Some AAA game company releases a big-budget title that turns out to be a complete buggy mess (like MindsEye)

[FREE SPACE] contenders in here, but I like this one the best. The next one is a very close second.

“You have to protest!”

“no, not like that”

Think of it like when you know you need to have the car keys taken from grandpa because he’s an actual danger to himself and others.

But it’s easier said than done, especially when grandpa is surrounded by people who either refuse to acknowledge his bad driving, or actively encourage him to go out and drive.

Also grandpa is armed and there’s no guarantee that any of the people around him will stop him from shooting you and everyone in the neighborhood for trying.

And don’t forget that half your siblings are actively cheering grandpa on and calling you slurs for even suggesting something is wrong, and they are also armed and aching for an excuse to shoot you. Your own gun isn’t much use since you aren’t close to grandpa, and by yourself you can accomplish little to nothing, and you can’t reliably call your saner siblings to help out without drawing grandpa’s caregivers attention.

The whole government is one giant dementia patient and needs to be burned to the ground so we can build something better, but there’s no guarantee any of your siblings will make it or even be successful.

Unrelated, my mental health is great these days.

10 years ago you’re absolutely correct.

Now? Just one less barrier for fascists to do their thing.

In a way that will realistically never happen in such a large country that arms it’s police like they’re military.

I’ll happily arm up, call the people I train with, and get to work. unfortunately without large scale organization that simply isn’t allowed by the alphabet squads because “domestic terrorism” or any number of made up bullshit claims (any leftist/progressive group. see also: black Panthers) the only thing that would result is 1-15 people dead in the street. Or more likely their beds, because they got raided at 2am and the cops just dropped grenades on their houses/apartments.

I do love how much I’ve been seeing “.ca” users clearly advocating that the US go through another revolution/civil war/domestic disturbance that causes the deaths of thousands, if not millions.

I feel like I need a shower after reading that.

A hot one.

I’m a big fan of “you paid us to remove your shit, you didn’t pay us, here’s your shit/equivalent of your shit back”

So theft and extortion. I remember when those were crimes.

I mean, half of my hammers have had their handles remade with whatever hardwood was closest. So I’m gonna go with those.

However, the most complex thing that I can repair with sourced parts would be either my truck, or my truck. I’ve had to fix it with “close enough” parts before, and I will fix it until the frame rusts (which given Northern states and salted roads probably won’t be more than a few more years)

There’s a smattering of electronics that I’ve seen mentioned multiple times as well.

One thing that is theoretically repairable, but is hard to find parts for, my washing machine. It’s a old 50s model with a lever to engage the motor, a roller on top to squeeze water out, and a simple steel gear system to drive everything. I should be able to open it up with a crescent wrench and flat head screwdriver, but I doubt I will ever be able to find ready-made parts (I have looked briefly when I thought I had a problem with it that sorted itself) but I might be able to bodge some things together if needed.

Does anyone for a moment think any article would use the phrase “Saudi/North Korean/Chinese president ‘closes’ US airspace” in any way if it were a threat to the US?

You know who’s gonna have to fix it…

Typical business, sell a flimsy product that won’t last more than a dozen uses.

You need proper 4x4 or even 6x6 timber and mortise/tenon joints for something that will last for the entire treasonous administration.

Cranial Jettison Disorder is a serious issue.

The French knew how to handle it quite well.

“Wait what the fuck? Oh so they’re being satirical and actually stating the exact opposite?.. Oh. No they’re serious. What the fuck?”

-My Internal Thoughts reading this.

An act that was clearly illegal given that he misrepresented emergency information, and I expect the exact same punishment will be recieved for THIS tampering of things.

and a gentrified neighborhood I can’t afford to live in anymore.

Gunshots at 2am and random shed fires should make quick work of that problem. I hear those have a way of lowering property value.

Leaving a few broken down vehicles in your front yard is a more legal way, I guess.

until we feel whole.

I mean, I’m down to keep stealing shit until I die.

Uncaring?

You really think they don’t care how they ruin people’s lives?

Quite the contrary. They relish in the suffering. The cruelty, as always, is the point.

Fuck them sideways with a Guillotine.

Truth doesn’t matter, reality doesn’t matter, their OWN MYTHOLOGY doesn’t matter to them. Most of them haven’t even read their own manual outside the dozen or so cherry picked verses that they use somewhat interchangeably for conflicting messages, once a week for 45 minutes.
