I’d give for free if they gave it for free. They rip people off for the stuff I freely gave? No, I’ll take a few bucks out of their profit, thanks.

Besides, I usually can’t donate anyway but I give that shit all the time when I can. Especially when I know where it’s being used (for free.)

A neighbor runs his own plumbing company. He’s got an early 2000s Dodge and formerly an early 2000s Ford.

His main complaint about modern trucks, after the price, is the bed being too high for him to easily load and unload equipment.

My mom and I beat the game after about a million runs when it came out. I still have flashbacks to the boomboxes and muffins.

The La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo?

WHAT A PRETTY MEME!

DOD Imagery guidelines state that only color correction can be applied to “make the image appear the same as it was when it was captured” otherwise it must be labeled “DOD illustration” instead of “DOD Imagery”

Right? I thought I went crazy when I got to “I just used Generative Fill!” Like, he didn’t just auto adjust the exposure and black levels! C’mon!

Well, if there’s massive ecological collapse and mass extinction events abound, there’s honestly no way to know if we’ll survive or not. To claim we’ll survive when climatic changes are currently killing off everything is the opinion of someone who uses the Bible as evidence of human supremacy.

Worst case, the centipedes will probably take over again… If they make it too.

I’m about 75% for violence because I’m a lunatic who would always knock down the 300s in any weather but I’m 25% against it because my dumb ass misses the 50s sometimes and I know Urban ops are in that range.

Also because war is absolute hell on the best days and something I hope I never need to show any proficiency in again.

Honestly, you gotta be a real piece of shit to get a DD normally, think rape or murder… Well, enough rape and murder they don’t cover it up.

That or smoke some weed.

Either way, “less than honorable” is the ‘easiest’ way to get rid of a complete fuck up.

The real monsters have an honorable though.

I mean, I’d rather he have no kids, so I agree that him being the father should be an exception.

In a world where Sony and Embracer are running around saying we need to be paying $70+ for games (while tipping the devs and buying micro transactions like a good like wallet)… You’re mad at the storefront?

Yeah, go into Walmart and demand they take less of a cut so… The publisher can take more from the devs?

Gabe is rich because he spearheaded a good service (which I’ll admit I thought was a scam back when I was forced to make an account way back when I had dial up) but… 30% is standard. For the price of games? Be mad at Embracer. Be mad at EA. You’re free to not like or use Steam but they let the publishers set the price. Their cut is a drop in the bucket. The whole ‘cut’ debate is just EGS propaganda.

Different guy but I’ve got over 2,700 games on Steam thanks to sales… So I’ve probably saved at least one thousand… Maybe not two, unless we count not buying for Star Citizen as a savings!

I asked my buddy at work how he was doing and he said “I need to get this money, ya know? It’s tight.” Meanwhile, he’s paying weekly for what I pay monthly for a car. My phones are always bought secondhand and for the most part I only blow money on videogames.

You can be “doing good” financially because you make enough money to afford the lifestyle you want while “living paycheck to paycheck” because you spend 100% on your lifestyle.

My office phone has a dial tone. It’s VOIP but when you pick up the receiver it BOOOOOOOPs… So I think it was last week I heard one…

Hopefully not for the last time…

Hmmm… A department of Justice press release written in 2021 praising a current administration effort. Sounds like something that must be 100% factual and not written for any other reason than pure truthiness.

I was gonna say “Clearly you’ve never been in the desert!” but then you mentioned playing in the sandbox and I get that.

That said, even in Texas, a good 90% of the summer is “Going outside will sting, staying outside will burn in a matter of moments” weather. I’ve had those 110°+ days and those “So far below zero the LCDs in your car freeze” days of Upstate NY during a lake effect blizzard and all I can say is, both suck.

That said, I prefer the cold. This is coming from a prior cold weather injury as well but I fall back on “No bad weather, just bad gear.”

Hey, you can easily get them up to 50mph on an airfield runway and feel the death rattle telling you to slow down. It’s basically all operator error.

Tall but narrower than other options while having survivability in case of getting IED’d. I know HMMWVs are actually big but the MRAPs didn’t all have a much larger footprint.

Fun fact though, they had to add a gunners harness because the gunners were more likely to die in a roll over. Armored plates all up over your back but you get crushed because the Specialist driving hasn’t even driven anything bigger than his Civic and doesn’t have enough hours dealing with actual Afghan roads.

DOD doesn’t want to pay upkeep and it was designed for roadside bombs in remote mountains not Iranian drones.

Might as well give it to the cops, in case one of their supporters accidentally hits it while trying to bomb a women’s shelter or something.
