Nintendo. Even though the Switch is nothing more than a port machine that I have little interest in, it has to be the most hyped console since the Wii. I mean the thing is so prevalent in our society that I even have stogy middle aged coworkers talking about thier Animal Crossing islands & how to most efficiently acquire bells and the thing is pretty much crack cocaine to kiddies. And because of this most of the Youtubers have made the switch to ,erm, the Switch, so they can spam content for it. Switch, Switch, Switch. I find Switch mania to be obnoxious, but what can you do.

No. But we got shooter fatigue over here. It may be shocking to the Dutch, but it is just another day in paradise over here.

Cows are cool, but I think of them more as stoners, chilling in peaceful tranquility eating thier grass, than risque dancers.

You do realize people put silencers on thier guns, so they don't blow out thier eardrums while firing guns, not because they want to be some stealth assassin. A gun fired with a silencer is quite audible most of the time, especially a shotgun or hunting rifle. It is only something like a .22 pistol that is truly silent with a silencer. Pretty much the only sound you hear with that is the bullet ricocheting

Well, they call them pets for a reason.

I'm surprised the Zoomers even care about robo cop.

It was always going to be Trump. People love him & love to hate him. People can't get him out of thier heads even after two years. The moment he announces his running all the news media will be the 24/7 Trump news media. No one wants diet Trump, they want Trump classic.

Given that the impeachment trial over it largely amounted to everyone agreeing it was an impeachable offense, everyone agreeing that he was guilty, and then (almost) all of the republicans deciding to ignore that and vote along party lines for the sake of voting along party lines, I'd say it held up well enough in the relevant court. Said court is just innately so corrupt that it can't get a conviction because everyone votes based on their party instead of the defendant's guilt.

There is no way actual courts would've found him guilty of anything in regards to 1/6. The first amendment is pretty strong, so unless Trump was explicitly telling his followers to enter the capital building & capture senators or something, it won't stick. Also if you listen to the speech, he explicitly told his followers to peacefully protest and said nothing about entering the capital building (he said go to the capital building, but did not say enter).

Of course, while you couldn't legally find him guilty for anything as of 1/6, morally you could. I mean gaslighting your followers for several months that the election is a fraud could conceivably lead to a situation like 1/6 or even worse if they really believed it, but ultimately even gaslighting is protected under the first amendment, so once again legally, no issue.

Yeah, so what? He has a social media team that tries to astroturf various hash tags and the like, who doesn't. It still doesn't mean the public legitimately cares. The man hasn't been relevant for close to twenty years at this point & is mostly known by the man in the street as the dude that wore a bunch of makeup and took out a rib so he can suck his own dick. Considering that the Depp trial was the biggest trial since OJ (at least in terms of popularity), media, influencers, ect want the sequel, but the public just isn't having it, so this has very much been in the background. No doubt they will try to make it relevant, but I doubt it will work.

No, if I am to die it is by my own incompetent hand, not a robot's.

They think anything hotter than black pepper is too spicy.

Yeah, it wasn't like the Judge was going to suppress anything truly interesting. All it would mean would be an appeal that would look really bad on her. Almost everything in the sealed documents was either prejudicial, hearsay or largely irrelevant.

BlackScythe0 posted...

??? Can you point out the specific points of interest in the article? He was pretty open about his substance abuse problems and I don't believe anyone considered him to be a good guy. The trial wasn't about how good of a person he was, it was about if her claims had merit or not and they didn't. They were both miserable people, she was just trying to take advantage of her gender to smear him.

Just a bunch of stuff we already knew: He is friends with Manson, Disney did not like him because of his drug use, etc. Nothing that would change anyone's minds on the thing. It is more Lawtubers desperate for content after the massive windfall they got trying to get something interesting to talk about. I mean after Rittenhouse & Depp what other big trials are in the pipeline? I mean, no one cares about the has been known as Manson, so the answer is nihil, nichts & nada.

Second job I worked with I had a coworker that was in his late 50s. He had dedicated 15 years of his life to the the company. I tohught that was something to aspire to and decided to always work at a company that valued their employees like that. Current company has two people who have worked there for 20 years each.
That's what I appreciate out of a job.

Really? I always thought people that worked that long at a company unless they are in a high level position tend to be suckers. It's not like you get a pension & most of the promotions you get tend to be by interviewing for companies outside the company you work for, not within. Big companies almost expect that you are going to leave in a couple years, so deliberately treat you like crap to maximize your value while you work there.

