Its been almost as long as Austin was frozen since that movie came out. Socially speaking... things have changed. Lol

Its fun to watch with that in mind.

Not too long after it came out I was good at Siege and I mean good I was ranked in the top 1000 players and I thought that was pretty badass. I got a DM from some guy who was like "Hey I'm from TEAM and we wanted to know if you wanted to try out for our Siege squad?" I said thanks but no thanks, I have a mortgage and a full time and then some job. I dont want to take on the obligation.

I then went and googled the team, I was being courted by serious professional players. I still decided I didnt want that headache but as someone who has always been an underachiever it was like an IRL achievement popup or a level up notification. Like... look what I can achieve when I actually give a fuck and put the work in.

I did that once... She was Maaaaaaad.

The truth these days is that damn near every car has reasons why you shouldnt buy it.

The Germans are still fraudulently trading on their rep from the 80s, the French are always being different just for the fucking hell of it wether the customer likes it or not, the Italians love needing bespoke tools for simple jobs, everything British is now chinese or german, the Americans would be burned at the stake for suggesting the next model be smaller, Japans "reliability" rep is mostly being upheld by Toyota and Honda who charge accordingly, China is coming along in leaps and bounds but still cant figure out "supply chain logistics" for spare parts and Korea just keeps dropping the fucking ball over dumb simple shit.

People ask me all the time "What do you think about CAR" and Ive honestly resorted to "If you like it, buy it. Ive known people with reliable Fiats and unreliable Toyotas. The only unhappy people are the ones who bought a car they didnt WANT."

What the french DID for food historically cannot be understated, but times change.

Because when you dont you are now resisting arrest which is so risky you might as well take your chances and just go to school instead.

Because when its good, its so fucking good. They spend literal millions developing their menu to give you a dropkick to the balls of dopamine. FAT! SALT! MSG! HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP! REPEAT!

But that requires the stars to align. You need the buns and salad items to not be stale, the chips and meat for the burger to be hot and fresh, the burger to be assembled by someone giving half a fuck, the postmix machine to be set up correctly and give you the right mix, actually fizzy and ice cold. You rarely get the whole meal "just right" but when it is, that one perfect meal sticks in your brain like a catchy song and will carry you through the next half a dozen so-so feeds while you chase the dragon.

These days I only allow myself one trip to KFC a month and I go in and sit down in the restaurant because if something isnt right I go complain and ask for a remake because I spend 29 days a month counting every calorie and tracking every macro because you are not gonna fuck up my blowout meal.

Yeah, Lemmy doesnt do discussion very well, it feels like a bunch of 15yos who just discovered the idea of socialism/linux/veganism and its now the answer to all the worlds problems. All of them.

Any discussion about why there might be some nuance to the situation just isnt worth the ball ache.

I eat an insanely high protein diet and I crossfit regularly... "I'm not locked in here with you, You're locked in here with me!"

Why would you hope he has a peaceful ending?

Shhh nobody tell him that MI6 isnt fictional.

I think you got what I meant twisted.

Its sad that thats where American thinking HAS to go because America had 69 victims and 12 shooters dead in 300+ incidents last year. Australia has had 6 incidents and 2 deaths since 1991 and our schools have fences too.

Theres dozens of reasons outside of shootings that schools may want to control access and yeah it does look like a prison and it is sad.
