  • It's an ancient meme rooted in green text brevity, intentionally misused to form another ancient meme, leading through yet another to a fourth.

    Appending .exe to whatever states that the contextually implied action was performed. For example:

    payday

    groceries.exe

    steak on sale

    dinner.exe

    It's being used here to obfuscate a folder, as file format was used to obfuscate distribution of the LOIC in the picture of the "It's dangerous to go alone..." meme.

    But, the cake is a lie. It was Morgan Freeman, all along.

    I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away.

  • Fortunately, feelings aren't protected in the US. Hate speech can only be used to show intent in the commission of an actual crime.

    Should've used the "fire in a theater" example with stochastic terrorism from a position of authority.

    Why is it I need make your argument for you? Think about that one for awhile.

  • You want to deprive citizens of their constitutionally protected rights because you disagree with them, because you've defined them "enemies of the state". You're a nationalist fascist.

    Good luck with that.

  • I don't know why this is difficult.

    Those pesky 1st and 4th amendments to the US Constitution. They apply to everyone, not just those you agree with.

    Trying to build viable third parties by voting for them in presidential elections is like trying to build a third door in your house by repeatedly walking into the wall where you want the door to be.
  • There you go again caring about which political party takes credit. Repeating the same fallacy over and over again only works on idiots, meaning the vast majority of humanity. See: The Engineering of Consent (1947), The Manufacturing of Consent (1988).

  • All this anti-third party logic fails as soon as the goal is outcomes regardless of which political party ends up taking credit. Just 5% of the GE puts another platform on every ballot in the next cycle. And, that immediately places immense pressure upon the duopoly.

    It's so simple there's now a massive amount of state-sponsored propaganda trying to prevent too many from figuring it out.

  • Cthulhu's outside. Been studying it awhile. I should probably stop. But, I've little sanity left anyways. If you're interested in seeing for yourself then the fastest path is finance and the stock market. Follow the money and you'll be able to predict the future. Or, maybe I'm just crazy. I don't know anymore.

    Colorado teen shot in the face by town councilman after going to home to ask permission to take homecoming photos
  • Gun owner here.

    1. Treat all guns as if they are always loaded - Followed
    2. Never let the muzzle point at anything that you are not willing to destroy - Violated
    3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have made the decision to shoot - Violated
    4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it - Violated

    This shooter violated three of the four fundamental gun safety rules. That's not an accident. It's attempted murder.

  • You're supposed to understand that the vast majority of society are shallow idiots that've been misled by immersion in state-sponsored propaganda.

    Then, engage the socialists and communists. They know what to do, why, and how. The last time we had the numbers for meaningful change was the late 1940s: Veterans of WW1 became armed socialists and communists which resulted in The New Deal.

    Corporate personhood is what's made much of this incarnation possible. If you want to dehumanize something then focus on the root cause.

  • I'd guess my net environmental impact is just now lower than US average because, despite my fuel consumption when moving my home, it's tiny, energy independent, and it doesn't move far or frequently. I don't really know. I just don't want to be judged unfairly, particularly when seeking help trying to do it even better.

    I want to downsize my truck for cost and fuel efficiency. I've had this truck, my first, for a year, 3.5k miles. I've towed the trailer a short thousand miles without incident and including city, highway, and interstate.

    Current setup:

    '19 Chevy 2500 6.0L 4WD

    Hitch towing ~2.5 tons GVWR (14', enclosed, tandem, brakes)

    Getting 8mpg @ 70-75mph

    Next truck budget is $10-20k. I'll keep it probably until the frame rots. I'm planning on replacing shocks & wearable steering components, am not averse to some work.

    Should I target a 1/2 ton gas (leaning Ford 5.0L 4WD), a different 3/4 ton gas (which and why), or a 3/4 ton diesel (leaning Dodge Cummins)?

    The paper numbers say I should get a 1/2 ton gas. But, my more experienced friend thinks I'll be a lot happier spending more for a diesel because diesel engines can last a long time, it'll at least double my fuel efficiency, and it's a little extra overkill for an easier tow.

    I'm open to all informed perspectives. What's my best plan and why?

    Edit: I kept the Chevy 2500 6.0L because the local market didn't support transition on the sale side. I also bought a '98 Dodge Cummins 12v diesel that needs work. It'll eventually replace the other truck.
