The problem is that we forgot Democracy means the will of all the people is represented, and instead have adopted the belief that if half of the rest of the people agree with you it means you can cram anything you want down the throats of the rest of everybody.

This is a pretty classic case of Bureaucratic Double-Down. What’s happening now is they realized they fucked up, but are too prideful to backtrack. It’s easier for the government entity to go “Well it’s because we say so”. The only remedy right now is for some Delica enthusiast to sue the state, and then the facts…

Is it a boat that you got really cheap and you just need to stick weld the hull back together to get a marine safety?

So metal.

As a mechanical engineer, it never ceases to amaze me what we are able to engineer together. This is one of the most metal things I’ve ever seen. 

You got it - it is literally just a big chain pulling upwards and going back and forth. No teeth or anything, though sometimes the chain is carbide encrusted (this one seems to not be). Ultimately, compared to the chain, the ship is made of thin steel. This is like sawing string through aluminum foil.

It’s mostly the opposite of how I feel about things, but it’s a good answer. I feel like I lost my playfully creative side a long time ago. Games for me, lately, have been my no-thinking, low-stress, let’s get from the beginning to end, and maybe I’ll even let it hold my hand along the way kind of thing. But that’s…

Yeah, an ambush sort of implies that the’re were multiple peoples elements, secrecy, and a level of sophistication that this clearly did not have.

I think I’m makes a lot more sense in snowboarding games, given the usual mountainous setting. I didn’t play Palmer, but snowboarding games had more hidden paths from what I remember, which made them fun to explore on subsequent runs, and the games tended to have the duality of either going for a high score or winning…

Full disclosure: I just starred myself so I could get to 69. Had to be done, lol.

Had it been structural the tire would never have been able to take it out. The fact its non-structural is why it was taken out and it broke the window and hit the door. 

since the alan moore thing is bbc i would like to reiterate that as much as England has contributed to the world, their dry, absurdist sense of humor is easily my favorite contribution.

Whatever you do: Don’t Open The Door.

If it were a union job, the post wouldn’t be up yet and the tire would have wiped out one of the eight guys getting paid $35/hour to stand around and smoke butts.

It really depends on the game. You can't just lump all of esports together. The Call of Duty scene looks nothing like the Smash scene which looks nothing like the StarCraft scene.

Tread carefully with those puns.

I’d be made fun of so much if I lived in Japan, simply because I’m already a nerd and cheesy beef bowls sounds like my staple diet.

It’s not how they make a living that’s the issue. It’s how they go about doing it. No matter what job you do, you should at least be relatively professional in manner. Most esports competitors don’t seem to get this, and as such, is one of the most toxic environments.

that is what im seeing too. if you want this to work, you are going to need more buy in than just the far left and activist community . And i have spent more time trying to explain what it actually is to people put off by the term. Defund sounds like “get rid of” and thats a losing phrasing. yes, yell about white…

I hope this really is the last time because “defund the police” is a sucky slogan. If you have to explain your slogan, it sucks.
