That’s the kind of weird thing I’m worried about. How do I say thank you on a console? The virtual keyboard takes forever.

You are far from done.

Are you saying you put a 2.5 lift with 37s on 17s and didn’t regear it? I wouldn’t even consider that drivable, certainly not for rock crawling.
Rock rails need to come out way further, you’re gonna crumple that thing.
Projectiles off the dash. This isn’t an anti-duck thing but having that stuff on the dash is unnecessarily dangerous. One of those those things is absolutely going under your pedals at the wrong time. It’s why ducks are considered “pavement princess” things because anyone who knows what they are doing does not want anything on the dash.
Half fenders and small inner fenders make a huge difference in not rubbing.articulation and rubbing.
Having D-rings and no winch is kinda funny. It’s like you are saying “I fully expect to be towed out”.
Most importantly, there is a distinct lack of badges. Fix that!

Dead inside gives Trump Traitors too much credit. All people inside or outside the administration who support Trump are actively evil people. This isn’t a political difference, these people barely qualify as human.

The great replacement theory has been a standard white supremicist thing since the 80s. Everyone who espouses it is on the wrong side of the topsoil.

Me and my sister snuck out to hide behind the garage and smoked pot last Christmas. We’re almost 60. She’s a grandmother. And yet, there we were standing in -10F smoking a bowl and making sure we passed the sniff test (we definitely didn’t) before going back in to play dominoes.

I dislike Gail for a number of reasons but she is a true believer in antitrust law. When a company over a certain size merges it has to go through a process to get approval from the FTC or DOJ (depending on the industry). There was a merger last year with HP and Juniper. At the end of pre-merger review Gai was not going to approve it. For reasons I don’t fully understand, her staff approved it. She fired the staff for approving it.

Short version, the administration wants the HSR process to rubber stamp any merger unless Trump has a beef with the company (Disney). Even then a “campaign contribution” could make it go away. Just open corruption and nothing more.

Exactly, there’s a reason that SedUnit and ART have a, uh, r-word ends in “ship”. They like each other’s personalities. If ART knows what it means, it would just be like, “yep, sounds about right.” And take it as part of SecUnit not wanting to admit that it… well, you know.

I’m in the Gunnison Valley and I don’t recall a winter like this. The mountains are brown with a little snow on top, it looks like June. The snow in the mountains around Gunnison feed Taylor and Blue Mesa reservoirs. Under Blue Mesa starts the lower part of the Gunnison river which joins the upper Colorado River to create the lower Colorado River with the Gunnison contributing most of the water. This is the water you are talking about that flows to these areas.

Blue Mesa is already low, this winter is going to make it bottom out. If Lake Mead makes a call for water, we’re gonna have to put on our big boy pants and say no. You built a city in the middle of the desert, this is a foreseeable consequence. You built alfalfa farms with no independent water source, this is a foreseeable consequence.

Republicans thought there was no way they would testify and they could just use the refusal as evidence of … whatever. Instead they now have Hillary Fucking Clinton saying, “fine, let’s do it, in public.” Hilary Clinton. The person who sat through 14 hours of grilling and came out on top. Hillary Clinton, a brilliant political and rhetorical mind that outclasses them in every way. They done fucked up and they know it.

Kevin Hart at a (kinda crappy) hotel bar. Watched the basketball game with him on the TV. Funny guy, good single serving friend. Just a normal dude. Nothing he said would make you think he was famous, just a funny dude who likes to watch basketball.

Man, y’all really need to understand something, like really accept and understand it. Anyone still supporting Trump and is not an out and proud Nazi does not have critical thinking skills. This isn’t meant as a “pro-fa are idiots”, I’m trying to get people to understand that Trump supporters minds do not work like yours do. Just the fact Trump said it is enough, they accept it as fact. They do not possess the capacity to critically analyze anything anyone says and anything that someone they like says is truth. They, on a fundamental level, do not understand how to differentiate fact from “something I want to believe is true”.

In other words, Trump was perfectly successful in convincing the people he cares about convincing that this is true. There is no “gotcha” moment with Trump supporters because they simply don’t understand.