I would definitely want to the dude kicked out of my house asap if I were in that position. What kind of dude hangs at his exe's house for several months after "break up". Isn't the whole point of break up to, you know, break up. I would get a restraining order and be done with the impertinent nuisance once and for all.

Hot dogs are processed meat that statistically takes off 36 minutes of your life every time you eat one, they're made out of intestines feathers bones and shit, and they don't even taste that good. I'll eat one on occasion but I will never sit around the house eating hot dogs.

You might be like, "who wants to be alive at 90 anyway?" but it's more of a multiplier effect than a subtracting effect if you get what I mean. I've worked in a deli and I've seen what the old people eating bologna look like.

Kobayashi must be seeing his life flash before his eyes as days get wiped off his lifespan with each hotdog eating competition

also the sexual harassment tracing cracked me up (not because i find SH funny at all) because the asshole/creepy dude in the videos is the actor that played the dad in even stevens lmao

The feels when you wanted to be a professional actor and all you get to star in is sexual harassment and diversity training videos.

But burgers can seldom stand on thier own. I can eat a hot dog plain and enjoy it, but a burger always needs condiments of some sort. Heck half the time the burger is nothing, but a condiment delivery vehicle, whether it be blue cheese, mushroom & swiss, jalapeno, barbeque, etc., the burger is always playing a supporting role and many time completely overwhelmed by its toppings. The hot dog on the other hand is the star of the show, the thing that all condiments seek to support. It is why the burger will always been inferior.

I always found burgers a bit boring. While it is not super common for me, an all beef frank crisped up in the pan and served on a steamed bun & garnished with sauerkraut & mustard or hot sauce is always a crowd pleaser. Hot dogs get a bad rap from all the cheap $1 garbage you can buy for them, but a good hot dog will beat a good burger for me.

Of course it's illegal. But Trump is a reality warper who can do whatever he wants with zero consequences. Think about it. Has he ever been held accountable once in his life? For anything? Anything whatsoever?

Hardly the case. He had to get approval by the New Jersey Cemetery Board for the plot of land he wanted to use as a cemetery before he could bury anyone there, which he got & he is only exempt for taxes on that plot of land, which is around 2,500 square feet, not the whole golf course. I don't see how he is monetizing his wife's death. The whole thing is nothing but a cost sink, a small one for him, but he is not making money on this endeavor. He just wants to bury himself and his family at a place of his choosing.

look at this clown making excuses its disgusting it shouldnt be allowed

If you think this is disgusting, then I suggest you not look too much into the embalming process. Two words: butt plugs, in addition to all the nasty chemicals that they inject into your corpse to preserve it. Yeah, I am happy with cremation. As long you don't make ashes into a Frisbee or flush them down the toilet or something, I am happy.

It looks like what happens when you turn the sliders in character creation in weird ways: Massive chest, butt & pretty large neck, but small waist & mid sized arms. Weird look. It's pretty funny that even with all the T she probably took, she doesn't have biceps much bigger than the average male jock.

I think her kids might have been the ones who agreed to bury her there:

The plan is for Trump and all his immediate family to buried there, so it would make sense the kids would want her to be buried near Trump and themselves.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

The plot is around 100 meters from the golf area and separated by a few roads and a couple walls of trees. It would be a bad look for golfers if you had to look at the Trump family cemetery every time you had to tee off. Although, you probably can see it driving in.

It's not neutral evil, it is just practical.

To be fair, it is more being buried to the side of the golf course not on it. It is not like golfers are teeing over her grave or anything. The thing that is weird though is how basic it is, just a plaque and barely maintained wilderness (I would at least add some decorative metal fencing or something). I know his first idea was to construct a gigantic twenty foot obelisk, which got shot down, but it is weird how you go from twenty foot obelisk to this basic display. You would at least to expect a gigantic golden bust or marble relief or something, not this puny display.

Everyone remembers 9/11. You got to stop trolling the local middle school for dates TC.

After looking it up, the logo is a bundle of sticks (with an ax), I guess you could say fascists are a bunch of fa*is modded*

I always thought it was a weird looking symbol myself & certainly didn't seem too imposing. At first, I thought that the bundle of sticks around the axe meant that the ruler was supposed to use his power over people judiciously (the sticks are containing the axe handle), but evidently the sticks represent the power to beat & the axe represents the power to execute, so it is not so much a symbol of judicious use of power, but more a of a symbol of I own you bitch & can do whatever I want to you, so don't mess with me.

