The same people who make rules about age and costume are the same people that give out popcorn balls and candied apples.

There’s something wrong with you.

Oh absolutely. The carbon footprint was bullshit from the oil companies to put the onus on individuals to fix it while not giving people any options. It was all bullshit. That being said, I do have some guilt. Or at least feel it. Less because I was making bad decisions and more of a “survivors guilt” kind of thing. That’s not the right term, cause I’m going to die before the younger generations. But I feel guilt just because my child and millions of others will get a worse and worse end of the stick than I got just because of when they were born. This is why I argue with boomers about the difference between generations.

Like, you had the American dream fucking handed to you. Do you not feel some kind of guilt for getting a degree for $8k, a house for $35k, and a top of the line vette costing $4.5k? Even at the lower rates of pay, that’s a fraction of the budget compared to today. If I had it that easy, I would absolutely feel bad for people coming up behind me. And yet, VERY few boomers acknowledge this, and that is why I’m so hostile to them.

Yeah I agree. But I could have chosen more fuel efficient cars when I was younger. Bought less shit I didn’t need. I could’ve done more. Yeah it’s not entirely my fault, we’ve been thrown into the gauntlet, what can you do if you wanna live? But the children born now, or God forbid even later are going to find themselves in a hellscape of an economy and ecosystem. And my heart goes out to them because they’ll get less than I had, less freedom, less upward mobility, less drinkable water, less food, less breathable air, and be more fucked by everything. The longer we push it, the worse it gets for the people who had less to do with it.

I sympathize with the children that had nothing to do with it.

I was in a medical unit. Almost entirely democrats, except the motor pool.

I don’t think that’s what they want to use it for. Disinformation is super easy. What they want to do is use bots to gather Intel on citizens.

Oh it absolutely was. It was a weak POS that would last forever. The thing was in service since 1977. I have a 2.0l in my MX-5, and that engine is incredible!

1994 Pontiac sunbird. 2.0 liter iron duke had 80 hp when it was brand new. God knows what it was by 2001. Thankfully it had a manual transmission, but that thing REEEEAAAAAALLLY struggled on the smallest hills.

Some, it depends how high they are. I’ve also seen a lot of em being chased. It’s good for the lulz.

For me it was call of duty 3. Right before one of the most epic runs of a series of all time. But the graphics blew me away. Some of the in-game graphics looked just like old war videos. It was crazy how real everything felt.

Yeah but that’s volunteers to get their sentence taken away. So far they haven’t forced a uniform on prisoners yet. Just distant minorities.

Back when I had my 04 GTO, I was driving down a 2 way, 4 lane road and randomly spun out on slush, ended up spinning 3 times through an intersection I meant to turn right at, wound up in the left lane, on the other side of the road… So I just took a left instead.

It wouldn’t end them ENTIRELY, as there were ruthless organizations before drugs, too. What it would do is make it much less profitable. Meaning less to kill someone over.

I’m surprised that fucker doesn’t have a yacht yet. But I guess why buy one when you can ride on all of your friends yachts?

Facebook as a product is over. It’s like 90% ads. I almost never see my friends posts anymore.

The good thing about the fallout series is that unless you’re in survivor, you can generally carry enough to deal with the encounter. It’s not like far cry where you’re just like “FUCK! WORST possible timing!” And it was always like a stupid fucking badger or something. I don’t even mind coming across death claws. I’m carrying 15 mini nukes, 120 stimpacks, leveled up power armor and enough ammunition to make lead poisoning a bigger environmental threat than the rads.

Ignoring an infection doesn’t make it go away. It makes the infection get worse and worse until it kills the host.

Well my good-faith arguments would be direct democracy (i.e. everyone votes on every change) or ranked choice, but that has its own problems. However, you didn’t say it has to be serious. So I suggest a system that locks a chimpanzee on LSD into a room with signs (options) and blinking lights. Chimp starts rolling and points to the blinky light he likes (or hates) either way, your government is operating far more efficiently than hairless apes doing something that is apparently too much work, and most are just as ill-informed as acid-chimp. I honestly think acid chimp accidentally gives you a better (albeit random) set of values than capitalism/democracy ever has.
