main news source I was following (CNN) didn't say anything about the shooter being trans, and it was only after I checked fox news out of curiosity, that I saw that. There's no excuse for killing people, and there's no justification for the heinous acts that have been contributed. However, this does follow a very similar pattern to many recent shootings, of someone being angered at someone in their past (maybe for legitimate reasons), and carrying out violent atrocities due to easily accessible guns, and probably lack of social safety nets that would prevent them from doing so otherwise. I do think it's revealing in how unstable America is at the moment, where we are seeing major discontent and violent acts being perpetuated by those that wouldn't fit the profile easily of shooters from 10 years ago.

The reason why the trans highlight is such an issue here though, is it shows that many on the right wing, understand that trans/LGBTQ stuff isn't inherently some political movement or philosophy. Someone can still be trans/gay or whatever and still be a POS, just like any other man or woman can be. It's because they're people, just like the rest of us. I suppose one might argue that they want a "motive" for shooting, but "motive" is different from "cause".
