ICC doesn't have an enforcement arm. The country of the citizen needs to make an arrest and Duterte merely fell on the wrong side of the current administration. Sitting leaders (Putin, Bibi) won't ever face justice as long as they are in office.

Trump won't ever see the inside the court either. He's aiming to die in office I suspect. Also the US does not recognize the ICC and will actively block any attempts at enforcement on it's citizens. Even going so far as Military action against the Hague

I'm just saying I expect Trump to commit similar crimes with similar death tolls. Maybe even worse? How they handle it will be different. Hopefully America gets its shit together

(and this is where I stop with the Trump talk here because we already have a thread for that)

Philippines is such a shit show of corruption, I'm actually surprised Duterte is getting extradited given his daughter is the Vice President.

I figure this is just Bong Bong consolidating power, taking over government further by kicking out the Duterte's.

I ask the cranky Asian dude "Can I get 4 piece, but I want 4 thighs, I pay extra" he gives me an annoyed face and goes "No, it's 2 thighs, 2 legs", I go "Ok, but I want 4 thighs, I pay extra" he rolls his eyes and asks what sides I want. I tell him, and I ask for an extra side, which I'll also pay for, he gives me the biggest sigh like I'm harsh inconveniencing him by asking to pay for an additional side. It was so funny.

Got my order home, he ended up giving me 4 thighs and a leg :lol

It was an interesting ordering experience.

Now that you mentioned it, I remember the Philippine president and VP having a major clash last year, with the VP saying she will send people to assassinate the president and his family if she was attacked / harmed. So the prez and the VP definitely weren't getting along well.

I guess this is just the way Bongbong Marcos is sticking it to the VP daughter?

lol this is pretty funny.

How long did you wait though? Last time I went I was there for like 30mins. Chicken is good, but to wait 30mins, not ideal.

Badhobz 03-12-2025 04:39 AM

Mikey what did you think of my chicken goddess ?!!!! She’s tasty isn’t she ?!?

I went there pretty late around 8, so it was dead. Waited maybe 10 minutes, fuck it was freezing in there. I guess running the heater takes away from that chicken profit :lol

Chicken lady wasn't there unfortunately :(

You piss me off, but I give you extra :ilied: HATE ME NOW!

underscore 03-12-2025 11:18 AM

He probably tossed the leg in out of habit and then couldn't be hothered to take it back out lol

Qmx323 03-12-2025 11:28 AM

Possibly but back in my automall days he'd always throw in extra.

Order a 3 piece, sometimes they'd throw in 2 extra drums, got so fat.

unit 03-12-2025 11:50 AM

its actually totally normal for LA chicken to throw in an extra piece.
i havent been in like a good decade but back when i used to live nearby, at least 75% of the time you would get extra.

Badhobz 03-12-2025 12:11 PM

She always gives me extra pieces. And every time her eyes are super wide and she says “ITS REAdY” while secretly whispering …. Fat fuck…..

They opened at 08:30 and all in all, i was done three renewals at 09:15.

So passport office was supposed to be up to 10 business day turnaround (Sinclair Ctr, Richmond, etc) and Service Canada up to 20 business day turnaround (as far as i understood)

The lady at the desk told me it should be mailed out via Xpresspost latest 18th Mar.
I just got it in the mail this morning :fullofwin:

Kind of bizarre he just quit posting all of a sudden.

For some reason (probably RS Buy/Sell), he's on my Telegram. It shows he was online during the past week.

So my pops is in VGH recovering from a big surgery.

I was successful in having Uber Eats delivered to him this morning. I didn't know you could do such a thing, but yes, just FYI, you need to have the delivery person go straight to their ward and drop it off in person. Cannot leave it at reception.

They removed all the tables in there now, only to go.

spoon.ek9 03-13-2025 09:24 AM

I am glad to hear your dad is recovering.

I also lol'd at the fact you thought there was a "reception" in a hospital that would deliver parcels and food to patient rooms for you.

Badhobz 03-13-2025 10:11 AM

He wouldnt let me go visit him! he thinks ill catch a disease or something while I'm there. such bs.

bcrdukes 03-13-2025 10:14 AM

It's his mild way of saying fuck you Badhobz! :lol

So he complained me to this morning saying that the food sucks and he's starving. I said he will likely have to wait it out because there isn't anything good at 9am in the morning, but he said he wanted junk food.. (right after a big surgery, due to clogged ateries too!!!) :okay: I told him this trash will send him to the grave, but he's like FUCK IT!!! i rather die eating trash
