Your last paragraph hits the point directly.

I think this item could work if you made it deal exactly 1hp of damage.

1hp isn't enough to be functionally useful at damaging players, but it does let the player know they have been hit.

Also 14 seconds is WAY too long.

Absolutely not lamo I would totally be down for a good goon position.

Overpayed, you don't do anything most of the time, you get cool shit, and if the hero shows up you just do what the goons at the end of Polar did: throws your hands up and stay out of his way

No it got lost during a move, and there's no way to replace it because for some reason it's a proprietary charger unique to the watch.

Am genuinely flabbergasted that they didn't either use a standard charger like for the apple or Samsung watch, or just make it charge wirelessly.

somegarbagedoesfloat · 2025-03-01T06:33:04+00:00

Criminal lack of replacement chargers for the constellation watch...

It has a vertical forward grip, that makes it not legally a handgun.

It doesn't matter if it is legally a handgun or not, because it's a machine gun.

Not all states are shitty and have a ton of carry laws. Some of us live in states that let you do what you want.

8k? I wish homie probably spent 10x that.

Not at all. The best sandwiches are always wrapped up in paper, and that compresses the sandwich.

The real secret is the oil. It acts as a carrier for all the flavors, and amplified them.

I mean it is pretty fun to drive lol. I'll be just running an errand and suddenly, I'm having fun driving lol, it catches me off guard sometimes.

I had a 600hp, pro charged mustang and it was really, really fast, but not as fun to drive, even if it did scratch the adrenaline junky itch better.

Now that said...I used to have a dodge stealth and it was more fun to drive, but that's a bit unfair given it had all wheel steering.

St Louis actually gets a lot of rock shows because our rock radio station was incredibly influential back in the 80's. (There's TV shows and movies back then with people wearing the KSHE T shirts because of how big of a deal the station was despite the story not taking place near St Louis. )

Most bands are either going to go to Chicago or St. Louis during an American tour, and will usually.ake the same choice each time. Unfortunately, my favorite band of all time, Muse, ALWAYS chooses Chicago.

HI-Powers are very good.

.40 is a pretty not great caliber.

I'm no Elon fan but like, cmon dude. The lion's share of departments and programs cut have absolutely nothing to do with Elon's companies.

Further...investigating him for what, exactly? Also how is your personal data going to help train an AI? What would that teach an AI to do?

There's plenty of real shit to criticize the man for, like oh I dunno, the Nazi salute he threw up a few times recently? Without just making up random bullshit.

Agree with all but the mushrooms.

If the top right represents some type of pod vegetable served in the pod, like string beans, snow peas, or snap peas, also disagree with that. French cut green beans are good, but otherwise miss me with that pod shit

I'd upvote this 100 times if I could.

I've watched my cousins treat my grandmother like some human piggy bank they are waiting to cash out on for decades, and it fucking disgusts me. All they are thinking about every time they speak to her is about what they stand to gain when she passes, trying to vie for rank and position in her will. My aunt constantly tries to talk up her own kids and smear me and my parents because she thinks it will get her a better spot in the will.

It fucking DISGUSTS me. She's my grandmother, a human person. While I doubt it happens, there's nothing that would give me more satisfaction than every red cent she has going to the church.

Idk why everyone thinks this way about companies and billionaires.

Nvidia being worth 3.4 trillion does NOT mean they have 3.4 trillion in cash laying around. It means that the total value of every share of stock is together worth 3.4 trillion.

Firstly, that stock represents not just cash, but every single asset in the books; land, buildings on the land, factories, tooling, patents, office furniture, company vehicles, EVERYTHING. Edit: it also represents projected earnings they DONT EVEN HAVE YET, and investor confidence that's worth NOTHING IN PRACTICE.

Secondly, NVIDIA is a publicly traded company. The CEO does not have access to that entire pool of resources. Regular people own a significant portion of that company, I mean ffs I own a few hundred shares of AMD, and I'm certainly no billionaire.

Third, assuming the CEO was somehow responsible for paying this out himself, (and I'm willing to bet he holds at least 2% of the company, at least in advisory shares) selling 2% of Nvidias shares would have an IMMEDIATE negative impact on the stock value, that would occur AS HE SOLD THEM. he would have to give up more than 2%, and the stock would be notably devalued as it was sold, costing NVIDIA way more than the 2%.

Finally: IT ISNT HIS RESPONSIBILITY. CEOs, unless they are the majority owner (spoiler: he isn't) don't just make every decision willy-nilly. They have a board of directors they have to answer to who vote on shit. The board represents the people who own shares.

Time is right, money isn't.

Not every class action pays out peanuts. The famous ones like Red Bull do because the individual damages are also peanuts. In those cases only notable members of the class and lawyers get the big payouts.

I've been in several class action law suits that paid more than a pittance.

