I was ranked in the top 10 for pistol kills in modern warfare 3 for over a year and a half.

Then I lost interest in fps games for a few months. Tried to come back and play with some friends, and completely sucked ass.

Smeagol/Gollum wasn’t quite a hobbit, according to Tolkien.

So either way, no evil hobbits.

Even Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.

Flour + water = hardtack

clack clack

To me it’s felt more like “look at me I’m so unique”

Nobody even got RIPPED, so I have no idea who won here.

“THIS IS THE FUTURE UNDER SOCIALISM!!!”

literally a picture of the current world under capitalism, usually in the same country or one of similar quality of living

Having ridden in Ye Olde Wagons before, this is actually what you should do.

Get out, unload whatever weight you can, and make the wagon as light as possible, then you try to get it out by unburying the wheels and putting something hard for them to roll on.

we had 2x10 boards (and a few small 2x4 chunks) in the wagon and shovels, as the route we were using was through cow pastures and corn fields.

USA resident here, honestly even if we flip every R seat to a D (and hopefully some Is and some new party letter further left than D?) I still say keep your distance, clearly we can’t be trusted not to go insane every 4 years.

Having a grimy, fingered little brother is always fun.

Look, he may be grimy, but kink shaming isn’t cool. He can be fingered whenever he feels like it.

Oh look, a convincing argument for murder!

It really reads like the homeowner was one of those “I hope someone breaks in so I can legally murder them” kinds of gun owners. maybe they no idea what they were even shooting at, but I’m willing to bet they looked out the window and thought “brown skin, must be gangs fox was right”

I will happily ignore people knocking on my door until they go away. Trying the door knob will certainly get my attention but just to yell at you, not enough to grab a gun.

I’m a big fan of the “turn all lights on, make as much noise as possible and yell to whoever is in your house you ‘have a gun and know how go use it so get the fuck out’” approach.

Nobody who is breaking in to steal stuff wants to kill you (probably) and knowing they have a chance of getting shot themselves from an occupant they didn’t expect is a huge motivator for them to get the fuck out.

If their motivation isn’t to steal, and is in fact to harm you, then you have lost nothing by doing this. They already expect you to be there and want to hurt you, so do what you have to.

I’m being cautious enough to not shoot my roommate who got home from their trip two days early, my friend who drunkenly stumbled in after his phone died at the pub, my neighbor who needs help but can’t articulate it, or a random stranger who mistakenly walked into the wrong house (this one has happened to me at least 10 times in my life, mostly when living in apartments).

If that ends up getting me shot at by randos there to kidnap me, so be it. I’m prepared to defend myself and my loved ones. The property they can have, but if anyone comes up the stairs they’re toast.

My point is there should never be a time when you jump out at someone and kill them simply because they are there.

Besides, one of the primary rules of firearm safety is “know your target and what’s behind it” and if you don’t know the person you’re shooting at isn’t there for benign purposes, you don’t know your target.

This is manslaughter at best but I’m willing to hear any argument for straight up murder.

It’s been very telling this week at work.

I live in a very red area and work in a majority red industry. I hear people talking shit about “the libs” all day. I hear tons of coworkers talking shit about anyone on government assistance because the “welfare queens just want free stuff with no work”

It seems that just under 3/4 of the people I work with were getting SNAP benefits.

A box has been set up in the break room so people can bring in food, and others can take what they need.

The shit talking has stopped, at least. No jokes about “welfare queens” anymore.

On one hand, I have adhd and depression, and my parents definitely have at least depression. So I’m used to messes everywhere up to and including not seeing the floor for a week or more at a time.

On the other hand, I feel bad when someone gets in my car and I have to move one or two items off the seat.

go fuck a duck

Poor duck…

On one hand, I have a coworker who clearly angrily scraped his trump stickers off the tailgate, and on the other, I have a coworker who straight up held a nazi salute with an audible “heil” when he started talking about his favorite band, Rammstein.

Now I don’t know anything about Rammstein and their political views in general, but I’ve known a few Germans in my time and they all held very strong (negative) views on the nazi regime.

Most coworkers have stopped talking about politics and such in general during breaks though.

“UNITED STATES PLANS TO START BOMBING MEXICO”

Fixed the headline.

I propose taking that 1k, measuring against the average income of anyone who makes under 1M, and use that percentage of cost of living to fine the company appropriately.

Example: 1k fine for someone who makes 10k/yr, that 1k is 10% of their yearly income, whereas a company that makes 10,000,000,000/yr, that’s only 0.0001%

When it’s time for money: COMPANIES ARE PEOPLE TOO!

When it’s time for punishment: but you can’t hold a company responsible, it’s not just one person.

Turns out “market forces” was just the heavy metal poisoning talking, they were just hallucinating magical economics.

Lead in gasoline and household products really fucked with some generations, hard.
