I’m smart enough to understand that setting up domestic manufacturing is much more complicated and expensive than I could guess. I also know that getting a project like this from concept to steady, reliable, marketable production takes years.

I also know that the people who think this is quick and easy will proudly wear their MAGA hats today.

I think you deserve credit for finding a humorous, joyful way to make your point, instead of being obnoxious about it. I don’t even want to imagine what this post (and the accompanying comments) would be like on The Site That Shall Not Be Named.

Wonderful. I love it.

I wonder if he’s open minded enough to accept information he wasn’t expecting, or one of those people for whom no proof will ever be good enough.

My answer depends on whether the country you’re going to has an extradition treaty with the United States.

Change the name of the community to Mildly Hilarious

America won big both morally and militarily in WWII. For the average poorly informed citizen, that meant our government had permanently earned its position as the Good Guy. Lots of people thought (and still think) that any evidence to the contrary is merely a mistake or anomaly.

Then there’s capitalism. Wartime manufacturing brought us out of the Great Depression, and even the average citizen benefited. Unfortunately, capitalism became much more powerful than we realized, and now we’re beginning to see what a monster we’ve created. We know that the top 1% are literally killing our biosphere to protect their investments, but somehow our Good Guy government is allowing it to continue. The average citizen can’t reconcile those facts, so they decided that the facts must be wrong.

Government and capitalism have always been intertwined, but never to the extent we’re seeing under Trump. A Nazi billionaire is shaping government policy. That was supposed to be impossible. Again, the average citizen can’t reconcile those truths, so many of them decided that the libtards must be exaggerating.

I wouldn’t say that we Americans are stupid. I’d use the word “foolish” instead. “Deceived”, too. A few people saw what was coming and tried to warn the rest of us, but we let it happen anyway, because organizations that we thought we could trust lied to us.

Those of us with at least some awareness of what’s going on are traumatized (whether we think so or not). We’re trying to accept that our own government suddenly hates a lot of us, and that the corporations that have tried so hard to make themselves indispensable are, at best, constantly trying to deceive and monetize everything about us.

DO NOT TAP ON GLASS

Some men tend to act like minor illnesses are more serious than they actually are. I know I have. I don’t get sick often, so I worry about it when I actually do.

He was a good guy. I think he’d appreciate the dark humor done without ill intent.

One of my friends couldn’t believe I’d never heard the term “man flu”. Once it was explained to me, I laughed. (I’m a guy, btw.)

“I can’t get laid, so I want to make it as inconvenient as possible for everyone else. Also, my wife left me for a man who doesn’t treat her like a bangmaid, so I want to make ‘adultary’ a major offense.”

The map should include major sources of valuable fresh water, for even more chaotic fun. For example, I’d draw two long, thin countries on each bank of the Nile.

She’s either an idiot or did this intentionally, and I don’t think she’s an idiot. Plus, all the edibles I’ve bought have had dosage recommendations on the packaging (although, to be fair, I’ve only bought edibles in recent years. I don’t know what the labeling was like in 2014).

Further, any half-decent dispensary will be staffed by people eager to help and give newbies some valuable advice. I suspect that Dowd didn’t even try to ask for help, and may even have posed as an experienced user.

You don’t need to know where they’re seeing this or why it’s such a concern. This is No Stupid Questions. It’s not a requirement that they justify their question to your satisfaction. Their question had nothing to do with the temperament of users, either.

Thank you. That video was unexpectedly interesting.

Well, she/it has a point. You don’t fill wine glasses all the way.

The AI image generator thing is new to me, though.

Well deserved. I’ve been watching friends play it on Twitch, and they’re having a blast

I can’t compare, since I’ve never seen or played ITT, but the dialogue in Split Fiction feels natural.

Thanks In Advance
