Sounds like a fuckin banger of an existence
- Comment on idk abbout this one discord 6 days ago:
lol, the data breach part is super real. Them actually searching for it for your authentication isn’t.
Never not fucking ever will I ever upload any ID to any internet anything. I don’t like using my bank card online. Or in person. Cash is king baby, all else is bullshit and giving fuckers new and exciting ways to steal your shit
- Comment on idk abbout this one discord 6 days ago:
So sad to me that craigslist, or even just fucking yard sales, and cash seem to be going down in use in the states. Cash is king, baby

jesus fucking tell me about it. When the internet was the domain of the nerd doing cool shit because it was cool, instead of… ugh
- Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐 1 week ago:
Controversial and debated; IE, some duechebag propositioned this whole concept, and since he’s rich and white and old, it’s gotten a bit of traction, and he absolutely does think autistic folks are stupid, But! The vast majority of anyone in the field with two functioning brain cells to rub together know he’s full of shit and are working on refuting him, because the aforementioned class he’s in means he didn’t get immediately laughed out of the room or simply blatantly ignored like he should’ve been.
Like any of the abysmal drivel that falls out of jordan peterson’s mouth

Congratulations, anon.
The link between citing your sources, for why you’re thinking what you’re thinking, and not copy/pasting said sources, is in fact fairly smart. Almost intellectual.

And just for the record, passenger in a warthog was my FAVORITE position in the truck. In Halo 1.
Sure, it’s less effective, but it’s way more accurate. Actually feels like riding shotgun, where you can’t see everything, and you sure as shit don’t have a stable firing platform. Super fun. In game.
The number of of times the passenger with the rocket launcher murked our own damn selves was… More than one. lol
Did you know, you can basically feed the warthog rocket fuel? Unfortunately, the speed boost usually kills the occupants

One of the best I still somehow remember vaguely:
Down to 1v1, happens while T is planting. He pulls knife, bangs it on stuff. CT pulls knife, runs in.
They dance in the zone, and T just dodges and gets close and dodges and gets close and milks time till the bomb won. So good.

Blood Gulch, obviously
We tried ghosts, but they’re so much harder to tip it didn’t really work. Though the matches where someone tried a ghost vs warthog were usually pretty good.
get murked. ghost back out to your old hog, get yeeted, lure the opponent into the trap in the cave, heave a well placed grenade, and steal his hog. Murder the fuck for his troubles

Also so good from back in the day it got turned into a forced standard on some servers: Down to 1V1 in CS? Knife fight about it
So fucking good. sometimes the bomb won. sometimes one guy was an asshole and shot the other guy

This sounds great

Jesus christ

Demolition Derby in Halo.
No shooting, you get in the Hog and wreck the other fucker out of their rig, then run them over. Frag grenades sometimes legal, depending on who you were playing with.
Played a 4 player variant where the passenger got a rocket launcher-no gunner
- Comment on WHY??? 2 weeks ago:
Incredible.
When my drill bits are super, super dull, they make smooth triangles. Like triangular shaped holes, with no true points or flat edges. If I get crooked while laying on it and drilling (not uncommon with a dull-ass bit) two lobes will stand out more clearly than the side I’m not leaning towards.
Not hexagons, and sure as hell not cones.
Now if they’re sharp, it’s just a fucking hole. Circular. Like they’re supposed to be
Buy me new drill bits. for science

Neverfucking mind captain flag my buddy, front and center
- Comment on Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago 2 months ago:
And these fucking pukes get m4’s?
I was active combat duty for a year, getting shot at DAILY and I had to suck it up and try to fucking kajigger a full size fucking garbage ass m16 out the fucking hatch to return fire
Fuck everything about this

Literally over ten years ago, they wanted a photo of my government ID.
Haven’t had an account since
- Comment on I hate the modern web 8 months ago:
I get that from searches on ddg, no vpn.
RDX still works, it the only way I can search reddit now
- Comment on Anon uses Discord 8 months ago:
Discord specifically has a skip to most recent post button, that i use frequently on the busier ones, because I’m not scrolling through two miles of unrelated nonsense and sub-convos to get to what’s currently relevant.
Am I guilty of thoughtcrime?
- Comment on Anon is a good samaritan 1 year ago:
And how, precisely, am I supposed to tell random fucking jackoffs like in the story?
None of you fucks even know what a DNR is, means, what it looks like, and not a single one of you cunts could be expected to uphold it even if you were told.
You don’t get a special bracelet. This isn’t the ‘life alert’ infomercial. Tattoos mean absolutely nothing to medical professionals.
You literally have to have a DNR on file, active, in your county of residence, and they have to look it up. Which will not happen until you’re already admitted.
And if you get sent to a hospital in a different county? Because you’re visiting family or something? You’re fucked. You’re on a machine, keeping you alive. As long as your shitty relatives feel like it.
I have no desire to die incoherent in a hospital with no concept of what’s going on other than everything is uncomfortable. And with the united state’s version of healthcare, I will have to make sure I die somewhere else.
When I die, it isn’t fucking about you
- Comment on So now I have to PAY you to NOT store files on my device that I don't want? 1 year ago:
Imagine, if you will, a world where things weren’t shitty for the sake of being shitty.
Where perhaps, good things could just be good.
- Comment on Why isnt there an aftermarket way to bulk up pinch welds jack points on cars 1 year ago:
I mean, yeah I am. I don’t trust a shop to do it
- Comment on Element in water heater died; less than two months old. 1 year ago:
Ah yes, thousands and of other products built to be as or more disposable than the first element that blew.
Why do the boats keep coming, filled to the brim with garbage you never actually needed?
- Comment on Why isnt there an aftermarket way to bulk up pinch welds jack points on cars 1 year ago:
This must be on modern monstrosities, I’ve literally never encountered this.
The newest vehicle I’ve ever had was a 95, and I am entirely unimpressed with anything made before 93
- Comment on Hope I won't regret this: Does anyone here live in a van? 1 year ago:
Whelp, I’m in the US.
Have lived in a pickup (a little old 90’s toyota-great truck), a school bus, a stepvan, on the back of a bicycle, and now a school bus again.
There were a couple apartments and a few warehouses smattered between them.
I’d love to visit Australia someday, met some funny fuckers from there.
I do think the US lends itself pretty well to living in vehicles, as much as it is shunned. As long as you keep moving and present cleanly, nobody generally has a clue. But all our infrastructure is built for vehicles, and it’s just…super easy nowadays, honestly.
Like I have constant power and internet. Garbage and wastewater is as simple as stopping for fuel.
Amazon dropboxes for buying bullshit online.
Homeless? Fuck no. I built this into my home. The state just wants me to have an address so they can send the tax man and cops in the door. Fuck them

I bet you like nuclear.
- Comment on Element in water heater died; less than two months old. 1 year ago:
Cool, when those heating elements are shipped over here via bunker fuel. I’ll bet a boatload of those coming over is more emissions than running a NG burner for a decade
- Comment on Element in water heater died; less than two months old. 1 year ago:
I’ll quit using gas the day shipping vessels go back to being fucking wind powered
- Comment on Element in water heater died; less than two months old. 1 year ago:
I think you completely misunderstood their response.
Swapping a heating element is easy.
Running some pipe is also easy.
Whether the OP has gas running to the house is a whole other question
