I imagined it was because they wanted to use the fridge as a battering ram to knock it out of the wall or simply rip it down with their bare hands but alas the studs won out.

I will say I found plenty of pics of him seeming to enjoy himself when looking for the past ones I saw. The best one is probably this one
ironically it’s from a video about how they’re returning home though lol

I guarantee you he has tried to nuke Iran multiple times already. The brass keeps turning him down (which is why Hogsack has such freewill to fuck up the military command structure) and his handlers don’t want the bad PR of trying to nuke. Not that his base would mind, but even being denied to nuke would make him look weak and some people might cross the aisle at that point.

can’t believe I had to scroll down so far to see the only real answer for the best/most effective one. All the other ones are just spot welded on and the disc won’t spin. Only downside is if you’re trying to cut something like a deep dish but at that depth all of them will have issues.

I don’t get people sometimes. Here’s a hollywood elite who thinks they have the ability to physically assault another person (and so fucking brazenly in front of the whole world) and never be held responsible. Fuck Will Smith and anything he profits from including recognition of past performances. Comments in here are acting like a bunch of wannabe-nostalgia-cucks who don’t care as long as the individual did a silly little dance and entertained them some. Dude needs serious rehabilitation and a reality check which will never come to him because people would rather talk about his performances instead of the actual person.

You’re joking… but look into “brightline” with the Florida shit show and how they’re now getting further public subsidiaries to make a “profitable” HSR (highspeedrail) between CA and NV. Doing exactly what you’re stating but with their ears plugged while screaming as loud as they can.

Wait, are we suppose to be in favor of the first one? I think like maybe a 25% tone down/declutter of the one on the right is a good sweet spot that’s comfy and livable.

I was interested to look up the stats since I didn’t know and there were downvotes, just gotta say the domestic violence statistics is both crazy high and confusing. It seems every site uses it’s own selections of datasets to come up with way different statistics.
- Comment on What's your test for people? 6 months ago:
Just wanted to put in a counter for what a lot of people are saying in here, if you’re looking for a “perfect-clone friend” right out the gate then prepared to be lonely as your tests fail… not because they’re horrible people, but because they’re a different person with different experiences.
The person litters (like @tiramichu@sh.itjust.works suggested)? Probably see’s their entire family litter constantly and never gets comments or maybe even once got reprimanded for saying not to litter to an elder. Just ask them not to when they’re in your vehicle, take into account their reaction and maybe have a conversation about it? (personal experience, just let me friend know it was lame and he stopped doing it. But now his vehicle is a roaming trashcan so I guess take what you can get)
You can be friends with people who are different or were raised differently than you, it’s actually super beneficial! Now if it’s a constant argument or it’s turned into a negative experience every time and communication isn’t working… it might be useful to move on for everyone’s sake at that point.

I do the clean up thing just because I don’t like having a bunch of shit in front of me all spread out. I think it’s years of having to clean up my stations and desks so I can actually function so it’s just habitual. We should be taking into consideration that this might not be helpful at all to the worker if these other comments are to be believed.

Only two avenues I could see nothing being hypocritical, signing it over/forming a co-op or doing rent-to-own with rent control and everything being transferable to “next of kin” upon some kind of accidental death.

- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 7 months ago:
By your very same logic then what’s been portrayed in media for decades for “standard” relationships has manipulated lgbtq+ into being straight when they are not.
It’s clear by your terminology use, way off-base side rants, and continued use of impractical/inappropriate metaphors that you just don’t care or are willing to try and understand. You hold heterosexual relationships above all else and nothing will change that. Luckily your kind of limited exposure and thoughts are now in the “abnormal” minority.

- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 7 months ago:
Oh man! You’ve just giving me something that I think will really help stoke the fire in my relationship!
I’ve never really been into sexual roleplay and it’s one of the things my partner previously expressed an interest in. We regularly game together either doing co-op or single player since we feel it’s more engaging sometimes than zoning out on a movie., so the recommendations like “Leap of Love” sounds like the perfect gaming/drinking night that might kinda dip into the roleplaying aspect!
I really wish I claimed it when I saw it, just a few clicks and I’m kicking myself for it now. Are there any others you or anyone else would recommend that are more fantasy roleplay focused and might be good for two people?
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 7 months ago:
I don’t think replying to you is helpful but I stuck my foot in this so I might as well try.
If you were actually being fair and equal to everyone then your stance would be, “NO child should be exposed to ANY type of relationship dynamic”. Or only those that you feel are “positive” examples (highlighting your stance that any lgbtq+ partnership is inherently negative and damaging to a child’s development).
I think the problem of how you perceive people responding to you is the misclassification or simple lack of knowledge in history of what you call “non-standard partners”. Nature is not familiar with “standard partners”, Sappho is an interesting read from 600 BC (and a great meme community), Ancient Greece felt differently than you do today about “traditional relationships”,
Ancient Greece excerpt
> In the cultures of the ancient world, there was no need for designations such as LGBTQ+ because there was no difference noted between what is now defined as “homosexual” and “heterosexual” relationships. There was no “us” and “them” dichotomy to encourage such labels; there was only “us” and whoever one chose to love was one’s own business. (link)
For a more modern take, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs from 1860’s which they consider the first modern gay right’s movement advocate. Astonishingly about the same time the US abolished slavery.
Currently the population consists of about 23% of newer generations proudly stating they are lgbtq+, I suspect largely in part because of the de-stigmatizing of such relationships that religious fervor and right-wing ideology demonized because of the “traditional values” (which is horse shit because traditional is subjective).
tl;dr: Kids are curious and actually have feelings they are developing, some of which is attraction to a class-mate in elementary school (wtf is valentines day then?). If they don’t see any representation and people respond like you do to “non-standard” relationships, they develop the same core concepts as you’ve come to embolden making them feel ashamed and causing more confusion then just a simple conversation they should have with an adult.
The fact that they can be exposed in public but should not be in media is just a weird stance to take (especially when parents can dictate what a child consumes or at least should be proactive in that space). We’re also completely negating the fact that less people are exposed to the overall public and moreso only interact in small circles online especially with adolescents.

It seems like you’re giving of a “victim” vibe with this by stating you wished for only a particular type of “positive response” when you’ve posted a misleading comment and doubled-down with “EULAs half the people in this thread have already clicked thru” which you have no way of knowing.

StormGate - Privacy Policy and End User Agreement. Is this just the new industry standard to avoid? (post made by me 10 months ago)
Why don’t you see it more?
Steam Discussion deleted after questioning the “EULA” of Stormgate, another post by me after I tried to inform others and was suppressed, meaning the reviews is the only course of action that most have at their disposal. Even posting on their official subreddit did no good with the exact same type of response you’ve presented here,
Why am I consenting to have my “Medical Information”, “Browser/Search History”, “Social Security/Drivers License number”, “Geolocation and movements”, and more collected to play Stormgate? (22k members, only 122 upvotes)
(the responses)
- They didn’t collect such information (they technically couldn’t), they are giving examples of such types of personally identifiable information.
- Yeah, it’s excessive, they don’t need half of this. However, writing it this way makes it near impossible for them to screw up by accident. If you play games, you probably agreed to a handful of ELUA’s like that by now.
- This keeps getting brought up in every controversial game these days and the answer is always the same: They aren’t.

- Comment on Philips to Offer Free Downloadable Files to 3D Print Replacement Parts - Core77 10 months ago:
I’ve been on this train for a while that governmental organizations like the Bureau of Consumer Protections needs to have a site where all manuals, blue-prints, and technical specs need to be required to sell consumer products. I want to be able to 3d print or easily provide a machining service with the specs for a part ESPECIALLY when the original manufactures discontinue any type of support.
Same goes for all software or digital services that someone has purchased but the company folds or discontinues. I should be able to run my own servers or basic services off my own setup when that company no longer provides what I paid for.
