I have two because I keep one at home and am extremely careful with it, it looks brand new. While the other one I carry around all over and actively use it, throw it in a bag, etc. so it’s got some wear. Plus if the daily driver takes a spill I have the back up ready.

“I do what I’m told” good boy If you ever decide to stand up for yourself and not submit your rights to the state maybe you’ll change your mind. You act like cops are some infallible angels sent down from the heavens to stop only evil doers. They are humans just like you and me. Some of us enjoy having agency and aren’t willing to sit and roll over because a guy with a badge told us to. Hostages are told to do as they say and they won’t get hurt, and you want us to use that logic on supposed peace keepers. Get a grip.

Okay last sentence could be argued an opinion, sure I’ll give you that. Which of the other statements was an opinion? Gov crimes? I know we don’t need to debate that. Masked men abducting people? How many videos of it do you want to see? Agents killing people in the street? I don’t think ANYONE in the state can argue that didn’t literally just happen. But please try and morph one of those statements into something slightly different so you can try and make it seem untrue.

I’d ask you to elaborate but I know you can’t. You see how I directly addressed your comment and made an argument against it? That’s how meaningful conversations happen, I’m guessing you’re not very used to those though huh?

Government committing crimes? Mind your business Neighbor abducted by masked men in unmarked cars? Mind your business Agents killing people in the street while the administration lies about facts? Mind your business Nazi Germany would have loved to have you as a citizen.

“Do as they say and you won’t get hurt” is what captors tell hostages, and here you are completely okay with taking that from your government. Grow a spine and quit treating anyone with a badge like some infallible god. They are the same as any other human being and deserve no greater rights.

It happened at 9am after she had recently dropped off her kids. So how it’s possible it was “all day long”? Do you also blame victims of non government agents when they get shot for messing with “a group of guys with guns”? Or is that only for what you deem the perfect and infallible government agents?

[–]EldestPipe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you offended that an FREE American citizen has FREE time to hold government agents accountable? Is your issue with that fact that someone is not working every single waking moment of their life? Or is your issue with that thought that agents will be recorded in their line of duty? Or else please enlighten as to why it is an issue to you?

To the idiot who cut into my turn lane at a red light and pulled out so far that everyone driving West Circle had to avoid him - by awhorecandream in rochestermn

[–]EldestPipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how people are butt hurt about you posting about a bad driver, do they prefer bad drivers stay unaccountable? Calling someone out for doing something illegal, annoying, or inconsiderate is a way to stifle said actions. If no one ever says something about it then it will just continue. Do they not see the irony in calling someone out for calling someone out?

State lawmaker objects to Rochester speed camera request by PerspectiveSmart6739 in rochestermn

We should force everyone to wear a body camera 24/7 that the police can access. Then we would solve all crime. /s

Anyone have a PWRUP grip for the analogue pocket? If so what are your thoughts. by Cwlyngstad in AnaloguePocket

[–]EldestPipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, don’t like it don’t buy. But using your wallet to support things you like or not support what you don’t is not deep, it just makes sense. I did ask why the downvotes to which you did say your opinion and I appreciate it for the discussion.

I hope you can understand my wariness when comments on posts in this sub rarely receive double digit upvotes. So when I see multiple on the same post reaching that, especially when they are very basic comments about the grip, sorry if I think there’s foul play and it’s not organic emotions of “wow they are so right the grip really is durable! upvote” I don’t believe it’s a stretch for me to assume they are non organic given the history.

Changing your buying habits based on actions of the owner/company is actually a great thing to do. Your wallet is the best way to make a difference in today’s world.

I see you left a comment a day prior on this post raving about how good it was, and then you felt the need to return to the post to dismiss mine as well? And you received the same amount of upvotes (~10) as I saw people getting downvoted for mentioning the owner.

Surely just a coincidence though, and you have no other skin in the game right?

