Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half.

Bullets, even from small handguns, travel a very long distance very fast until they hit something. This is exceptionally negligent. It doesn’t matter how many bystanders there were. The most common round used in handguns is a 9mm, and it travels at upwards of 1300 feet per second and can travel for miles. No one’s life was in immediate danger, there was no reason to discharge a firearm in public. I’ve owned guns all my life and it’s negligent things like this that make responsible owners and competent police look bad.

But their charge was WITH them. There was no immediate danger. If you’re worried about the vehicle being tampered with, you call in another one. You don’t open fire in the vicinity of a market on a Sunday. Unless something inside that vehicle is a matter of national security or someone was in it, there is zero justification for opening fire. I say this as a lifelong gun owner, this is exceptionally negligent. You do not discharge your weapon at someone, especially in public, unless there are lives in danger, especially in a populated area where you do not know who or what are further down range.

Are we not acknowledging that an agent opened fire on people for breaking into a vehicle? There’s no danger to anyone’s life yet a Secret Service agent just opens fire in public where, based on the article, there were likely hundreds of other citizens around shopping.

Me children what?

Get the fuck out of here with your Tucker Carlson “I’m just asking questions” bullshit. The little kids table is to the left of the soft serve machine.

I did that. There were no options, just a dialogue saying they had refunded me a couple dollars for a price mismatch. But no button to report an issue on the app or web, no chat, no email or phone number. Just a Contact Us form that I filled out and submitted with all the information nearly a month ago, and no one from GrubHub has reached out. I finally just did a chargeback a couple days ago.

Yeah, let me know how to get GrubHub to even respond to a support request for an order that never arrived, much less refund me and then you can tell me GrubHub is better. I had an order that was never delivered on Sept 23 and GrubHub has still not responded to or refunded me. At least with Doordash or UberEats I can get issues with my order addressed almost immediately.

I’d tend to disagree that MAGA people haven’t had a hard life. Many have been stuck in a cycle of poverty (of arguably their own creation by voting for politicians that lie to and exploit them) for generations, and MAGA talking points speak right to their frustration. Cults in general seek out vulnerable individuals and exploit that to their own means. MAGA politicians continue the cycle while blaming liberal policies, so they’re just reinforcing the Republican lie to a new generation of voters.

Fawkes wanted to bring down the Church of England fascist monarchy in order to replace it with a Catholic fascist state. It’s the equivalent of a Sunni terrorist group trying to overthrow a Shiite government and replace it with their own. He’s a terrorist, not a hero.

Now V on the other hand, was a great role model…one second, I’m being told V was also a domestic terrorist who murdered anyone who disagreed with him. I know it’s super cool and edgy to scrawl an anarchy A on your notebook and act like V was a superhero, but if you actually watch and absorb what’s happening in that story, he’s no better than the people he’s fighting against.

Guy Fawkes was a sectarian domestic terrorist. Sounds just like modern day MAGA to me.

Love this logic by them. If I commit a crime in a state I’m not a resident in, they can’t touch me! She headed up Trump’s businesses while he was in office and those businesses are heavily entrenched in NYC.

Probably a kernel update that required a reboot, then a bunch more updates that had a dependency on the new kernel. I usually just click update when I jump on in the morning and let it do its thing before I get started for the day.

No, Apple can begin supporting RCS and play nice with other phones (not just Android) using a modern, encrypted, and open messaging platform. But they choose to fall back to SMS intentionally in order to market their devices as superior.

Eh? RCS is an open standard. Yes, you’re basically required to use Google’s RCS endpoints at this point unless you want to host your own, but it’s far superior to SMS. Apple made their own proprietary version in iMessage instead, so you have iPhones on iMessage and every other phone in the world on RCS.

It very much is a difference. If you’ve ever worked a corporate job, the relationship between devs and execs is exactly the same as a publisher and studio relationship. The devs did not want to release the game yet, nor do I think they wanted to support legacy consoles, but the shareholders forced that on them.

IIRC, CDPR had delayed it a number of times for just that reason, but were eventually pressured into releasing earlier than they wanted. On PC, there were some minor issues that were quickly patched, but none that negatively affected my playthrough.

A lot of the hate was undeserved, IMO. Besides one absolutely hilarious bug where I called my ride in an odd place, and another where part of a mission didn’t trigger so I had to reload the last Autosave which was about 30 seconds back, the game ran well for me and a lot of friends at launch. And CDPR responded quickly and had patches out within a week fixing most of the gameplay affecting bugs.

I typically judge games pretty harshly, and my only experience with CDPR prior was Witcher 3, which dropped with some bugs but was patched within a week, and really didn’t understand the level of shade CDPR received.

I could see a handmade, hardwood lectern by a local artisan reaching that price point, and I think that’s totally reasonable for something that could be used for more than a century. Bonus, you’re giving back to the residents of your state by buying local.

But nah, this thing looks like cheaper garbage than some of the furniture I owned in college. $900 is a stretch.

You’re being very pedantic about something very unimportant. Sometimes it’s best to just let it go.
