A few years ago a piece of snow that had hardened from the cold flew off of the top of a guys car and hit my windshield so hard that it spiderwebbed. Snow flying off of a car can also completely blind you for several seconds, since it often comes off all at once like an avalanche.

They also tend to have a focus on “city = bad, small town = good,” framing the original relationship in the city as being bland and out of touch, while the small town relationship is warm and attentive.

21·4 days agoBud, what? We’re talking about people who were working day after day without being fired who suddenly had enough and decided to leave. They weren’t in imminent danger of being fired prior to their resignation. So, the morning when they come in to turn in their (unexpected!) resignation, they do what they can to fuck things up a bit beforehand. Yeah, you’re right that the government could go after them for it if they weren’t smart enough to cover their tracks, but let’s be honest - the current government will likely go after them for leaving regardless.

31·4 days agoThat’s why I mentioned damage done in a couple hours - you’re not going to be fired until you do the thing you’re being fired over. It’s not like they automatically know when someone is planning to do something they’re going to be fired over; even if they somehow immediately knew you were up to something, you could probably at least attach some sensitive documents to one email before they grab you and throw you out of the building.

11·4 days agoWhat I mean is that you’re already on the inside, an opportunity a lot of people would love to have. Even if all you do is call one person to warn them they’re being watched before putting in your resignation, it’s better than quitting without doing that.
I work for a normal company, but even I’d be able to do a lot of damage in a couple hours if I really wanted to screw over my employer before leaving. Information is a big part of any conflict; even just sending whatever sensitive information you happen to have on hand to some interested parties can really throw a wrench in the works.

12·4 days agoWell, you’d at least be able to do one good thing from the inside to earn that “not contributing” badge of honor before you leave. Better than leaving without it.
I had to check to make sure this wasn’t how I first heard of our latest invasion.
Ah man, I miss Aurelio’s. They used to have a few locations in the Minneapolis/St Paul area, but the last one closed a little while ago. Their pizzas were great, but the spinach calabrese was the best.
Growing up I always held onto the previous Gameboy model whenever I upgraded so that when my parents would take away my video games I could just sneak into their room when they weren’t home and swap out the latest model for the older one. They never noticed.

9·6 days agoIt’s one thing to say it doesn’t matter, it’s another to actually try to go out and make it not matter, because the way our society works right now - especially in the last few years - it absolutely matters. The only way it’s going to change is if we go out and fight to earn equality for everyone, and even when we do that we’ll still need to be vigilant to make sure shit like this doesn’t start happening again.
Haven’t lived there for a few years, but I’m proud to call it my hometown!
Well, assuming they used plural because there are multiple in there at the same time, then they should spark just fine.

2·7 days agoIt’s true that voting in the primaries gives you more freedom to hopefully get a better candidate later, but you can go further than that. Get into local elections, and do your best to actually figure out what those candidates are about. Over time that will seed the pool of up and coming politicians with people who actually care.
Sure, it’s not likely that your local school board member will be a presidential candidate someday, but a lot of big names started small, and you have the power to help get the good ones up to that stage, and keep the bad ones from reaching it in the first place.
It’s clearly Spanish for Big Aryan.
Yeah, I can remember one or two specific instances of people choosing the worst place to stop and have a conversation, but the reason I remember them is because they happen so infrequently. I might need to say “excuse me” every so often, or squeeze by someone who didn’t leave a lot of space, but it’s never inconvenient enough to warrant remembering.
For the PS2 make sure you change the output settings to component. I got mine and spent hours trying to figure out why everything was purple. Never even thought to see if there was a setting for it until I luckily found an old forum post that enlightened me.

It’s not going incognito from the browser and websites, it’s going incognito from your computer and the other people who use it. Did people actually think incognito mode was some sort of vpn?
With regards to the people at the top of the government, the laws they’re meant to abide by only apply to the extent that the individuals themselves care about them.
To the people occupying those positions right now, those laws are nothing more than words on a paper they’re never going to read, and as a result, that’s all the power they have right now.
There’s no point in reciting laws to people who don’t know them, don’t care about them, and won’t be held accountable for breaking them.







That’s why Trump’s smart - he knows that the American people are fine with invasions without any explanation at all!
