He says that tech as a phenomenon is largely a 20th century phenomenon and is generally over now, that the things that can be invented have been invented, that we’ll never see another Walkman, a device that changes what is possible so radically that stores can’t keep them on the shelves.

I bet there were people saying the same sort of thing a week before the walkman was invented

If the Democrats had any interest in dialing back the police/surveillance state they would have done it during the Obama administration when they had a majority in all 3 seats of government. People are so goddamn naive.

I’m concerned with such a scenario because the guy lives 2 doors down from me. He’s threatened me before and I have video of him staring at my bedroom window in the middle of the night, pointing at it, and swinging a bat.

It sounds like OOP installed some sort of dumb 3rd party mod. A well built and maintained gun isn’t going to fire unless you pull the trigger. I live alone, my holster covers the trigger and I practice trigger discipline when I’m handling the gun. I’ll be fine.

I’m not willing to give the psycho I bought it to protect myself from 3 seconds to cave my skull in with a bat

Most gun deaths in America are from gang violence and suicide

That’s how I store the one I keep in my nightstand overnight for self defense. That’s also how I carry it. Not gonna do me much good if it’s not ready to fire.

Vic wanted a blaze of glory. What he got was purgatory. Which for him, was hell.

Person calling someone else a pendant breaks out the dictionary definition of “pedantic” as the opening salvo of a multi paragraph hair splitting rant. This is the internet I signed up for.

It’s more like a choice between voting for Nazi Germany or voting for Vichy France

If they haven’t taken responsibility for their actions they haven’t made amends. Also, I suspect paarthunax is biding his time until the LDB dies and there’s nobody who can stop him. Thousands of years is nothing to an immortal, what’s a few decades more?

Parthuunax was a mass murderer and loyal soldier of alduin before he had his “come to Jesus” moment. If you knew about a former concentration camp commandant living in Argentina, and he was dedicating his life to feeding orphans the last few years, would it be racist to turn him in to the authorities?

“get out of my house but continue doing what you do” is the latter.

Controlled opposition. They’re meant to convince us there’s someone out there on our side.

To my reading, it looks like he is correcting the implication that his lawsuit is about abolishing ICE rather than getting ICE out of his city

So nimbyism

I think it’s more like “I can’t enjoy fallout 1 anymore knowing what it eventually became”.

I don’t agree but I get it.

Tbf RDP works pretty well for basic desktop stuff even over slow links. I’m sure there’s a protocol out there even more optimized for use cases like this.

He’s so into it he’d probably say that acting is the hobby and ghost hunting is his real job

Dan akroyd is a real believer, he ghost hunts as a hobby and the original draft of Ghostbusters was grounded in “reality” until Harold Ramis reeled him in.

To Russian IP addresses or Russians? It would be trivial for the CIA or another intelligence agency to use Russian IPs.
