I don’t want any of those things

Worst trilogy ever.

If you pay me $1,000,000 I will consume an entire pineapple, skin and all. This is my final offer.

I wish I could see it just one more time.

There’s something endearing about a young person trying to look cool by being edgy, completely oblivious to the fact that everyone sees through their facade. When a middle aged man is still trying to look cool by being edgy it’s decidedly less endearing.

I believe the answer is “oooooohhhhhaahhhhghhh”

You’ve already admitted that you have absolutely no plan for the consequences of your action. At best you’d doom us to a decades-long civil war like the Troubles in Ireland, at worst you’d doom us to live under an authoritarian regime led by an ultra violent strongman. Neither of those scenarios guarantee or even improve our odds of reaching solutions to the problems you’re trying to murder your way out of.

Your entire plan boils down to “kill a bunch of people now and we’ll maybe figure out how to deal with the fallout along the way” and yet it’s somehow everyone else who can’t see the forest past the trees.

To be clear, when you say people who have a conscience you’re talking about people who would slaughter those whose politics you personally, as judge jury and executioner, have deemed unacceptable?

You’re absolutely deranged, my guy.

When everyone you talk to is an asshole, you’re most likely the asshole. Your post and comment history is absolutely littered with violent rhetoric and you have a bad habit of angrily lashing out at anyone who disagrees with you, often resorting to childish name calling rather than engaging in meaningful conversation. It shows a complete inability to have a discussion outside of an echo chamber of your own personal view, which are squarely in an extreme end of the spectrum.

Perhaps the reason you can’t find a place where you can have a pragmatic discussion is because you yourself are incapable of having such a discussion, not that such places don’t exist. It’s like the old saying goes, “wherever you go, there you are.”

Tbf there are probably far-right people who are more like the latter. Just b/c I do not recall ever hearing those arguments does not mean that they don’t exist!

Those people are working with the heritage foundation and other far right think tanks. They understand that their brand of mask-off fascism is problematic to a lot of people, so they allow their ideas to percolate through various right wing media outlets and entertainment personalities. By the time their ideologies reaches the mind of your average voter they’ve been neatly repackaged as “hey we’re just asking some questions here, we just want to get the facts straight.”

So do they just know absolutely nothing about RMS?

It’s easily the best option on this image. Nothing else even comes close in terms of visual clarity and simple aesthetics.

where are the safety chains?

One problem is that there’s a massive upfront cost to get into VR as a consumer. Even the cheaper headsets are several hundred dollars, similar to a full console purchase. Which means not a lot of people are going to invest in the hardware, which means there isn’t as much of a market to produce games for, which means not a lot of people are going to invest in the hardware, etc etc etc.

On top of that, VR has the awkward problem of locomotion. Either you’re teleporting around the game world, getting motion sick moving around the game world, or standing in one place at all times. None of these options are ideal, and the only real solutions to this issue involve insanely pricy hardware purchases.

Maybe one day we’ll figure it out, maybe we’ll all be living in tubes playing games with our minds or whatever.

I’ve seen what AI thinks a hand looks like. I don’t think I’m ready to see what it thinks a dick looks like.

Quit.

The Office is a goofy workplace comedy when viewed through the lens of an audience member, but Michael Scott is an objectively terrible boss and a shitty person.

He’s constantly making comments that are racist, sexist, or otherwise ignorant and unacceptable in the workplace.

He can’t keep any information confidential, as seen when he outs Oscar for being gay.

He refuses to let anyone be “above him” such as when he ruins Phyllis’ wedding because her father made a great toast, or when he gets kicked out of the boat party for refusing to let the captain do his job.

“Oh but he cares so much about his employees! 🥺” No he doesn’t. That’s why he insists on making his employees tend to his slightly burnt foot instead of dealing with Dwight’s concussion. Oh, and let’s not forget the time he sabotaged Jim’s promotion by straight up slandering him to David Wallace.

I would rather be unemployed than working for such an insufferable man child like Michael Scott. The Office might be fun to watch, but it would be hell to live through it every weekday from 8-5.

How does Wojack Tate look so much like the real thing?

When I’m in a ridiculous burger ordering contest and my opponent says “I’ll take a Double Triple Bossy Deluxe, on a raft, four-by-four animal-style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.”

The weird part is absolutely “a lot of sand puppies biting this dude’s arms at the same time somehow turns them and him into an immortal worm.” With that context, “they stop being a worm by not biting him anymore” makes perfect sense.
