  • No. They didn't think they did anything wrong. It's insane, but I'm serious. They are absolutely convinced they are the good guys.

    Which is why they believe they don't deserve to have any consequences. But the evil left will "cancel" them if they're doxxed, and that's just not fair since they were doing the "good" things.

  • Which makes them responsible for any and every crisis directly caused by their opponents. Of course!

    Actually, no. That's pathetic and stupid. Hold the Democrats responsible for the dumb shit they're actually the cause of, and blame the Republicans for their bullshit. Or, I dunno, tilt at windmills like a fucking idiot I guess? You do you. ¯(ツ)/¯

  • My theory is cowardice. Born from constantly being pummelled with fear mongering and propaganda, mind you. But cowardice nonetheless.

    Would directly explain the desperation for a "strong" leader no matter the cost. As well as pave the road to deeper bigotry, misogyny, and plain old fashioned racism; there must be a pretty deep cognitive dissonance to internalize all that fear, but still attempt to maintain that they care about "doing the right thing". Anyway, that psychological torment has to be someone's fault.

    Worst though, is to witness all the evil and suffering coming from this faction and their leaders, but to at the same time know that if I cannot find some level of honest compassion for these individuals, then I have no chance of getting through to them (with some of them, that might not even be possible anymore). Forgive the sinner, not the sin, sure makes it sound simple. Hint: it's not. It's, well, fucked up and awful, to say the least.

    But our options are running out, and without solidarity there will be no viable path forward. The only path left will go in the wrong direction for a terrible distance, involving untold violence and death before there will be any chance to start moving forward again. Even the best of our options sadly will almost certainly involve widespread suffering and loss of life.

    I will do everything I can to hold onto hope. But I will not deny that we all need to do whatever we can to ready ourselves for the worst, and that I cannot let my hope blind me to the truth.

  • Umm, what do you mean it's not. He put his hand on his gun because there are absolutely no consequences for doing so. To put it even more simply, he did it because he can.

    Are you sure you're asking the question you want answered???

  • Pretty sure they now have qualified immunity (and then some) anywhere within like 100 miles of any border or point of entry. Specifically included permission to detain anybody, citizen or not, without any paperwork. At least, best I can remember. It was one of many truly disgusting supreme court rulings in my life.

    Edit: corrected the word "detain"

  • Have you tried different versions of proton? Occasionally I've been able to resolve similar issues by selecting an older version of proton for a specific game, but it's very hit or miss.

  • F**k Amazon, part 2

  • No.

    You're doing none of this.

    You're retroactively applying the motivations of some of the writers of a cartoon to the entire body of work, as well as to somebody taking a single frame out of context.

    You ain't advocating for shit; you're advertising your own high opinion of yourself and disdain for others. You have petty insults, and actually applaud yourself for thinking that is advocating reform.

    Your entire game is reacting to anything you disagree with. You are the perfect example of the word.

    And even if I were opposing social reform (which I'm not; I'm trolling morons on a forum), that's not what reactionary means. Because reactionary behavior exists everywhere on the political spectrum; it has absolutely nothing to do with whether you are "left" or "right". And guess what? Gaslighting is another common tactic of reactionaries. Oops.

  • I heard the frame was made of weaker material to offset the weight of the body (which is utterly ass backwards). This means the shock of the impact will travel through the body instead of into and being absorbed by the frame.

    So, in other words, yup, the front crumpling will shatter the windows.
