They said "stupid", not "evil"

Although I'd argue that any billionaire not actively dumping the bulk of their wealth and influence to sort out world hunger, homelessness, and inequality is being evil.

Fuck it I'm buying it now.

Half life 2 was my first "I can't wait to get home and play" game, despite having played so many games from basically 97 onward.

1 it was too expensive to move out and honestly without the added income I provided my parents would have lost their house on multiple occasions

2 I got one the fall after I graduated

3 this one took awhile

4 lol no. Never. Children are the worst. I should know, I used to be one.

The older people I know who vote Democrat complain all the time about how expensive everything is these days and nobody can afford anything.

The bullshit "Nobody wants to work" narrative is absolutely pushed by conservatives.

It seems like every time it goes on sale, I am either between contracts or just not able to justify the unnecessary expense.

Now that I have more stable employment it hasn't gone on sale.

Honestly this by itself might be enough to make me pay full price.

I wonder how long it took, considering they wrote a script to convert the original transcription into PZ usable stuff.

10/10 mod, no pattern buffer for you.

Oh my god so much yes.

Make it chilly enough to wear an oversized hoodie and I will never leave.

You know those metal benches with metal arches for "arm rests" a lot of cities installed about a decade ago?

A lot of them use standard size bolts and Allen keys. No security, or maybe torx if anything.

Also an adjustable crescent wrench and multi-size Allen wrench tool fit nicely inside a pocket.

A cordless impact driver and associated bits fit in a small backpack as well.

What do those tidbits of info have in common?

Well that's up to the reader.

TO BE CLEAR, in case anyone doesn't understand, I am advocating for people to go out and disassemble anti-homeless architecture as a fuck you to the people who put it there. Being homeless is never a choice (not counting extreme outliers). Life is already shitting on them, denying them even a bench to sleep on for the night is just evil.

You can never get a word in edgewise when he's around.

without the issue of spine cracking that glued, perfect-bound books are prone to

My first edition copy of The Crystal Shard by RA Salvatore cracked a few years ago and in the last move I lost a page somehow.

Stitched is 100% better AND allows me to easily re-cover an old book.

"he who saves his country commits no crime"

Having worked in quite a few fields in the last 15 years or so, it's the same active shooter training they give everyone. Even in stores that sell guns.

I'll let the reader decide how fucked up it is that there's basically a countrywide accepted "standard response"

So they’ll have to give her a job again. But then she won’t be homeless anymore.

I can confirm, having a job (or 3) does not provide a home.
