If you really want to get into it the general rule for road travel has always been don't go too far outside of the state borders of the state on your license plates. It doesn't matter what state it is, having "unreasonably" (e.g. generally about 3 states away is about the point it starts) out of state plates has always increased your chances of being shaken down by the cops, mainly because they know you're very likely not going to be able to make the trip to traffic court so you can even attempt to contest your ticket.

Besides bad geopolitical takes, it's kinda just on cruise control at this point.

any Winnie the Pooh joke

You know, I almost have to wonder if anyone who makes those jokes has even watched like any of Winnie the Pooh, like at all. Like every single story has always been some problem comes to the Hundred Acre Wood and then Pooh and his friends come together despite their differences in strengths, flaws, and personalities to solve and fix the problem.

Sorta, that goes for the guys on the ground, but radar tracks stuff in relation to it. So if there's a plane 30km ahead of you and you're both going the same speed in the same direction, that plane in front is significantly harder to see on radar.

Again, this is how it had been described to me.

A radar guided missile locks onto the radar signature, which we're right back to needing to know what the stealth fighter looks like on radar so that you're sure you're not firing onto something that isn't a fighter. Now we're also not really getting into the ways to defeat radar without having stealth plane stuff on your plane.

Trick question, stealth fighters were never completely invisible to radar, the point is to trick the guy manning the radar to think the blip showing up isn't a hostile plane. Essentially once someone figures out what your stealth fighter looks like on the radar, you no longer have a stealth fighter.

That's generally how I've heard it described to me.

Honestly with the way Nintendo currently designs games, I wouldn't want them to make another mainline F-Zero game. Mainly because the two best F-Zero games (X and GX) run counter to their current trend of "you will have fun the way we say you will" game design.

Though it is pretty funny that the best F-Zero game wasn't even made by Nintendo, it was made by Sega.

Damn it, I still laugh at stuff like this.

"Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like what is beauty because that would fall within the purview of your conundrum of philosophy. I solve practical problems."

Yeah it is, it's good at being used as a Gamecube.

before they enact gun control

And last I checked, gun control in america has historically always been about keeping guns out of the hands of anyone that isn't white.

Now, with that being said, if there's anyone who I wanted to do some legally questionable stuff to in the 5 years i worked at at factory. It'd be the 3rd shift manager, and some of the division managers, each for different reasons.

It's a factory, they all practically speaking shut down on Christmas week, and depending on the factory and what they do (or how behind they are) they could shut down all the way through to new years as well.

At least that's my experience with factory work in the car supply chain, and the factory where this happened here looks like it's roughly doing the exact same thing. Also just as an aside, a lot of factory type work still here in the states almost always has all sorts of problems with retaining workers.

Honestly the NCAA football games from 05 (2004 on) onwards have always been much more interesting football games over madden. 2K5 is a really good nfl game, but I honestly rather dick around in the NCAA football's dynasty mode than 2k5's franchise mode.

I think people forget that many of these games came out before the dual shock

Also even then, the dual shock was entirely an optional peripheral for nearly two whole years until 1999 when a game was made and released to push it, and that game was called Ape Escape, a game that imho would be an entirely completely forgettable collectathon platformer if it wasn't for the fact that there wasn't a standardized twin stick control scheme yet until pretty much Halo:CE came out and entrenched a standardized twin stick control scheme. I know Halo:CE wasn't the first one, but it was the game that firmly entrenched it for twin stick controllers. Which meant that they actually experimented and came up with a unique control scheme that that again imho is likely the only reason it ever became a classic in the PSX library.

And yes, I am of the opinion that Halo:CE was a universal net loss on video games in terms of causing nearly every single game since then all feeling like they need to control the exact same way all the time.

It's real.

Also, shame on OP for not sharing a link.

Let's see here, I work 3rd so society already considers me an outcast, live in rural ohio so finding anyone remotely closely aligned may as well be functionally impossible.

Seasonal depression for me ends up being all year. New years, nobody to be with. Valentines day, "look at all these happy couples, experiencing a part of life you'll never be able to have, get fucked loser". 4th of July (seriously, it's the 2nd closest thing to a community event here), I really hate being in large groups of people, plus I just don't care for overpriced carnival food/games. My birthday, it's become nothing more than a reminder that I'm another year older and... oh right I turned 30 this year, well we all know what society thinks of a single man who hasn't ever dated really at all. Halloween, homeschooled church kid so I never had any feelings on it at all, besides hating it because I got to watch other have something and I just couldn't. Thanksgiving/Christmas, I've been avoiding it mostly because my grandparents have somewhat given me the implication that I should've been married and had a kid at least 5 years ago at the latest.

Self care to me just ends up being me continually finding distractions to not ending it in spite wanting to.

The thing here is that the guy murdered here oversaw the company that he was in charge of was effectively in a sense condemning people to death, and as such in a sense he has a lot of blood on his hands whether he knows it or not. Did he personally deny claims that condemned people to death? Certainly not, but anyone who thinks that he had absolutely nothing to do with the circumstances that led to claims being denied that could've saved lives would be a naive fool at best, to a corporate bootlicker at worst.

In an ideal world, he would be in a courtroom facing a trial, but we're not in that world and quite frankly until we come into an ideal world this is the closest we're going to get to that.

This is what I said to someone who has the ideal of there should be zero reason to enact the death penalty on anyone, and to someone who also seemed receptive to more leftist thought. Reading it again, I know I definitely libbed it up in places (sadly, I'm just really used to having to really watch what I say), though I was trying to keep it concise and get the point across.
