I mean I don’t wanna play “Blame the victim”, but, come the fuck on…

You can’t say you don’t want to do something then proceed to do it. I mean, you can but obviously if you didn’t want to play the card you could have chosen not to play it.

That’s coming from someone that commits the same sin at times but I’m trying hard to curb that.

If you’re going to say you don’t want to do something just don’t do it.

Also, our civil liberties should be protected everywhere, the institution is in the wrong here. Just because someone has a particular gender identity should not matter.

Just because big automobile is out to get you.

Idk I think because of how much force needs to be contained by the restraint it is rigid for a reason. My guess is there is an engineering reason based on physics.

Also you don’t want people to be falling asleep while driving (anymore than already happens) so maybe that’s a factor too? Like it’s not meant to be a pillow lol

True some can’t adjust the angle, but obviously none of them protrude the ridiculous amount shown in the post.

I’m not sure how this isn’t a joke, clearly it’s a riff on how headrests can be weirdly uncomfortable at times. Anyways, if you’re chilling with your head against that the whole time you’re driving you’re not doing it right.

OP is making a joke, I’m sure they’re aware headrests move and none actually look like the post lol.

Agree.

Also people seem to think the head rests are there for you to constantly be resting your head on but they are head restraints.. They’re there so you don’t break your neck if you get in an accident - not to be comfy on a long drive.

If you’re cool with McDonald’s knowing your location (or at least an approximation of it, not sure how much data gets passed through) keep it turned on.

The app has geofencing tech so when you get close enough to the restaurant they’ll start making it. I’ve had mine ready when I get there most of the time. Of course that depends on how busy they are but just fyi

Isn’t that literally everyone who owns digital games? All your shit on Steam is a license to use the software, you don’t actually own any of those games.

I mean, I get the point, cosmetics and such and anything virtual is not tangible in the real world but let’s not pretend we aren’t all doing that with every game we spend money on.

Having said that, the amount of money companies charge for some of this stuff is outrageous. Luckily, nobody is pointing a gun to your head forcing you to buy it!

What movie did you watch? That’s a terrible take on it. I’m not sure how you could even think that’s the message. That’s like literally the opposite of the movie’s message.

That’s awesome, best wishes! Sorry about your medical situation, I get stress/anxiety myself so can commiserate.

I’m not down voting you and I applaud chasing your dreams, but a well paying, stable, fully remote job is not something to give up lightly.

Maybe that’s why people are down voting you? Not that they should but people be people.

Personally, I’m just some schlub on the internet, but I’d strongly advise you to reconsider leaving that kind of financial stability. At the very least you’ll need a pretty good amount of money saved up to live off of. Most indie games aren’t successful, most indie game companies fail. There’s a gigantic risk for you and a huge lost opportunity cost (your income & benefits, particularly benefits like health insurance if you’re in the USA) just to get started and on top of that you have to make something people want to buy.

Not doubting your talents but people would kill to be in your spot (remote, well paid, full time) - I’d think long and hard about the risk you’re accepting.

I do, however, wish you well and hope you succeed beyond your wildest expectations! Just something to chew on.

I can appreciate that, I just simp for the admech. They do follow a religious order that’s seeped into everything but just because they’re theatrical doesn’t mean they’re ignorant of how things are working. It just means they fix stuff with style!

On the other hand there definitely is the tech that is unknown and they have a hard time reproducing really good lost tech from the ancient times. Ok maybe they just have a bachelor’s! 😅

Bruh did you make admech the highschool diploma? The ones literally responsible for the tech in the whole Imperium? Come on they’re at least masters!!

they should have [thing that already exists]

Nobody reads the article though…

But they rolled out electricity, and they rolled out PSTN, so the justification was found in those cases.

Yeah, the justification was the federal government basically forcing providers to do that. Remember back in 2008 when we handed a bunch of money to telecom companies to expand their networks? Then they laughed at us and just kept the money and basically said fuck you? That also was a part of this act, or at least related to it, since broadband was added to it as an amendment in 2008.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Electrification_Act

Anyways, point being the companies didn’t roll our electricity and pstn to rural areas out of the goodness of their heart or even a strict profit motive. It took a literal act of congress for it to happen.

Okay I didn’t watch the video until looking at your link and saw the whole “he started saying migrant wrong” bullshit and was like, “okay maybe that is what happened.”. No, this dude straight throws a hard r n word out casually, unmistakable as anything else.

Like I said you’re either a troll or a bot, but either way you definitely aren’t making any sense. When I read an article about something completely unrelated it doesn’t make something else more real. Because that’s madness.

Yeah … No that’s not true at all. It’s crazy that you even believe that. I mean, I don’t think you do, I think you’re a troll with an agenda because believing that is insane.

The only gaslighting going on is by the MAGA folks and QAnon conspiracy crowd. The reasonable people understand this is made up bullshit. Fuck even JD Vance just said it’s made up.

I’m educated enough to know you’re either deep in a hole of disinformation / misinformation or on Russia’s side. We learned that appeasement doesn’t work with Nazi Germany and other examples, Russia being the latest.

If you know of the history and issues of Russia and Ukraine then you’d know they’re intrinsically linked to the USA and “Western” interests going pretty far back. Plus lots of trade flows through Ukraine and they export a ton of food - it’s important to lots of innocent people who are also impacted by the war even if it’s not by blood loss. The costs in lives is too high but also the costs in material, in trust, in future cooperation between nations has been eroded by Putin’s actions.

I can believe that because I think Putin doesn’t necessarily want to start WW3. But he has indicated that it wouldn’t have stopped him as well

You can’t have it both ways. It’s either he would or would not have. I think recent history has shown the exact opposite of what you claim Putin indicated. Nobody has invaded a NATO country because it works. That’s why the reaction from Finland and Sweden to this Russian invasion was to join NATO after so many years of not being a part of it even bordering the USSR. They know Putin won’t dare attack a member of that alliance. Clearly neutrality did not work when it came to Ukraine. Nor did appeasement, we’re paying for not being tougher in 2016 but the time between then and 2022 was spent strengthening Ukraine’s military precisely to stop the next occurrence of a Russian attack.

I’m not saying I have better insight about that war, but from my understanding, Ukraine shouldn’t join NATO

Well it’s a good thing that from the understanding of the people who make the choices you’re in the wrong.

I think it should be readily obvious why the USA should defend a country against an act of aggression. For one thing, violating international boundaries and seizing land through war ought to be punished. The precedent should be set that doing so brings about international rebuke and strong consequences. For another, the USA made a security guarantee to Ukraine when they gave up their nuclear weapons. We should make good on it.

Ukraine joining NATO would have prevented this war. Russia isn’t going to war with a country in NATO - just look at the Baltic states. They joined NATO to protect against a possible Russian aggression just like what’s happening now in Ukraine. That worked. It would have worked for Ukraine and it’s part of why I believe Putin pulled the trigger on this before Ukraine was in NATO.
