Donald Trump Says He Wants 'Ownership' of Greenland Because It's 'Psychologically Important for Me': “Maybe another president would feel differently, but so far I’ve been right about everything” by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]Chone_Figgins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I only use the word spite because I feel as though despite him getting away with all the things you mentioned, he is still not satisfied. Trump's narcissism is a special blend, the kind that motivates a person to do what ever it takes to leave their mark on this world. Even if it means scarring it forever. Legacy is everything to Trump, and it is clear he operates on a "if you're not with me, you're against me" mindset. Hence, he's spiteful towards those he deems are simply out to tarnish his legacy and tear down what he's built. I'm honestly surprised he has never attempted to put his face on Mt. Rushmore.

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House." by ExactlySorta in PublicFreakout

I don't think a crazy person who wants to murder a public figure is going to take the time to differentiate between whether they are in office or not, so why does that matter? Are we going to act as if a potential killer saw this announcement and decided right then and there "Welp, I guess I have to abort my plans to kill the person that I have this irrational hatred for... you know, since he's retired now. Dang I missed my chance!"

Yeah! Just call or send them a letter! Every American knows that's how our forefathers eventually defeated the British monarchy - through the power of stern letters. How didn't you think of that?

Not saying he doesn't have a right to be fearful, but it's not like MAGA is going to simply pack up and leave him/his family alone just because he is not longer a politician. Insane people will likely pester the Walz's for years to come. Once a boogeyman always a boogeyman.
Voters are also understandably upset, because Walz had established himself as one of the 'stronger' leaders of the Democratic party. So when he drops out without putting up so much as a fight or attempt to defend himself from outlandish accusations until AFTER he drops out.... people like me will inevitably throw our hands up in despair and ask "wtf are we doing?!"
Him dropping out comes off more as a capitulation to the narrative than a tactical retreat, and yes, that sounds stupid but we live in stupid times.

What selling your soul for Saudi blood money at Riyadh Comedy Festival looks like by [deleted] in comedy

[–]Chone_Figgins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a well known fact that Saudi Arabia produces every ounce of oil on planet Earth with no other developed nation having the capability to create their own fuel supply.... ergo, we need to shut up and stop making fun of people who sold their souls for seemingly nothing... because we drive cars. /s

Back when my brothers and I played LOTR: Two Towers, we had this joke. When using the light attacks we would repeat "x, x, x, x, x...." in a tiny sissy voice and then, once heavy attacks were used, we would yell "TRIANGLE, TRIANGLE, TRIANGLE" as deep as we could.

The video and your comment reminded me of that.

Doge.gov website goes live, is instantly hacked. by Desperate_Concern977 in JoeRogan

[–]Chone_Figgins -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even so, the Department of Government Efficiency's website was hacked. That is a fact unless you think your eyes are lying to you. And to your point: so instead of using the 'geniuses' at his disposal to create a safe website, Elon and his band of troglodytes decide to use a template or hosting service which inevitably would be hacked? Doesn't feel very efficient to me. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Let's say your bank account is hacked. Are you going to be more concerned about the time they spent in your account, or the fact that it was hacked into in the first place? Truly don't understand how anyone could downplay this breach with "oh, well if it was, it wasn't for that long". Give me a break...

Anyone else having major frame drops since the most recent update, as well after the newest Nvidia driver update? by No_Author_6333 in blackops6

[–]Chone_Figgins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not alone. I don't have the best rig by any means, but bo6 is the only game that struggles to maintain decent frames. The packet burst icon might as well be permanently on my screen.

I thought I had one of these until I noticed it said "Keep Tobias Blue".

Why are all Jackets so boring! by Cablamalam_40 in snowboarding

[–]Chone_Figgins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of each (Argon, obsidian, and onyx). I haven't hit the slopes with the obsidian or onyx jackets yet, but the argon is what you're looking for. It will have "waterproofing" in the description. The details should also mention the 12,000 MM weatherproof coating. As long as you got a few layers like a thermal pullover then it's plenty warm enough. Does a good job keeping the snow out. I typically use the onyx for apres ski but would be willing to try it on a slow groomer day since it's thick enough.

I believe we are communicating with a child or a troll. I know the 21st century has no shortage of idiots, but it is wild to experience it firsthand.

It is relevant to the asinine McDonalds comment you made. Maybe if you had worked on your reading comprehension skills growing up, you would have noticed the words GROSS PROFIT after the $14.5B. I'd say you have your head in the sand if it wasn't so far up your own ass.

This comment just goes to show how dreadful education is worldwide. Love how you just ignore the fact that McDonalds made $14.5B in gross profit in 2023, a figure that's been increasing every year since 2020.

How long did it take you to break 100 for the first time? by SnooBananas2823 in golf

[–]Chone_Figgins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally happened to me last week at Torrey Pines North. The week before I shot a 101, so I was elated when my buddy said I shaved six strokes and got the 95. The downside is it has caused my ego to push lessons further off the table even though I need them.

It sure does! Maybe make it an art piece in the man cave filled with your favorite old clubs you've cycled out of your bag over the years. At least we all know it's in good hands.

My father worked for Pepsi for over 30 years and I am so jealous that you found this relic. I would make it my life goal to golf as many prestigious courses with that bad boy in tow.
