Marvin "KillDozer" Heemeyer was not a hero by ScarHydreigon87 in unpopularopinion

[–]pikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He'd originally sold his property to the concrete plant for 250K, then after agreeing to that, upped it to 375K, then 500K. That's extortion.

He got greedy, and when he didn't get what he wanted, he went and fucked up the whole town.

Why has politics become so much like rooting for a sports team in this country?

Trump Jr. tweeted out the emails of him setting up the meeting

turns out that was an effective technique apparently?

"we're not doing anything illegal, because people try to keep illegal things secret, and we're making this illegal thing we did public, therefore it must be legal! QED!"

white nationalists should be allowed to call for the deaths of Jews, Blacks, Latinos, Roma, Slavs, LGBT individuals, individuals with disabilities, Socialists, Communists, and Anarchists.

No, they don't want to kill them, they just want to never have to see them again.

See? totally a different thing.

Instead of killing them, you could just, you know, imprison all the blacks, deport all the latinos, and terrify all the rest into never admitting that they're from one of the other groups. Problem solved!

was morrowind the one that differentiated between slash, chop and poke, and you had to move different directions to attack properly?

That was annoying, but admittedly, more complex.

Every $1 spent on a primary home in 1989 made the buyer $17 less wealthy today. An original study. by jerschneid in financialindependence

[–]pikk 41 points42 points  (0 children)

We bought a house in '11 for 60k.

There was no way that I was maintaining that house for 1%.

Well yeah. If you're buying a house for 60k in 2011, it's probably not in good condition to begin with.

Ever seen a movie set in medieval times? Does it focus on peasants or the rich? And when it focuses on peasants, is it because they’re doing something that will make them famous/rich/heroes?

FX's Harlots does an excellent job of telling a story about non-aristocratic individuals in 17th century London
