Modern android OS has an optional lockdown mode that you can enable access to alongside restart/shutdown. And it disables all biometric access until your pin is entered again.

Yeah, we did this, we just made them rocket propelled and called them mortars.

Elden ring was the one that clicked because it had more abundant save points. I just don’t have time to do the same 45 minute trek to a boss only to get stomped in 20 seconds.

All I want to do when I’m old is drugs. Psychedelics until the end of my days.

Which is dumb, because he’s one of the people who could just go see one literally any time.

If not for the ethics on the side of the gorilla in terms of making them fight a human, I legitimately do think we should let every single person who thinks they can 1v1 them try. Idiocy of this level voluntarily removing itself from the gene pool is a net good for the species.

I was on 4chan back in '06-'10 or so. Back when it was more people circle jerking about being right wing or blaming things on jews for the bit, to be edge lords. But that’s the thing about doing that - when you do it soon becomes impossible to distinguish the people doing it for laughs and the people who genuinely believe it. And eventually the people doing it for laughs leave, and all that’s left is people who believe it.

I was just there for memes, porn, and trolling. Calling a specific GameStop and repeatedly asking for battletoads in a thousand ways will always be funny to me. But eventually the shift becomes too great.

4chan has always been an ocean of piss, but it wasn’t always this concentrated.

Vibes based political outcomes by people who only believe what they’re told

I said the first time he was elected that, love him or hate him, you have to admit that he is an accurate caricature of America.

Are we cooked, Chat?

For sure, it wasn’t super widely reported at the time. Nuclear weapons and foreign policy just happen to be “special interests” for me so I tend to follow things like that.

There was a sincere risk of Russia using nuclear weapons earlier in the conflict, around the winter of 2022/2023 when the first major Russian mobilization of 600k failed to achieve the desired outcomes and the North Western front started to collapse. The released intelligence info put it at about 50/50.

This is why, at the time, the Biden administration made several clearly coded messages/announcements that nuclear weapons usage in Ukraine would result in an overwhelming conventional retaliation that would remove Russian military capability from the board. It’s also part of the reason nations were so slow to provide advanced support capabilities. There was a fear (justified, imo) that immediately opening the floodgates and giving Ukraine tanks, jets, advanced missiles, and using those missiles to strike deep in Russian territory would result in usage of nuclear weapons. It still is a risk, honestly. If Ukraine started doing heavy damage to Moscow, there’s a real chance Putin might decide to flip the table over rather than lose the game.

Not if you want to walk the nightmare astral plane

I feel it. My back was spasming so hard that my right leg was an inch and a half shorter than my left because the muscles were cramped that hard and wouldn’t release.

I swear roberts only makes good decisions to build up capital for the bad ones.

When it first happened the doctor asked my pain level and gave me a look when I said “10.” So I explained that I was doing everything I could to not be actively groaning/sobbing/screaming out loud because society reacts poorly to huge dudes behaving like that. That I’d spent most of the drive over screaming in my car. That I’d puked a few times the night before from pain.

I finally summed it up as, “if you tell me now that I’ll still feel like this in two weeks, I will go home and kill myself. Because that’s my estimate of how long I can endure this.”

Ended up getting into a physical therapist and eventually got cortisone shots. Fixed most of it, thank god

Weed is illegal and minorities get arrested for it more because Nixon wanted to create more felons to stop people from voting for Democrats. Because in his view mostly only hippies and minorities smoked weed or used other hallucinogens, and those people overwhelmingly vote for Democrats.

The slavery is a bonus, but that was the real reason.

The human desire to keep feeding the fire because big fire equals more awesome. But on a truly enormous scale.

We should be so lucky
