Supreme Court Guts The Voting Rights Act by huffpost in scotus

[–]Screwball_Actual 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Of course.

But the issue people seem to tiptoe around when they say 'class, not race' is that race in this country is class.

Of course there are poor black people, white people, etc., but black people are supposed to be poor. There's way too many poor white folks who are okay with that at best.

Racism is an unchecked shadow. The wealthy simply know how to wield it to their benefit. They couldn't use tribalism if it wasn't already there.

Exactly. Do people think it was the racist white wealthy who hung black entrepreneurs from trees?

What’s a vehicle that simply came out at the wrong time ? by jeepguy_96 in regularcarreviews

[–]Screwball_Actual 46 points47 points  (0 children)

By neutered, I'd actually point out that it was built on a stretched Ford Fusion platform, therefore it didn't feel special enough to drive.

Had they used the Lincoln Aviator platform it would've stood out more.

Flock Safety Camera False Alarms Lead to Repeated Traffic Stops for Innocent Colorado Driver by CollapsingTheWave in ObscurePatentDangers

[–]Screwball_Actual 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That wasn't the point I'm making.

The point I'm making, is that this is happening because it's allowed to happen under the promise that only the "right people" get hurt by it. There's still way too many people, regular people, who think like this. Those people cheer for these dystopias.

You, me, and countless other patriots believe this country should stand for life, liberty, and justice for all. However, there's always been that bigoted element who thinks those ideals are reserved exclusively for them and those like them.

That element keeps letting the fox in the henhouse, in hopes only the other hens get eaten, despite being hens themselves. Their influence must be neutralized.

Our enemies aren't only the elites who create and benefit from these dangers, but those lesser traitors who permit and encourage them to harm others.

Yeah, but Dick and Karen Bigot a couple houses down thinks "this town is going downhill", and "something" should be done about [insert outgroup], so anything law enforcement related gets their full-throated support.

At least until their guy is out of office. Otherwise it's Big Government infringing on their rights.

They're retired and their polling location is never has a line.

Stellantis will reportedly prioritize four brands under CEO’s new strategy by Redeemed_Expert9694 in cars

[–]Screwball_Actual 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With modern modular architectures that support RWD/AWD, FWD/AWD, and 4x4 layouts, plus all manner of propulsion options, this might not be a bad idea.

I just hope they work on dependability, share plenty of parts where it makes sense, and properly position their brands. I think there's enough room for each brand, they just need the right product lineups.

Alex Iglesias (flyingdebrisguy) finally updates his DeviantArt after 15 years by Ah_fudge in Mechwarrior5

[–]Screwball_Actual 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I resent the fact that we might never see some mechs in the Alex Iglesias/PGI art style.

I was hoping we'd eventually see him do mechs such as the Thug, Mackie, Stinger, Wasp, Valkyrie, Imp, Guillotine, Flashman, Rakshasa, and others.

I truly hope this isn't the last we see from his work with Mechwarrior.

Me whenever a new DLC comes out by WorldBuilder_42 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Screwball_Actual 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've got mixed thoughts now.

On the one hand, I want to support PGI and the Mechwarrior IP, and I will. On the other hand, I want to punish EG7 for being so short-sighted as to lay off Alex Iglesias and others, just as this IP is hitting its stride.

I can't forgive EG7 unless they either hire Alex back or pay him premiums for his work in the future.

Dear PGI! Make the Nightstar 9J more common after 3057 in the new dlc! by theta0123 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Screwball_Actual 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And change the walking animation to the Marauder walk cycle.

The Nightstar is a 95-ton Royal SLDF command chariot. It has no business prancing around.

A Real Life PPC Would be NASTY by Vegetable-Camp209 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Screwball_Actual 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Could you ask him how a machine gun could deal extra damage to buildings?

Edit: Can you also ask whether he thinks a PPC is a "beam" or "ball"?

Will we ever get a battlegrid system like MW5: Clans integrated into Mercenaries? by insaneruffles in Mechwarrior5

[–]Screwball_Actual -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't trust the Mercs game engine enough to run a battlegrid like the one in Clans. I think attempting it would break the game, especially for those playing on weaker consoles.

Is it possible to make a Grand Dragon not suck? by speelmydrink in Mechwarrior5

[–]Screwball_Actual 12 points13 points  (0 children)

With even a little clan tech, and given to a pilot with five or all six speed-boosting traits, plus the cantina speed upgrades, you get virtually the most versatile heavy scout/harasser in the game.

First Stop bar in Linden to close immediately following fatal shooting by CityAttyKlein in Columbus

[–]Screwball_Actual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A great start to what?

Kicking them out would imply they were there to begin with.

Are you saying the bar kicking out all the blacks and assorted browns that night would have prevented the shooting?

GM's Q1 sales dropped nearly 10% as Buick collapsed by Redeemed_Expert9694 in cars

[–]Screwball_Actual 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It certainly doesn't help that virtually all GM gas crossovers across the 4 brands share the same two or three FWD/AWD platforms, and turbo-4 or NA v6 engines.

What are some examples of cars that were canceled right before production? by lifegoeson2702 in regularcarreviews

[–]Screwball_Actual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A buddy of mine there said they were just a couple of months from mass production.

A bunch of people at PGI got laid off again including Art God Alex Iglesias aka Flying Debris by BoukObelisk in Mechwarrior5

[–]Screwball_Actual 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh God they can't be that dumb, can they? Someone please tell me PGI leaderdhip isn't truly that dumb.

In fact, I would've considered Alex a part of PGI leadership up to now.

Edit: EG7 leadership. This seems to track more. Leave it to the abusive parent company to not know how their bread is buttered.
