  • That's... on the Trump Bingo Card.

  • Was a kid in the 80's. I hated the smell of smoke and it irritated my eyes. That is a large part of why my grandparents quit. I'm probably why my parents didn't smoke.

    I associate the smell of tobacco with my grandparents. Yet for all the fact i hated it at the time because it overpowered everything? I opened up one of those tobacco smelling candles and... It's stupid i suppose but I was crying for a little bit.

    Also in the 1800's you'd have tobacco smoke, but not the industrial scale of cigarettes.

  • Hence why republicans want to get rid of Wikipedia. For all of its faults they generally do a decent job of going slash and burn on any editors that cannot fully back themselves up or have clear political alegances.

  • 'You're lying to either me, yourself, or both. You're a full on conservative and don't want to admit it.''

  • It isn't that I think I'm better than you. It's... I think I'm better than you AT THIS TASK. You're probably a better businessman than me. I've no head for politics, and my cousins run a far better farm than I could manage.

    ...Though I will admit to being stumped on if I could use all these gears to make a well running clock. There has to be a way to do it, but the speed varies too much when whatever you use for initial motive force runs at its end, and sometimes at its beginning. There has to be a way to smooth out force application so the actual gears that increment whatever you wish to tell time by to have a continual smooth motion. It's doable, it's absolutely doable... but it's beyond me.

    For some strange reason I find joy in that there are knowable things beyond my mind. Maybe it's a matter of being happy that there's something new to learn.

  • My focus is mostly on the community I'm in. If I thought the tribals could do a better job I'd be in favor of them. However, I don't think they are the best horse for the race.

  • I hope it does hurt them.

    Fine they can open offices elsewhere, but that's expense and time and complication. They need to hurt for bending the knee because that's the only way they learn to fucking stop.

  • That was the headliner reason for me.

    The rest was just 'Alright, it isn't enough this guy is a piece of shit, he's pushing a shitty product.'

  • 'we don't like it when OTHER people do it. This is Our Thing.'

  • Based on what you bring to my table? Inferrior materials, shoddy workmanship on the cogs and gears, possibly an attempt at simplifying the mechanism causing it to miscount on a periodic basis.

    I can clean the grime off and possibly replicate the gearwork to replace what's there, but honestly you're better off getting a new one and that's kinda beyond me.

  • Yes, but when all are capable of knowing the innermost workings then there is no need to fear elites are manipulating the whole thing. There are still Rules, still a way of things, but everyone is free to understand rather than depend on a potentially corrupt priest high as balls on opiates demanding your daughters for his harem.

  • Raised up, or razed in fire?

  • It's not much, but it's honest work. Good man.

  • Honestly? I just want a nice quiet posting somewhere that needs roadwork done. Germania's not that bad of a place. Decent people by and large.

    That's why I signed on. To help. That's the whole POINT of the legion. We're professionals meant to enact Ceaser's Will. Some prefer the skirmishes and cutting down rabble, but.... I just want to build, and seeing folk happy to have decent road service from town to town makes all the rest worth it.

    I mean... what did you think i signed up for, the pay? Please... The money has been chipped and clipped so much that coinage isn't worth itself anymore.

    So, if things do go to hell? I'm gonna work with who I can to make sure my little corner of things is a little less unstable. S'all any of us can do.

  • ...real.

    'Four links deep'

    HEY NOW! Sometimes stuff just gets interesting!

    'Into a maze of AI-Generated Nonsense.'

    And sometimes that interesting is porn related!

  • So good, even the hew-mons like it!

  • I get that it's fashionable to hate JJ for the mishandling of star wars and it's fashionable to hate the 09 trek movie, but when the movie goes out of its way to go HEY WE ARE A WHOLE SEPERATE CONTINUITY CAUSALLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE TIMELINE SPOCK AND NERO CAME FROM... you look like a fucking jackass for whining.

    Dude literally did everything he could to go 'this does not invalidate the trek you grew up with. '

  • Compare arab spring where Egypt shut down its internet and Twitter did everything it could to ensure messages got through...

    To bowing down to authoritarian bullshit and locking down dissenting and potentially dissenting accounts.

    You know, from the free speech absolutist.
