And Iran never said anything about wanting to destroy israel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Israel_relations

In April 2022, President Ebrahim Raisi declared in the speech for military parade that "Iran's armed forces will target Israel's heart if it makes 'the slightest move'".

Israel already did that, forty years ago.

I don't think people are fighting over anything, pretty much everyone collectively agrees that you should shut the fuck up.

fair

https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-3/

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Let's see how CE fights over this one.

UK got rid of the guns, and now everyone just stabs everyone else.

I live in Vietnam, so it seems likely that would be the country Id go to prison in.

oh.
okay then

I hear it's not so bad, now that France and America aren't fucking around there anymore.

Q You watch this Lego Masters show? New season started.

No.
"Do this shit in a time limit" shows are awful - all of them

Jon Bois is arguably the biggest (north american) football fanboy on the planet, right now.

...You made an entire topic just to tell me you love guns and people being shot, which I clearly already knew?

Well, I mean, the United States is the only nation that has "fuck yeah - guns!" burned into the charter. Maybe also Serbia or Yemen.

What's up with Finland?

I spent $80 or $90 on a book about Mexican murals that I still haven't de-shrinkwrapped.
We all know I'm suggestible to buying flattened and bound dead trees, so what's next?

https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-2/

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

United States has a 120% private firearms ownership rate, and this is mostly why.

Overthrowing the monarchy?

America never needed to overthrow the monarchy. We just told it to fuck off.

Makes me think at how little I've done with my life.

I was born in 1975, and saw almost all of videogames, and the entirety of the internet. I came of age in 1993, when the world wide web began. I may have made part of it, in college.
This is the greatest time to be alive.

Was the US sending troops as early as 1955?

Yes. Just not enough to start with the draft yet.

Creeping on 50, and falling apart.
My dad is 70+ and in better shape than me, somehow.

You think Russia got surplus tanks to give away?

They still have the only two Panzer 8 Maus tanks that ever existed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_VIII_Maus

One of them still runs.

Either way Id be spending the rest of my life in a Vietnamese prison

The only way that can likely happen, is if you were a vietnam war vet from 1955 to 1975.
Thank you for your service.

If it's cancer, you're already dead.
Hemorrhoids, probably, which eventually become cancer. Get your colon cam'd.

Salaried, so it's 8 or 9 or 10 days, and I'm shitposting on gamefaqs for most of it.

This.
Schutzstaffel is an automatic nope.

Game Informer is still a great magazine, despite Gamestop's efforts otherwise.

Russia giving Gaza surplus soviet tanks would somehow be a bad thing for Gaza.
T-34 is the best tank Russia ever had, and even that's not so great. A 1979 Merkava will chop that up in seconds.

Also I dont know about the US, but in Australia pleading guilty avoids a trial altogether (except possibly murder; not sure).

In the US, the death penalty only exists in maybe half the states and a few federal crimes, and pleading guilty almost always evades it entirely.

I guess actual literal gold too but I don't recommend eating gold nuggets as a weight loss strategy

Raw polonium is a definite weight-loss strategy, but that only happens with people Vladimir Putin doesn't like.

Glob posted...

but Ive never seen them described as negative calories before like celery.

raw potato is negative calories. It sucks nutrients out of you somehow

May be anecdotal. I eat raw potatoes like an apple, all the time. Still fat.

Cold turkey vs. tapering off is a debate that only has an answer depending on each individual person.

Cold turkey is "this is going to suck, but I already know that"

my bpm is now low 60s - high 50s

60 is actually optimal.
50 is "cigarettes" - that's what nicotine does.

I've been 90-110 since high school, and that's too damn fast

Anybody used VHS?

I have A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, on Betamax.

Or the third reason, like with homeless rates, cities are usually blue and things are worse there, see, Dems are the real problem!!1

Reminder that Questionmarktarius only abandoned Trump after Jan 6. Ergo, everything up to that point he was fine with.

Not to mention his professed admiration for Reagan and Thatcher.

People bring up Chicago's gun violence either to dismiss how commonplace mass shootings are in this country (a terrible stance) or shift the narrative to something with racist implications (also a terrible stance).

I go with "racist implications" to the exact point that nobody even fucking cares unless it's white people getting shot, usually by some white guy.

Some shoppers are idiots who dont know how to use self checkout, and hold up the line for everyone.

But Target should probably also staff registers for the geriatrics and people who have two carts of crap.

Any given Target has twenty checkout lines, Zero or one are open when you go there.
Also there's eight self checkouts, and 2-6 of them are broken today.

Thats why they give IP holders all the power in disputes, and half the time they dont even have to prove they are the IP holder.

If your monetization is piggybacking on someone else's thing, good luck getting money from Google.

because my boy asked me to. and he knows my willpower - he would not have asked me if it did not mean a lot to him. i dont want him to have to worry about what might crop up when we're older

That's a good reason.
Good luck.

If it gets hairy, try nicotine patches.

Am I the only one who thinks this terminology is weird given that all video games have been 'purely digital' for multiple decades at this point?

Pong is discrete hardware, to the point that the entire game is a circuit diagram, but that's about the last one.

The NES era, where games needed specific "MMC" chips is ambiguously so.
