makes me think yo are the ttpe of perso who always says “Don’t protest like that!”.

That’s because that’s exactly what they just did.

“protests are good, but don’t protest like that and block me when I want a frappichino”

Why do you not respect boundaries?

The boundary being “keep your religious stuff away from me”

If my employer tried to tell me I’m only getting paid when I’m actively using the equipment instead of the whole time I setting up and transferring materials, I’d have to get in line to set the place on fire

If the government declares a strike illegal, or tries to in any way compel the employees to return to work, they are explicitly telling the workers that they are nothing more than indentured servants, barely more than slaves. You exist to make these people money, now sit down and shut up before we throw you in prison for upsetting your betters.

“Sorry, you aren’t your own group of people because you aren’t stable and democratic enough. Oh, the reason you aren’t stable enough? Not the issue, next question. Oh, the countries that aren’t democratic that we recognize? Not the issue. Stop asking terrorist questions.”

They said “stupid”, not “evil”

Although I’d argue that any billionaire not actively dumping the bulk of their wealth and influence to sort out world hunger, homelessness, and inequality is being evil.

Fuck it I’m buying it now.

Half life 2 was my first “I can’t wait to get home and play” game, despite having played so many games from basically 97 onward.

1 it was too expensive to move out and honestly without the added income I provided my parents would have lost their house on multiple occasions

2 I got one the fall after I graduated

3 this one took awhile

4 lol no. Never. Children are the worst. I should know, I used to be one.

The older people I know who vote Democrat complain all the time about how expensive everything is these days and nobody can afford anything.

The bullshit “Nobody wants to work” narrative is absolutely pushed by conservatives.

It seems like every time it goes on sale, I am either between contracts or just not able to justify the unnecessary expense.

Now that I have more stable employment it hasn’t gone on sale.

Honestly this by itself might be enough to make me pay full price.

I wonder how long it took, considering they wrote a script to convert the original transcription into PZ usable stuff.

10/10 mod, no pattern buffer for you.

Oh my god so much yes.

Make it chilly enough to wear an oversized hoodie and I will never leave.

To anyone who doesn’t want to watch videos, it’s a reference to “Beauty and The Beast”, specifically the intro where the entire town sings a song containing lines such as "look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, " “yes she’s strange, no question” and “what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle” (her name) the whole time she is walking around town, well within hearing distance.

You know those metal benches with metal arches for “arm rests” a lot of cities installed about a decade ago?

A lot of them use standard size bolts and Allen keys. No security, or maybe torx if anything.

Also an adjustable crescent wrench and multi-size Allen wrench tool fit nicely inside a pocket.

A cordless impact driver and associated bits fit in a small backpack as well.

What do those tidbits of info have in common?

Well that’s up to the reader.

TO BE CLEAR, in case anyone doesn’t understand, I am advocating for people to go out and disassemble anti-homeless architecture as a fuck you to the people who put it there. Being homeless is never a choice (not counting extreme outliers). Life is already shitting on them, denying them even a bench to sleep on for the night is just evil.

You can never get a word in edgewise when he’s around.

He was a union man.

The things I inherited from my grandpa are valuable.

0 chance I’d even consider selling them. I will be giving them away or willing them to people when I die/get older though.

“he who saves his country commits no crime”

Having worked in quite a few fields in the last 15 years or so, it’s the same active shooter training they give everyone. Even in stores that sell guns.

I’ll let the reader decide how fucked up it is that there’s basically a countrywide accepted “standard response”

So they’ll have to give her a job again. But then she won’t be homeless anymore.

I can confirm, having a job (or 3) does not provide a home.

you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build

That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?
