We absolutely CAN hold them accountable, but most people aren't ready for that conversation yet.
And any hint of it immediately draws all the people talking about how we should take the moral high road (that's filled with corpses of people doing the same thing) and not resort to violence or even inconvenient protests
"Look sir, I'm not saying I'm refusing a direct order from my superior. I'm saying these guys are 15 feet tall, encased in their own personal mechanized tanks, and are demanding to speak to my supervisor. I'm not gonna tell them no. So YOU can come down here and tell them."
turns to Ultramarines "one second, guys, he's gonna cave any second. If he doesn't, he will when he sees you."
Given just how long it was before trees came about, are we sure early fungi didn't bioengineer these tress specifically for this purpose?
Has anyone bothered asking the humongous fungus?
"But your honor, it could be argued those 47 people merely TRIPPED into my knife over and over. "
I was working with someone who I made the assumption they'd be a Democrat. Call me racist or otherwise bigotted if you want, but I legitimately can't understand why anyone who isn't a straight white male would want to vote republican.
He genuinely thinks Republicans are better for the economy, DT is completely sane and it's BIDEN that's turning senile and showing clear signs of dementia on live TV, and that DT is "good for the country"
I figured through some prodding questions that it's because of the little amount of news he DOES see, it's almost entirely Faux News and their ilk.
So I asked him some rather leading questions about who is making money off of what we are doing while we work. Cause we know the prices of these things we make, and we know how much we get paid. Massive difference.
So he understands that the CEOs and other higher ups are basically robbing the lower parts of their work pyramid, he understands that the people with money are greedy and won't willingly part with it, that they will do anything to keep their money and the power they get with it, AND that they own media outlets outright and back certain politicians.
He was clearly thinking about how all that connects with "billionaires own the media and want to tell you to vote republican because that keeps them in power" but after about 5 minutes of clearly contemplative silence, he goes "I don't know man, it's still a toss up to me."
At that point I just kind of gave up. I can only show someone the door. I can't make them walk through it.
There are parts of video games that always feel too clean. That sign is one of them.
It would take years for a team to custom weather every model in the game and the file size would probably end up being huge.
I still haven't tlfinished this game, I can't even remember what made me stop playing. But after playing Control again, I want to replay AW.
In fairness, that's the same thing I've heard since the mid 2000s. So if it's bullshit, it's long-running bullshit. Like the eating spiders in your sleep thing
The only time I've ever said fuck in front of my mother was when she cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the exit, and ended up getting stuck in the zebra divider until there was a big gap in traffic.
When she slammed on the brake and jerked the wheel, upon realizing she wanted to make the exit I just yelled "What that FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
Surprisingly even though I was still in high school, she never mentioned it. Either she realized she fucked up and let it slide or she didn't hear me over the honking of cars, a semi, and the yelling of my dad and sister.
I have a dji mini, and I would absolutely love to hack it so it has no internet connection capability and is it's own self-contained drone.
Of course, it would be preferable to have a time machine and talk some security and privacy into my younger self...
I downloaded it from youtube years ago to watch on my phone whenever I feel like.
Hopefully I'll be able to watch it in HD soon!
There is a level of professionalism you should have when you work at some places, but personally I think a little crass celebration should definitely be allowed.
That said, whether she knew who he was or not, her actual response wasn't necessary.
WOAH, you can't just go full vulcanface like that, it's racist and not cool, man!