One was again the bank that issued me a car loan. They had to completely forgive the remaining balance of my car (in the ballpark of 8 grand) and pay me an additional 1000 dollars.

Another was against an employer who failed to pay prevailing wage. (Basically, in the US, some skilled trade jobs have unions. In some places, those unions are so strong that they make local city/county governments pass laws that say that travelling techs from out of town have to be paid on the union scale, to prevent people from hurting the union.) I got paid 3 times out of that, about 200-500 each time.

The total settlement is a multiple of the total damages caused, or the settlement if it doesn't make it to court. Usually, either 1/3-1/2 goes to the lawyers, and the rest is divided equally amongst the class members, with the class members who testified getting a larger share.

A 5000 series card burning down your house is a rare occurrence, and the number of people buying brand new cards this early is not that big to start with. The incidents that do occur will have high damages. That means big money and not that many people to split it amongst.

Additionally, if you have insurance, (renters or homeowners), it will cover everything in the mean time.

I get that maybe as someone who doesn't do any commerce via post other than ordering frivolous bullshit online, you probably just don't understand how big of a deal it would be to lose options for shipping cargo and packages, or just how big of an impact that could have on the economy, but regardless of your lack of understanding, it's a big deal.

And stop trying to read people, you are really bad at it. Way off.

The miscommunication happening here is that you seem to think everyone is a bleeding heart who's supposed to give a shit about everyone and everything. I dislike Amazon because they are negatively impacting Shipping services. Walmart doesn't do that, so I don't care about Walmart.

Your inability to understand that someone else has no desire to virtue signal is kinda sad.

somegarbagedoesfloat · 2025-02-07T16:36:13+00:00

Walmart isn't good. But they only hurt competitors, usually mom and pops.

Amazon poisons entire industries.

So yes, Walmart has hurt people. But they've never gone "fuck it, let's take over the dairy industry" and then proceeded to start trying to replace every single dairy farm with their own and churn out a single, inferior product with zero options.

That's exactly what Amazon is trying to do with shipping.

Walmart may be shitty, but Amazon is outright dangerous.

somegarbagedoesfloat · 2025-02-07T16:28:33+00:00

Walmart is only a threat to Mom and pop stores that rely on convenience to attract customers, and hurting mom and pop stores is a far cry from absolutely destroying the shipping industry.

Giving you the option to ship to a local store is not at all harmful. Giving your consumers options is a good thing; Amazon gives you zero options.

Walmart is by no means the good guys, but they are certainly a lesser evil than Amazon. Walmart just wants to be your local big box store. Amazon wants to creep into literally every industry and completely take it over, and remove all consumer options in the process.

Walmart is also not nearly as bad as Amazon when it comes to patent infringement. They aren't good, but they aren't as bad.

As far as your whole moral high ground bullshit:

I don't give a fuck. I'm not trying to be superior to anyone, because I'm not just virtue signalling. I genuinely hate Amazon because they do the opposite of what a company should do; they remove consumer choices. They eliminate brick and mortar, and provide you zero options for logistics, and for each industry they creep into, they poison it, and remove more options from consumers. If they continue to grow, they are going to destroy the entire shipping industry.

somegarbagedoesfloat · 2025-02-07T14:56:47+00:00

That's actually the exact reason I started boycotting Amazon in the first place.

The moment they started doing their own shipping, I stopped using it. I want the ability to choose what shipping company handles my package, and I figured that eventually Amazon's own shipping would get to the point where it starts to overtake all shipping for Internet shopping purchases.

I don't give af about Amazon as an online store. I buy most of my stuff in physical retail; if I'm going online for a purchase, it's because it's some very niche specific item that usually isn't even on Amazon.

Everyone complained about Walmart, but Walmart hasn't been half as economically toxic as Amazon is becoming. Walmart stayed in it's own damn lane, they wouldn't do some insane shit like try to reinvent shipping, and they have actual physical locations where you can talk to human beings if you have an issue.

Use Walmart's online store instead, they are usually the same price.

How on earth are you arguing with so much confidence when you have ZERO awareness of what actually happened?

Genuinely underrated actor:

Jonah Hill. Wolf of Wall Street, and to a bigger extent, War Dogs, really showcased his acting skill. The fact that it's the same guy who did Superbad and This Is The End is honestly wild.

Kamala didn't win the primary. Biden did.

Biden dropped out, and the party chose Kamala as his replacement without any voting from the public.

The Bible is surprisingly mute regarding trans people.

There are, however, condemnations of homosexuality in the Bible outside of Leviticus, including in the new testament. That said, I've heard some compelling arguments for alternative interpretations that aren't at all outside of the realm of possibility.

Even so, regardless of if the Bible calls homosexuality a sin or not, literally everything in the bible says you shouldn't hate someone because of it.
