I have not managed to find anyone who thinks that in the wild, but it is so damn funny.

SHES LITERALLY MATCHING WITH ROUGE????

Washington Post is paywalling the article but it looks like Taylor Farms — a consumer bagged salad brand that also supplies produce to grocers and fast food chains like Taco Bell, Walmart, McDonald's, Chipotle, Burger King, KFC, and Meijer —may be at least one of the sources of the current cyclosporiasis outbreak.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

He's around for an extremely short time, and while he has the very impactful revival of Jaller in his corner, the fact that Takanuva gets brought back from the dead two minutes later by means of some completely unexplained nonsense dents that a bit. His only other contribution is opening the gate, which could've been achieved several ways, including not having a gate at all and making Makuta the only obstacle to getting back to Metru Nui.

His characterisation is also a mess because it's so heavily tied to Bob Thompson's version of Makuta. Bob's Makuta is more misguided than pure evil, and merging with Takanuva gives him clarity, represented by the grime and dirt being cleaned off of his armour. He realises that Mata Nui needs to be awakened and they use their merged strength to open the way back to Metru Nui.

Except Bob's Makuta disappears after 2004. Greg's version is characterised very differently, to the extent that Makuta's role feels almost absent, and you just have to kinda conclude that Terry was thinking "Yeah okay, Mata Nui's probably dying by now, time to let 'em back into the robot to save him" and relied on his labyrinthine mind to conceal that from Takanuva.

More than 50% of Indigenous communities in reserve areas in Canada are at high risk of pipeline spills. When there is a spill, reserves are disproportionately impacted.

The National Energy Board and Supreme Court of Canada has a history of declaring the "public interest and economic interests outweigh Indigenous and treaty rights." Basically, Indigenous peoples don't count enough as "public" to matter.

Pipelines are built without proper consent from the Indigenous Nations they choose to occupy. Keep in mind I say choose, because this is the case even when alternative pipeline routes are suggested that could avoid reserve land. This is a direct, constant, and often violent threat to Indigenous sovereignty.

The MMIW crisis is funded by the oil industry through the creation of worker's "man camps" near reserve land. These "man camps" are nothing but pits of sexual violence and human trafficking of Indigenous women and girls. I am not exaggerating; this is well studied and well documented.

"Damn, I have too many if these pieces, I'm going to look for an excuse to use them on anything because I'm just tired of how useless they've been"

..Only for a month to pass and every bionicle you make needs only that exact piece after you already used them all to make something absolutely silly

On a totally unrelated note, I gave good guy a gun
