SNAKE?!

This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.

I Still hear people go on about how "it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!"

Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.

Here? "You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn't, so the freak out was for nothing!" yeah it didn't pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.

I'm not European, so I can't say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.

The people's reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn't be lessened just because "lol you guys got so propaganda'd and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I'm so smart" is quite the take on things.

I have sat for nearly 10 minutes while the unbelted person fumed mostly silently

You get one chance to put it on before I pull the car over and put it in park. In this case I turned the car off, pulled out my headphones, and started watching Lord of the Rings on my phone.

The best driver in the world can still get T-boned at an intersection or rear ended at a stop sign. I'm the one driving, you will abide by my safety rules. Take your own vehicle or ride the bus if you don't want a seat belt.

I love seeing the "FRENCH GOVERNMENT COLLAPSES" headlines.

Like.... A governmental collapse and this gestures broadly at France are two VERY different things.

And if I'm being honest, when I first saw the headline I wondered if they floated raising the retirement age again and got rioted into a burned down parliament.

France will be okay, they have protocols for this sort of thing.

...... Right? I don't know nearly as much about the current French government as I do pre-napoleonic France. Am dum American.

You're only confused because I'm dumb! For some reason I was thinking toner and laser were separate types.

I bought a toner printer in 2020 and I'm still on the first replacement cart. I have over 2000 pages printed.

Considering I spent $80, plus $40 on the new two pack of toner, I consider it money well spent.

~~I do wish I had bought a laser printer though... There are things I would like to begin printing that will be several thousand pages after it's all finished. Mostly reference materials.~~ DISREGRD THIS I DUM

Rude is the coworker who thinks their shirts meant to antagonize anyone left of the US version of "center" are hilarious, rude are the coworkers who talk shit about trans people on break, rude are those who spend every conversation saying "mentally ill people should be locked up and oh by the way trans people are mentally ill", rude are the ones who make the LGBTQ employees scared that one day they'll just come to work and find a parking lot full of people waiting to jump them because the government said it's legal.

I consider myself quite polite when these things happen in my workplace and I'm not slashing tires or torching cars, and instead all I do is say "hey that's not okay and here's why..."

Doesn't stop HR from coming and telling me I need to be respectful of my coworkers opinions. (HR guy is a democrat, but like... One of those "if you're being oppressed please resist quietly and peacefully within the confines of the oppressive laws made specifically to target you" kind of liberals)

Remember kids: the standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

edit: wow, Redditors are better at accepting the truth, lol

So go pander to them.

If I own something, I can do whatever I like with it because it's mine.

If I can't do what I like, it's not truly mine.

Yeah I got mildly excited when I read the title, and now I'm just mildly irritated.

Good for pc players though, it's something!

It's "Jesus take the WHEEL" not "Jesus take the YOKE"

BiHnuch, please

Their ashes will pave the road to Gre'thor. The cowardly and the damned will tread upon them for an eternity of suffering.
