That there's what we call "Minnesota Ice."
Ignore the ICE pun.

I genuinely don't know if this is a "Minnesotan" thing or an "old guy of a certain age" thing but in case it's Minnesotan and people need an anger translator: this guy is so angry he could just about set something on fire with his mind.

I know I'm very late to this conversation, but as the translator of the "Mugen Gacha" light novel, I was the one who originally decided to render Gold as a Brit, as you can see in this clip

Have you ever come across a racial slur that's so ancient and so obscure that you don't even know it's even a slur when you first hear it?
That's what happened to the person who tried captioning this disturbing scene from Bill Moyers "Rosedale" documentary depicting racial tensions in Queens.

Why should we trust the police for anything anymore?
A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.
This is beyond cruel.
