Pffffffft, I tried testing the articulation in the legs and the right leg just popped right off.

What a fucking joke.

Does this mean it goes into the cum tribute pile?

Its all just bots posting at this stage. We are all phantoms in Cheat's mind.
Truly ghosts in the machine at this point. Cheat hasn't posted since Christmas, and that's our site admin lol.
Cheat is in pain
Terrible terrible pain.

I'm actually swamped with work. Have to dose myself with edibles most week nights just to sleep because of the anxiety.

I plan on continuing v3 eventually but yeah... lack of motivation after debugging this work project's dumpster fire repository. Can't say much because of non disclosures, but this internal project I got attached to wasn't planned well, wasn't commented, and has constant cascading compile- and run-time errors I can feel my sanity slipping every time I have to interact with it.

Stay away from Angular's Firebase library, kids.

But this is fine. :)

It really is a staple hallmark of coders and website engies to have their sanity undone isn't it.

So what happens if Cheat just dies one day and money stops funding this place's upkeep and it just goes offline out of the blue?
Then we all cease to exist.

Well thank fuck for that.

Topic with a lot of broad angles to talk about. I could see it being beneficial for medical reasons, quite a bit actually. Anybody dealing with anxiety or needing therapy of some kind. I can also see it being abused or addictive however. If internet and social media is any indicator, there's your proof. And I can't even begin to fathom the long term diseases that'd crop up.

One of the newer ones cropping up from smartphones lately is coined as digital dimentia. That arises from just brain re-wiring from constant usage. If we're talking full sensory overrides for convincing VR so that users don't get uncanny valley feelings, then I'd imagine you'd open windows to creating something like cognitive disconnects from reality.

Like any tool we make, it has the capacity for something good, but we're too retarded as a species to properly utilize much before we end up goofing it. With some of the newer tech coming out these days, it'll probably be critical that clear rules and boundries are established, which I know probably won't happen.
It still must be done. It would be fun. All the anime for people who are into it.

It's not even really a question of must. Eventually somebody will get the idea and they'll have the resources to make it happen. Yeehaw to the wonders of a new marketable thing.

Considering I'm a high school dropout the subjects weren't complicated. Hard to pick one favorite because I loved science and english in equal measure. I was always god fucking awful at math, but I don't think I hated it, just the way it was taught. I find that if I'm actually left to do mathematical calculations on my own, I pick them up decent enough, but only if they're for a subject of interest.

I have approached 5000 miles in my car already

You gotta step those numbers up man. I put three hundred on every day back when I was able to work. Oil change pretty much every two weeks was pretty shitty though.
I'm going to put roughly 3000+ when I drive to Oklahoma to visit my friend later this year. I'm looking forward for that trip.

Hope that goes well for ya. Pack spare tires, oil, and another motor belt if need be. A lot of shit can happen over the span of three thousand miles.

You don't think it's a bit of an overstatement on Trump being the worst?
Not even slightly.

While you're certainly not going to catch me defending Andrew Jackson, it's important to acknowledge that we're talking about two completely different eras here. If you're comfortable with giving Trump extra credit just for being born in the 21st century, where you can't really get away with overtly committing genocide anymore, then you can be my guest, but I'm not so charitable. The fact that we've reached a point in modern civilization where we'll probably never allow another Trail of Tears to happen again is a feather in the cap of society, not Trump.

That said, frankly, I'm perfectly comfortable with pinning 400K+ ongoing COVID deaths on the man who refused to do anything about the issue, and has even contributed to the ongoing culture of complacency that we're continuing to see in this country. Whether you agree or disagree, I think that's a perfectly reasonable and uncontroversial take on the matter.

So yeah. Worst president ever (relative to how good a president ought to be in the current year). I wouldn't call it an overstatement at all, but I'll concede that it's a statement that requires a bit of framing.

Framing indeed. That goes into tricky territory though. If you're K with pinning collateral deaths on the president then you've got to hold all the others accountable as well for their respective decision making. If that's the case, every president has a high body count if we count military activity deaths, homeless deaths, and all the other crap that's systemic in society, or respective crisis's.

