  • Yeah, I saw some assuming he was drunk but it is just as likely that this guy made a split second decision and jumped on it thinking what could go wrong I’ve done it before and poof.

    People don’t like to view vehicles as murder machines but they very much are. If raising the front end 40% increases the chance of death by 40% to pedestrians and the only benefis were “I like the way it looks” or in this case the car being designed to accelerate at speeds that arent comfortable or safe because “I think it can be fun sometimes” at the detriment of others is just poorly planned.

    Sure the guy is at fault, but so is the company that manufactured it, and the government bodies that allowed it on public roads.

    If someone wants to have a hobby playing with and racing cars, that’s fine; but they don’t belong in public areas.


  • I hadn’t played since it came out really and played some for the first time again last month. My dedecution has been if it’s metal, you can plow through it, if it’s wood it’ll plow through you.

    And then all the sudden a few objects will defy these assumptions and you wind up driving through a fence and find a metal rod turning you into a pretzel.




  • I mean if we are being real they voted to not pay to renew the contract, and people checked to see if they were still there when the the contract ended.

    No where was it mentioned the date the cameras were required to be removed by, nor what would happen with them.

    A good comparative we have seen in the U.S. would be direct tv. If you cancel the service and the contract ended on June 29th, Direct Tv doesn’t come out and remove the dish from your roof that day, they leave it there and it’s your problem.

    Cleveland likely needs to start a lawsuit against the company for leaving their products on their property and if they aren’t removed by a set “reasonable” date schedule someone from the city to remove them.

    Really I’m sure flock is just hoping to get them to pass a separate contract so they don’t have to move them to another city


  • And moving to renewable energy sources will inevitably bring down costs and make it so if a tornado/hurricane/earthquake takes some power lines down a giant chunk of houses won’t all lose power, many of those houses will be able to keep refrigerators and necessities up until backup power from the grid gets restored.

    Half the oceans ships are moving fossil fuels from place to place, so you can cut that tenfold… Making cleaner healthier ecosystems in both cities/towns and for the earth in general.


  • We could have “free” healthcare by paying less than we pay today.

    We are simply getting ripped off at every turn. For some reason there are a lot of people who think it should cost out the ass for basic care you can get for much cheaper. And it isn’t because it is “higher quality” like some claim. A white woman is 2x as likely to die during pregnancy in the U.S. than if they were in Canada. A black woman 6x. So it all ends up being about money/class.

    Think about this. The U.S. provides free X-rays for 2.5 million people and their luggage every day, by a federal department that didn’t even exist pre-2001.

    Our taxes even went down

    2001 Brackets: 15%, 27.5%, 30.5%, 35.5%, and 39.1%. The top 39.1% rate kicked in at $297,350.

    2026 Brackets: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%. The top 37% rate begins at $640,600

    So who’s paying for the department of homeland security? It’s not a mystery, we are.

    Our health care system is set up to milk every penny they can from the people. We could cut the costs so much that it actually is funny. If it was made illegal to provide health insurance in the U.S. and it was illegal to overcharge on medications and procedures, our healthcare system would get better for the majority of the population.



  • Not saying it would change much, but there has not been a governor of Florida that wasn’t Republican since 1999. 2003 they produced 22 billion pounds of Oranges. 2026 they are unsure they can produce 1 billion pounds. That’s with technoligical improvements for planting, harvesting, etc. So maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree, but shouldnt the government step in, find a way to mandate getting rid of the diseased trees and the underlying causes and transplant something successful that would be immune if you can’t remove the causes, like Italy and France did when they worked with California to transplant all their vineyards because they would all die from root rot until they found out the roots in California were immune, and grafted the grapes onto those roots and rebuilt everything?

    What is government for if an industry so large in your location that it is the default license plate is completely dying with “no known cure.”

    Oranges from Florida have always been sweeter/juicer or whatever than those from California, while Californias are more shelf stable. But the reason you get orange juice made in Florida… Is for that reason. It tastes better. Maybe Florida should be telling the federal government if they want to launch rockets/shuttles from and retrieve them from their shores, they need the federal government to give a fuck about their issues.



  • I still use jerboa quite often but have been considering moving. It worked well for a couple years but the last month or two there are stupid things like, not being able to scroll back up through the comments where it’ll get stuck, or if I collapse a comment, and try to reopen it the content is blank so I have to exit the comment section and reopen to be able to the top of the comment section and start over. If it is a long comment thread you then have to scroll slow because if you miss the comment you collapsed by accident you can’t scroll back up to find it because the first problem. At that point I just give up on that and move on.

    I made a post about it in the jerboa thread a month ago, it appears to be happening to more than just me, and across multiple devices, even someone on graphene said it was happening to them.


  • The claims in this post say it effects games moving forward, no games bought previously. And that the game isn’t uninstalled or anything of the sort, it means if you haven’t connected to the Internet in 30 days you would have to connect to open the game. (Not sure what the reasoning would be, maybe they are trying to ensure people do updates, not sure). Someone else claimed above that it is fake all together, but I haven’t verified it.

    The real issue here for most people to me would be if a game is eventually removed from their network and whether or not they remove the check in requirement if the digital game is removed. (Aka would the game be lost forever because Sony stopped hosting it, even if you had a copy on an external drive).





  • Yeah my first thought was that those aren’t memes, they are the “guidance” I guess. The words are the message, the background sets the tone. Bad luck Brian isn’t the meme, he’s what sets the stage that lets you know the tone for the hook.

    If someone says: "Toenail needs cutting

    Kick a brick wall"

    Youd be like okay that’s excessive … but you put chaos wolf behind it and your like, I shouldve expected that



  • Believe it’s the point of the post. Voting for someone who supports pulling money from the impoverished and giving it to the ultra-rich… While being impoverished.

    The fact that 90% of the population isn’t voting against corporate Democrats and Republicans who support the current taxation and distribution of wealth that supports just 10% of the population to thrive and the rest to struggle is terrible. But they spend millions on advertising and billions on other media venues to push the agenda to protect the status quo.
