I’d love to have switched bodies with that server. I would’ve walked past them to their car and smashed the window open to get the dog out.

“I was carrying it for a friend.”

“Whether he was at the clinic to cause harm is still unclear to authorities.” Luckily, possession will be enough to lock him up. He could have wanted to use these items at the clinic or at his local Gamestop, but intent to harm someone, somewhere is pretty clear. And the danger of carrying explosives is pretty damn…

I recently drove through Ohio/Ill/NY on the way up to Toronto this summer. I live in Texas, so rusted out cars aren’t something we see often - partially because of road conditions not really causing it and because inspection rules are stiff here.

I get that itch. I hate moving, but I also feel weird if I’m in a single job for too long. Go figure.

Similar to my fear of suburbia. You go to the housing areas of almost any base, and while the houses might all look the same, the stuff up front, the cars, and the people all look a little different at least. If you look at the neighborhoods of the off-base folks, it’s the same way, even in neighborhoods where you…

Actually, that’s a pretty good description of my speech. Not just accent, but word choice as well. Very interesting to see that linguists have picked this up. Thanks for that comment!

Any brats have intersting accents - or in my case - almost the complete lack of one?

Similar story here. Did JROTC, pushed for academies and military schools, did ROTC *(up until the point of contract signing)* and then stopped. It’s weird, not because I ended up going into design (it was either be a designer, go into combat aviation, or just man a desk on a base somewhere), but because like you, I’m…

There tends to be interest, it’s just a matter of how it’s handled. To an extent, brats get some of the culture of their parents’ branch in their blood. It’s all a matter of how they react.

Something about how it’s different when it’s in the realm of marriage.

If the attacker closes inside of 20 feet, getting a good shot gets super hard. But stopping the attacker with preventive arrests, forced relocation, or jail time? Far easier to do and make happen.

He’s right, but barely. Saying “she coulda been OK if she had a gun when he came at her” is like saying, “man, that TD coulda been prevented if the defense stopped that running back on 4th down and the 1yd line.”

That is THE charge right there. Good call.

It’s a tag that’s used by poeple that think anything from first person needs to involve destroying shit. And yeah, I like my shooters, maybe - maybe there’s more to gaming than just trigger pulling?

You know what abstinence-only sex education is? It’s like the Maginot line of sex education. It’s immobile and once you’ve gone around it, there’s nothing left to defend with.

That text string turned ugly really, really fast.

Bleeding edge had some ability to change its physical shape, but it also had all for r-nodes on it. I’m assuming this one will sprout energy weapons and thrusters whenever it suits the writers. Doesn’t look as cool as either Bleeding edge-style suits, nor the Superior white.

I like the concept - it’s the modern take on the Modular Armor of the 90’s. Sort of a do-almost-anything solution. As for the aesthetics of the suit in default mode, it is rather bland.

Proof that it’s not even about voter fraud and totally about keeping specific demographics out of the voting process. Not that the right-leaning part of the US hasn’t had that be one of the cards in their deck for years anyways.
