I was going to say that “stand your ground” laws shouldn’t exist when so many people are terrified of shadows.

But that’s it isn’t it? If they’re terrified of shadows then a gun and a power fantasy is the answer.

Didn’t want to discipline officers, “They took too long to bring charges.”

But also the police hid evidence for more than a year.

When Republicans decide to have 4th of July at this judge’s house then I’ll believe he’s a dictator.

Sovcits + consumerism == Pirating isn’t stealing because this word here has a certain definition, which invokes this special rule that lets me do what I want.

“perhaps he was always like that”

I don’t know what to think of that. “This guy is crazy, the idea of him winning scares me. Maybe he was always like this.”

Wouldn’t you know, though!? How is someone absolutely nuts and unstable to the point it kinda freaks you out, and you’re hedging that shit?

Are they trying to say they’re still about the shittiness and Trump just isn’t fetch anymore? Or now that the ride is over its going to be a “That wasn’t me” kind of thing? Because both sound like biding their time.

The special forces test was hard.

For the written test. there’s parts where you would be shown a helicopter for 100 milliseconds then have to remember the configuration, number of rotors, ordinance… Or you see a tank for a split second and have to correctly identify the barrel measurements and other little details.

The stealth mission was difficult too. I managed to be a medic and a ranger but not special forces.

DOOM, 1993. Finally went through and beat it. Also recently sat down and learned how to edit wads as well as picking up ACS for advanced map scripting. Still a great game.

Ganondorf wasn’t developed that much and was kinda just tyranny, death, and despair from what I remember, but I liked the idea of a villain that won and now it was the hero that had to destroy the current world and make something new.

Link because his storyline in oot and mm is insane.

Also, shout out to the music box guy related to the song of storms. Iconic.

You use an ITIN and pay taxes. It’s the law that you need to pay taxes whether you’re here legally or not, which means we specifically create pathways for people who are here illegally to pay their fair share. Illegal immigrants pay taxes as one of the ways of building social credit for when they can naturalize.

I saw it described as being closely related to their identity in the context of… well, their culture war mentality.

1: The military for all it’s power, but without the parts where you conform to a basic GI look or instill certain character. Camo, webbing, guns, but not professionalism, work ethic, discipline, strict hierarchial conformity, or adherence to real military values. (Just the violent power.)

2: Pop culture mercenary idols. A few guys have went off to war, came back, wrote this, podcasted that, and turned into mythical personalities. They look different than normal soldiers. They have beards and wear casual attire mixed with military gear. Joe Rogans with military experience. (They like the idea of being above the law because they’re different.)

3: The soldiers who fought to preserve slavery. The good ol’ boys. Fightin’ for the cause. To keep whites on top. The scraggly beards, the woodsmen aesthetic, rugged men fighting the good fight. (They want their fight to have never ended.)

You end up with a dudes dressed like a soldier, but not groomed as one, with very specific casual attire and tacticool accessories thrown on top.

“All I can say is that if I’m elected President, we will pursue Election Fraudsters at levels never seen before, and they will be sent to prison for long periods of time,” Trump wrote. “We already know who you are. DON’T DO IT! ZUCKERBUCKS, be careful!”

At the very least, even if Zuck isn’t the best example, it’s worth considering that the further conservatives descend into fascism, the more we’ll see people take the easier option of not resisting.

I don’t know what kind of VST this is, but I bet it sounds cool.

We embedded third party auditors in that crypto exchange so I’m curious exactly how inscrutable tiktok really are.

I mean the accusations are that they’re too beyond oversight and we can’t confidently audit the data, so giving us a button to stop them when we can’t see what they’re doing would be a joke. But I’m skeptical that it’s as difficult to lock down their data as we make it seem.

Tiktok offered us the ability to shut them down? To avoid being shut down. By us. Woe to the vanquished I guess.

That’s what I said. Free licenses are for free software, while copyleft is for “free software.” Copyleft is because corporations like Xerox will act in bad faith, etc. Free licenses are for free software. Copyleft is for Free Software, The Movement. People aren’t cucks for not deigning to make every piece of code they write part of some statement.

Permissive licenses are truer to the spirit of free software but copyleft, while kind of a copout, seems more pragmatic due to corporations. I wouldn’t avoid copyleft licensing on principle or anything but it feels incongruous to want to make something freely available to all but then nitpick over how they use it.
