  • That's what it said on the tin, but how many times has that happened lately? Clearly isn't not an impeachable offense.

  • Yes, but they're also right, Bisney would just make it palps again...

  • I don't believe having an affair is illegal, only got impeached for it as a moral high ground. Child rape on the other hand...

  • To add to this, there's the cost trade. To use one of these 0days as a resource means the result needs to be equal to or more than the cost of using this. If it cost my opponent $3 to cause a problem, and it costs me $6 to fix it, my opponent effectively profited off of that exchange. I can't think of a single journalist since Watergate that could cost the government enough money to be worth paying for this kind of removal when it's far cheaper to have them murdered let them die peacefully in their sleep from bullet inhalation. Not to mention that it shows their hand if they so it publicly and makes future targets harder to hit.

    You and I will never be worth the kind of money that currently takes, but if they get an official back door installed the cost goes down so far that it would literally never be a loss.

  • 4&5. I already have the perfect partner so 1 is out. Body swap loses that partner, so 8 is out. Everything else here is just free money with extra steps and my disdain for paying for things isn't so great that I'd limit my options to avoid actually seeing the bill. 20mil initial investments and 30k monthly income while the rest goes to more investments.

    Now, that's 360,000 personal and 11,640,000 investment annually. With this money being obtained presumably through magic, I would not need to dedicate time to making it. With the allotted free time, I would purchase or establish an independent bank to store my income as well as a small investing firm to manage my wealth. They would be personally vetted, paid handsomely, and I would dedicate time to accommodate their needs and engage with them. They're not my servants, they're literally the people making this work.

    With this established, I would first buy up large swaths of the entertainment industry in rural areas across the US. Bowling allies, movie theatres, pools, gyms, things like that as well as at least one advertising and PR firm. These become socialized. Free access for anyone under 20, memberships are income based sliding scales. Employees are paid fair marker value. I will also broker deals with aldi to begin putting stores in every population bigger than 2k. These ventures are subsidized by my own magic money and dividends from my investments.

    After effectively white washing my image with philanthropy for the first 5 years, I will retain a retinue of private mercinaries recruited from military and paramilitary bodies based on their commitment to my cause and picked for a complex mix of loyalty and willingness to do awful things for a good reason. Through a combination of bribery lobbying and the liberal application of men with violence, I will begin to curate government policy. Incentivizing the nationalization of businesses too big to fail, utilities, and infrastructural maintenance needs. Using my network of entertainment venues I will away public opinion in the support of this and candidates I approve of through the application of advertising and psychological warfare techniques.

    At year 10, I will begin orchestrating the removal of the wealthy elite. Most live lavish and reckless lifestyles and accidents happen. The key point here is that you can't buy a billionaire but you can buy their dealer and I'm sure he's not getting paid as much as my bowling alley attendants make. With the pool of competing interests dwindling, I will return to step 1 and continue my efforts to effectively make fun free.

    And this is why I'm not allowed to have money.

  • It's because we're not a group, we're the defendants of two rivsl factions that flooded the state during its inception in order to swing the vote in whether or not we'd be a slave state. It's so insanely polarized here that you can't drive two blocks without seeing both extremes.

  • If they're in the same sarlacc, maybe Boba only managed it because the sarlacc was currently weakened by the psychic battle with the sith lord. Who in turn capitalizes on the distraction caused by Boba to then escape himself.

  • Genuinely considered Boba Fett's escape being the catalyst that sets the guy free. Could even retcon in that the only reason either worked was because of the other. Boba fett's bombs could only weaken it because of the psychic battle it was already in, sith guy won the psychic battle because the sarlacc was distracted by the bombs.

    Could even capitalize on book of Boba fett by having fett play a reluctant hero role for the new cast, informing them of the sith guy's plans because they were both connected through the sarlacc so there was some bleed over.

  • More so than you'd probably think. 4-chan is the vat that the current wave of fascism gestated in.

  • I was just thinking, this is not the first image like this I've seen and I'd really like to know the context I'm missing.

  • Impossibly ancient sith Lord spending millennia using the force to escape a sarlacc and arriving just as the empire falls and the new republic is trying to start would have been so much better than "somehow... Palpatine returned"

  • Works for me my dude! I use the same username on every platform, hit me up on stoat, @tuta.com for email, or discord until March 1st.

  • Hey if you're interested in trying stoat then matrix, playing Minecraft, or building a secret organization with the key tenants of "be a good person and be weird and silly" you should hit me up! I'm literally looking for friends.

  • You know what, I'll bite.

    I'm honestly pretty bummed out. With the recent changes to Discord I've decided enough is enough and I'm dropping it. Unfortunately my entire social life is currently on discord as life and distance make it hard to meet up. When I broached making a group somewhere else, the general consensus was that keeping in touch or potentially gaming together wasn't enough to be worth it. One of my oldest friends it's also dropping discord but will not be joining another platform with me. We'd been distant since I got married and this very much feels like his effort to officially cut ties.

    So here I am, in my early 30's and again facing the disillusion of my social circle. Something I've gone through on 4 previous occasions and each time it gets harder to start new because more people have either already established their group or committed to not having one.

    I really want to be part of a community, but where am I supposed to meet people with interests like mine when the baseline for people into niche hobbies, diy, secret societies, goblincore, and all my other interests is that they're cronically anti-social and only care to exist online?

    I'd totally be the guy maintaining the group matrix, hosting our streaming server, putting out weekly news letters, getting people together to play magic in weird venues, scouting out hole in the wall restaurants. I live for things like that but what's the point of it if the only friend I have is my spouse who I can just talk to when I do the thing? You can't play a curated cards against humanity set or custom fallout themed catan with two people.

    How do you make friends?

  • It would be if it weren't for the edit, that almost makes it funny.

  • I could not for the life of me get wabbajack to work, but I did get steam tinker launcher to work out of the box and used nexus to put together asking related to LotDB

  • For me I respond to stress with object blindness. If I can't immediately fix something my mind Will literally redact it away to the point that inconveniently places boxes on the floor will be stepped over for weeks until I eventually trip on it and it becomes relevant again.

  • Absolutely the same. I grew up in a messy and unregulated environment and the first coping skill I learned was object blindness. If it causes distress and I can't fix it immediately, my mind simply refuses to acknowledge it from that point on which is a point of contention in the house because it leads to me simply ignoring a lot of things.

  • Not always, but frequently. Depending on how sticky I get.
