@MAC_Arms@davidpattersonx Not to mention that it's easy enough to construct a device that renders pretty much any remote device within a fairly decent range inert. It doesn't take much from a tech perspective to amplify said range. Not legal, but possible.
@BasedMikeLee Hey Mike - it only takes 1 more senator than the 4 that are supposedly blocking the SAVE act to start the process to replace this obstructionist asshole...just sayin'.
@BasedMikeLee You're right. Another option is replacing the assclown @LeaderJohnThune who is refusing to do what America is asking for and in favor of.
@lmkifiwin Misrepresentation of the ask. If a game wasn't kept live, a patch to allow for an offline mode OR the ability to self host the game so people could host their own versions, like Rust and many other games.
Literally nobody expected servers to be kept on indefinitely.
@Factor85Labs@SnoCoPW The BSA published it in their blog in 2014, and ended it with this important term: *updated guideline*. 1980s handbook had it. Reference WaPo https://t.co/gGicjbcQ4M
I don't disagree this was done respectfully. The stick bugged me, but it's not like he can burn his arm off.
@RonnieAdkins Still doesn't justify being assholes - the kids are still doing the right thing. I don't personally like the "poke with stick" action, but it's better than "char arm" to make sure it burns completely.
@RonnieAdkins I don't care about the PPE. They have simplified the ceremony. When I went through scouts, the ceremony started with the same language, then fold or cut and burn completely. Older scouts, like me, may not be aware that the ceremony has been reduced to "place in fire."
@JohnCleese Hey, it could have had a couple of trannies dancing around topless. That would have just been the cherry on the sundae.
Honestly, what good does it do to compare or be upset? They don't know or care who we are. All we do is pay taxes and die.
@JayDarkmoore I believe some of the outrage is also the selective enforcement of the policy. Platforms that allow oppositional political voices to be found easily will be banned, while platforms like Bluesky, which are havens for only one viewpoint and certain...communities...are not.
@BasedMikeLee@BernieSanders It's strong criticism from someone who has never had nor created a job for someone else. Has only ever taken from taxpayers. Owns several homes and generated a hoard of his own wealth, certainly does nothing he speaks of in terms of charity - yet throws stones.
@Fat_Electrician This is why property tax is a scam and theft. Taxing people on value they've never earned, realized, or received but has only ever been assessed to exist by someone else is bullshit.
If I buy/sell based on that perceived value and gain, still fuck taxes, but it's different.
