| Topic | maybe i am just jaded but whenever these game companies say they care about BLM |
| PMarth2002 06/05/20 6:43:14 AM #4 | Well if it helps, here are some game companies that donated money to BLM causes. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-06-03-games-industry-donates-to-black-lives-matter-and-more-in-support-of-us-protests Looked at the list and some of them are fan or staff lead, not by the companies themselves, but EA of all companies donated a million, and square enix a quarter of a million. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |

| PMarth2002 06/05/20 6:40:25 AM #29 | AvantgardeAClue posted... Why obligation do people have to obey the laws if theres nobody to enforce them? Got any better examples? Its legit the only one that I'm aware of. Anyway, I'd expect it to take time and from what I read the murder rate is at its lowest since the 80s, which seems to say its making some progress at least. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |

| PMarth2002 06/05/20 6:13:20 AM #26 | I suspect they're going to do something like what happened with camden new jersery's police, not just disband it entirely. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-04/how-camden-new-jersey-reformed-its-police-department --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | I just realized there's nothing stopping you from getting bulletproof vests |
| PMarth2002 06/05/20 5:08:12 AM #4 | Yep, its legal in all 50 states unless you're a felon. Some states make it illegal to wear it while commiting a crime. Apparently you can't buy it online if you live in connecticut. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | Is it immoral for there to be more empty houses than homeless people? |
| PMarth2002 06/05/20 4:40:37 AM #3 | No, i think that's morally neutral. The way society generally neglects the homeless is, and the way some areas criminalize being homeless definitely is. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |

| Topic | 14y/o black kid sentenced to death |
| PMarth2002 06/05/20 2:50:04 AM #14 | They probably forced him to confess and that's all the jury probably needed to hear to believe it and be willing to sentence him to death --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | 14y/o black kid sentenced to death |
| PMarth2002 06/05/20 2:40:26 AM #6 | That's a travesty. although to be honest, I'm relieved it was in the 40s, I thought you were going to say it was someone recent. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | What summer movies were you looking forward to? |
| PMarth2002 06/05/20 12:26:02 AM #11 | I don't really keep up with what movies are coming out. If I hear about something I might go see it in theaters, or I'll check whats in theaters and go see something if i'm in the mood to. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |

| PMarth2002 06/04/20 11:43:03 PM #23 | Our moon is 5x bigger than Pluto, and there are thousands of pluto-like objects that share the same orbit as pluto. Its not a planet. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | Removing qualified immunity is a bad thing. |
| PMarth2002 06/04/20 6:39:22 PM #13 | Its not supposed to protect bad cops, but that's how its being used, which means it needs to go or at least be revised. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |

| PMarth2002 06/04/20 5:37:42 AM #13 | No, my dad's worked in computer related jobs for most of his adult life. Even when he was in the airforce. He was the chief technology officer for the company he worked for for well over a decade. My mom seems reasonably tech literate.

| PMarth2002 06/03/20 3:59:09 PM #8 | I've never owned anywhere close to a hundred games for a single console. I do have more than a hundred on steam, but a lot of those are random free games I downloaded, tried and deleted when it sucked. Less than a hundred games I actually paid money for. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |

| Topic | Anyone here have experience being a delivery driver? |
| PMarth2002 06/03/20 11:43:45 AM #6 | I've been a pizza delivery driver on and off since I graduated high school (I think I'm almost up to 5 years cumulatively since 2006). I enjoy it for the most part. Its an easy low stress way to make money. I've been able to support myself solely on pizza delivery in the past, working under 40 hours a week, admittedly with a fairly frugal lifestyle. That said, there are downsides. You're outside in shitty weather (rain generally makes people order delivery more), and it wears down your car. I absolutely would not recommend doing it in an area that's low income or has a high crime rate. I got robbed 3 times doing it at one store. That's basically the only reason I stopped doing it for several years. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | Trump will resign in July/August once he realized he has no chance |
| PMarth2002 06/03/20 11:29:33 AM #19 | I'd love for you to be right, but I agree with the people saying he'll never do it. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | When was the last time you got pulled over? |
| PMarth2002 06/03/20 11:27:36 AM #21 | January I think? Tried to make a left turn on a yellow light, turned red as I was pulling into the intersection. Noticed the cop sitting at the light as I was going into the intersection. Didn't get ticketed thankfully. Was a dumbass move on my part tbh. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |

| PMarth2002 06/03/20 11:14:32 AM #10 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4JCehDOy54 good enough for George Costanza to use as his voice mail message --- No matter where you go, there you are. |

| Topic | Do you prefer a membrane keyboard or a mechanical keyboard? |
| PMarth2002 06/03/20 10:42:27 AM #11 | SocksForWoksMAX posted... Who would choose a non-mechanical? Lol That seems like a weird thing to care that strongly about. I honestly had no idea about this distinction. I'm not even sure i've heard the term membrane keyboard before this topic and thats apparently the more common type. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | Do you prefer a membrane keyboard or a mechanical keyboard? |
| PMarth2002 06/03/20 10:38:27 AM #8 | Annihilated posted... Most keyboards are membrane. Mechanical ones are more expensive, and from what I've heard, noisier too. hmm. Well if they're more common than the keyboards I used with my desktops were probably membranes, but I actually don't know that for sure. I'm using a labtop currently, don't have a separate keyboard for it, but I don't like labtop keyboards anyway so thats irrelevant. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | Do you prefer a membrane keyboard or a mechanical keyboard? |

| Topic | White people of CE, how are you doing right now? |
| PMarth2002 06/03/20 10:27:47 AM #13 | I'm doing fine. This is some pretty crazy shit going on. Can't protest because of location and lack of a car. Wouldn't anyway because I don't want to risk going out with the pandemic going on. I'm thinking I'm going to donate a bit of money though. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |

| PMarth2002 06/03/20 10:00:58 AM #12 | I wouldn't anyway because there's a pandemic going on, but I actually can't physically get to a protest. I live in a small town and don't currently have a car. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |

| Topic | Why aren't you out protesting? |
| PMarth2002 06/03/20 8:11:10 AM #121 | Several reasons. I live in a small town, no protests. I don't have a car and the closest place where I could find a protest is probably nashville, which is two hours away. There's a pandemic going on. I don't want to be involved in any situation that's likely to break out into violence. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | How do you go about time management? |
| PMarth2002 06/03/20 8:01:53 AM #9 | I just do whatever I feel like doing. I don't have a job right now, so I've got literally nothing but free time. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | How many anime characters can you name from dis image? |
| PMarth2002 06/03/20 7:59:47 AM #15 | Don't feel like listing or counting. I'd say for maybe 2/3 to 3/4 of the characters on there, I could name either the actual character or what anime they come from). --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | Would you move to Japan if given the chance? |
| PMarth2002 06/03/20 6:36:06 AM #44 | I'd be more inclined to visit than move there. Not sure what i'd be doing for a job there anyway. I'm on unemployment pay, no salary, and my last job was pizza delivery and it paid less than I make on unemployment, with most of what it did pay being tips. --- No matter where you go, there you are. |
| Topic | Do you feel safer now that President Trump threatened to use military force? |
