They're being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.

Getting defensive isn't necessary.

That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!

I'm sure he didn't just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.

Gotta start them while they're young! Cuts back on down time for the meat grinder.

Well then by definition, it's no longer secure.

"Tourists hit cyclist and fled the scene"

Wow, I'm soooooo surprised. Shocked, even.

Can American tourists not be shit for FIVE MINUTES???

  1. I saw picture of a penis in a bathtub someone had titled "Moby dick" on my first day.

Forums were everywhere, and most websites from private entities looked like someone vomited gifs and word art everywhere. Backgrounds were the most insane of colors and oh my god I just now realized one of the sites I used to visit in the early 2000s was popular with trans people, the trans flag was all over the place and literally was the background

Also MySpace.

I have a permanent solution to banking crises:

Ban capitalism globally.

It's foolproof. It will stop any more banks from having any sort of crisis.

That's literally what it feels like: being stuck in an objective (the planet) and you have a teammate that's SUPER gung ho about the fact he's got a bomb vest (nukes) on that will go off if he dies, and you're just praying he doesn't catch a stray round (attack) while shooting at people from the doorway (doing proxy war things or just straight up committing/supporting genocide/ethnic cleansing/war of extermination/etc) or lose connection (leadership going insane).

If any of those things happen, you know you're all toast. And it's all mostly outside of your control.

I hate to use video games as a metaphor for literal nuclear war and sorry for spelling it out like I'm talking to a child but I felt it was needed for clarity.

We're all on the planet together, and no one will ever be able to force everyone into submission, the more we fight the shorter time we have as a species.

nobody should have nuclear weapons.

Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if the scientists working on the Manhattan project had all agreed it's too much and intentionally sabotage every test.

Yeah, but this way you get to make sure your intended target actually gets hit instead of assuming the following nuclear wastwland would destroy your target like everything else.

It's like the Martyrdom perk in fps games. You die and drop a grenade or c4 pack or something and explode, hopefully taking out the person who killed you.

It's just a dead-man switch to get the AD part of MAD.

Effective? Maybe.

Incredibly stupid? Yes.

Is that stopping the US and Russia from doing it? Lolno we invented this dumb shit.

The world is run by insane people who would rather see the planet scorched into a lifeless rock than admit their way of doing things might be wrong.

My first introduction to them was Yuve Yuve Yu, also a banger.

I got a little hyper fixated on throat singing one week and they popped into my feed. Bike rides and road trips have never been the same.
