Money, to a degree, is power. If you decide that everyone with any power is against you, you’re pretty much consigning your side to total powerlessness.

“Good news, everyone! I seized enough power to give us universal healthcare!”
“But now you’re an elite! Fuck off!”

In most contexts, you’d just say…”people”.

Or, if you’re actually trying to make a demographic-wide statement, like how women aren’t good at video games, you’d just say:

“IGNORE ME, I AN A SEXIST MORON.”

Basically, the meme isn’t much meant for the word choice, it’s how often incels have statements to make on half the population.

Comes up in the new Indiana Jones game, where he deciphers a tome stating a need for holy blood - and his priest friend just hands him a bottle of wine.

I kind of like not religiously following digital payments. They’re governed by Visa and other payment companies, and some of the businesses near me have started feeling an increased squeeze from them. They sometimes appreciate cash payments.

I was curious about this. For some home smart locks, they have a kind of nose ring on the bottom where you can hold a 9V battery against it, and use that to power the entry system (which only needs you to enter a code) until you can change the inner battery.

I’ve had this issue in a story I’m writing, because one faction in this story is fighting for a cause that’s essentially good, but they’ve become extremely jaded by lack of change and have resorted to extremely violent measures. So it’s obvious the government they’re fighting would call them terrorists, but a hundred years later, history should view them with reserved optimism. It’s hard to categorize how the narrator and heroes should view them though, since the heroes don’t necessarily directly cooperate.

Somewhat off topic, I had an idea for a slightly cheesy visual novel:

You play as a woman who has relatively large breasts. The game is entirely first person and you never actually see her, just people acting in oafish ways around her as she desperately tries to make a professional career.

Curious if that would sound silly/interesting to some people.

I feel like wayyy too many engineer minds lean back on “too vague” without understanding how many judgment calls judges make in cases every day. It’s not uncommon for them to have to decide what someone’s intent or knowledge was when taking a certain action.

Apparently, they’re terrible for cold climates since the lack of material fails to retain heat.

When it costs that much, the choice makes sense.

But where I live, for whatever reason, Subway is less than half the price of full meals from nearby restaurants. That is in part because restaurants have gone up in price.

“Black, white, you’ll still not experience what it’s like to be blue. Or have your deed of slavery cursed into a literal lamp.”

Something often missed about Gandhi’s efforts was that it was still more about what he did do than what he didn’t (violence). He still used resistance and force, including illegal actions that he believed were just, and massively hurt Great Britain’s bottom line and sense of control.

The trick is to locate efforts that aim to accomplish that in modern US politics.

He probably should run for president, since apparently it’s “not fair to sentence him before the election is decided”.

I get bothered that “killers” in comics always go WAAYY too far, and slaughter by the dozens.

I would definitely like a vigilante superhero that stops a purse mugging, talks to the guy about his strife, and sets him up with a respectable parole officer - then later that night, shoots a corrupt judge dead.

No, PEOPLE delivered us Trump. Not politicians.

“I can’t believe you didn’t do a good enough job convincing me to go with a better option” is a disingenuous attitude that removes intentful culpability from voters.

I enjoyed my Vita for its portability, and I didn’t even jailbreak it to emulate games. For a long time, any indie dev releasing on PS3 would put their game on Vita as well.

There’s a bit like this in Daredevil. They’ve been tracing some shadowy acts back to Wilson Fisk, a horrible rich man nobody’s heard of. A top journalist is preparing an article on his actions based on circumstantial evidence.

Fisk, reading the situation and retaliating, opens a press conference introducing himself and voluntarily makes his name known to get on people’s good side.

I do not blame people who voted for third parties or write ins. At worst, they make a compelling point to campaigns - that there are many voters that are active, but want another option.

I found both jokes funny! It got me twice!

It would be fun to make a “No Swipe Image Viewer” app that lets you pick an image to share - and then presents some searing penalty like a screamer to anyone who swipes to the side.

Just be warned, not for the elderly or faint of heart.
