    We really REALLY need a US version of the GDPR. It's fucking absurd how impossible it is to avoid all the data skimming in the US

    The tumbling is a feature more than a bug, actually. It's a designed to prevent over penetration and transfer the most energy possible into the target It's possible he got dinged by a rapidly spinning bullet tumbling end over end. Enough to break the skin and scare the ever loving shit out of everyone, but not enough to do even lasting superficial damage. It really just is ridiculous that the WWE superstar hall of famer had a botched assassination attempt like this. The way trump went down and got back up with only a small bit of blood is like something you'd see at WrestleMania after someone blades them self to up the ante in the match.

    He's healed remarkably well for a 78 year old if he really did get shot in the ear and not ever-so-slightly grazed

    Dude that's like a bad highschool class president campaign video lol

    I really dig this as a way for agencies to get their message out and show that they're listening and working on real issues. No need to fuck with a press release and all that

    I hope you didn't get a shaming vibe from me - it's ok to be a weird little freak! Just don't be a fascist because you're ashamed of yourself. Ya know, along the lines of grindr going down in Milwaukee during the RNC while the republicans are trying to undo Obergefell

    so vance gets all jacked up on mountain dew and then cranks it to dolphin porn? It's a shame these folks that go into politcs are so repressed - if they just let their freak flag fly they'd be wayyyyyyyyy less angry at the world

    It really is incredible how you always link the biggest pieces of shit on Twitter lol. That profile is just a star wars themed culture war screed, they've even been noted a few times for tweeting angrily about shit that didn't happen lol

    Which circles back around to the disparity in policing and law enforcement, and shit like the war on drugs being designed to break up families and put people into for profit prisons. Among many other schemes to keep prisons nice and full so their shareholders can get the returns they are entitled to

    Genuinely, most of the adults I knew growing up did not make enough to max their 401k. I know my household didn't growing up. Do you think the median American worker bringing home $45k/yr is able to contribute max to their 401k? Yeah no shit, the best way to make money is to have money. The problem tends to be starting that process of building when the majority of America is fighting to keep heads above water

    There's also a funny thing where the windshield is a weak spot on cars in the game, so it had an EXTRA LARGE weak spot with the mega windshield lol

    No shit, there was a big ass documentary a while back titled "13th" about how prisoners are used as slave labor in the US to drive profits for the private prisons and for the mega corps getting extremely cheap labor.

    My view is that the people who benefit as shareholders when companies steal from their employees are those that hold considerable numbers of shares, which is not the working class people were talking about. Also, Americans with 7 figure portfolios are the far and away exception. Probably not in your circles, which is why you think it's normative

    Why don't the poor people just stop being poor and buy tens of thousands of shares like executives and the investor class does? Have they even HEARD of bootstraps??

    I think the real issue at hand is that productivity gains are not evenly distributed or enjoyed. Rather than the employees seeing a wage increase commiserate with their increase in productivity, we see the shareholders reap that benefit more often than not.

    Yeah man, the whole thing just continues to be weird and not quite fit together. Of course, trump wouldn't have it any other way - people will keep talking about this for a looooong time as long as there's all this uncertainty

    dude it's wild how excited the chuds get to put fascist flags on their boats - Port Oconnor was full of em on 4th of July weekend even with Beyrl coming

    My biggest complaint with Acolyte is that much like the sequel trilogy, it has very weak story telling. There's no "because of... therefore...." with the characters, and it's all "and then.... and then...." that's moving the plot forward. Thankfully, it's not as contrived as a puzzle knife that's the solution to TWO macguffins in ROS, but the writers left so many threads unused and just dangling in Acolyte. I agree with the spirit of your post though, I love seeing more aspects of Star Wars and am happy to take a few C-'s and D's if it means we get the highs of Andor and Bad Batch s3

    I doubt that it was just $5B, there's so many knock on effects and deaths that come from cascading failures that take down hospitals and 911

    Whatever the case, I for one am glad how easy and unburdened we are with things like CHL requirements so that the Everyman can be armed at all times. It's only ever solved problems
