  • I could have sworn there was a mod for one of the GTA games that replaces the model/skin of the grenades with can of biscuit dough. You’d throw it, it’d roll and do nothing for a sec, then there would be no actual explosion, but that muffled splat sound the cans make and some dough would squeeze out from the seams.

    …but the everything else responded normally as they would to a grenade; so a can of biscuit dough popping would still send people ragdolling away from it, cause cars to explode, etc.

    Maybe it was just a parody gif someone made and not an actual mod? I can’t find it. Q_Q




  • Political violence, regardless of ideology, is not the answer and must be condemned.

    Love ya Bernie, but I gotta disagree on this one. What he’s saying is pretty much just more ‘paradox of tolerance’ that leads to the ratchet clicking further right.

    People keep shunning what happened to Kirk as a crazy extreme response to a “difference of opinion” as though we’re discussing a budget proposal for a new bridge or something. And yeah, with shit like that there’s a justifiable argument to be made by both sides.

    When the ‘opinion’ being advocated for is one that seeks to deny life or liberty because of their skin color or gender or w/e, it stops being a debate and instead becomes a fight for survival. That person is literally an enemy combatant spending their life trying to kill you. And when someone is trying to kill you, violence is absolutely a justifiable response.

    …and I know that’s not why the shooter killed Kirk, but even if it was a dark skinned /gay/trans/muslim/<insert target of right wing bigotry here> who shot Kirk in response to his vitriol toward them, that’s still fucking justified because he spent his life promoting violence to those people.

    So no, if your ideology is that you hate people because of what’s in their pants or the color of their skin or w/e, then you’re a piece of shit; if you act on that ideology, then you’re an existential threat to those people, and if that culminates with a bullet in your carotid artery then your death will mark a sudden reduction of evil and hatred - and that is worth celebrating.

    Evil fuckers like Charlie Kirk should never be tolerated.






  • The more he abuses his authority over the military, the more likely it is that one of them will act against illegal orders. They are under oath to “defend the constitution from all threats, foreign and domestic” - there isn’t a snip after that last but saying “unless the domestic threat is the POTUS”.

    The past year has shown us that our troops don’t actually take that oath very seriously, but they also aren’t just mindless stormtroopers. The military is a slice of the rest of society, to include political affiliation and loyalty to our nation. All we need is for a single one of them to recognize Trump as the domestic enemy to the US that he is.

    Will it happen? Probably not. It hasn’t yet. But the more pressure Trump puts on them to attack their own country, the more likely it is one of them will finally step up to take action.



  • That’s like asking why someone with a tumor is calling for a surgeon to cut it out, even if that person isn’t themself a surgeon.

    Lots of people would be extremely uncomfortable watching a major surgery, but that doesn’t and shouldn’t stop them from coming to the OR when they need one. Nor should they be forced to see footage of their operation.

    We have a fascism problem, and personally I’m thankful we have people with the aptitude and fortitude to address it, regardless of my own ability or lack thereof in that area.



  • And he instantly went into the “fencing response” pose

    That was what stood out to me the most. Just blood? Someone could poke a finger into that and mitigate the lethality by a ton. But the involuntary response to sudden pain is put your hands on it and guard it… Kirk’s hands raised a bit, then kinda just flopped, which has me wondering if that bullet went in through the carotid and then blew his fucking spinal cord in half. Total loss of motor control.

    …pretty sure that also means he shat and pissed himself on the way down.

    This is the correct way to address Nazis.
