Thank you for helping trigger the memory of rogue squadron, a game I spent far too much time playing. I always thought the energy/ammo were contained together in the equivalent of magazines. I vaguely remember the shadows of the empire game, and maybe the jedi knight series, having ammo packs that look a lot like boxes of ammo you’d find in a store today.

Bah, scientists who care about the phosphorus cycle are screwy in the head. Real sciency types are all about the nitrate cycle!

Personally, I love hearing that from a skeleton with a wicked crown, so let me just show you the fella (the author, because everyone gets a turn to talk like this) who can make peter parker look downright mime-like.

Nothing a good bean-laden poop hold-in won’t cure!

Just as context, despite being ridiculously over-dramatized (the music and editing is oh my god levels of eye roll), here’s a really cool video about it: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=S4O5voOCqAQ

The idea is stupid, sure, but it’s not like it’s any more sexual harassment than posting pictures of a pig’s ass repeatedly. Hexbear users (many of whom I quite like) should be used to it.

For the addicts with their finger smashing the downvote button

Lol, dude, at the 3.5 hour mark since you edited, and the 3.52 hour mark since you wrote the post, you have a whole TWO downvotes. Persecution complex much?

If my voting rights were stripped by this law, I would know what to do, and who to do it to. I wouldn’t become a secondary citizen (at best), or nothing but a (wage/birthing) slave.

It’ll speed up my slow death, I’m sure. I love forever chemicals!

Ah, cool, but what’s GNU?

I don’t think it’s a real weakness, eh? You don’t see me moaning and groaning and laying about just because it’s nearby. Superman is just acting like a big baby for dramatic effect.

Well, yeah, but what’s GNU?

I recently learned this the hard way with some woodworking. I mean, it worked, but the wood choices could have been better if I had any idea besides walking through the hardware store.

I hate you so much right now.

And the people with guns receive their orders from the President and lower hierarchies of the executive branch.

While police are generally ‘executive’ they are often supposed to take orders directly from the courts. Most warrants begin with phrasing in this manner: “[any] peace officer shall arrest…” Some states also allow judges to directly order peace officers to make arrests for offense committed in the judge’s presence without a warrant being drawn up first. Even if their boss is telling them to not do it, they should ignore the unlawful orders and get along with the handcuffing, but it won’t ever happen.

Just like how trump was soft-handed in every courtroom for the last four years, I can’t imagine any judge right now ordering his appearance at court or an arrest. Anyone with half a brain knows that he would ignore it, and it would go to the supreme court and they would rubber stamp whatever he had done as being not subject to the law because he was ‘acting in the presidential capacity.’

Yeah, but what’s GNU?

Plot twist, that’s just the furry and his long-term lover just activated the remote controlled tail buttplug he has in.

I think the impact, if any, that it has on the viewer depends on their answer to that question. I enjoyed the movie, but thought the characters acted like emotionally rife teenagers, and that the decisions they made were wrong. I’ve never felt like rewatching it. I’d make a bet that all of the others in the comments who absolutely loved the movie agreed with the characters’ ultimate decisions.

It’s because most of the people who have access, or would have access, are comfortable. The majority of people who undertake actions that will render them Public Enemy #1 are in a religious fervor, situations they think are unbearable or will end them anyway, or are hyped by the (sometimes real) thought that they are acting with the social support of everyone they care about. Luigi, as an example, supposedly suffers from horrible pain in his back, and likely thought that most agreed with him on the evil qualities of healthcare insurers.

Government employees are generally well paid and have good benefits. They’ll have families or significant mental/emotional investments in things that they don’t want to see suffer because of their actions. Even in the most liberal/progressive of areas, there will also be enough colleagues/associates around that would lick trump’s feces to ruin thoughts that ‘the majority’ of people would support their actions. The ones who are about to be fired may be pushed into a category above, but by that point they’ll have that potential access cut off.

Doubtful, eh, though a humorous take. I had the notion that the reason you see yoda, anakin, and obi-wan was because they had left such an impression on the force. Super powerful jedi, lots of effects on the galaxy. What you as the viewer (through the lens of the character) are seeing is the force itself, in its ‘mysteries’ and movements, with the image of those people, rather like if you were looking at a pool of water and see a shape of a person on the surface after a person shaped rock had been dropped in.
