I already rarely ate out before this plague hit. Now I do so even less.

As usual, it's the corporations at the top fucking everybody below. For instance, the big eggmongers are bragging about their 700% increased profits while everyday people are like, "Are you fucking serious with the cost of a dozen eggs?!"

Our unchecked capitalism is gonna raw-dog this country until there's no one left who's able to buy anything.

Where do you think? Where the black folks live.

> The department has invested in 36 flock cameras throughout the city. The department did not specify the exact location of the cameras, but say they’re strategically placed in high crime neighborhoods. 8News found two of the cameras in the Fairfield and Mosby Court areas.

Not only that, but it's different fucking group of cops who deal with very separate offenses. Homicides aren't dealt with in the moment like traffic violations; they're solved later by god-damned detectives. People still defend Chris Brown for what he did to Rihanna, so there's really no hope that the stupid among us might develop a half a brain at any point. Best we can do is keep them addicted to Facebook so they're not out endangering others with their stupidity.

If you're talking about the "speed limit enforced by aircraft" signs, they don't do that anymore. But they do still have spy planes and choppers for tracking criminals. Well, hopefully they're using them only for criminals. They did just put up a bunch of license plate readers that will track everyone who goes by them.

Reply to It's Your Pokémon Mondailyyyyy! by mewisme700

My parents got me a berry Gameboy Color for some reason, and with that I played Pokemon Red. I learned about the MissingNo glitch and others and recall not wanting to do it for awhile as it couldn't be undone, but my curiosity got to me eventually. If I were to find the Gameboy somewhere, that game would still be all glitched up -- assuming its memory hasn't been wiped over time. I recently got a bunch of old video games from my parents' attic, so it's possible the thing's in there buried under all the N64 and SNES games...

I tried to find a clip of the scene in Independence Day in response to this -- the last line being the relevant bit -- but failed. Text will have to do.

Rockwood in Chesterfield used to have all these wooden structures for kids. I can still remember how they felt and the sounds the suspension bridge made when you ran across and jumped on it. They were all replaced with more modern stuff at some point for presumably safety reason despite the wood being all worn down and smooth from use. 🤷‍♀️

Eh. He looks like a standard donut-eating cop bully who who delights in impressing his will over people but lets every bad guy get away in a foot chase because he's physically incapable of running. He's one of the dudes you see at the perimeter of a police line, gut protruding over his hidden belt and stressing his uniform buttons, telling people to Stay back!, delighting in his very serious tone, as he wheezes because standing up counts as exercise for him.
