Worse than that. You bought software licenses specific to that Wii, not to an online account. If it died, you lost all your purchases.

I work in municipal government, and this is the one national case where I haven’t seen any of the police defending the PD. They’re all like “fuck those guys. They let kids die to limit liability insurance rates.”

That’s also most of what’s on Amazon these days.

Doom 2016 was just about perfect. It blended old-shool FPS fundamentals with modern aiming, collectibles, etc.

Politicinaa adapting their positions to be more in-line with the will of the people in order to secure votes is exactly how representative democracy is supposed to work.

Idaho only has prisoners, potatoes, and gun-totin’ white supremacists.

What else are they gonna do?

I’m sorry for what you had to go through, but we’ve advanced a great deal in the last 30 years with regard to social acceptance of homosexuality. Any time you have rapid progress on any issue, you’ll have people whose position changed dramatically in that time period.

Those people should be celebrated. Admitting you’ve been entirely wrong on a social and moral issue is very difficult. By continuing to villify those who change their position to join you in the fight you make it more difficult to gather support.

So - ignoring the time he sent a mob to try and overthrow the US government, how about we use the fact that he literally said he’d be a dictator?

Or maybe the fact that his legal defense against trying to overthrow the government was that the President is immune from all crimes. His lawyers even literally said he could have his political opponents murdered, and so long as the surviving politicians don’t impeach and convict him he can’t be held liable for it.

They’re arguing a legal framework under which he can murder the opposition, and then kill anyone that tries to remove him from office.

We should be able to charge them for ad time. You want to paint an advertisement on my car you have to pay me. Why should it be any different when you want to put ads on my work computer screen when I’m working with clients?

Texas must be soooo mad they don’t have income tax so can’t really do anything about it.

I like the bleep-boo sounds of the command prompt scrolling by on computers.

The “don’t tell” part didn’t apply to third parties.

For me it’s been “I see you bought this specific laser engraver. Would you be interested in buying that exact model?”

No. I already bought it, and it’s not a consumable. If I decided I needed a new laser a week into ownership, it wouldn’t be because I was thrilled with that exact model.

Hidden manual releases that still require you to push the door through the windows trim. FFS people have already died because of this shit. Why the hell hasn’t there been a mandatory recall on all Teslas over this?

I’m a white Christian man in Texas. I know I’m privileged and that that privilege often comes with ignorance, so I used to be really nervous about offending people inadvertently.

But I eventually learned to just ask if I wasn’t sure.

It did help that one of my best friends in college was a black lesbian who transitioned Jr year. I joked with him that he was my token “X” friend.

It’s laziness. Automatics are modified in a way that prevents them from being fully operational as a gun, but not for safety reasons.

They won’t cycle with blank rounds because there’s no backpressure from firing a live round, so they obstruct the barrel to redirect some of the gasses back into the action.

For revolvers, bolt guns, etc that isn’t an issue because they aren’t cycled by recoil or gasses. You can just load a blank and use it.

I do - just not when we’re in the pews.

I will never discuss politics at church in the same way that I will never discuss religion at a City Council meeting. Separation of Church and State is good for both institution.

For me it’s cost and having a place to charge since I rent.

I’m very Christian and am fully supportive of suing over this bullshit.

Forged documents are illegal. Changing laws regarding how electors are selected isn’t.

Heck - way back in 2000 the Supreme Court hinted at the tactic in the majority opinion in Bush v Gore, saying that the Florida legislature probably could have just selected electors directly after the vote.
