It’s not much different from a rape whistle I would guess

did you know that there’s a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it.

At first glance it says “dripping with excrement” so maybe someone left one of Goofy’s turds in the sun to get bleached.
- Comment on Rockstar baulks as a Charlie Kirk assassination mission is created in GTA Online, bans it and censors his name, but there's more out there 5 days ago:
JFK Reloaded was made to dispel conspiracy theories by simulating the assassination and grading each shot on how close it was to real life. The ballistics were advanced. It turns out it is a lot more fun to play when you shoot the drivers first, stopping the motorcade, and start shooting the sunglasses off the cops and the guns out of their hands. It’s no Sniper Elite but you can really pump JFK’s guts full of lead.
- Comment on Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage" 5 days ago:
That little shit is from Lake County. I’m only pointing this out to remind anyone thinking a waterside photo is projecting status. In Lake County there is more water than land at a 2:1 ratio so this is a poor man’s attempt to appear to be rich. You can’t piss in a yard in Lake County without it landing in one of the many lakes.
- Comment on 'Worst in Show' CES products include AI refrigerators, AI companions and AI doorbells 1 week ago:
I have a button for a doorbell at my door. Hasn’t worked since I moved in. If I wanted it to work and raise anxiety I would figure out how to make it spray water on whoever is at the door.
- Comment on That time Apple sent everyone a U2 album: 'I DONT WANT YOU.' 1 week ago:
- It showed up one day in your apple library
- You couldn’t delete or remove it
- The band’s stupid name stood out in any library due to it being short
- At the time you couldn’t get rid of the album. It sat there eating up memory space and the best you could do was disable the album from playing in shuffle.
- Thank you OP for reminding me about this. It took over a decade but I finally got that album out of a now empty music library on a device that sat unused in a drawer. At some point between then and now deleting the album from your library became easy. Back in the drawer it goes.

Shouldn’t the picture in the OP have GG Allin in it? Fighting and poo were what set him apart from most other well-adjusted and half well-adjusted bands.

I added a little context because in hindsight not everyone will recognize that quote.

Let me ask you this: a guy breaks into your house, but you don’t have a gun. How are you going to shoot him?
- Comment on The Trump phone just missed another release date 2 weeks ago:
I don’t speak a dialect of English that uses that word but context clues tell me “tatty” means “the shittiest barely functional one electron away from being a brick phone fractions of a penny can buy”.
- Comment on How come laptops or pc's don't have a "webcam" facing both ways instead of just the user? 2 weeks ago:
Why bring a laptop onto a filthy factory floor when the phone in your pocket does the same thing?
“Hey boss we got a problem. Yeah, let me just try to fit your laptop with two cameras I am calling you with in this tight and filthy space in a broken machine to show you. Just one seconzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZzzzzzZZZZZZZ”
… 2 minutes later a phone call:
“Yeah boss I fried another one of your expensive laptops with two cameras. Yeah coolant and chips dripped on the keyboard again. No I didnt smash it between the spindle and turret this time. It didn’t fall into the chip conveyor brimming with coolant, lube oil, chips, and swarf either. Anyway, your machine’s still fucked up and now your laptop is too. I will hang up my telephone you do not pay for and text you pictures or video now.”
Short of smashing it with the turret I’ve done all this to my phone that has 6 cameras. Shook and wiped the shit right off with a rag. A working machine most of the time looks exactly like a broken machine. If the boss can’t figure out what the problem is without it being a zoom call you’ve got a bigger tool problem outside the machine.
- Comment on U.S. Pedestrian Deaths Up 77% Since 2009 & The Auto Industry Knew It Would Happen 5 weeks ago:
What is the condition of your sidewalks? My sidewalks are uneven and a neighborhood grandma who I walk with still prefers the street even though my street is not well lit. Uneven sidewalks are a tripping hazard that can be avoided by walking in the street. Her vision isn’t great so a paved stretch of road is just easier to walk with a flashlight.

I picked it up thanks to this post. It’s like Pepsiman met Tony Hawk.

I want to GIT GUD but I’m not the kind of person who can dodge and parry while managing a stamina bar. ER and DS games look awesome but I really can’t do much sightseeing in them. I tried Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls 3, and Elden Ring and in all of them I hit a wall against the first miniboss who I should be learning to parry on. I’ve always leaned toward dodging taking priority before parrying and a stamina bar limits that.
I recently played through Ghost of Tsushima and parried a thousand cuts. The game doesn’t have stamina though. I understand stamina as a game mechanic but find all it adds is tedium. There’s what I believe to be some good games hiding behind a stamina bar. I can enjoy the games until the stamina bar runs out and then I’ll be thinking about enjoying a different game.

I live in a prefabricated home that is a different color than my neighbor’s. Can I gift them one of these robots to get a blueprint of their house? It is already easily googled but I feel that making a robot do it keeps them lower on the food chain.

- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 3 months ago:
Niggard/niggardly sounds like a really, really, awful choice for a word to describe someone cheap like Scrooge. It’s not a slur it just sounds way too much like one. The use of the word is controversial despite the only connection the two words share is how they sound.
I wouldn’t use the word around people though. Explaining how a word that sounds racist isn’t racist makes you appear to be more racist. It isn’t a slur but gets treated as if it was one.
✓ quite offensive ✓ not a slur X you probably still shouldn’t use it
