For the record, that’s an incredibly shitty argument.

“LOL GIT GUDER PC”

There’s a better solution for legacy hardware on windoze, and you don’t know what it is.

Just admit it, or STFU.

As bluntly, and as often as possible to ensure the demarcation is obvious to all.

Hate to turn your putrid argument around on you, but this isn’t as trivial as the annoyance of needing a sarcasm flag to avoid Poe’s Law, even though the impact of vaping on adult members of society who do not use it is merely an annoyance which causes their knees to jerk.

And your facts are wrong: Tobacco smoke kills half a million people per year. The jury is out on whether or not vaping is quantifiably medically dangerous at all. There is absolutely no data on harm from 2nd hand vaping, so you cannot say (in good faith) that it’s causing harm.

Specifics matter in comparisons when the potential outcome is a total ban on a substance that has helped minimize harm for millions, and is mostly harmless in comparison.

In short - gnash your teeth elsewhere, you smug turd. You’re wrong.

Is that clear enough?

Can’t just have a royal rumble. You’re going to need to iterate ALL of the flavors into factions if you want a war.

I vote everyone vs Arch (btw)

This isn’t a logo. It’s a cry for help from a severely distressed mind.

I got curious and did the math if $44B was denominated in $100 bills.

That’s 496.85 cubic kilometers of cash. Or a pile of money that covers half of the continental US, stacked 1/4 of the height of Low Earth Orbit.

I honestly don’t think one could physically burn that much cash since May 2022 in real life.

Edit: more mind bogglery!

The earth is ~40,000 km in circumference, so you could stack the bills almost 28m high around the equator (or circle the globe 256,482 times.)

Child soldiers. Neat.

No other combatants are both easier AND harder to shoot. The only modern parallels exist in Congo, and I cannot fathom it on this scale.

Soviet wars of aggression have always created generational scars, but this will be a tragedy that can never be undone.

They’re getting their fix. He’s in the news daily, and coverage of his indictment is ramping up.

Yeah. The last time I saw such hubris, it had to be shot in the chest as it tried to climb through a window to prevent the certification of the 2020 election.

The government (and the electorate) needs to do many things right to prevent Cheeto or a Cheeto Analogue from sending the US into abject totalitarian misery, and there’s not a great deal of evidence that will happen.

Not really - Since they’re cheap, easy to lose, and categorically unnecessary if the screws weren’t made out of butter. 😆
