It's funny how easy it is for other people to call for us to revolt as if it's just that easy. Oh yeah, just all of you get together and overthrow the biggest, most well armed government in the world. Sure... yup. Easy peasy. We do that every other weekend in my country!

The people of the US aren't going to rise up and overthrow a government that can curb stomp literally any other formally trained militaries in the world. It just won't happen. All it will mean is fewer dissidents and an even stronger fascist response in the event of future uprising. We just don't have any hope of attaining the sort of power.

If there's a revolution, the only way is to start from the top down. Formal legal complaint and lawsuits, impeachments, etc. That's where we're at right now. If that fails, then we need our officials to start talking dissolution or secession.

The video in question, since nobody's linked you. At 33 seconds you hear what appears to be an audible fart/shart. Given how fast he cleared the room after and some of the facial expressions, it does seem very likely he did.

33 seconds, and yeah, all I heard was a squeak. It was everyone else's reaction that really cements it. Particularly him clearing the room so fast. There's a breakdown in the video's comments with time stamps.

God yes!

My brother and I used to play it every day! He was usually my only defender when I'd inevitably get accused of cheating. "Sorry dude, he doesn't need to cheat. You just suck." So many good times. Loved doing paintball and shotgun duels. Then I broke my headset and couldn't find another one. I drifted toward PC gaming and when they shut down the SOCOM 4 servers, my brother gave up gaming.

Both of us keep hoping they'll finally do a new one that has crossplay so we can team up again.

Clearly it's a Danish conversation with a woman who has a small penis fetish...

Hvad, Alena? (What, Alena?)

​The RADICAL LEFT wants you to eat bugs and kale. NOT ON MY WATCH! We are building a massive reserve of Big Mac Coins. High quality, high VALUE! I met with the Hamburglar—great guy, very misunderstood—and he agrees: the Mac Coin is going to the MOON! Crypto is fine, but you can’t eat a Bitcoin!

Yes, actually, some players had thicker spindles.

So here's the story, at least as far as I understood it... 45s were created during a format war between Columbia records and RCA, a la betamax VS VHS, cd/dvd vs laser disc, or Blu-ray vs HD DVD. RCA's 45s were designed to compete against Columbia's 33s as both of them fought to create a sturdier successor to the old shellac 78 designs and bring a more reliable standard to the industry.

The larger hole was claimed to be a design feature that gave the records more stability, but really, RCA just wanted to make them incompatible with other players...

In the end, 33 LPs won. Turns out, people and musicians wanted whole albums, not just singles. Whoda thunk? However, 45s ended up being perfect for jukebox players. Plus, we got those nifty convertors, also called a spider, that ultimately made it so it didn't matter as long as your player had a speed setting.

Fun fact, my first record player ever was actually a Fisher Price, and if you look, it's got a built-in 45 adaptor that just popped up when you pressed it. It sounded about as good as you would expect, but I loved it.

I'm gonna go feel old now...

I'll believe it when my CEO announces that our hiring freeze has been lifted and that we're no longer under threat of closure. As of right now, we haven't heard shit.

All fun and games until someone gets stuck in the autowash...

Read up on Ford and Hitler... People forgot about that one quick enough! BUILT FORD TOUGH!

 

It's been 30 years since I've had potato salad. The last time was grandmother's when she was still alive. She used to make it for every family summer party. My mom told me I'd have made her proud.