Trump's an idiot to be certain, and the worst kind to boot, an economically minded one. But he's also a symptom of a greater issue at hand. I'm relatively impartial to Trump because he could be replaced by other people as a result of the same symptoms. Not exact likenesses, but they'd do their own special lasting damage I'm sure. Silly to hate the man when he's interchangable with all the other idiots. Idiots voted in by the country, idiots propped up by the corrupt government parties and their backers.

Jackson would've been the same. Not the cause of the disease, but the result of the disease. Same as Trump is. I gotta laugh at that Verb.

(relative to how good a president ought to be in the current year)

As if any of them were ever capable of being good by today's standards. They're all reflections of society. And I don't have to say the punchline about what kinda state society is in.

I wasn't really expecting to get hit with what I just did. Thought I'd stop by the archived old bungie.net and take a look at my profile. I found some screenshots I saved of something that me and my SO did together in game. She used a lag switch and we broke out of Valhalla's map boundries.

The frustration is more from the fact that other movies are airing and coming out, so it feels like Anno and Co. are just morally grandstanding, especially when they’ve already had their own private screening of the movie and comes across as excluding others who have waited eight years for closure.

I know people are stupid and all, but I struggle to fathom being angry enough at a pushed back launch date to bitch about it on twitter or whatever other garbage is out there.

Here I am waiting the fifty or so odd years to get my closure and ya don't see me bitching too much on stalled due dates. I guess I can understand the frustration. Still. Pretty easy to rationalize that they'll get to watch it at some point, unless somebody's getting antsy that they won't make it through corona.

This is just ridiculous political theater, he's not getting convicted when he has literally only a week left.
the goal, of course, is to ensure he'll never able to run again, so the number of days he has left doesn't really matter—it's about destroying his future in politics

it also piles on yet another well-deserved mark of disgrace to the worst president in history, which is also good

You don't think it's a bit of an overstatement on Trump being the worst? Andrew Jackson set a pretty high bar with what he did to the natives and advocated for. Trump advocates a lot of stupid shit but he didn't go for ethnic cleaning(yet or that I know of).

Consider me uneducated, but I've got a theory. If he gets impeached, does that not open the door for legal alteractions later on down the road after his term is up?

Trump would be much more vulnerable to legal action after his term was up. But it seems like there's not ever much for legal action taken against ex presidents(maybe due to some constitutional protection writings?)

Gonna guess that's alluding to the news sources I hear speculating that it was antifa masquerading as maga? Not that I know much about either, other than maga being trump's slogan and some vague radio broadcast I listened to that antifa are allegedly terrorists. I guess since I'm stuck on my ass with nothing better to do I may well verse myself on the current affairs of 2000 years worth of my southern meth coooking neighbors.

I thought one death was the officer that got beaten with a fire extinguisher, and the other four were rioters. One of them at least was a rioter, since she got shot through the doorway by an officer.
You are correct. I was arguing with the notion that that they were taking it easy on them (or secretly supporting them) when there ended up being so many deaths. However, after further reading, it looks like the other three were due to “medical emergencies” so maybe this was a somewhat weak point. I still disagree with demonizing the capitol police, many of whom are feeling demoralized and suicidal about the ordeal.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/capitol-police-morale-decline/

Isn't it a shitty thing in general to paint broad brush strokes no matter what side? Every group's composed of individuals and they've all got their respective sides. Super damn easy to look at one group and throw them all under the bus, and that's what hurts everybody in the long run.

Not sure how I feel about this narrative to vilify the Capitol Police in a scenario where they were incredibly overwhelmed and that resulted in five lives lost.

It's reasonable to assume that the response would have been different if it was ANTIFA or something (a discrepancy between police responses in right-wing vs left-wing protests is a fact supported by data) but the National Guard probably would have been called much sooner. They were withheld by President Trump, who was reportedly pleased with the riot while it was occurring. I don't think I can fathom why democrats or republicans would want to be stormed by an angry mob of fascists and conspiracy theorists, when they were literally in the building.

The video of them "letting them in", is actually the police falling back because they knew they wouldn't be able to hold their position. The only person waving them in is some guy in a hoodie and sweatpants. Not sure what to make of the selfie guy, but to my understanding there's an investigation going on.

There's not some big conspiracy here. The only villains are the mob members that were chanting "hang Mike Pence" and had combat gear and zip tie hand cuffs, our dangerous rogue president, and the GOP members that continue to enable him.

Feel free to fact check me on any of this.
