  • I was literally thinking about this instance when I wrote the comment. I just put squeaky shopping cart cause it's funnier and the actual instance makes my blood boil due to the sheer unyielding cowardly stupidity on display.

  • Oh mine friend, we havent even gotten to half the shit the Romans were doing during both the Republican era or the Imperial era.

  • Hey now it didn't get everyone, Covid barely affected me. Mind you I'm an insular bastard who is living up to a bunch of 1800s and 1700s stereotypes about American-Scots being insular mildly violent bastard who want to be left alone.

  • In the mildest defense of the cops it is probably that there are two types of killers amongst their ranks, the bloodthirsty ones who really just want a fight but are too unstable for the military and the absolute stupid cowards who legit would open fire on a particularly squeaky shopping cart cause it scared them. The first may very well be giddy about the concept of fighting ICE.

  • Now that is a fair point to make, though I do suspect that has more to do with the size of the state relative to how much of it is if not nice then livable. Lots of nooks and crannies that are remote but not entirely away from civilization, and within civilization there are lots of insular little gatef fuckwad communities.

  • Cause they're gormless cowards who were told to hate her? Frankly speaking if you ever get the chance compare a garden variety cut off from media dipshit to one that is balls deep into watching fuckwads like Jordon Peepeeman and Charlie Owmyneck.

  • We are the most populous state by a solid chunk so I'd kinda expect that. Also NorCal and the Hi-desert have a lot of backwoods militia types, also we have a lot of cults what I wouldn't do to purge all those fuckwads cultist up in the San Bernardino mountains. Cults sully the precise murderous madness of San Bernardino with their love bombing dishonest bullshit, if you are gonna stab a man do it to their face.

  • Personally I suspect such a situation would still be better for the American people long term, much like how the collapse of the Western Roman Empire resulted in its stagnant rotting systems being overhauled. Though it's hard to say how the red states would react, I could definitely see a couple defacto genocides occuring because some Evangelicals and/or Mormons go nuts and tried doing a Justinian only for it to be a Francisco Solano López.

  • Also depending on how bad the whole situation could get it could legit implode the federal government as a whole. I really don't see the feds under Trump doing even the bare minimum that was Hoovers anti-depression policy which while the absolute minimum was enough to keep the states from effectively becoming completely autonomous, and even then California, Louisiana, and the Alaska territory were effectively independent in a lot of ways.

  • Ya know I get tell this is some variant of a Germanic language but for the life of me all I'm seeing is the tongue of Rlyeh.

  • Even then some of the professionals will get nuked as well, frankly speaking it's the cautious, experienced, and old who will handle this best those who have seen the previous ones in some way be it with their own eyes or through history who will get out.

  • Now I'm imagining Jesus and the apostles pulling through a Burger King drive through with the apostles piled into the bed.

  • Why would it be optimistic? Between the firings, the general stupidity of those at the top, and folks quiting its probably pretty damned ruff on the back end, thats not even getting into the damage done since Reagan and folks doing subtle sabotage or just sitting on their hands.

  • Whenever I see the back of the vest pull I can't help but think of how my kin would just grab the back of by overalls and carry me when I was real little. Difference is I was a little shit and got in trouble on purpose to have it done, these dipshits are just too stupid

  • Pretty much yeah, there's a reason why some of the last independent stores are convenience stores. It's because they're relatively cheap to operate and you don't need a particularly large customer base to maintain profitablity, frankly speaking the problem they usually run into is zoning regulations and not being more mixed into residential.

  • You can get the Evangellion dub off of internet archive, found that out a couple of days ago cause bored.

  • Also just a bad business model as well, trying to be a shittier more expensive Walmart or Target is pretty stupid. If it was just the pharmacy, food, and maybe clothes if they were cheap the business would've probably done better.

  • Also Nat guard are probably getting pissy. Most of them have jobs and proper responsibilities, imagine how fucking annoyed they may get when they get stupidly deployed for no reason when they just want benefits while doing the occasional disaster relief.

  • Play a game with complex audio simulation and go wild for a bit. May not be 100 percent but it may be variable enough to cause it. If you can't find a game with such a thing, look at the Fallout NV and 4 Nexus modders are batshit.
