“In fact! [Opens wallet] Hey Mac, now that you’ve announced your IPA I think I’d like to get in on the action and invest a little, what do ya’ say? How many shares you got and what’s your ask?”
Please, I have exactly two brain cells to rub together and I can’t have either of them to getting distracted.

“That’s where you’re wrong, Deandra. Corporations are people, an’ they got a right to own property, votes, and elected officials as much as anybody else! So I say if Mac wants to dedicate himself to generating profit for his shareholders then that’s his right and I’m not gonna stand by while you try 'an take it from 'em!”
USB-A walked so USB-C could fly.
It sounds like he cocked it before raising it, his thumb slipped off the hammer at the end of the action, and then —with his finger in the guard— he reflexively tightened his grip and discharged it.
Same thing can happen with semi-automatic pistols when you hit the slide release and all the weight slams forward: you accidentally pull the trigger to keep your grip, and then it discharges.
NSFL isn’t as common as NSFW but it’s still an established acronym.
I feel like people could benefit from what I know about Butt Stuff™.
[I awaken as a shadow of my former self, a figment of the late-night scroller you met so long ago. I return to you now, humbled and broken by time and nature, and in my defeat I must profess that In my state I find myself unfit to take up the weight of the banner which I swore to bear.]
Yes, the very same Brock Allen Turner, convicted rapist of an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, who only served three months.
I dislike you 16-year old boy, Sycamore Gap Feller.
I dislike you as I dislike Brock Turner, Convicted Rapist.

It’s different than you might imagine. There’s a certain unmistakable mix of institutional power, mandate, callousness, and incompetence that makes state execution’s uniquely awful.
Secrecy under pain of death.
(You got the reference.)
Inscryption.
I am not at liberty to elaborate.
For a moment I thought this was about something happening in DayZ
No, yeah, that checks out. Police Stations are a hot spot for loot.
For anyone else who works in these sorts of environments don’t be afraid to buy an aggressive hair net or bandana. If your hair gets entangled you’ll be lucky if a scalping is the most of your injuries.
What do you do with the democratic process
There’s more than one way to run a democracy, and more than one way to tally votes; it just so happens that the way we’re currently doing it —First Past The Post Voting— is utter shit; it’s the lynchpin of the two party system and systemic corruption.
If we commit grassroots focus to electoral reforms in favor of Ranked Choice Voting then all these insidious actors will find power to be much more slippery.
Don’t be surprised.
Everyone here is either indoctrinated enough to be here for it, powerful enough to be above it, or disassociated enough to endure it.
It’s just what happens after 22 years of social shock doctrine (I made that term up. I will not elaborate. Ama closed).
Valid, but let’s not move the goal posts; new light bulbs were specifically questioned and, thanks to someone’s willingness to do some research and number crunching, light bulbs were specifically answered.
Let’s at least give thanks before we vault off to the next, existentially exhausting, item on the list of climate change issues.
It’s not like we don’t have time. Right xuys? Right?
The next step is pretty difficult, as far as I can tell. Survival at task will require crime, suffering, and mutual aid.
Paint.net is nice because it has plugin support.
I don’t know about PPOs, but your HSA contributions should also be pretax.
