How long until some anonymous troll in Minnesota starts calling ICE with false tips, leading to ICE agents ransacking the houses of Trump supporters. I mean, warrantless entry and all. Just like SAWTing, some innocent people will be hurt or killed.

After 39 hours I can definitely say that I really don’t like Baldur’s Gate 3. The bugs. The speed bumps to drag out playtime. All the things I’m expected to understand before any info is presented. Time to boot Cheat Engine and obliterate all the bullshit it’s expecting me to accept.

Your hard work over the past few years has directly contributed to improving the profitability of the company, making it a more attractive business to be sold.
As a reward for your years of dedication & sacrifice, you’re being replaced by someone already working for the buyer. Now go fuck yourself!

Merry Christmas. My now bedridden wife has been deemed unworthy of basic medical care even through we have insurance and the money to pay.
Don’t get sick in America. You’ll be completely and irreversibly fucked up the ass.

Since Nov 19 my wife has been to the emergency room twice for her heart. She can’t work, walk, hold conversations, constantly having chest pains & on the verge of passing out.
EVERY DAY we try to find help for her but no medical facility cares because she isn’t a racist 78 year old chain smoker.

Or cops. As soon as a single cop is caught committing a felony while in uniform, the system will magically be encrypted.
Nothing about this is going to stop or change until it’s used to humiliate a celebrity, millionaire or politician.

They cancelled our local Microsoft data center rezoning meeting last night when over 300 people showed up in protest.
I assume that means the commissioners are pushing the meeting back until their bribe checks clear, then they say "We never heard from the public" and retire on their dirty money.

Yes, Mr Fancy Graphic Designer, this flyer for our local strip mall spray tan shop is truly art. I marvel at your creative abilities. You have re-defined the concept of visual design.
I hate to kill the vibes but the address, phone number and URL are wrong.

Unless you are formally trained by a carpenter, any type of home improvement is like...
"Oh, you got yourself a Thomas Spleen-Hatch there, and EVERYBODY knows a Thomas Spleen-Hatch inch is actually 11/13 inches shorter than a Balcharp Drango inch... which itself is actually 1 and 59/82 inches."

For the past three fucking weeks my wife of 20+ years and mother of our 2 boys has been to the ER twice and has told multiple doctors that her heart hurts and she feels on the verge of passing out all the time. They JUST NOW said “Maybe we should get you to a cardiologist?” (1/2)

In the fall of 1993, every 15 year old kid was walking around saying "I NEED TP FOR MY BUNGHOLE!"
I know, because I was one of those kids.

Some advice from an old dude that's been building computers since the late 90's.
There is ALWAYS going to at least one entire component category of your new build that is currently experiencing a crazy pricing surge. Monitors, mother boards, cpu, gpu, ram, psu, ups, I've seen it all.

I now realized the bad anime & jrpg writing of the past, that I hate the most, was often the result of lead creators. Lead creators that were excellent artists and programmers, but had no formal writing skills.
Friends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥
