Don’t forget both Death Jr games! Absolute fucking bangers!
- Comment on My brother has or had now a drinking problem. Now he is asking for the worst tasting crap that he can take a cap full like an airplance bottle so his body whenever he thinks about it will remember 6 days ago:
I think the premise is to drink a capful of foul liquid like say Castor Oil (so says cartoons, never had it myself) whenever he gets the urge to drink, to associate them in his mind and help him quit. Tbf he didn’t invent the technique, it’s old as sin, and it has worked for some people.
- Comment on The "unhackable" Xbox One has been hacked — and Microsoft can’t patch it 1 week ago:
Well Rare Replay includes a few games in it that imo are fucking classics like Conker (but the best version is Live and Reloaded), Ghoulies, Battletoads, Banjo, Viva Pinata, but most of those are available on pc by other methods afaik, just not bundled with “Rare Replay” (which means Conker is better emulated on the xbox OG, because bot battles Squirrel v Bear.

- Comment on Boxelder bugs are relentless lil critters 2 weeks ago:
Naw, definitely not. They’re almost leaf bug shaped but flatter, less long than a boxelder, black, and a couple red stripes.
Kissing bugs like that one above are longer like the boxelders and still the wrong non-B-2-Bomber shape, too many red stripes in the wrong pattern, and I’m still unclear on their propensity to jump into a short flight like a chicken with pneumatic legs.

Same, but school playground. Do they turn into the jumpy/flying guys of the same color? I suppose I can look that up since I now know the name of them thanks to this post… lol.

Downvoted but correct, they used to admit it before the exodus, but after the exodus they started denying it to seem more “general” in an attempt to appeal to everyone that isn’t stupid as shit.

Well we killed a lot of them but we did also do that whole Operation Paperclip thing for sure I can’t deny that.

It’s the same guy using it every time, dude needs to learn some new words.
- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 3 weeks ago:
I can answer part of this:
Are we only looking at formal complaints or are we including accusations that are only spread socially?
All of these types of studies only look at formal complaints, which in a way makes sense because they’re the only ones that are even close to verifiable, and I have no idea how you’d reliably collect info on social-only accusations, good luck! But it does paint an incomplete picture.

But it also does absolutely nothing to fight the ideas themselves, and they can metastasise in others. Like killing say a leader of Iran and then his kid takes over, ain’t shit changed.
“We fought a war about it last time,” yeah and we won, which is why there are no nazis now right? Right?
Unfortunately the only way to pull these people out of the fire would be to actually treat them like people, and actually educate them properly. But that’s hard and saying KILL EM is much easier.
- Comment on 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research 3 weeks ago:
Tbf that’s lies that make it to court, I’ve been lied about and had friends also be lied about, but the girls (we were all kids at the time) didn’t take it to court, they just tried to assassinate our character and get us shunned for life by everyone we knew without involving the system that would make them prove anything.
Thankfully in my case I had witnesses and in my buddy’s he had an alibi, but still, it’s a pretty rude thing to lie about. But I think most of the lies shake out like that, they usually don’t get reported to the actual authorities, just circulated like a rumor.
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 3 weeks ago:
Doesn’t that depend on google play services? If so, “probably not, but then again it works currently if you install play services on a separate user profile (or on your main, defeating the purpose of grapheneOS to begin with but more power to you).”
Tell google/banks to stop requiring the spyware, they won’t but at least it’s better then telling the secure OS to install just a little spyware just so you don’t need to carry a wallet.

- Comment on Ultra rare floppy disk game twisted and slashed into shards by US Customs or DHL checkers — ruined Tsukihime 1999 demo was one of only 50 ever produced 4 weeks ago:
Ok but here’s the thing, you don’t access the data of a floppy by opening it like an oyster, so if he thought it was CP then he just purposefully helped destroy evidence and cover it up for the perpetrator.
The standard process is “check data, if CP, controlled delivery, arrest recipient.” They do that already both for CP and drugs shipped through the mail when found, at the least they seize it and send you a “love letter” saying " come pick up your drugs" which obviously you ignore.
And you can also pull the little window back and look in and go “yup, them’s is floppy guts” and let it snap closed, verifying it visually. That is assuming the child officer has ever seen a floppy but still, he’d more likely have seen a floppy than a mini cd, nobody used those even when they were contemporary.

Well then you’re losing a lot of support by killing the bystanders (not yours lol but y’know normal people with a conscience might not like it as evidenced by common perception of said IRA’s actions) and a lot would have to go right for that (how close is he to the fence, is there a stage, can your sedan make it through all the bodies in between you and him, can his security take you out before you get him, he’s a moving target so will he see the carnage and stand still or more likely will he run, will you be able to find him in a panicked crowd, etc). If the goal is to be an anti-hero it’s best to avoid that and be extremely targeted with your violence. Luigi wouldn’t be nearly as popular if he had happened to shoot some random witness for example.
For some cults you can actually do that, but like, there’s still Branch Davidians, mixing cults and Christianity is a very powerful tool. Just look at Mormons, cult - check, christian elements - check, one of the most powerful religions in the states. Some don’t even need Christianity, see: Scientology. You kill David Muscavich today and another takes his place tomorrow, and you’re not going to be able to kill all of them even if you are fine with killing their victims too due to some warped sense of justice.

Thing about schools though is they’re less guarded than rich dudes (1-2 cops max ime, meanwhile rich dudes have generally 2-3+ but also of course the rich guy has less square feet to cover than a school, the school cops can’t be everywhere, and the rich security only has to watch him). Furthermore the school cops are uniformed, you can just start with them while they’re not looking and now you have at least 5min before more cops even get there, then however long it takes them to “establish a perimeter” and then go in, which could be 7 min or it could be, what was it in Uvalde, 2hr?
Megachurch leaders are for sure more accessible, but you can’t actually fight them that way, by making Pastor Steve a martyr, all you do is let his successor Pastor Mike use it as fodder while taking his congregation. You have to fight them by helping the followers themselves, which is tough (especially since people seem to actually hate the followers instead of recognizing them as victims who were vulnerable being taken in by a charlatan.)

School shooters are largely children, for whom it is much easier to steal daddy/mommy’s gun and go to school than it is to:
- steal the gun
- pick a cromulent target
- acquire info about the target
- actually travel to wherever he is
- get past the probable armed guards
- get close enough with the gun to kill the guy
Like it’s not impossible, almost nobody is completely untouchable, but one is clearly easier than the other. I mean like you’re not wrong, but good luck with that, it’s not likely.
- Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media 4 weeks ago:
A system of organization would be invented. Idk maybe a wooden stepped board with USB sized holes that you store/display your collection in, just to use the first idea I pull directly from ass. Actually make it silicone for the grippy, already improving it, then sell the wood as a fancier one, and inlay a few with idk brass or something for a “pro” version, boom marketing.

Tbh I don’t even mind cameras that much if they were entirely controlled by the individuals themselves. I have a much bigger issue with it when you’re streaming my facial recognition data to Evil Megacorp 2™ servers that also feed directly to the “Not Spying… Again” agency, though.

Tbf they could try and sell useful things for a change, that might shake things up a bit.
Though I will say, the pockets on Levi’s are sufficiently deep (to completely ignore the metaphor), not JNCO deep, but I can carry my various mesh radios, phones, flipper zeros, pens, coins, eyedrops, knives, flashlights, airpods, wallets, and mace all at the same time. Just about the only things they don’t fit are spray cans and guns, but that’s why JNCOs existed (the cans) and why holsters exist.
