  I agree with almost all of your post but I have to say this about open carry.

  I live in Texas . I occasionally see people open carry. If I see someone open carrying, I tend to avoid them.

  It’s as stupid as seeing someone walking around with a sword or a big knife. You call yourself out and make yourself a target.

  Everyone around you suddenly knows you have the power of life and death over them but have no idea what kind of person you are. That can produce fear, and at the very least, make some uncomfortable.

  It’s also not a statement of strength. It is a statement of fear. I fear that those around me may do me harm, so I want to be able to protect myself from them and show them I have the power to do so.

  It separates you from the people around you.

  Conceal carry, great, no one gives a shit, but as soon as you open carry, you may as well have a flashing neon sign saying, “Look at me, look at me!”

  It attracts all the wrong kind of attention.

  I am not saying you fall in that group, I do not know you at all, but that has been my anecdotal experience in Texas

  Free speech does not protect damaging property anyway.

  I agree with the guy’s message, but all of y’all are having a hard time understanding how the legal system is supposed to work.

  Justice is supposed to be blind and proceed according to the law.

  If you don’t like the law, that’s where, you, as a citizen, and through your legislature, amend/create those laws.

  That is why it is important to watchdog your legislators. They are the ones that are allowing this shit to happen in the first place.

  Am I glad he was aquiited, absolutely. But the judge wasn’t wrong either.

  Man, I love that fucking line, “Never again is now”.

  That was the first time I ever donated to a campaign. It was Bernie’s campaign (and AI was a card carrying Republican).

  Then I watched what Hillary’s campaign did and have refused to give any money to any campaign ever again.

  That’s the only election I didn’t vote.

  I have been voting Democrat down ticket ever since (as a protest vote) and wondering how the fuck everyone got so fucking stupid.

  Fuck the money. We need to eat every fucking billionaire/mega millionaire. There is no other way.

  They want to survive? They need to give their shit up and live like the rest of us

  Yeah, I don’t know shit about DC and I was fine not having any real background on anyone. Krypto especially.

  After watching Supergirl though, I was annoyed.

  I liked the plot, but it was too shallow and heavy handed. They could have spent a little more time on the writing. The bad guy was absolutely one dimensional and completely forgettable.

  Also, so many deus ex machina macguffins. I guess you need to when you have a “Kryptonian” but they should have just kept her on a red planet and had her deal with everything without her super powers.

  Then after she wins, have her get to a yellow sun and do super stuff for the fans. But the 72 hour poison, kryptonite darts, “Krem has the strength of a thousand men”, … that was just so lame.

  Where is their production money going because it’s clearly not being spent on writing?

  Tap for spoiler

  At least she killed someone. So tired of homicidal maniacs being “brought in for justice.”

  The only thing ignorant is your comment.

  It’s how they get access to all your data for scraping.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saving⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft will not allow you to enable the auto save feature unless the location is part of OneDrive.

  You can manually save to a local store, but that is it.

  There are some work around, but it shouldn’t be necessary in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Geese, why are you like this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No joke, that’s how I defended myself on our farm.

  Granted I didn’t punt them like that, but I would give them a good healthy kick to push them back if they really got a hair up their ass.

  We had five, named after the Marx brothers.

  They were generally ornery, occasionally vicious, but we never had a single issue with predators and our chickens.

  I never understood why, after years, they NEVER, ever chilled out with me. Fucking assholes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My grandmother had a pantry like this in her basement and did the same thing. She religiously shopped deals/coupons, and stocked up on things when they were cheap. These days, I can’t find a place with a pantry bigger than a coat closet. So, like you, we turned a spare room closet into a long term pantry.

  I’m an EE with utility clients. If a lineman/wireman started making the same as me, I would feel the same way.

  All the money is sucked out by equity holders.

  This economy makes me think of Hamilton’s “Dragon”, where everyone sank most of their paycheck back into the company to get a high enough “stake”, to even get a chance at a meaningful job, at said company.

  I’m not even sure when this good little Republican became radicalized. I’ve done pretty well for myself and yet I would happily watch it all burn down to the fucking ground if it meant everyone actually got a meaningful standard of living and healthcare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After 9/11 America was afraid of a Improvised Nuclear Something made out of used uranium. How would that work? Just get a piece of dynamite and some nuke dust and light the dynamite?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the biggest concern is inhaling or ingesting the “dirty” material. Our skin does a pretty good job providing some protection against the low levels of the alpha emissions of depleted uranium. However, if you were too inhale or ingest, then you face direct absorption, which carries significantly higher risk.

  Do you need help?

  If that is what you truly believe then I fear that you are a danger to yourself and others and should not be trusted to be alone or around children. There are a lot of resources available to use, even in the U.S.

  I implore you to seek help from professionals.

  So my experience accounts for nothing?

  So even though I’ve lost access to multiple titles because other software companies can’t get their shit together and were a terrible experience, I’m not allowed to use that as an example of why Valve has become the standard?

  But any argument against your opinion is “simping”.

  Do you even hear yourself?

  What you are doing is a form of manipulation and gaslighting.

  Those things Valve was sued over were also industry standard practices.

  Your argument is awash with emotional outbursts which tells the real story here.

  You’ve picked a side for one reason or another and just make bad arguments, trying to support it.

  Show me a single game company, of that size, that HASN’T been sued. Since that seems to be your metric of what makes a company so evil.
