I would not want to play video games with the people in the image, if they can't hold a controller with their fingers on the triggers/shoulder buttons...

So talented. So hot. So not voting for Trump.

I wanted a block of cheese. Guess I can put it on layaway or see if the bank will give me a loan...

I mean, the temperature can be -1. But nothing measures negative.

Great game, but what a wild recommendation for this specific request...

He's right, but they don't have to be! We can protect our children and fellow citizens with popular, common-sense gun reform and legislation supported by the majority of people across all political spectrums. We don't have to bend over for the NRA (which has been proven to be funded by hostile foreign powers) and extremists. All it takes is courage and action...

Agreed. Or worse: for documentation!

Man, you should have seen forums at hobby sites, etc in the times before Reddit/Digg...

The pasta? I think it's spelled fusilli.

You've seen packing tape in real life, right? It's not "almost impossible to see", it's shiny and obvious. As much as I love skirting draconian measures, that ain't it...

I honestly can't believe you submitted that after typing it out. "The probability of one isn't zero, but the other one... also isn't zero." Lol

Monopolies depend on the government to exist.

I won't bother with the rest, but this is flat-out false. Unregulated capitalism is responsible for unethical practices such as buying out your competitors, price-fixing, waiting-out your competitors (because they can't match your unrealistically low price), insider-trading, exploiting a captive audience, and only competing in "territories" (you know, like drug dealers).

I can't speak globally, but all the worst monopolies engaged in at least one of these. The US is far from perfect, but they squashed several giant monopolies because of practices like this. Corporations without guardrails are unrestrained greed.

WTF is a risa!? (feddit.nl)

Hello. It's hugely annoying to look at "community information" and find just an in-joke that won't make sense to most people, and no explanation of what this community is about. I'm sure that's fine for those already initiated, but I still don't know what "risa" means!

Don't worry, I also know you don't care that outsiders are kept out-of-the-loop and maybe even want to keep them out...? Well, that's fine; it's your community, but just a reminder that the casual browser will probably filter this community after several spammed posts that don't even clarify where their interests lie...

EDIT: Don't worry, I'm gone, and I've turned off reply notifications... I have even watched Star Trek! But don't fret, your caustic and hostile replies have ensured you're safe from the curiosity of myself and others, they won't bother you any more! Enjoy your gatekeeping...
