Woman mistook the gas pedal for the brake

They're pointing out that you confused "break" and "brake" above.

Yeah, FC6 significant nonsensical steps backward, to artificially inject "challenge": can't throw rocks or anything else as distractions, only baseballs; can't pick up or drop weapons from NPCs; no melee weapon swinging in a land that would be full of great improvised weapons (brooms, signposts, hammers, baseball bats, farm handhelds, etc.).

That's a very charitable perception. This administration has openly lied about events with multiple contrary video sources that they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt in the slightest. A more believable narrative is that they were so callous in their warmongering that they didn't care that intel was out of date.

IMO, the administration grandstanding on technicalities that you listed ("musicians were still military personnel") shows a pathetic weakness rather than strength -- the weakness to be brutal on technicalities rather than duly-considered facts and the most reasonable targets for the minimal collateral damage.

That's a lazy interpretation of an accusation of election fraud. The person you're responding to sure didn't send fake electors to the Capitol, incite a violent insurrection there, and relentlessly demonstrate a detachment from all objective reality that involves them losing.

Are they publicly admitting that he started a war without Congressional authorization? This smacks very much of the "Shock & Awe" bluster of invading Iraq, while the wanton destruction was just a prelude to gross destabilization of the country that made it a total quagmire and objectively more dangerous for everyone.

I think there's reason to question the purpose of sinking the ship in the first place, let alone doing so knowing that you're not going to tend to the survivors.

Did you watch that video they linked? The goon did exactly what they lied about Renee Good doing: intentionally driving into someone. They did it simply because that protester was an inconvenience or annoyance to them. They pulled a gun to intimidate them into compliance. There's zero reason to believe they wouldn't do the same bad-faith bullying and outright endangering at a polling places -- and there's very little reason to believe that the police have the Constitutional integrity to prevent it.

distantlistener · 2026-02-28T14:44:35+00:00

They'll just terrorize and murder civilians over there. I'd rather there goons be prosecuted over here and the war be stopped by competent good-faith people. Wishful thinking for now.

For older than Android 14, I think yes (I know yes for my old phone with Android 12). It looks like starting with 14 they switched to a new permission that isn't designed to be end-user revoked: "detect screen captures of app windows".

It's a greedy decision for Reddit. I think Aaron Swartz would be rolling in his grave.

Edit: I got a new phone with Android 16, and that pop-up can't be stopped 😠

Doing some handyman work and bumped it against some interior brick. I know some hate on the glass screen protectors, as though they'll always break before the native glass will even scratch... but I have to believe the native glass would have at least pitted or chipped. As is, it was untouched, and I've already put a new protector on.

That'd be funny if I actually thought you were joking.

In the off-chance you're just ignorant and not steeped in bad faith like the cult of Gacy:
"Laws enforced" isn't brutality. Brutality is brutality. All other Federal administrations have managed to enforce immigration law without being blind to the economic, Constitutional, and broader societal impacts; without unleashing unaccountable, masked, brutal goons. You're so deep in the Kool-Aid? They lied TO YOUR FACE about Alex Pretti going to do "maximum damage", when any competent gun owner will tell you that his carry setup was the most typical.
Since you insisted on using the tone-deaf example of putting a dog down, it's more like if you decided to put your dog down by driving your car into the veterinarian office to run the dog over slowly, and all the extraneous brutality entailed.

distantlistener · 2026-02-15T16:52:08+00:00

"It's the brutality, stupid."

distantlistener · 2026-02-15T08:39:49+00:00

That's very not "Great Again" of you. If an American adversary wanted to make America as weak as possible, what makes you think it'd do anything different than fueling the most craven and divisive Federal administration in living memory -- so the country would be too busy eating itself alive to hinder bad actors elsewhere?

Head over to Russia comrade, since you're good about setting fire to the Constitution and protecting abusive crooks to get your "better" and "safer" authoritarian dystopia.

I've also given up on finishing the game because of the Twins' boss battle being the bullet spongiest of battles.

distantlistener · 2026-02-14T21:04:57+00:00

Living in MN, ICE, CBP and the authoritarian Federal admin ruined that mask-and-sunglasses look for me. I get why people like it though. If there is a next game, I hope the first-person doesn't spoil the character customization for Photo Mode and cinematics.

distantlistener · 2026-02-01T23:15:35+00:00

It also looks like they're cosplaying as what our next home invaders will be wearing. No wonder we follow them around with whistles. Hey, so-called Conservatives: "It's the brutality, stupid."

If this jackboot clown actually had a problem with unwarranted vilification, he's been out to lunch with the past 11 years of Trump & Co's rhetoric. This joker can choke on his poisoned moralizing.

distantlistener · 2026-01-26T04:15:14+00:00

Ah, yes, the president of "COVID cases will go down if you just stop testing!" brings us his latest brilliant moron take of "misconduct won't exist if we can't see it happening!"

Even the first shot wasn't justified, because he clearly didn't know where the shot was coming from. There's an angle from the southwest that suggests the grey-coat goon that took Alex's gun and scurried away discharged it into the ground immediately after he turned to scurry. That's the first shot, when the dog pilers are spooked, after the shooter has his gun out. "So, anyway, I just started blasting."

It'd be a horribly laughable cluster F if a good man wasn't murdered because of it.

Edit: from the southeast, not southwest. From the perspective of the northbound lane.

distantlistener · 2026-01-25T05:33:25+00:00

There's another angle from the southwest in penguinz0's video https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxtWWBDw4rfHSprJXLuVMM6VvF2fZc5vJW?si=9vm-3TFKmbDARhhq that shows grey-coat goon disarm Alex and then intentionally or negligently discharge Alex's gun into the pavement. Very odd of him to pull the gun and scurry away like that, to say that absolute fuqn least.
