The hush puppies, yes, absolutely. I don’t know many places that have the little fritters available by the tubload though. They’re what potato chips dream of being.

I feel you. The only reason I stopped is because they finally did something that didn’t allow my steam account to log into the game. I’ve been clean for a few months now.

Wanna help me get through sen’s fortress? I’m bashing my head against that wall. No matter how many times I beat the games, that place gives me nightmares as the blades knock me to my death.

.> It maaaaay be because I have stick drift and my toon will randomly stop running forwards and walk, but it maaaay be because I just hate lizards with shields.

I love that there are people like you who have the kerbal science down. I still try to get into orbit by strapping more solid fuel rockets on and smashing that space bar. I recently became quite skilled at getting up to 12 people into orbit and back down again because, goddamnit, it pays the bills for all the failed missions to the other side of the planet to take thermometer readings.

One of our captain ds is now a ‘make your own’ burger joint that ALSO, strangely enough, never seems to be busy but stays in business. There must be some sort of curse lingering in the very asbestos of the ceilings.

The only other one is the last of its kind in at least a 50 mile radius.

It’s the cracklins. Little crispy fried pieces of dough? Who doesn’t want those? Just ignore the offerings of frozen fish patties and go for the craving food.

My partner randomly had a craving for it, and for the life of me I cannot understand why. We had to drive way the heck out of our way to go get some, and it was the most hilarious experience to observe from the car. Two new friends, four fish fillets, and apparently some very odd looks as the offered drugs were rebuffed, my partner comes back in and off we go, leaving the strange place tucked in the corner of two apartment complexes behind.

;) I’m aware. I would just find it hilarious to start the next gwyneth paltrow like craze of yeasting your armpits for your ‘health.’

Who mixes yeast with whipped cream? That’s heresy! Fruit juice, strange grains, and rotting potatoes I’ll accept, but fermenting milk is the work of the devil.

Also: I’ve also never heard of a yeast infection of the armpit, so you’ve got some safe targets.

Pffft, Dnd had the ‘first diagonal 5, second diagonal 10’ rule. It worked well enough, aye?

You know, wild, insane conspiracy theory, but maybe the mental breakdown is more than just aftereffects from the stroke.

What if some republican patsy at a three letter agency has some serious blackmail on him? He’s a public figure, his actions easily scrutinized. As a senator his time, statements, and votes are public, and the government itself is doing the blackmail, so he can’t turn to anyone. If he resigns they release the blackmail. The only way to not have the blackmail released is to fake these issues. Or maybe the pressure is actually breaking him, who knows.

I’m mildly amused that you think there are any gamers on lemmy that still use microsoft. Isn’t it mandatory to use linux to access the fediverse? ;)

For ubisoft, I have no idea. Everything I seem to read around here indicates most are dissatisfied ever since one of the assassin’s creed games a decade ago or something.

The dedication of these individuals is noteworthy… What drives this persistence? Is it a deep-seated belief system that overrides rational analysis

It’s a lovely little combo of desperation and digging themselves into a hole. Most of the elements of sovereign citizens come from people who are not in good situations, as outlined by the canadian court’s very thorough opinion (which has already been linked twice in this thread, so I won’t bother it again). Once you’re in it, the same situation occurs that you can see with people in cults, mlm companies, or ponzi schemes. Maybe if you keep going, and pushing through the pain right now, you’ll get that mythical payoff. The alternative is to face the fact that you’ve likely ruined your life, rendering impossible whatever you hoped to achieve in the legal system in the first place.

The prisons that hold death row inmates are not private, for-profit companies. The numbers have been falling steadily and are incredibly low. Still a problem, because that number is high enough to have stupid amounts of influence, but it has nothing to do with death penalty costs. Those are all because we afford death row inmates a large amount of appeals, which costs ‘lawyer money’ where some prosecuting lawyer pretends he wasn’t on a salary and they claim it’s worth X hours x Y wage, and the defense attorney does the same but with a little more truth because he is getting paid by the hour.

It’s at this point, the close range scans indicate not just some “organic gases” but trillions of organisms , all of them alien, and worst of all, possessing a chirality opposite to your own.

Your immune system and their pathogens, and your pathogens, are wholly incompatible. You touch anything, you get sick and die, and they get sick and die.

Organisms on earth use right handed chirality without issue. Even humans manipulate some. Eating an alien would probably go poorly, but interacting with one (all you mass effect fans out there can lose the burgeoning boners, creeps, I mean in something as light as a ‘handshake scenario’) wouldn’t be some terrible biological curse. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10851380/ I’m trying to scratch my head to remember because it’s been a while, but I think there are archaebacteria that use the D forms even more than the normal incorporation into peptidoglycan. It’s not a death sentence.

or if it’s “natural” to be attracted to 14yr old girls as an adult man (all topics I’ve seen on Lemmy)

Wait, what?

I won’t do what you tell me.

Take your bets on how long until one of the idiots tries to monetize it. You just know that several of them began filming before taking any action to save themselves.

Group think and social pressures. It is remarkably easy for humans to find themselves behaving like those around them. The progression doesn’t even have to be fast. Imagine that when the israeli military fought wars in the mid 20th century, they started thinking of the enemy around them, and then imagine how long it has been since then with no corrective measures ever taken on those lines of thinking. NOW add in that israel has mandatory military service. The ones who choose to stay are going to be the ones that can agree and fit in with those now very evolved thoughts of hatred, and of course they will bring their own worse additions as they try to prove themselves to those the esteem, the already putrid military members ranked above them.

Don’t you have to make >6 figures to have to pay the US anything in taxes, if you’re earning the money overseas?
