But you see, it’s different because the US is only supplying the orphan crushing machine, keeping it running, and making more. It’s okay as long as we aren’t actually throwing the orphans in ourselves!

Nobody needs/wants the white liberal to speak for them, but another voice in the crowd demanding something surely can’t be a bad thing?

You poll them on policies, and suddenly everyone is a “far left extremist” for wanting safety nets and basic standards for human existence.

Former coworker kept saying he was republican, but he disagreed with them on a fundamental level about nearly every social issue, including guns.

He was all for anything and everything about collective bargaining, the workers uniting against management, but god forbid you use the “U” word.

Agreed every day about this social safety net needs expanded, that program needs better funding, more programs like this or that should exist for people in need, but once the dreaded “S” word comes out, suddenly everyone is a commie. Cause you know how socialism is actually communism and all that.

I’ve got a couple busted laptops and some loose memory floating around, I just need to find one of my working hdds.

Technically I have an extra one but it’s acting as my media drive right now and I don’t even have a backup of it…

I definitely want to make the switch BEFORE my current setup dies, since it’ll be easier to transfer/convert everything I can.

I haven’t read it in full in well over 15 years, but that comment made me go find it.

I am not okay today if this is making me cry and I just woke up an hour ago…

I love it

Same.

Every time I visited him, even if it was the third time that week, he would break out a small flashlight he replaced the incandescent bulb with a (very dim) led, tell me about how LEDs work, and demonstrate the fact that it won’t work in reverse…

I still have the flashlight.

Okay look, when my current drive fails I’m never EVER reinstalling Microsoft,cand I’m not getting another Microsoft computer. Macos was never even an option…

So One Day™ I will chomp down hard on that cracker…

I even broke out my old laptops to see if I could salvage an hdd to give current laptop (with space for an extra hard drive) a separate (if smaller) Linux drive.

Sadly all 3 were unusable, they literally freeze everything that tries to access them…

But I pinky swear I’ll be making the swap Soon™

I think my wife has shown me a video of him?

I hate to make assumptions but honestly how many quadruple amputees can manipulate and shoot a gun and have made videos…

I’m sure it’s more than one because people sure do get curious as to how… But still.

Hey, we’ve all been addicted to the holodeck at one point or another. Sometimes you aren’t even sure what reality is anymore with all the alternate timelines, parallel universes, memory engrams, psychic torture…

All I’m sayin’ is don’t judge poor broccoli Barclay too hard.

*that isn’t personally losing their house

They tend to only care when it hits them

I was just about to say “the blessing of being a full grown adult that loves finding Nemo”…

I always wanted to hear that joke the right way…

It’s important that those 100x are to different people.

Your coworker sound like my grandpa.

“Our Glorious Agricultural Fields” vs “Their Barbaric Farming Practices”

Look, we all just make up random numbers and throw in a decimal point to make it feel official.

Nobody says anything because nobody wants to admit it’s all made up.

So just toss some numbers up there and you’re golden!

Military personnel taking time out of their taxpayer-funded training exercise to get some social media material.

As former enlisted, an argument could be made they were AWOL. They were not in their designated place at their designated time, and did not have permission to do the thing they did.

a few minutes earlier

“hmm, I’m bored. Oh look here’s some people enjoying a small laugh. Imma shit on the fun. How DARE they enjoy a joke I personally don’t like. The FOOLS! THE ABSOLUTE MORONS! I simply MUST tell people their frivolity is absurd.”

We made it constitutionally protected via the 13th Ammendment. It’s bullshit, and one of the many reasons, IMO, why minorities (especially black people) are still disproportionately targeted by law enforcement.

Well, most likely you will be the poor fucker.

Or you’ll show up next time to a little thank you note and a small box with a single beer inside.

I guess you couod show up to all the wood gone, but fingers crossed!

I spent roughly 2 hours getting into geoguessing…

I did some quick and easy ones, with like obvious signs and stuff. After spending 30 minutes tracking down flight info based on the time the photo was taken, I decided I didn’t have the dedication for such things and if I couldn’t figure it out in 2 minutes based on signs and landmarks, I’m okay with not knowing the exact location a picture was taken.

Hats off to the stalker-level people who can pinpoint the specific 30ft area in a cornfield a video was taken based on time of day, the color of the dirt, a specific toad croak at 12m37s into the video, etc…
