Please do not perceive me.
Well this particular guy was entrapped and arrested on false pretenses. He didn’t know ICE was at the door.
Otherwise, though, yeah agreed. If masked assailants come to my home with no badge and no warrant they are going to be considered home invaders and will be treated accordingly. Identify yourself or you will be shot.
Because they’re still literally not doing their jobs.
As an example, let’s say I flip burgers for a living. You come in to my restaurant and order a cheeseburger. I then proceed to slap a hunk of raw ground beef and a slice of cheese down right on the counter in front of you. That’ll be $8.50, pay up.
You aren’t going to say “that’s progress!” you’re going to say “that’s not a fucking cheeseburger”.
Same here. Yeah, it is progress forward from the literal nothing that they were doing before. It still is not satisfactory progress that satisfies the basic job requirements of their chosen career.
On our left hand we have a party who, while generally spineless in the face of opposition, at least understands the general principles of governance and has an interest in continuing the lifespan of the country.
On our right hand we have a party aggressively campaigning that they should be allowed to shoot you in the face. Yes, you, personally.
I hope you have the day you vote for.

Man I really want to get into Mechwarrior but I’m just so ridiculously bad at the game and I have no idea how to get better.
I’ve tried to begin the MW5 campaign three times now and I’ve been priced out of existing every time, I take way too much damage and my repair bills vastly outstrip my income. Combine with having to spend hundreds of thousands of credits in travel fees to get anywhere and I’m very quickly even more broke than I started.
Just for kicks the other day I set up an Instant Action for testing purposes and I brought two Atlases, a Highlander and an Archer to some random backwater mid-difficulty mission and still barely limped out of there alive, with the Highlander and one of the Atlases downed. That’s just shameful.
If I spend a fiver on a game and it entertains me for two nights I still consider that fine value to entertainment ratio. If I went out somewhere in real life with the boys I’d be spending a minimum of $50 and that’s for a single night out. So I buy a lot of indie games in the $5-10 range without much guilt over it. Weird single-dev projects with pixel art and a 5 year span in early access are my favorite kind of art.
Now if you’re asking me more than about $20 for your game then yeah the quality control checklist comes out. But my standards are much lower for the $10-tier and I’ve found some really good games in that tier. Not ones that I’m still playing, maybe, but ones that I had a good time with for a few days to a few weeks and that I remember fondly.
Moonring is another free game who had to add a $5 megadungeon DLC after being harassed by fans for months to give them a way to support the game monetarily
What I don’t get, personally, is how this one scratched-in groove wave can contain a bassline, a melody and a singing voice and they all can be differentiated coming out of the speaker.
How speakers work in general is just black magic to me, actually.
I don’t think he ever had much of a chance to be anything else, given who he was raised by.
Frank himself (or at least his authors) agree.
I like your funny words, magic man
They have never been affected by conditions that lead to poverty and it shows.
But if you go somewhere like Idaho or Mississippi… They’re all fucking poor!! Everyone is poor! Everyone lives hand to mouth and depends on social safety nets like this. But if you’re proper homeless then fuck you, no you don’t deserve any help?
Blows my mind how entire self contained societies can all equally experience this kind of hardship and then instead of “I don’t want anyone else to suffer like we had to”, they instead conclude “I had to suffer like this, therefore everyone must suffer like this”.
Fuck that, when I bought Chrono Trigger for the SNES, I owned that game. I still own that game. Nintendo has not broken into my home to rescind my license to a physical cartridge that I purchased.
It’s a lost identity, is what it is. American conservatives will give you 4 different definitions of what conservatism is supposed to be, and leftists will give you an additional 6 more.
What it’s supposed to be is a political counter to the progressivism of the left. Lefties push progressive rhetoric and the conservatives keep them in check to prevent them from blowing up the economy.
Except, in practice, we haven’t had a conservative leader that actually knows the value of a dollar bill in (at least) over a century, even prior to that it was primarily the political party of “I want to keep slaves and I’m not going to let you stop me”, and in the modern day it’s been entirely co-opted by the Christian Church and its tireless quest to completely enslave every human being on the planet.
Get organized at the local level, create food pantries for affected workers, and pool money together for bills. The fact that we are so divided as a country that a mere thought of a community is seen as “communism.”
… With what food and money? Serious question, I’m not trying to be an ass. If nobody has enough of their own savings, nobody is working because we’re on strike, where are we getting this food and money with which to maintain our community?
I’m open to this idea, but myself and most everyone else in my local community are afraid for their lives and livelihoods. It would take us roughly around 3-6 weeks to become so resource starved that we either die, or return to laboring under probably a worse deal than we left in the first place. Six weeks of no income isn’t even going to make a noticeable dent in the pocketbook of the Starbucks CEO.
