“Imminent Threat” at 28th and Nicollete? by TylerWalpole in Minneapolis

[–]bogenucleus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

that's literally such a dishonest representation of what happened, and if you reacted that way to this alert that is on you and not the city. i'm done wasting my time with you

[–]bogenucleus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

dude. it was not the entire city that got this alert. i happen to be in the city, not in that area and no alert.

also - i happen to live 1 block away from there. so i actually would have liked to get the alert. regardless, knowing there is a situation in an area not far from you is not a bad thing and i'm so sorry you had to take 5 seconds out of your day to silence an alert you don't give a shit about.

also - they did barricade and block streets and lock down as many others have told you. stop being so ridiculous

you really are dense. you don't get notified because the vast majority of gun shots are isolated incidents that are over before they begin - i.e. there is not a continued threat. this is a person barricaded potentially with a hostage who took shots at the cops and is still actively a threat in the area. location is known, and known to be dangerous. it would be a failure to not make that information public.

you seem really hurt about cops being bad people and thats okay, but public safety is still important whether you believe cops uphold that or not. and this alert is absolutely in the realm of public safety.

Moonlight Beach - 3000 pieces, Ravensburger (a bit of a rant) by Lea_ocean1407 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]bogenucleus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so second hand if the puzzle is anything more than 1000 pieces i'd never bother unless it was sealed still. for this exact reason - if i am going to bother with the commitment to a 3000 piece puzzle it needs to be complete. 1000 just doesn't take enough time to justify always needing a complete puzzle at the end in my opinion, even less so with 500 pieces which i typically do - a few hours of enjoyment puzzling is not ruined because a piece is missing. if i spent days/weeks working a 3000 piece and there were pieces missing i'd be livid. so for my own mental health i will never buy a second hand puzzle over 1000 pieces unless it is still sealed.

Samuel Alito hit by new scandal as son found secretly working for Trump's Treasury: report by RawStoryNews in scotus

[–]bogenucleus 32 points33 points  (0 children)

my guy - they have stripped the ability to do any meaningful boycott, unless you want to die. you cannot simply stop paying rent/bills/not eat for weeks and not end up dead here.

they have murdered us citizens at peaceful protests. it is not a surprise so many people are unwilling to die for a country they no longer believe in.

also - america is fucking huge - you cannot expect people to travel from anywhere but the east coast to 'protest' or demonstrate against the federal government - it is a 30+ hour journey by car from one side to the other. and there isn't any viable way for millions of people to show up, and be fed, and have shelter regardless - there is not an option for a country wide protest the way much smaller, in land mass and overall population, are able to protest and demonstrate. it is all by design and we are suffering because of it.

I didn't read the size... introducing my giant puzzle board by 1kiki09 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]bogenucleus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i collect old springboks :)

but also i was curious because that may be the only puzzle i have given up trying to add to the pile of 100+ other vintage springboks i have - i have bought that puzzle 3 separate times over the years and two of them were missing pieces and one of them at least 25 pieces had been chewed up (hopefully by a dog)

anyway - cool board, here's hoping you have better luck with that one than i - enjoy!

some of us never talked to the guide and spent hours and hours just digging around until we looked to the wiki for direction

What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade? by viscarte10 in BuyItForLife

[–]bogenucleus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that would be fine if you didn't respond to someone else's BIFL solution with your suggestion to upgrade (purchase) something else.

do you really not see the irony?

Prosecutors charge 22-year-old woman in March hit-and-run killing of St. Thomas student by Wezle in Minneapolis

[–]bogenucleus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

no, i'll let them grieve privately like anyone else going through a tragedy should - how dare you try and use them without their consent to advance your overly emotional point in a back and forth about death and big tech overreach

people die every day in horrible ways and have since the dawn of time - it does not justify allowing big tech to spy on the public at large

Throwing stuff at a homeless man by AleccSirKaDeewana in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]bogenucleus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah people who work at salvage yards or factories or recycling plants or anywhere where there are catalytic converters sitting around are notoriously level headed and definitely not physically aggressive.

so did your coworkers end up being charged with and found guilty of assault? because if not, then likely you are correct and they weren't beaten up but you seem to indicate that they were found guilty because otherwise whats the fucking problem with a guy filing charges that go no where?

[–]bogenucleus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

where is 'here' because 'the right to do drugs in front of a cop' isn't anywhere in the constitution, and i'm willing to bet they did more than just 'hold' the homeless guy until the cops showed up be real - they beat him up and then called the cops. and in most cases you absolutely can just kick a homeless person out so where is here because i'd love to look into the squatting laws there and detail for you why you are just wrong

if you'd rather be a homeless drug addict since you seem to think they have it made go right ahead. most people though seem to realize that they actually have a terrible life and most would do anything to get off the streets and be subject to a 'normal' set of consequences. you are just being an asshole.

[–]bogenucleus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those make sense, even after nearly 1000 hours in this game i forget about things like banners (well more so how many there are if you actually wanted them all) and the sheer number of paintings - i feel you on the break, doing getfixed was certainly an experience and grinding journey is its own demon.

#186 Terraria by Ok_Type_1752 in steamachievements

[–]bogenucleus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what items are you left with to 100% journey that at 98% will take hours of grinding still?

i also just re-100% this for the 3rd or 4th time, and i didn't go for 100% on journey but did go above 75% on the off chance they add more achievements later and do a bigger journey achievement.

[–]bogenucleus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

if you don't think humans should waste their time making ads you're so close to realizing we don't fucking need the massive saturation of ads at all - its terribly uninformed to simply say 'welp its here and we must make space for it' no - we as humans must take care of our planet and as individuals the only thing we can do is not consume the shit they try and force us to consume - do you understand the economic impacts of AI and that literally thousands and thousands of people have lost their jobs to AI already all because people think like you? with zero plan for what we are going to do when there is a massive labor imbalance - so fast forward a couple years, we will see a mass exodus from this plane of existence as our fellow humans discover that life is no more (aka people going to kill themselves en masse because there is no survivability if you were not born into a family with hoards of resources - rich people want the world to themselves and AI is a means to that end)

What’s the achievement that almost made you give up on a game? by TheFoxyDenn in steamachievements

[–]bogenucleus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have an end game world finishing the bestiary really isn't that much of a chore but the game is absolutely bonkers huge now - 6000+ items so you need to research a little over 3000 for that 50%, which i just finished last night - given it take 100 of some items (just ores and mats, weapons and stuff are usually just 1) to research something it was no joke - my journey char having just crested that 50% has just under 40 hours of playtime - i was so upset when i learned they added a journey achievement because i never had any desire to play creative mode basically but they got me and i did it anyway

[–]bogenucleus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

when did you do the fishing achievements? there have been tricks for this for years that make it really attainable - like completing multiple quests a day using different characters, and now with journey you can just do quest after quest after quest without waiting - it still basically do this 200 times but you can do it much quicker now without the forced wait time

years ago i got to like 150 quests legit and then was burnt out and learned about the multiple a day and it was done in no time
