I certainly hope that now he, as Kevin Bacon, walks around telling strangers he loves them. Since now he knows how much it sucks to be a nobody.

The guardian is lower credibility? I guess I should get all my information from OAN or FOX, huh?
What the fuck is MFBR and why should I give a shit what it thinks? How do I know it’s not biased?
In Blade Runner 2049, Weta Workshop had their laser pistols set up with a solenoid that moved back and forth with a trigger pull. Adam Savage looked at them in a Tested video. I don’t know if it’s cost prohibitive, but it sure seemed like the right way to do it.
However, you don’t get smoke with that. You can definitely rig something up as they did it with a knock off nerf blaster in the 80’s or even a cap gun, but at some point I assume the level of complexity makes modifying a real gun cheaper.
You could weld shut the barrel of a gun, which is what a lot of them do, but it seems like it’s a cost cutting measure when they used real guns that would retain their value. Alec (as a producer) used a cheap setup with a cheap armorer that didn’t know what they were doing. It’s both of their faults.
I’m right there with you. I get the feeling that the richest people in power are counting on the coming apocalypse to solve it. What slows greenhouse gases, plastic usage, oil refining, overfishing, etc? Less people. We’ll have oil wars, water wars, and kill/die off. Until then, make as much money as possible to wall yourself off in a bunker and survive. It’s easier to continue to exploit the economy than to fix it, make less, and have less people die. If we’re all dead, everything is solved for them and they’ve maximized profit that they can then use to boost survival and stay on top.
I don’t see an incentive for them to do otherwise.
You might need to account for an extra day or two to dig down low enough in the rocky mountains. Unless you’re working with a friend and they brought their own shovel.
And when he finally does die, we’ll get an AI chat model of him to continue rambling on Twitter.
Very optimistic to believe he’d live that long in the first place. He’d be lucky to live through the next one, even. He’s pretty old.
Nevermind being actually elected, or staying out of prison.
This parasitic infection isn’t actually any more debilitating than vaccines
Lol wat.
I don’t know why they’d go for this. They already write the laws that Congress approved, and it costs far less than a billion. Heck, you can buy a congressman that’ll sway the others for as low as 20k.
I imagine part of it is so Russia doesn’t know exactly what Ukraine’s military arsenal is.
“Oh the US just gave 10 tanks to Ukraine? Let’s be on the lookout with our tank busters for 10, and after that we won’t worry about tanks during our assaults.”
It died in my area when they dropped the amount of spawn nodes to the point where you couldn’t really walk around. You had to drive pretty far at that point, and that kill let most people’s enthusiasm.
I don’t know if it was complaints by local businesses or what, but after that I never saw large groups walking around again.
I don’t trust anything that wormy little turtle scrotum says.
Unless it’s death. I’d believe him if he dies.
Alas, I don’t live in Kentucky and can’t do anything about him continuing to be a political figure.
BFG Division from DOOM 2016 or Darude - Sandstorm for the parallels of Run Lola, Run.
But in reality, silence. I’d need to form a plan and amping up on adrenaline wouldn’t help with that.
Try using a non-alcohol-based lotion. If you can’t find one, I’ve had good success with Eucerin. I put lotion on my face and scalp right after my shower, and don’t have any itchiness or flakes.
I couldn’t find a shampoo that fixed anything for me.
If you have it on your elbows or knees (very common), you can try Aquaphor at night. That is pretty sticky, but keeps your skin calm and moist.
A dermatologist can give you some prescription lotion/cream, as well. That also works, but it’s typically a small tube and expensive.
Your 20 year old car hasn’t been getting regular software and hardware updates from the manufacturer, though. United has.
You think they’d divulge the intelligence report, thus potentially exposing their sources, to settle Internet arguments?
If it was internal to the US after the investigation when all the involved parties were identified, a la 9/11, then I would expect it. But not in international relations.
Not at all! Most of it goes to excessive force payoffs. And buying surplus military equipment like tanks.
At the beginning of the revolutionary war, militias, minutemen, and even the Continental army relied on soldiers to bring their own weapons from home. They would never have held off British troops long enough to have a revolution at all otherwise. This was an 8 year war, and only after 1776 did they begin to supply the Continental army with arms from France on the regular. Spain as well.
It was absolutely their intention to have regular citizens armed. With nuclear weapons? No. Be serious. With small arms able to be used by one person. To my knowledge, private citizens didn’t have access to cannons at a reliable quantity to count on them in battle.
This is what our flawed founding fathers experienced first hand and amended the Constitution with.
That will never fly as a “middle ground” because the second amendment was never written as a hunter’s law. It’s a Revolutionary, shooting-at-people law that didn’t take into account advances in technology because they didn’t matter.
What they had different were people upset with a government across the ocean and soldiers in their homes, and the only people upset with the colonists were slaves that weren’t allowed guns, education, or freedom. So that made the problem we face way less likely.
Any middle ground like you suggest would take a constitutional amendment and mass adoption, and the ones with the guns that aren’t likely to shoot up the place (Jan 6th excluded) are not keen on either.
I think it’s more along the lines of “I don’t want the other guy to win” so they’d vote for a carrot over the offered Republican, who they know what they stand for. They’d prefer a better Dem, but anything to stem the bleeding.
The mentally deficient ones are the ones that can’t seem to decide when the choices are obvious.
