Why do you not respect boundaries?

The boundary being “keep your religious stuff away from me”

Fuck it I’m buying it now.

Half life 2 was my first “I can’t wait to get home and play” game, despite having played so many games from basically 97 onward.

It seems like every time it goes on sale, I am either between contracts or just not able to justify the unnecessary expense.

Now that I have more stable employment it hasn’t gone on sale.

Honestly this by itself might be enough to make me pay full price.

I wonder how long it took, considering they wrote a script to convert the original transcription into PZ usable stuff.

10/10 mod, no pattern buffer for you.

You know those metal benches with metal arches for “arm rests” a lot of cities installed about a decade ago?

A lot of them use standard size bolts and Allen keys. No security, or maybe torx if anything.

Also an adjustable crescent wrench and multi-size Allen wrench tool fit nicely inside a pocket.

A cordless impact driver and associated bits fit in a small backpack as well.

What do those tidbits of info have in common?

Well that’s up to the reader.

TO BE CLEAR, in case anyone doesn’t understand, I am advocating for people to go out and disassemble anti-homeless architecture as a fuck you to the people who put it there. Being homeless is never a choice (not counting extreme outliers). Life is already shitting on them, denying them even a bench to sleep on for the night is just evil.

He was a union man.

The things I inherited from my grandpa are valuable.

0 chance I’d even consider selling them. I will be giving them away or willing them to people when I die/get older though.

This looks more like someone did it on purpose.

They’re all shifted down by one

$250 non refundable application deposit?

LMAO I’d sooner torch the rental property than pay just to APPLY to hopefully live there.

My wife and I were looking at realtors and one told us we would need to provide our credit card info to look at properties, and I just laughed and said “go fuck yourself” and hung up.

The only valid response, IMO.

The fact that people actually pay this shit is infuriating.

regular hours.

Apologies, but as someone who has never worked in an office, “regular hours” is a meaningless phrase.

Hey now, that’s a misrepresentation of both the US and China.

China had way nicer locomotives in 96. It wasn’t 1896.

And in the US, that guy would have either been replaced by a machine, or replaced by someone younger who won’t be expecting the seniority and pay raises that being there for over 20 years usually gets you.

I’ll vote for you in the “most likely to get the joke one panel before the end” category at the award ceremony.

I would bet the entirety of my yearly pay that it was absolutely, 100% a joke and they have a perfectly healthy relationship.

We truly live in a society

BOTTOM TEXT

I had recently read a book that had

Shit, imma need that title…

I can’t for the life of me remember which book that was…

Well, shit.

If you remember, let us know! I’m a huge book nerd that (clearly) loves sci-fi, and that sounds pretty neat.

Matter=energy=matter.

If you can replicate matter with energy, you can turn matter into energy.

First you use a little wall power or even solar power, replicate some chargeable power cells, and then hey look you’ve got some portable replicating that will work without an obvious power source.

And as long as you have enough matter on hand to convert to energy, you have enough power to replicate things until we replicate space tech like deflector dishes and bussard collectors to soak in all that tasty hydrogen that’s just laying around all over the universe.

Jaysus, Keiko, it’s like you don’t even listen to me when we’re having dinner…

back to the pattern buffer for you I guess…

First thing anyone with matter replicators needs to do is IMMEDIATELY replicate 100 replicators and send them to enough countries that there’s no WAY for any corporation or rich fuck to quash it and maintain dominance.

Replicators would immediately destroy any economic system because no economic system would be needed when everything you can think of is a button press away.

Honestly any version of replicators…

Lol nvidia CEO couldn’t do my job for an hour.

I am absolutely confident that I could do his job for an hour.

The empty chair in his office does his job just as easily, too.

You can tell me all about the meetings and deals they have to worry about but ultimately, by the time a company gets that large, it could run itself without a c-suite for quite some time.

Klingon has an empty crate bounce off him and he’s ready to end it all.

I get tortured in a mind prison for decades, and I’m expected to show up for work the next day…

That would be chef’s kiss.

Bonus points if he then tosses them into the sun on live TV.
