  • How hard would it be to trap gated communities by crashing dozens of cars into the front of their gates blocking them from leaving their gated communities ?

    Jump

  • An old buddy of mine commented once on the amount if minor havoc you could wreak with a handful of chain bike locks. Cheap, wrap around some door handles and lock, walk away. Yeah, somebody can bust out a bolt cutter, but for the amount of challenge to remove it, the low cost per use, and the speed of application, it's pretty impressive for minor mischief.

    Relatively harmless, too, as long as you aren't doing any additional nefarious shit. Might work for some gated community gates.

  • A brain transplant is one of those rare cases where you’d rather be the donor than the recipient.

  • The origin and story of Dogman is certainly dark.

  • Oh, man, kind and fast. Hands down. Every time.

  • Also pretty poor, with shitty health care coverage...am I getting warm?

    Jump

  • I don't? I don't think?

    I'm honestly pretty light on any emotion except anger. But I don't care enough to be anxious, and I'm pretty confident I'm not depressed. I'm reasonably unhappy about the state of the world (and my country), but I wouldn't equate that to depression.

  • You either die a hero, or live long enough to become a politician.

  • Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?

    Jump

  • My biggest gripe about it is that it should mean sacrificing a tenth (or a small portion) in order to preserve the whole.

    So many words that mean completely destroy, and we have to make the one meaning specifically not that to also mean completely destroy. The language is weaker for it.

  • What exactly is the reasoning behind Satan ruling Hell?

    Jump

  • So ultimately, the punishment for not believing is being destroyed? Like, oblivion?

    Shit, this sounds like a win. I have no interest in eternal existence, even supposedly "blissful" existence. I feel like anyone who thinks of eternity on more than a surface level would feel nothing but existential dread.

  • I thought they accidentally got rid of Black Friday with their anti-DEI measures?

  • My parents like Pete Hegseth. How is this possible?

  • The wars in the Middle East are tricky, though, because to have a "victory" you would need a clear metric for it, a clear goal. It's not like the US was looking to conquer and annex those countries

    If the goal was to completely fuck up a country with little to no (physical, not financial) damage to our home country, mission accomplished, one helluva victory.

    If the goal was to stop Terrorism... that's like the War on Drugs, there's no winning that.

    If the goal was merely to occupy them in order to (temporarily) prevent them from being a staging ground and financial support for Terrorism... I guess that worked? For awhile?

    Vietnam and Korea were about stopping Communists from taking over the country. Huge failure on Vietnam, and apparently a draw in Korea (considering the North/South divide). But it was a clear enough goal. The Middle East? Who knows what the specific goal was (other than trillions of dollars to the Military Industrial Complex).

  • Honest answer, as someone in the military:

    A LOT of military people lament how "soft" the military has become, and someone coming down on beards, fat, etc, as well as being up front with what the military is for (e.g. Department of War), scratches a whiny itch they've always had. Because every old salty sailor and sandy equivalent feels like they came from the Old Guard.

    I came from the Old Guard that my peers are nostalgic about. It was terrible and unnecessarily cruel. It was inefficient and left new people floundering instead of supported. The whole thing feels like a cycle of abuse.

    But back to the point, they don't care if he's underqualified, makes bad and inexperienced military decisions, or has a host of DUIs ("who doesn't?"). They only care that he's calling generals fat to their faces and getting rid of beard ememptions.

    1. Don't carry credit card debt. Save money if you can. Get a handle on basic finances

    Credit cards are this weird thing. If you need them, you shouldn't use them (if you can help it). If you make plenty of money and don't need them, they are a very useful financial tool. I have paid interest on one of my credit cards once in the past 3 years, and it was only to have extra available funds for buying a house. But I have accrued well over 100k airline miles and several hundred (far more than the interest I paid) in cash back. I use credit cards exclusively for everything but my mortgage, and have them set to automatically pay the statement balance prior to the due date. If you aren't extremely confident you can do that, you should avoid credit cards.

    I definitely ran afoul of credit cards in my youth, so the banks have gotten their pound of flesh from me.

  • What Graham Platner Said When a Trans Mainer Asked: 'Will You Stand Up for Me?'

    Jump

  • Wow, people are really pulling the last bit out of context and assuming the worst implications. His "stand by you" and "knocking on doors" thing is him acknowledging his white male privilege to feel safe doing things like going door to door in most neighborhoods, and being happy to extend that safety to others by standing beside them while they do it.

    I get the concern about having a Nazi tattoo for over a decade, and concern that everything he is doing is performative based on his past. But what he said was pretty unequivically that he will support LGBTQ+ people, including in action. Whether anyone believes him or not is up to them. But what he said was not mealy-mouthed, it was direct.

  • If you could give a dead actor one more movie, made at any point in their career, what would it be?

    Jump

  • I talked so much shit about Heath Ledger playing the Joker before that movie came out. The pretty boy from "10 Things I Hate About You?" Ridiculous. Just getting a big name, you know? And then he was beyond incredible, and a perfect example of what the Joker should be.

    That made me hold my tongue when so many questionable choices for actors came out in the future, like both Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson for Batman.

    Turns out Ledger was just an anomaly, though. So I'm still not going to be watching Tron: Ares.

  • What's your pet name for your SO, and vice versa?

  • "Good morning to you, Mrs. Riots."

    "Good morning to you as well, Mr. Riots. Did you sleep well?"

    "Indeed, Mrs. Riots, I did. How did your evening fare?"

    "Quite well, Mr. Riots. Quite well, thank you."

  • Whether this was deliberate or not, it's still pretty funny.

    I take it back, if it wasn't deliberate it would be especially funny.

  • The second one sort of depends on the player. I've had a few players that have made absolutely ridiculous characters but played them very well and it was a good experience.

    You mean like the Legend of Poop McDinglefart?

  • Also middle schoolers are awful. My wife and I kept telling my daughter through Elementary that Middle School age kids are the worst, because they have gotten smart enough to really hurt you (emotionally and physically), but haven't developed the restraint or understanding consequences yet.

    She just got into 6th grade and came home crying from some fucked up shit some kids were spreading about her, and she was just baffled by it. We were like "yeah, see, this is what we were talking about. It will get better. Let's have ice cream."

  • Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations?

  • That fuckin moose, man. I'm a dad, and that shit killed me.

  • They still play DD and recommended being a DM to people that think they want kids. Apparently there is a fair bit of overlap in running a fun game, and a functional family.

    I am a parent, and this tells me I lack the requisite energy and creativity to be a DM. I struggle enough as it is.
