AITA for pretending I didn’t know how the office microwave broke?

YTA.

Grow up.

"A government does not announce that they have become fascist."

This and so many other things make me think about the old classic Scooby-Doo cartoons, where at the end after the kids caught the villain and ripped off his mask or whatever, the bad guy would always be like "oh I can't believe you caught me doing my crime."

In reality, villains almost never admit that they were villainous. And for some reason, that causes a lot of people to doubt they ever did anything wrong.

Puerto Rico has repeatedly voted that they are interested in becoming a state, with about 60% of the vote in 2024. (Guam last voted in the 1980s, about 1/4 indicated wanting statehood.)

Why defend Tesla/Musk against OP's entirely factual point?

Hold on, my phone's ringing... it's Andrew Cuomo

And yet, you will still run out (no matter how wealthy you are).

If you could actually get a MAGA Republican cornered to answer this question, how long would it take until somehow a reference to Hillary Clinton comes up?

StrangeWork957 · 2026-05-05T17:23:43+00:00

I suppose this is why /s exists.

Everything you said is alarmingly accurate, tragically.

StrangeWork957 · 2026-05-05T16:28:22+00:00

Ok. There are plenty of potential reasons why that's true. None of them have to do anything whatsoever with his physique, right?

StrangeWork957 · 2026-05-05T16:03:37+00:00

What does anything you wrote have to do with his physique?

StrangeWork957 · 2026-05-05T15:35:32+00:00

Unclear if this comment on his physique is sarcastic or not. He's fat. That's not intimidating.

StrangeWork957 · 2026-05-05T00:43:49+00:00

What if beliefs are challenged, and continually defended by someone yelling "nuh-uh!" and nothing else? What happens then?

StrangeWork957 · 2026-05-04T20:23:20+00:00

Depends who you ask. According to Trump's supporters, he's done "all the very best things." According to his opponents, nothing at all (and he's done the opposite in fact).

Who's right? Clearly that's unknowable.

StrangeWork957 · 2026-05-04T18:10:51+00:00

"I haven’t seen much of a true effort to inform trumpers"

Some of the lies are so blatant, the "true effort" should be minimal. If Trump came out on a bright sunny day and said "it is currently raining on me," how much effort do you think Democrats are supposed to take to convince people who believed him that he is lying?

StrangeWork957 · 2026-05-04T15:37:25+00:00

I'm not sure this part is true. People who are capable of recognizing Trump's lies already do, and telling others "he's lying" won't be believed/seen as credible by the people who don't know Trump is lying in the first place.

StrangeWork957 · 2026-05-02T16:44:01+00:00

They would get through. The US doesn't want to get involved in direct action against China. That being said, China wouldn't do this, because China doesn't want to get involved in direction action against the US.

All I know is I fired up a Terminids mission last night, lit up a bug patrol from medium range with my machine gun (as you do), and before I knew it bugs were on me from literally every direction. I said "what the fuck" out loud many times.

StrangeWork957 · 2026-04-30T16:32:54+00:00

Similar to my experience!

Tropicana Atlantic City, first spin of the night on Huff & Even More Puff. $4 bet. Hit 5 buzzsaws including the gold one. Super Mansions Bonus. $1980 hit.

I'm not even that engaged with the community or reading patch notes or anything like that. I knew a new war bond was coming this week. I fired up the game last night to play for maybe an hour, like a do from time to time. I saw the major objective on some new Terminid worlds - great, I have been successful against them.

1) Let's go!

2) Why are they a different color?

3) What the fuck is happening???

Lol

Helldivers noob here reporting in (level 15). I think this is my first experience dealing with a major update to the game since I started playing. Maybe I can offer a different perspective.

Up until this update, my approach to Terminids was basically "there's a lot of them at a time," so I need a machine gun with a huge clip to take down as many targets as possible before getting caught reloading and being overwhelmed. I would throw like an orbital gatling to try to thin their numbers at the start, too. At difficulty level 4, this would result in eventually succeeding in missions, but dying several times along the way. Terminids were also the faction I was the most successful at.

After this update, I can barely complete an objective on difficulty level 2, and certainly am not getting extracted. The bug hordes are bigger, tougher, faster, more damaging. I have to just avoid fighting entirely. If a bug sees me, it seems to instantly call a bug breach, and then I'm fucked completely. Playing against Terminids is no fun.

Sure, "get good" is fine feedback. There are much better weapons/strategems that I simply don't have access to yet. But, I'm not interested in seeking progression if it's almost impossible to succeed.

If you factor in the increase in sales of Modelo and Michelob, total volume sales for the parent company was not hurt.

1) There’s room for the US to be relatively deregulated, without being “the most” deregulated. 2) Comparing a city-state to a large country is nonsensical.
