Trump Had His Own Brain Freeze Moment Like Biden This Week
  • That's funny, but they're literally living a different life than us. Biden gets the best government-paid care possible while Trump uses his scammed billions to give him every luxury he doesn't deserve.

  • 'It's a mess': Biden turns to family on his path forward after his disastrous debate
  • We’ve already got a “not Trump” candidate who is good enough for now.

    False. We have a good enough president. Who's behind in the polls and was already making people think he was too old, and that was before the debate. Then, he was freezing, saying the wrong thing, forgetting things, and appearing confused, while replying with an unconfident, raspy voice. Worst of all Trump offered him up softballs in the form of easily shut down lies and opportunities. Speaking of opportunities, this was the one as many eyes would be on him to see the difference between him and Trump. Any other competent candidate and debater would have eviscerated Trump.

    I truly believe Joe is good for the country, but that won't matter if he can't win...

  • Police in New York shoot and kill 13-year-old holding a pellet gun, authorities say
  • If this gets mistaken for a real gun, somebody will call the cops on you, and they'll KILL you for real!

    That's absolutely insane, that us Americans have to think this way. Getting murdered by law enforcement shouldn't ever be a near-certainty.

    Active shooter

    You keep using that term, but I don't think you understand it. Unless someone has started shooting people, there's literally no active shooter. No one would call that in, and police officers arriving on scene would also determine there's no active shooter, if they're actually doing their job. People might call the cops on a child with a toy gun (don't do that), but the police officer is responsible for discerning the true situation before using lethal force.

    And a kid with a gun is just as deadly as an adult with a gun.

    I'm no gun nut, but just having a gun doesn't make someone a threat any more than having a knife, a vehicle, a frying pan, etc. It certainly doesn't make them an imminent threat that has to be killed immediately. The US has way too many guns, but still: just the existence of a gun doesn't make someone a danger worthy of killing.

    #But.

    With all that said, in this actual interaction, the police stopped the boys and one of them pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the officers. I've long since stopped giving cops the benefit of the doubt, but if it happened exactly like they said, legal force was absolutely justified in this case. It was later discovered that it was a replica GLOCK 17 Gen 5 handgun with a detachable magazine.

  • Does this post cause anybody else's android app to hang?
  • Yes, when I tap in that erbff image and close it, Sync freezes for a few seconds and I then get a pop-up that Sync is not responding. Seems fine after waiting a few more seconds though, app never fully crashes. Pixel 8/Android.

  • The Sales Will Continue
  • Did you know that you can move things between drives? No one plays their entire Steam library at the same time, but I can store much of it ready to play on large-capacity HDDs, which are dirt-cheap. If I suddenly got back into Skyrim again, I'd spend a few minutes moving it to one of my SSDs.

  • Gig Souls?

    Not sure if this is allowed, so feel free to remove:

    My new favorite "fuck around" activity is to employ "gig phantoms". I summon a friendly phantom, then wave and run toward a dog or easy enemy. I point toward it, at which point they dispatch it! I then emote Joy, or Jump for joy, drop the Thank You carving, leave them 1 Ember, then send them home. If you haven't tried it, it's absolutely hilarious...

    WTF is a risa!?

    Hello. It's hugely annoying to look at "community information" and find just an in-joke that won't make sense to most people, and no explanation of what this community is about. I'm sure that's fine for those already initiated, but I still don't know what "risa" means!

    Don't worry, I also know you don't care that outsiders are kept out-of-the-loop and maybe even want to keep them out...? Well, that's fine; it's your community, but just a reminder that the casual browser will probably filter this community after several spammed posts that don't even clarify where their interests lie...

    EDIT: Don't worry, I'm gone, and I've turned off reply notifications... I have even watched Star Trek! But don't fret, your caustic and hostile replies have ensured you're safe from the curiosity of myself and others, they won't bother you any more! Enjoy your gatekeeping...