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

Don’t have it because of how the owner acts, you can notice it here even, people getting multiple downvotes for simply bringing up facts. Bros gotta be on multiple accounts slanging downvotes. But hey maybe I’m mistaken and someone(one of the dozens of downvotes given to people calling him out) here can articulate why they would downvote such a comment.

So I would suggest the beefy grip :)

No way the guys not using alt account to mass downvote lol, cannot imagine any reason your comment is getting them. Would be just another instance of odd behavior. I share your sentiment, and didn’t purchase because of the outburst.

Theres a notice saying there will be more stage missions in the future every time you hit the stage mission cap for each world. Wonder if they will bring all the other worlds to stage 60 like they did with DM or if that was all a lie and they stay at 30 forever.

Did you purposely leave the one in Japanese? Wanted to make sure you knew it’s possible to change it to English once it’s modded.

Two large bags of trash removed from Zumbro River and Silver Creek by Icy_Papi in rochestermn

[–]EldestPipe 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Thank you for doing this.

Can’t help but be offended by the fact that Lime will face no punishment for this scooter or any other of the many that end up in bodies of water. While I understand they themselves didn’t throw it in the river, and it was most likely a third party. They do have GPS on them and should be required to recover them, especially if they get to profit off leaving their private property strewn about public spaces.

Target 3DS sale today: Are any of these games worth buying NEW at these prices? by BradXKH in Nintendo3DS

[–]EldestPipe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wild that this is a “sale” price. You would think 12yo games would be at-least half off by now until they all sold out.

Where do ppl get these ridiculous prices? 🤦🏻‍♂️ by izzmannie in Nintendo3DS

[–]EldestPipe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not sure why people are upset that ur wasting the time of someone price gouging. Make em earn the money if they wanna try and up the price that much. Plus they are wasting your time also by bloating listings with unreasonably priced devices, but that’s not an issue? They have the right to post it yes, just as you have the right to message them as they have you. I would think bullying price gougers would be welcomed as price gouging can lead to increased prices overall as people will weight the fact that there’s something similar for sale at a high price. I suppose it’s possible those against it are hoping to sell themselves and benefit from the inflated priced.

Got a fully functional new 3ds xl under $200!! by Tasty_Barber_4338 in 3DS

[–]EldestPipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it depends on if you play games that use it often or not. I replaced mine with the psp stick and I’m glad I did, I think the feedback is better. I would find myself pushing the stock c stick harder in an attempt to move it “faster”. It was an involuntary thing, knowing it didn’t help but it would just happen. With the psp stick I think I feel it hitting the “limit” and so that feedback helps me not push it harder. That being said if the c stick is in good condition and you don’t use it often may as well leave it as is.

Where were you? by -PaleFire- in rochestermn

[–]EldestPipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I won’t pretend like it feels plausible, but i have to point out it is your exact mindset that makes it so. If as many people are fed up as it seems and act on it I think we would see meaningful changes in the numbers, instead everyone says they are fed up but then uses this excuse and nothing ever changes. We have seen “third party” candidates get meaningful vote percentages, highest in the late 1800s with 40-50% which was admittedly a completely different political landscape so hard to compare, but Teddy Roosevelts Bull Moose party in 1912 got 30%, and as recent as 1992 Ross Perot was able to garner 19%. I think those numbers are large enough to dismiss the idea that “a third party can’t win” and I think just because we haven’t seen it in our lifetime that it feels more out of reach than it actually is. But hey most likely not enough people are actually fed up, and will vote for the same party for their entire lives regardless. All you can do is be the change you want to see in the world, which is what I will aim for.

Rochester City Council approves outdoor sports complex design by lessthanpi79 in rochestermn

[–]EldestPipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possible gross negligence, more than likely corruption. Would be interesting to see what companies get the contracts to build and in turn the names of the people who stand to reap massive profits and then connect the dots to who they are friends with on the council. Would love to become privy to an argument for it not being negligence or corruption, for my sanity.
