As a RC2 male, heavily agree.

You joke but kids would be carted off to the principals office if they sat down or didn’t have their hands over their hearts, or if they were goofing off during “the pledge”.

I used to live there. Most houses have a flag in the front of the house near the front door. They make you stand with your hand over your heart and chant your fealty to the flag. They make you sing songs about the flag in music class as a kid. Bangers like “Grand Old Flag”.

I love the Netherlands. Lots of greenery, lots of quiet places.

I sat in the room as my wife experienced the most brutal pain she has ever gone through. That woman has such a high pain tolerance that she scares me. And yet I felt sick just hearing her. The fact that they don’t anesthetize for this is criminal and fucking embarrassing as a society.

I used to work at an auto garage and brakes are most common regular maintenance (outside of filters, and oil changes). Many people go through brakes as fast as tires. Sometimes quicker. Depends on how cheap their pads are, their driving style, and weight of their vehicles.

Tire rotations and suspension and other drivetrain repairs are not common for an EV the way oil changes and brakes are. Tires yes but that’s it. You can’t drive any vehicle without tires.

They don’t want you to pick an electric drivetrain. It would mean you no longer are a constant customer for oil changes, brake pads, and any other regular ICE maintenance. They want you on a gas car for life because you will always be a constant revenue stream.

Reign of Kings, a medieval online PvE survival game had a bug where the 360 rotation camera could be used in 3rd person mode to look inside of walls of other players. You could even access their chests if they built them against the wall (which they all did).

This meant that you could loot everyone’s bases without even breaking in. The game went through several major updates with this bug still in place. My brother and I used it extensively.

One day there is a major update and the release notes mention about how they have now finally fixed the “glitch where players items disappear from chests when placed near walls”.

Real G’s move in silence like lasagna.

Get an immutable distro. You’ll never need to touch it again.

They will request that you turn it on and submit it to border authorities.

Worst transparent png ever.

I took 3 grams of shrooms and on the comedown, I started getting my usual “it would be very fun but very shameful to have sex with a guy” thoughts. It made me so upset. Why am I so messed up that I’m super into women but every now and then think sex with a guy could be very nice??? I usually shoved those thoughts back in my head where they were to be forgotten (until the next time they popped up).

I went to have a shower with my wife to try and shake this feeling off. Halfway through the shower it comes back like a fucking train through my chest and I collapse to the floor sobbing. My life is genuinely over and my world is spiralling out of control. She asks me what’s wrong and I tell her everything. I’m the most ashamed I’ve ever been in my life and wish I could cease to exist in that moment.

She responds “oh that means you’re bi! That’s awesome! That means we can have MMF threesomes!”

All of a sudden it clicks. Guys can be bi too. It’s not just for women. This horrific self hatred, shame, and guilt that made me feel like a true outcast and alien my entire life was unnecessary.

I go online and all of a sudden I realize that there are thousands and thousands of guys just like me.

Fucking wild.

She’s the only one who knows and will know because my entire family is very homophobic. My father sat us all down once and said “if I find out ANY of you are gay you won’t be on this earth for much longer”.

This was a real nail biter at the beginning. Atlantic Canada usually votes liberal and the conservatives were making unseen gains.

No he committed an assortment of financial fraud using government grants and funds and fled to Russia. Haven’t talked to him in over 10 years. Much better for it to be honest.

Casual CECOT in the background oof.

My dad hit a pedestrian when I was around 7ish just to prove a point about right of way and jaywalking.

There was room in the intersection but he sped up and started yelling about right of way and how people were idiots. I didn’t see exactly what happened because I was in a carseat but as we passed through the intersection the car gets whacked by something and I hear a hard THUNK.

He didn’t say anything but looked through his rear view and muttered “moron”. Looking back on that ordeal as an adult, he definitely clipped that pedestrian and kept driving too. I thought maybe the pedestrian got mad and slapped the car as we passed but there was no way that would make sense.

It’s all good I just don’t order online and pay for a PO Box to have things delivered there if need be.

This absolutely does not belong here.
