I feel like you're being deliberately obtuse, or just trying to be adversarial for the sake of it. His point is that what was going on in the asshole's head was that he was stopping an active shooter situation. He thought that because he was a moron. Had he not had a gun, the moron couldn't have murdered people.

There's always going to morons, so the problem here is that he was allowed to have a gun. Unless your position is that morons should be euthanized, then you must agree that the solution is gun control, or that morons murdering indiscriminately is 👍

Context is king. Yes, anything can be said sarcastically. But when a child shares their candy with another child and 7 people are like "Aww bless his heart!!" It's not fucking code. The fact that it's usually used as a compliment is exactly what makes it so cutting as a sarcastic insult.

What the fuck?!

You don't want to be a speaker at a librarian convention though. 500 people shushing you.

They don't care if you're under 16. They have to ask if they want to collect and sell your data. This is a big red sign that says "WE'RE WATCHING EVERYTHING THAT GOES THROUGH YOUR NETWORK AND SELLING IT TO WHOEVER WILL PAY US!"

There are two and only two things that makes Epic Games a pariah.

(1)Exclusive content on PC should be shunned so hard that it's not even a fucking option. You can explain away exclusively on PS3 because of its unique hardware, but it's just a naked monopolistic power grab on PC.

(2) Epic game store sucks on every level. It's a pigs 3 week old rotting corpse compared to Valve's packaged ham.

Yeah, but Valve doesn't really give a shit if it's abused. Steam is a solitary positive example of the weird "(mostly)benevolent monopoly" idea. GabeN owns the company, there aren't any shareholders to appease, so as long as he's alive steam will be solid. I hope he has a successor picked out that can uphold his ideals.

Not in Arizona. You don't even have to live there, just have to file there.

There's at least 10 states with no annual fee. Arizona is $50 to file, $0 annual fees, and no annual report to file.

If you'd prefer your company to have voting rights, you can file in Rhode Island, and your company can vote in local and state elections without ever stepping foot in the state. Hooray late stage capitalism 😞

That's a "game" that my friends play, player 1 plays 3 songs with a vibe, player 2 attempts to continue the vibe in their own library, etc...

It's a pretty fun background activity. The vibe always shifts slowly from player to player.

I remember leaded gas too, from 15 seconds ago when a propeller plane flew over my house dumping lead out it's exhaust. They inexplicably are still allowed to use leaded gas in small aircraft. Even new planes are designed to only accept leaded cause it's all they have at the airports.

I'll tack on apple bananas. They're tiny and taste like an apple and a banana had babies.

good frying technique

Followed these instructions. I have started a grease fire.

It's an AMD Athlon!

Totally fine for gaming in 2024.

Shitposting related to military matters as far as I can tell.

That's not an insult as the internet has decided. It can be used sarcastically, but in my experience as a southerner it is more often a compliment for doing something nice.

Well not the state this happened in, so that seems irrelevant.

Liberals not voting is the problem with the US. We sure as fuck aren't getting national ranked choice voting out of the party of fascism. We aren't getting any Democrat favored legislation without a clear majority. Not a 'well the VP can be the tiebreaker in the senate if the 2 right leaning Democrats agree to it' majority. Not even a 'well as long as Joe Lieberman goes along we can break the filibuster' majority is good enough.

Republicans need to be made utterly unelectable before a left leaning party can be viable.

The last fatal plane crash of a US commercial aircraft was 15 years ago. Caused by pilot error, not mechanical failure.
