prophetic nature of The Boys

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes" Fascists always doing fascist shit, don't need to be prophetic when it comes from the same tired playbook.

As an ohioian, the current system isn't enabling some nobel pursuit of holding people accountable. It's blatantly "our team draws the lines, in a way that benefits our team, who can draw the lines next time, benefitting our team again"

And even after the R weighted supreme court rules "the lines are biased - throw out the map", they still find a way to use the map anyway. Yeah. Calling it a "repeal of gerrymander protection" is a joke and a half.

Why is everyone in these vids always so chill having a loaded weapon pointing at them. I don't get it. It's just one guy, no one will tell him to fuck off out of the crowd?

The site predates the comics by 15 years, I feel confident it influenced the character name.

What was ever cool about stormfront? I remember them as the ignorant assholes that got booted off public BBS and created it as a KKK safe space.

After typing it out, funny to me how that keeps recurring.

Edit - lol I guess "stormfront" they meant this character from The Boys, not the Klan site oops.

The easiest approach would likely be "scouting" on behalf of an associate, perhaps they couldn't make it and sent you. Take lots of pictures for your associate, and you're not personally involved with the purchase makes it easier to handwave questions.

If you insist on pretending to be rich keep discussion light, talk about potential renovations, take pictures to send to your designer. Ask about the history of the home, dig for unique characteristics. Inquire about the area and what kind of "crowds" to expect. Don't dress too fancy, don't pull up in a 09 civic (park around the block and walk), and if they ask, you made a small fortune trading crypto.

100% depends on who's performing. I've driven 500 miles for a festival, but probably wouldn't for a single artist/one night show.

I just haven't seen any interviews with him yet

Let me help change that, with one of his 'hot takes'

There's a lot of testimony out there on social media saying he may have!

 

This image features popular cartoon and video game characters, sitting around a table with a large pile of cash and what appears to be drug-related items. The characters are depicted in a way that contrasts with their usual family-friendly personas, giving the scene a dark or satirical twist.

I undertook a sizeable upgrade today, bringing a skylake era build into the 2020s with a 13th gen. All core components- memory, motherboard, GPU, everything must go... except the drives. We were nervous, my friend really felt we should reinstall. There was debate, and drama. Considerations and exceptions. No, I couldn't let my OS go. I have spent years tweaking and tuning, molding my ideal computing environment. We pushed forward.

Well I'm pleased to say it was mostly uneventful. The ethernet adapter was renamed causing misconfigured dhcp, but otherwise it booted right up like nothing happened. Sorry, linux is boring now.

Is there a way to filter or block communities from appearing temporarily, without unsubscribing from them? Preferably with a toggle?

It would be useful to hide posts from various sports communities when unable to watch a game live, or movie/game communities around big releases. This was an RIF feature and I really miss it.
