You have a better chance of your case not being resolved if someone just straight up shot you in a crowded area before they make a getaway. The bigger the crowd, the chances are higher. Because people will spend more time scattering and getting the fuck away from possibly being shot too.

Hitmen technically do not exist. They do, but it's an awfully small pool. Majority of the time, you're going to get caught up in a sting operation than actually getting something done.

And quite frankly, hitmen would rather take out people of higher authority and something very specific. They aren't just going to out and willingly take out people who're down on their luck. They'll probably tell them that there's a hundred other ways.

Also, Reddit is the worst place for prople who're mentally suffering. Spez must get his rocks off to know that he offers no protection for people who're at their shittiest since they're all just statistics for him that provides growth for his shitty platform.

Consoomers are just going to have to be forced to understand that at the expense of getting these 'goods' (albeit cheaply made or whatever), are done by breaking the backs of workers who're forced to do straining jobs to make it so your precious little packages are sent to you.

I hear Nintendo's alarm sounding the launch of legal nukes.

I'm 35, I still buy toys in toy aisles, I still have cartoons from my past on lists when streaming stuff.

Here's how I look at it - I'm responsible of an adult to do adult things when I need to. There's just some things though that I'm allowed to do in my own space, away from everyone. It's nobody's fucking business. And I do admire those that are open about this thing. I do understand now why some people say that age is a number, in this context.

Besides, I find adult life pretty damn boring anyways. At my age, I'm expected to be knee-deep into sports, I'm expected to have had retirement savings like 401k, I'm expected to have a career I'm slaving myself to and all that shit. All the while wearing plain-ass clothing and getting into boring-ass conversations with NPCs.

Fuck all of that. You do you, I do me.

I wouldn't say stop intelligence agencies, but more like, slow them the fuck down. Because we know that they're going through tons and tons of paperwork to do it all legally as possible. So, it'll take them potentially years to construct a bit of a case to pursue whatever it is that they feel is worth their time to pursue someone over.

If our military is written to win, then yes. Like most movies pitting humanity against races and in situations where they would absolutely lose in but made it through cause plot armor.

The jokes and irony write themselves here. So here's a person who is:

  • 20 Something
  • Is Spanish
  • Is a female

Things that she is oblivious to, about her cult working actively against.

I'm not even mad, I'm just amused at the blatant stupidity of this stunt. If this was a white nationalist male, I'd understand but, here's this thing.

Alcohol.

Lots and lots of people lean heavily on it and think that alcohol is the spice of their life. When, it contributes to so many problems than it's so-called benefits. We tried, in America anyways, to outright ban alcohol. Problem was that the person who wanted it banned, was too extremist.

Like he didn't think it all through and think just going for the jugular of the problem is what will work. When, it didn't and just made people work around it until eventually the ban was dismantled.

So, since then, we've been putting up with drunk drivers, drunk disputes, drunk abusers and other issues. I still wish we could just slam our hands down at the desk and demand we sit to discuss in how to properly deal with this issue than people proclaiming that it's not a problem.

Retail, easy. Like, I enjoy what I do for my job but the people that my store attracts, make it cumbersome. People coming to me all the time with phones in my face of listings to other stores thinking we have them, people impatient, people thinking we have everything and people being deliberately vague but getting pissed when you ask them what they mean.

I would pay for a retro gaming subscription that would give me access to over 1,000 games for $20 a month. Sega Genesis, Atari, Nintendo, Neo-Geo and so much more.

Wouldn't shock me. Police always want things to be done in open and shut cases all of the time. Makes their job easier.

I want those owners charged for being this fucking idiotic.

[-] Nyxicas@kbin.melroy.org 25 points 1 day ago

It wasn't that hard to cancel. People are just dumb.

Now if you want a pain in the ass subscription to get rid of, I'll say Amazon that requires you 4 - 5 clicks to get rid of it as they're pleading with you to stay.

Like why some apartments allow no tenants with pets. Living in an apartment building, some tenants around me absolutely fucking suck with owning pets. Allowing them to bark, wrestle and play loudly, letting them take dumps everywhere and not picking it up. People actually running with their pets with no leashes when leashes are required.

Yeah I side more with apartment offices that have balls to say no pets. Nobody wants the noise.

I have a few.

One is abbreviation hell. Nobody is going to spend the time trying to decipher what you mean when you use over several abbreviations. It is just better if you'd explain than expecting people to understand aside from commonly used abbreviations that are easy to understand.

Another is overstepping your limits for the sake of getting a partner. Compromising your own standards is perhaps one of the worst things you can do when it comes to trying to find dates. Like you're suddenly okay with dating single parents but you don't like children. You're suddenly okay with dating religious people but you're not religious. Things like that. Because it means you're desperate and you're setting yourself up and setting them up for a bad date.

I would watch a channel where someone is dedicated to reviewing like low-end budget products like from Dollar Tree, Dollar General .etc In the same vein as Project Farm.

I ask because I feel I need to save some money in the oncoming months. Currently, I pay over $76 for 100MBps/1000GB cap. And I don't think it's a bad deal, but they're going to be hiking it up to $90+ by next October and I feel it is not worth that. But I also need to save money too.

What is the difference between 55MB and 100MB when it comes to speed? The cap for the 55MBps plan is 350GB and I tried asking if that could be altered but the ISP says they can't. This plan will cost me $30 a month.

All I ever do anymore is just stream YouTube, sometimes Hulu/Netflix/Tubi. Occasionally I'll download a game or two, multiplayer gaming is non-existent.

Edit: There's been a lot of good responses replied to this and I appreciate it.

I'm leaning towards on downgrading with the volume of people that suggest that it isn't that bad, but it boils down to preferences and habitual behaviors when using the internet. With so many games already downloaded and being left to just streaming/Second Life, I think it warrants the change.

I just wish that my ISP would've kicked up the cap to 500GB because that'd sweeten the deal much more but this ISP is not well known and these kind of ISPs operate on different worlds than the big names.

Furthermore, people have suggested going 5G Wireless but the problem with that is that my apartment management is stingy as fuck so it's not an option for me nor does Verizon say that they can offer a plan in my current location. Fiber connections such as Google Fiber, MetroNet .etc aren't an option.

Century Link seems to only offer $70 for...10MB in my location (Fucking awful)

Mediacom says they can't even service my area (then how come I see your vans around where I am with other customers?)
