Unfortunately, absent unbiased funding, news companies are just being bought and controlled. At this point, we need third-party unbiased aggregators to figure out what the actual news was between what each side reports and omits. But, the third-party aggregators also need money to keep going… hopefully, they won’t also be bought and biased at some point…

Man, where are their pretend enemies going to secretely hide next? Any schools left standing?

Real life shouldn’t mimic any part of cartoons really, but especially not the scene where the chef is obsessively chasing one escaped ingredient/pest and ends up destroying the entire dining area in the process.

Even if one or more of their real enemies are in the building when they explode it, which rarely seems to even be the case, that is not a good excuse to blow up any of these buildings. It would be cheaper and easier to only kill the intended target(s) no matter how good they were hiding.

Like their excuse is usually that the enemies are using human shields, you’d think by now they would have been able to prove it at least once, I mean, it’s been proven a few times that they themselves are, so we know it’s possible to prove it… but like, isn’t the whole point of human shields that they are actually effective, because the goal is to not kill those people? Not to just use it as an excuse to kill everyone instead of just the bad guys.

I know, I know, the cruelty is the point and the justification is a lie… but like, how does the lie keep working, it feels like their main hurdle in destroying the cities is just how long they have to wait between killing women and children before attention dies down enough that they can afford to “accidentally” do it again.

I don’t know what it is for other people, but I am hypersensory, so I am basically catatonic 90% of the time in the shower.

Yeah, Alberta used to have a much more varied economy. But every boom, things move more into oil and gas, and every bust, they barely move away. People are quick to follow the easy money and so reluctant to do anything else when it goes away, knowing it’ll be temporary, even if temporary means years. As it wanes, the booms will be shorter and less pronounced, and the busts will be longer and more pronounced. Eventually, there will be a tipping point, even at the current reluctant pace people have for turning away from it. But it would be so nice if more people saw the writing on the wall sooner.

Ok, sorry, 2 hours. But either way, one hour would have sufficed for it to no longer be legitimate confusion anymore. And I can for sure go away, just stop posting things you are trying to get responses to. Although I think at this point, this is my last response even if you keep doing so.

Well, not at first, but after an hour of everyone explaining the sentence, and how it was a proper well-written sentence, at some point maintaining that you were correct that it didn’t make sense had to start being a character you were playing.

Whether unintentionally manifested through ODD, or intentional, same difference.

That’s fair. Though it was more in response to how consistently negative you were being to everyone else. Like you were trying to prove to everyone else the sentence was as hard to read as you thought it was. I was more attacking the character you were playing with ad hominem, to show you how your position was coming across.

While it may be difficult to start reading books at the point you are at, it seems like it might be worth the effort to overcome the initial difficulties.

I don’t know where the line is from, but gonna guess from context it’s “fuck a stranger in the ass”.

Hehe, I just left my starter pokemon at the front of my line up for the whole game. He ended up hitting max level, and none of the pokemon behind him ever really got to fight. He was one-shotting with “not very effective” moves. I also didn’t keep any of the buffs or debuffs, just attack moves. Since I was basically only using one Pokémon, he had to have a bunch of attacks cuz they would run out of uses. I wasn’t as young as you would hope for a “tactic” like that to be my solution to the game. But to be fair, it kept working… so was it really wrong?

I assume it was pokemon blue, mainly cuz I picked blastoise. My level of creativity as a kid means I very likely wouldn’t have picked blastoise if I was playing pokemon red.

Cybertruck bulletproof window all over again. He really needs to stop demonstrating stuff live.

Not only was he “using” starlink, he was specifically doing it as a promotion to show that it is good for gaming. And even with that being the whole premise, it was still his kneejerk reaction to blame the connection, even though everyone watching knows that can’t be what happened. His ego couldn’t let him blame himself instead of the service he was purposefully trying to promote.

Heh, that is even better. His ego wouldn’t let him blame himself instead of the service he was purposely trying to promote… leading to him doing the opposite.

When smart people move out to the boonies, it’s to get away from all people. When dumb people move out to the boonies, it’s to get away from smart people and their annoying rules. They still want to hang out with other people and do dumb people stuff with them. So you don’t really see smart people out in the boonies, but they are there, just inside.

What’s even more crazy is I bet it flashed through his head that it was “unfair” that even 25 million wasn’t enough to buy such a small election.

If your post said what you wanted it to say, without missing a sentance explaining the part you kept in your head, people wouldn’t have to “figure out” that you are saying the opposite of what it sounds like you are saying, because “you know” you would never say what it looks like you are saying.

You just need a second sentence about how it’s hypocracy that they said that or something. The part that you know in your head, but didn’t put “on paper”.

It’s like, in speaking, you could just emphasise the right syllables the right way and that string of text would read exactly how you intend it to. But in text, that doesn’t work.

It’s like putting down the lyrics to a song without the melody and expecting everyone to sing it the same way you hear it in your head. Only works if they already know the melody. There is no way for us to know your melody, so you instead can’t write ambiguously. If you want other people to follow along.

Half your thought is still in your head. When you read this to yourself, it sounds like what you intended to say. When everyone else reads it, we are still missing context.

Sounds like a possibility for a really creative story moment. Maybe the comic book that character always carries around with them just so happened to use the same runes as their “secret language” and the author of that comic is some super nerd for that specific language.

Some of the other race modes do involve “getting to” the next track. But if you think about it as just being a point to point race between each circuit race, then it’s not really “open world” per se.

My sister is so excited for the cow. Not enough games let you play as an adorable cow.
