Does it count as ‘weirdly aggressive’ that I had a comment removed for an unsourced quotation? Because I was quoting the person I was responding to, directly in the comment I was replying to.

This is the kind of gang violence I can get behind

Are you planning on removing the molten batteries from the truck? Something tells me burying* the whole truck is the easier and safer course of action.

Because suffering and fear is the point

Same, and I also thought Kamala would win because our voters couldn’t possibly be dumb enough to elect the dipshit fascist again after how badly it went the first time and how he was talking about all the awful shit he’d do.

I was wrong to put any faith in my fellow citizens, clearly.

Apparently Floridians didn’t have the right to not be hit by a car for exercising their first amendment rights

Same, though the nice thing about being in a (largish) polycule is that someone gets tested every few months

That’s only because they don’t have the religious law in place yet.

Lol, you don’t have to be celibate to be willfully childless. I have plenty of friends that got the snip/knot before having a kid because they don’t want one. And they are some of the sluttiest motherfuckers I know (and they’d take that as the compliment it was).

Hard hitting science experiments from before the year 2000!

I found Triangle because it was in the same vein as Primer, which is fucking amazing!

Lol, you think they give a fuck? They’ll be dead in a decade, probably well before it’s a widespread problem.

Plus, they’re on the SC and can influence the system to come down hard on whomever fucks with their data. There’s no way alito or Thomas wouldn’t lean on a lower court, they’re fucking corrupt as it is.

Anybody have a TLDR for people who have been blissfully unaware of the Space Karen vs Twitler slap fight?

I would say I’m baffled at how her supporters could think she was a decent politician when she doesn’t even proofread the bills she votes on and votes against her own opinions regularly.

But then I remember that I could just stop the previous paragraph at ‘think’ and have my answer as to why.

Lol, when the fuck do you think gaming is going to fit into the parental leave? During your 30ish minutes of respite between feedings and exhausted to all hell, or during the off shift time where you’re greedily getting every bit of sleep you can?

The freedom is gone, it feels like a communist regime and it seems that their success is their downfall.

Much like the current American hellscape, you’re thinking of fascism, not communism.

I had moved away a few years and my mother was homeless due to her own choices and lack of effort to do anything. My wife and I were in town visiting her family, and we decided to take my mother out to dinner. During the meal she was (rightly) complaining about the perils of being homeless and having to watch out for the pigs. I suggested that she look into getting into some government housing. You know her response?

“I don’t want to be the light in he dark.”

If you’re as confused as I pretended I was, she means she didn’t want to live with/around black people. Which was really fucking surprising to me, considering we had lived with, around, and had been friends with all kinds of POC growing up (as you you tend to do in poor and mixed neighborhoods and when you have to rent out rooms to get by). That level of racism was rather surprising, but she had become toxic as fuck in the years before I moved, so it shouldn’t have been.

I unironically love Armageddon and The Core. Yes, they’re both stupid and unrealistic movies, but that works in their favor about as often as against. Something about the way they play with the core concepts makes me love them.

I’ve installed Bazzite, and I’ll be making that my daily driver once I finish my documentation (and figure out how to get balatro mods to actually load -.-)

Very easily, that’s why you never see things like “use glue to keep the cheese on your pizza” or “Marlon Brando is a human man and will not be in heat because that’s for animals”