I know right?

Fascism was named after the Faciste, which is a member of a Trade Union...

What did Mussolini and Herpler do? Immediately ban Trade Unions

It is named after the fasces, a symbol of ancient authority. The person that held the fasces could expect his orders to be obeyed and had the power of life or death over his subjects. Mussolini adopted this symbol to show he had supreme authority over those he governed. Strangely enough, you see this symbol all over the place in the US, most prominent in the house chamber. I always find it interesting every time the President gives the state of the union seeing the fasces behind him. Just one of the many strange symbols all over the place in the US.

I hope the dude had kids already, yeesh.

I feel like all Trump has to do is a flying elbow drop on the poor starley & his heft will take care of the rest.

Well, I am still working on the details of this analogy. Kind of hard to fit the sacking anywhere.

Eh, I feel like the Nazis are overused. If anything I will say America is like post Punic wars Rome in that we are victims of our own success, disunified & constantly at each others throats. The distrust of the Senate and interest of circumventing the republic either through greater presidential autonomy or the supreme court also fits.

Unless you are using two 3090s, cant really have something twice as good as what I got, even then, my CPU was in the top 5 at the start of the year, and between first and 5th is a marginal difference at best, not a x2.

You may have a better graphics card & cpu than me, but at least I have more than fricken 2 TB of storage space. So take that!

Look up GS pay scales. Theyre not bad for the average person, given how easy the jobs generally are, but hell probably pull five times his pay minimum in the first year alone.

according to Wiki he started with the DOT and then went Secret Service so that dude already has a retirement. Hes just banking money at this point.

I dunno, 175k seems pretty crappy for an executive level position. I mean, it is pretty common to make even more than that even at a small company & at a large company like Snap he is probably going to be making a couple million, so yeah, GS is kind of a joke for a high ranking dude like him.

You can always go with a track suit jacket. Go for that Russian mobster look.

Seems fine. The air intake is in the front so there is plenty of air for it to draw from. There is enough clearance in the back for the exhaust, so I don't see any problem with this setup. Honestly my computer setup is far worse, since I have the intake right on the carpet & the exhaust is partially blocked by my computer desk & I haven't had any issues for years. The air circulation on your PS5 is way better.

andel posted...

that isn't actually what happened and the contract he signed doesn't give an exception for the excuse he crafted after having buyers remorse. this will likely end with elon getting out of the deal but he will have to pay 10 figures for the trouble

It still does not give the company the right to lie about key aspects of the company. I mean, if they said nothing about it would be one thing, but if they are asserting 5% of thier users are bots, then it must reasonably be around that range. Of course, proving Twitter is incorrect on this is another matter because there are a ton of different ways of calculating this figure, so unless it is completely ridiculous and just pulled out of thier arse, then I doubt the judge will say it is incorrect.

DarkRoast posted...

Don't forget that he wants to re-negotiate a contract he already signed because he's concerned about a thing his contract specifically said he can't use to re-negotiate.

That is actually incorrect. He never waived his rights to review the information. It was a public rumor, but never written in the actual contract. Elon's lawyers are stating that Twitter is in breach of the contract because Twitter misrepresented the user data, namely the bot figures & did not give Elon the proper access to thier systems to verify it himself (they gave him less access than most high end customers) & because of this misrepresentation the valuation of the company was overvalued. To me it does seem to be a bit of weaseling himself out of the contract, but it is pretty bad that Twitter was not giving him the proper tools to evaluate the company even after requested for nearly two months. I mean the dude is paying 44 billion dollars for your company why aren't you giving him the highest access, unless you have something to hide.

Eh, it is worth a shot to step away from the deal with Twitter & try to renegotiate if you are Elon. $44 billion is a absurd amount of money for a company as grossly unprofitable as Twitter, so you may as well try to assert that Twitter misrepresented thier position when making the deal to try to get some of the price taken off in court or out. Who knows how good of a chance you have of accomplishing this, but there is limited downside and a large amount of upside.

He probably built some shells as well. The smoke is probably just the material he used for the shells casing being burnt up.

I mean he could've used some wadding like a piece of cork to help get a better grouping on the projectiles & cram some paper down to keep everything in place, but I would hardly call it a shell. When I think of shell I think of a percussion cap firing mechanism & this setup was a lot more simple than that.
