  • "You people are next" is a threat based on your own position of power. A politician saying that, yeah that's a threat. Some random person saying it someone else, not so much.

    If someone has a recording of an ex saying that to them over the phone, the best you're getting is a restraining order, if you get anything at all.

    Maybe if she said "I'm coming for you next", then that would have more weight. But now we're in hypothetical land, so who cares.

  • Yes, but the legal system does not act on the whims of mass adoption. It's like that mom in Florida who got slapped with terrorism charges for telling blue cross blue shield the deny, defend, depose line over the phone. The harsh crimes are there to chill anyone who might step out of line.

  • Not really, the apartment floorplan likely has the washer/dryer hookups in the same spot so they can keep the water lines and dryer exhaust together. Doesn't make much sense to have them all scattered about

  • You should try watching some clips where they strip the laugh track out. Those are pretty good.

    I think friends has comfort status. It's one of those shows people binge in the background like the office and parks and rec. I had a roommate who always had friends on while he played wow. I probably saw him hit season 1 four times.

  • There's some YouTube channel that adds "Official trailer" to their thumbnails and they mean "their official fan made trailer" and it's annoying and misleading. YouTube has a "don't suggest" option on channels but they need a block.

    Fan made trailers need like a [Parody] tag or something, imo

  • Elons two main businesses only exist because of government handouts. 7500 electric vehicle tax credit over 100,000s of cars is well into the billions. With how close Tesla came to insolvency, the ability to reach more customers surely saved Tesla.

    And spaceX (and more money for starlink) he has got billions more directly and is slated to receive even more even though SpaceX has missed deadlines over and over and the goal of propping up SpaceX was so we could have a cheaper option than Russia to getting people to the ISS is now not even on the table.

    What's the over/under twitter gets government subsidies with some paper thin argument like "it's the public square of the Internet, so it's basically a park, and since we get 10x the yearly visitors than the grand canyon, we deserve 10x it's budget to help maintain our "free speech" park"

  • Well, just picking Kamala was probably a better choice than having a contested open primary for 3 weeks leading up to the convention. People couldn't even vote on that primary, it would just be a vibe check the superdelegates decided on.

  • The DOJ, through the FBI informants who communicated with Philippi for months, outlined the rough details of Philippi's alleged plan, which it said was motivated by racial hatred. According to the DOJ, Philippi was connected with several white-supremacist groups

    The FBI seemed to think he was connected with white supremacists, so I would imagine he's pro Trump. Seems a bit of a stretch for a white supremacist to vote for a non white candidate.

  • The spinning barrel at the end can be solved by jumping on it and holding Up or Down to match the direction of the barrel. It will make the bounce distance enormous enough to hop off on the down swing.

    For example, you jump on the barrel and it naturally goes down, so you hold down. It will go down 20 pixels. As it starts to go back up, you hold up (no need to jump or anything) and it will go up 40 pixels. On the way down you hold down and it will go down 80 pixels. Repeat until the bounce goes so far down you hop off below with ease.

    The numbers are made up, but the process is correct.

  • The only thing I would add is that with the electoral system, it's not the candidate with the most electoral votes that win, it's the candidate who gets half+1 votes (270 or more currently)

    If candidate A wins 250 votes, candidate B wins 200 votes and candidate C wins 88 votes, candidate A does not win. If there is no winner, the house of representatives votes for president, each state getting one vote.

    Another reason why third party presidential candidates are never serious contenders.

  • It's actually more insidious. Blizzard facilitates gold buying by being a middle man. 30 days of wow subscription is $15. Blizzard sells a $20 wow token. Buyers of the token automatically sell it in game to players for gold. Players who sell their In game gold can redeem the token for game time or $15 Blizzard bucks, which can buy any virtual item in the Blizzard store. Games, expansions, and mounts such as this.

    If you don't want to spend $90 in real life, you can sell your gold for 6 tokens for $90 Blizzard bucks and get the mount.

    The token has been hovering around $170k all month and now it spiked to almost $360k (token price tracker). So now cash buyers can get way more gold for their bucks, and the 6 tokens exchanged for gold (to buy the mount) will net Blizzard $120.

  • Isn't it normally code to have a fence around a pool? So even if he had a medical episode while riding a lawnmower, surely a fence would have stopped the mower.

    I have to imagine that he refused to have a fence around his pool because big government can't tell him what to do, so perhaps this death is from hubris.