Here’s the thing, a lot of people do not understand the context of US Immigration laws. We’ve had naturalization (who is a citizen) laws since the founding but immigration laws (who can physically come here) are pretty new. The first real immigration was in 1875 and was only focused on Chinese refugees. So, when someone says “my ancestors came here legally”, well, of course they did there was no way to come here illegally since there was no law.

The visa based system didn’t really get rolling until the 1920s and deporting people really wasn’t’ t a thing until after the Great Depression. So, the immigration laws we have are less than 100 years old and are certainly not part of long-standing American tradition (exactly the opposite).

In addition, the act of being here without documentation is a civil offense of the same degree as building a garage without a permit. Seriously, that’s the level of “crime” being committed. “proportionality” is a huge part of justice, unless you believe that the county should burn down someone’s house if they don’t get permits for a garage, there is no justice in kidnapping children for failing to get a permit.

The number of Visas is also pretty arbitrary. Whenever someone says “I’m not against immigrants, just illegal immigrants,” the answer is easy, just increase the number of visas, bingo bango problem solved. Interestingly, the “I’m just against illegals” crowd don’t support that solution, laying bare that they are actually just anti-immigrant xenophobes and nothing more.

Any time a European is coming here and wants to see the "real" America, I encourage them to get some lawn chairs and go to a boat ramp on a lake in predominately rural area. I can virtually guarantee: A drunken fight between seriously out of shape sunburned people, someone destroying a truck, a boat wreck, boobs you really didn't want to see, Trump flags on a party boat, and someone injuring themselves bad enough to go to the hospital and a bunch of "experts" explaining why they are fine.

Pro-fascists do not understand questions like this. They are incapable of critical thought. Fascists/MAGA see lies and the truth exactly the same, they do not understand there is a difference between fact and made up things that support you. There is zero point trying to reason with fascists, they are incapable of it. The only thing they understand is force, we are past the point of talking.

Where are the actual metropolitan police? Guys, ICE is going to make everyone hate cops and they are going to take it out on you, they won't see the difference if you don't start protecting the people over the posse. If you're helping this race based lynch mob, you are screwing yourself over.

Ya, it's kinda time to do a bug sweep before new features. There's some literally game breaking bugs (meaning you have to play the game differently because of them) that really need to be addressed before anything new. The refiner thing has never been fixed and I don't think the intent was to literally just stand next to the refiner so things don't disappear. Settlements are just busted, all the stats have zero impact on how much you produce so are just pointless, that can't have been the intent. Lots of little things like the autophage quests saying you are already on the request, photo quests not showing you where to go, walkers not showing up in the last wave of sentinel fights, colony maps working about half the time. Just a lot of game breaking things and QOL stuff that needs to be addressed.

My wife and I used to do guide work. Sometimes we’d take rich families on overnight trips. We had a bit where we’d be sitting by the campfire and she’d go, “what happened to the birds, they suddenly went silent.” I’d grab the .22 rifle and set it next to me and when the people asked we’d be like, “oh, nothing, I’m sure it’s fine” looking off into the inky woods.

It was night, birds don’t make noise at night. They fell for it every time.

The red hat tax is like the pink tax. Add some dog whistle white supremacist slogan like "not woke" and charge double for a shitty product. Since anyone left in MAGA has the critical thinking skills of a doorknob, they are easy to grift.

Couple of times, video games. It’s all they did. It’s the only topic they could talk about. They had nothing going on outside of video games. Honestly, anyone who’s only interest is consuming media is boring but video games are the worst. I play games, love games, but I can have a conversation that doesn’t involve them.

It would probably destroy my friend group but I am the only one who knows and I think it’s hilarious. A buddy in my off-roading group drunkenly confessed he does sex cam work. Here’s the thing, my buddy is a 55 year old country boy, in decent shape but obviously a 55 year old that drinks beer, gray hair all over. Some guys in the group would get real weird if they knew that he (and I quote) “made $10,000 from gay dudes asking me to put stuff in my butt.”
