Well Oedipus pokes his eyes out with needles, his mom hangs herself, and his father is famously murdered by his son. I don’t know who is supposed to be who in this analogy but it seems promising.

I don’t know, tow trucks still use gas, so they may still suffer some knock on effects.

I think it was so successful because of how solid the song is. As soon as you hear that aggressive drum intro the song is so catchy that it all appears at once in your head.

Smart people make things good, people forget what bad is, bad people take advantage of good people, bad people subjugate good people, good people do something smart, repeat.

You should also know that one dose often isn’t enough, and they may re-overdose when it wears off, so at the very least stay with them until emergency services show up. Also, there is a moderate chance they will be violent when you resuscitate them, so be weary. Do not get on your knees for example, keep at least one foot planted so that you can rapidly extricate yourself if they come up angry.

Obama, of course.

He himself is a walking talking terrible consequence.

Fairly pointless article. The six “trends” are:

Much better battery life

A huge leap in performance

Thin phones

price increases

In-display fingerprint sensors that won’t suck

Water-resistant phones everywhere

I’d rather have low T than low reading comprehension.

Nobody is more precise than the ruling class in their calibrating how much exploitation they can exact from their beasts of burden (us). That’s their job, that’s where their money comes from. They exploit us.

It’s not gumption. It’s not novelty. It’s not intelligence. It’s cruelty.

Ah, interesting. That sounds pretty negligible, feature wise. Might be fun on a racing game or something I suppose.

I recommend going to a pawn shop. They likely have a variety of late model controllers. You can then hold them and see which speaks to you. I bought a ps5 controller from a pawn shop for like $50 over a year ago and I’ve loved it. I use it over Bluetooth with steam and I get rumble and all that.

I use a ps5 controller on pc and get rumble? Even the weirdo trackpad in the middle works like a cursor.

What the fuck. Source please.

Well, from a purely imperical viewpoint, it kind of is. Pros: a criminal is captured and potentially made to suffer in some way, which somehow balances out the cosmic scales of justice or something; this high ranking criminal can be plumbed for information, which has many assets seizing and additional criminal capturing implications. Cons: there is no reduction in criminal activity; there is actually an increase in violence and volatility; the power vacuum will inevitably be filled and essentially all the clandestine infiltration/investigation work up to this point resets to square one. Could be someone better, could be someone worse, but absolutely will be someone.

This is something I am woefully uninformed about. Can you provide additional information/resources?

Sure looks like track marks on the shirt. Also looks suspiciously well lined up. Alive or dead, whoever did it did not deviate from their angle at all.

Ever?

The 10 warmest years in the historical record have all occurred since 2010.

In July, David Grusch, a former intelligence official, testified that the U.S. government was holding nonhuman bodies taken from U.F.O. crash sites, that the military is misusing funds to cover up a “U.A.P. crash retrieval and reverse engineering program,” and that people had been injured in efforts to conceal these operations. He also alleged retaliation from his superiors for previously making similar claims. The Pentagon has denied the allegations.

On Friday, some lawmakers saw tantalizing hints in Mr. Monheim’s presentation that there might have been something to Mr. Grusch’s claims and, while the rules of a classified briefing barred them from actually repeating what they had learned, they suggested the inspector general had found some of the claims credible. Which ones? No one would say.

Well, there’s more people now then ever. The environment is either at or past an irreversible tipping point. Every year being either the coldest, the hottest, the wettest, or the driest in recorded time. We have too much CO2 and not enough potable water. The ice caps are melting, the choral is bleaching, the sea is rising, and bugs are on the ropes. We’ve got fascism problems in basically every country simultaneously. Not to mention there is frank discussion about not whether or not there are aliens, but what about them should be declassified and discussed with the public. Our terrestrial telescopes can’t see shit because of the sheer volume of satellites blanketing the night sky. And we’ve got cascading humanitarian crisis being captured in high definition and beamed to our 24 hour pocket sized global information machines, but all anyone seems to care about is what genitals you pledge allegiance to.

There may be precedents for these times, but they are the type of precedents that immediatly precede a global cataclysms. If anything your average person is not being dramatic enough.
