I don't think the Waagh field is quite that strong in canon lore, but holy shit that makes way more sense than it should. I never even considered this as a possibility.

If only the willfully ignorant were the only ones suffering, I wouldn't care about your opinion. You have the right to go die choking on your own phlegm, doesn't bother me. But spreading misinformation kills people. You are killing people. You are a murderer by proxy. I hope with all my heart that you reap the appropriate rewards of that.

Having a couple communities on a subject does not make your instance [subject]-oriented. That's like saying my home instance, startrek.website, is politics-oriented or Linux-oriented because those communities exist. It's not, it's mostly about Trek.

She seems very fiscally responsible and leveraged her skills into being overpaid for what she's good at. Sounds like she did good. I'm proud of her.

He doesn't know how, that's not a skill he ever practiced

And if you looked around outside your bubble at all you'd see that Covid has killed more people than the Holocaust. By a significant margin. Including several of my family members. Fuck off with your denialism, millions have died because of attitudes like yours.

Yeah... Have you actually looked at our gear list with a critical eye recently? Brother we're getting arrested for everything there is.

You are what is wrong with America. Get a clue asshole.

It really does evoke a sort of manic energy

Granma Mabel who is 94 but still insists on buying her own groceries needs it to be that damn loud and it's easier for the supermarkets to just make that the default option. I only defend it because it makes practical sense, I don't like it that loud either.

But, agreed, for the love of fuck, give me the mute button. Please.

Bonus pro tip: all the annoying gas station screens that blare ads and tiktoks at you can also usually be muted. All the ones in my area have 8 unmarked soft buttons around the screen and the second one from the top on the right side is the mute button. It seems consistent across all brands of gas station with ad screens.

So, Gordon Freeman then.

A cornered animal is dangerous, and will do anything it deems necessary to ensure its own survival. I don't disagree with you here, but there will come a reckoning about this and it won't be a fun time for most people. It may even come as early as the upcoming 2024 election.

Frankly? Yeah. The USA mostly fucking sucks these days. The American dream has become to move to Europe. We still have a chance to turn it around but that chance is being squandered.

How's Helldivers been? I was a big fan of the first game but I'm having trouble justifying the full price purchase with a lot of the reviews talking about crashes. I'll still probably end up buying it though.

Balatro. It's good. I love making cursed poker hands with aces that count as every suit and granite blocks and then racking my score multiplier up to 86x with stacked jokers. It's a fun game.

It's almost like the biggest and most complex information-transfer tool in human history can - surprise! - be used to transfer information.

Instead of magic weapons in the vault you just find 300 years of tax paperwork

Even the lich king doesn't want to throw down with the IRS

Is the implication here that Trump isn't losing his mind due to old age? Motherfucker have you heard him speak??

Remote aerator

And I heavily pressure all my friends and family with iphones to switch to android, all the time. Doesn't mean any of them do it.
