    Yea, because it is weird, you dolt. It’s literally just because it’s easier to say that it stuck, but it’s flatly useless. The country’s name is stupid, hard to deal with, and pretty much only the reality on the surface…much like the country itself.

    I just say “US citizens”. It would probably be more accurate to say “citizens of the USA” buy my fucking god they aren’t worth that kind of effort.





  • I’m younger than both of ya’ll but I remember playing COD Modern Warfare 2 on my Xbox 360 with a 27” CRT TV and a connection that put me a good few tenths of a second behind everyone else(estimating off of killcam footage).

    I cleaned up most of the time. I had to get good and I didn’t know at first that it was my connection so I just started going wild lol. I only played hardcore mode and used fast, light weapons so I could react and correct more quickly. Probably couldn’t pull it off these days but it’s a fun memory.

    If someone did a horrific thing and then told me they weren’t as guilty as their boss I’d be fairly confident saying that if their first priority was to justify their actions then they can also get absolutely fucked.

    I’m not going to go refind the examples, but there have been stories about things soldiers do that are definitely not ordered by anyone else. There can be a level of cruelty at times that is completely on the individual and they cannot always hide behind “I was told to”.



  • “Abusive goading”? We don’t need to talk about the actual act of offing CEOs(and I ain’t no snitch, mind). I specifically asked you about how you want normal people to make the transition to revolutionaries and if you don’t know then just say you’re pissed and, frankly, that’s ok because we should all be pissed right now. Hell, I’d be ok with you acknowledging that people are right to be afraid of the risk. And I’d still like to know what you’re doing and I imagine there is something non-violent, right? Like, how many protests do you go to and are you willing to skip work to go to them?

    I’ll even say it for you that I’d love to see more Luigi events happening but I also understand that that’s a lot to ask of someone and if I’m not willing to do it myself then I have no moral ground to stand on to be making demands. We can both agree that it makes sense why you wouldn’t want to respond to that particular sentence but you need to understand it.


  • You haven’t really answered my question, and I literally already told you that I know that the DNC uses that exact tactic. I also explained that I don’t vote that way. Gosh, you’re stupid.

    So what are you doing to start this revolution? What advice to you have for people who want to join in and do real, tangible work like that? Do you understand how big of a jump it’s going to be for the most vulnerable people to go from scarce instability to guaranteed instability and do you understand how scared they are and that they aren’t pawns in your little moral soapboxing?

    You talk about not wanting to sacrifice people but you’re demanding they be the foot soldiers in your revolution.


  • The only way to read your comment as having any level of intelligence implies that there is a third option I’m missing. So what’s your alternative, then?

    And “no one votes for the Democrats while knowing that the nation is full of people who can’t afford to take the risk of a Republican administration” is not an alternative. I get the sentiment, but it’s not happening. I’d say it should be primaries, but the DNC doesn’t really do those and their weird, sequential primary is designed to allow them to shape the outcome as it happens.

    So please, enlighten us.





  • Like the other person said, you can at least control what you interact with directly. So you cancel your Prime subscription and turn your lights with your hand instead of an Echo but you don’t worry so much about trying to figure out if any of the several companies involved in making [product] have some form of attachment to AWS.

    And there will be some level of consumption in this horrible system that’s not gunna be good in order for you to not be horribly depressed but people can shed more than they think and alternatives do exist for many of the ones you might put at lower priority.

    Yea, I spend several hours once a week with my bestfriend a city over. We’d play together in person but mostly we do other stuff that we can’t do online when we hangout in person. That’s not to say that I don’t believe in a certain magic of a LAN party but it’s not like I can’t play 110hrs of Baldur’s Gate unless he’s in same the room.

    People act like the only online games are Fortnite and CoD but it’s like, bud, it’s just that your friends are busy and find it hard to set aside time like that.

    Oh also many PCs have glass sides and are risky to transport. Ain’t no way I’m risking my Fractal North unless I’m moving. MiniATX though I totally would, all the time.
