You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

We are not the same.

First they came for the mice, but I did not speak up, for I was not a mouse.

I mean, I’m not French, but If nearly every single media outlet in France refused to sign their government loyalty pledge, I’d find it interesting.

See, the problem here is you’re lumping all of the US in one group, while conveniently ignoring that half of this group is against the use of firearms and is for gun control, and the people who have wet dreams about mowing down “the gays” are the biggest owners of said guns.

“Dutch government does X”

“It’s them fuckin Americans again”

They convinced themselves that every other major government in the world, as well as every single scientist and most other people were lying to them about Covid.

I remember extended family members going on about how it’s a hoax as they were dying in the hospital from it

Some people will flip the universe inside out, upside down, and throw it in a blender to make their world view okay.

“Yeah, he finally leaned left in the end” was apparently not an appropriate joke for the family group chat.

And now I know my sister is racist, so…

Lmao ban weather because rainbows make you gay

Oh yeahhhhhh

Apologies for those who have now lost the rest of their day…

And gadsden flag, and trump flag, and thin blue line flag.

You will need more than 40 jars of pickles to survive.

You’ll need like… At least 100.

“officer nearly ODs on femtanyl after touching ________ laced with the drug”

Was a headline I saw multiple times over the last 5 or so years.

The problem is that there pushing their culture onto everyone else.

This is so fucking priceless, it should be in a museum.

Please inform me which part of their culture they are “pushing” on everyone else, that way I can ask you why it’s okay for the straights to do it, but nobody else gets to.

LGBTQ people exist. That’s something you can never, ever change. So maybe get over it and stop saying that them existing in public is somehow negatively impacting anyone who isn’t just a scared little bigot.

Quickest way to stop massive Russian losses: TURN AROUND and march your happy asses to Moscow, and have a few words with the shit bags in power.

Fuck, even just every soldier going home would cripple any ability to punish them for being AWOL.

Is it original? Not even a little.

But that’s why we have come to expect it at least once in any game with waterfalls.

Honestly, I’m cool with it being an explicitly empty chest. Like put a journal next to it of some guy who looted it and left a note taunting anyone who thinks such an obvious place to hide treasure would remain un-looted. (and then let me track them down and stab them a bit for the taunt)

So many options, and all it takes is putting a lil something something behind some water curtains.

If your game has 10,000 I expect to find something interesting behind at least one. And as long as there’s one, I’m content.

And I will still check the other 9,9999 even after being told there’s nothing else.

Vanilla pudding in mayo jars.

Blue sport drink in index bottles.

They might.

Personally I mean the entire country goes back to pre-1948 borders.

I mean if we are being fair here, crush his legs, sell the car and use the money for charity. Perhaps a charity that helps people with mobility. And builds bike lanes.

Former Christian here: it is a cult. Full stop. You are throwing your decisions around based on a belief that there’s some magical perfect happy place we all get to go.

Starting from that alone means we have VASTLY different goals. So many Cultists believe no matter what they do they’re still going to paradise so fuck whatever happens here.

The staunch angry denial without a hint of reflection on how religion has undeniably damaged the world is very telling about what OP is willing to accept. I recognized religion has failed the world even when I was still religious.

No, I don’t know there’s nothing after we die, but I DO know there are things HERE AND NOW that need more ACTUAL FUCKING WORK and your prayers are worth the toilet paper I’ll print them on.

And I am so fucking tired of “well they aren’t TRUE Christians because we don’t get taught that” any of the many, many, many, many, TOO FUCKING MANY TIMES when Christians, ÉN MASSE , do shitty things. No TRUE scottsman… My brother in education, you cannot keep saying your religion is peaceful when it rather spectacularly and historically is extremely violent.

This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.

I Still hear people go on about how “it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!”

Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.

Here? “You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn’t, so the freak out was for nothing!” yeah it didn’t pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.

I’m not European, so I can’t say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.

The people’s reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn’t be lessened just because “lol you guys got so propaganda’d and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I’m so smart” is quite the take on things.
