It's very much the "you're locked in here with me" moment.

It's been a bit concerning seeing all the people just giddy with the prospect of millions of people dying from internal issues, either idiotically not understanding or simply being too naive, that when an animal dies, it doesn't go quietly. Especially not when it senses the cause of its death is near.

And I believe enough people will view the rest of the world as the cause, I genuinely think if it came down to losing control permanently or causing the literal end of the world by launching as many nuclear and conventional strikes as possible before death takes them.

Personally, I don't relish the downfall of any major country, and despite other countries issues I'd rather see them overthrow their tyrannical governments than grab popcorn and cheer as they crumble to civil wars and starvation. That just seems a bit too close to being "arch villain from a cartoon" for my taste.

I'd really like to see the Cure For Fascism being used here in my own country, but unfortunately "be the change you want to see in the world" just leaves a dead crazed lone gunman in the street. Organization will be needed.

Not "I should stop using this website since it's not showing me what I want"

It's "this website should be shut down for not showing me what I want"

Typical conservative/authoritarian.

Can't let places that allow wrongthink to exist. The ministry of truth needs to sort this out.

I absolutely like pests!

I like them to stay out of my house, mostly.

But you know, all the other stuff that helps keep us alive is a big bonus, too.

I use my cell data in my bedroom because it's more stable than my router connection. I wish I had control of the router, but it's not my house. I'd just move the router to a more centralized location instead of the farthest corner.

Back before I moved, I kept the router at one of the reduced power modes it had built in(can't remember the exact settings) since the room it sat in was the best room for signal distribution, you still got full signal anywhere you went.

That's why I specified or wingtip vortex.

In some situations you can see a trail behind a wingtip that can persist. although doesn't leave the huge vapor cloud that lingers for hours, I have heard plenty of ~~people~~ conspiracy nuts refer to them as "Chem trails" right along with the actual contrail. Living near an airport, you get all kinds of crazy.

If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.

Goodbye florida airports, I guess.

Well, I know what other video I'm never watching.

And people wonder why I don't like being around any vehicle that carries things...

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 16 points 5 months ago (4 children)

If it's what I'm thinking of, camera footage of a vehicle interior.

Driving down the highway, going under an overpass when a brick gets tossed by some kids and goes through the window.

Passenger hit, husband is driving and screams.

You know that scream they mention in The Princess Bride? That "only someone experiencing ultimate suffering" can make?

If you know, you know.

They like complaining and "being right" is more important to them than being helpful. Whether they are right or not is immaterial to the facts. Whatever the issue is they just need to be seen being right about it.

Incidentally that's a common trait among narcissists.

Well, when the people in charge make abiding by laws means you sit quietly waiting to die, protesting is illegal, dissent is illegal, and even having a negative opinion of them is grounds for being mentally unfit, well there's not much you can do inside the confines of their laws.

Laws are not inherently moral or just. They will have to be broken, and by many MANY people. As my dad used to say " 'you can have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead hands' just leaves you a crazy lone gunman dead in the street" he was just making fun of movies when he said it, but to me it's a call to organize.

Hey, so all the people who told me they need their guns "to fight tyranny"... They're gearing up, right?

That's how I've been pronouncing it in my head when I read it.

I still say "Twitter" though because that and the gulf of Mexico are the only things I feel are okay to deadname.
