Are these not still in use?

I’ve not built a tower in a few years granted, but the last one I built had PS2 ports. Heck it even had VGA for the onboard graphics.

Don’t go to the USA.

Even if you’re convinced their jackboots will spare you. It’s not worth the risk, they’ll target you for anything they like.

Maybe you’re not quite white enough, maybe you liked a Facebook post criticising their government, maybe you’ve got an unamerican sounding name. Maybe you just weren’t deferential, weak and obedient enough when they spotted you trying to come through the airport.

They will target you and send you to their concentration camps. If you’re lucky you’ll eventually be sent home with no physical injuries and just PTSD.

Don’t go to the USA. It’s just not worth it. There are far nicer places to visit that aren’t fascist hellholes.

You say that, but infuriatingly I’m always amazed by how much above the fold top national news story reporting gets allocated to traffic deaths.

“4 year old girl dies in crash on the M1”

Okay, that’s terrible, but is it really a good use of the nation’s time to read about how lovely this child was and how tragic the crash was? Are there not maybe more informative and educational and useful news stories you could be pushing to the top of the news, rather than this?

You’d think it was some backwater news broadcaster but no, this is from the likes of the BBC. Wild.

I’m the coming civil war, they believe the MAGA Army will use Cybertrucks, so it’s best to prepare a defence against them.

Good thing we caught all those dangerous terrorists before they could do anything evil!

Imagine if all those 474 extremist insurgents hadn’t attended a public protest, we might never have caught them. Who knows what dastardly deeds they could have wrought from deep within our own society in the shadows.

They could be your colleague, your postman, your neighbour, your cousin, or even your own wife! Trust no-one!

We must remain vigilant against this evil menace and be grateful the police anti terror squad is watching us at all times, just in case one of us should turn 🫡💂‍♀️🇬🇧

Good. I’ve seen those RAM vehicles, they’re all american “tiny penis wagons” as I like to call them. Ridiculously pointlessly gigantic vehicles, all the better for running down children and guzzling petrol.

The tossers who drive those don’t deserve good things.

Exactly, that’s absolutely a knife. A huge one.

It may also be used as a trowel, but looks at it, that looks like something crocodile dundee would throw at someone.

A guy walking around in public with that strapped to his belt in a tactical looking holster is just asking for trouble. He was probably looking forward to the day the cops got him for it. He can’t have been so stupid to have that on and think “this is totally fine, nobody would ever be concerned by this”.

Did you see that “trowel”?

It looks like a big hunting knife. I garden, I have an allotment and grow all sorts for years, I’ve never seen a trowel that looks anything like that before.

Sure, maybe it’s some specialised sharp knife-like trowel from Asia that nobody here has seen before, but that is exactly why it’s reasonable to assume it’s a knife, first and foremost.

I also heard the guy was dressed like he was cosplaying being in the army (in camo), but that may not be the case. It would make one further suspicious of him though, if it is true.

A guy walking around with a big sharp “trowel” in (to joe public) a green tactical looking holster thingy, wearing army camo? Yeah, that doesn’t sound like a bloke going down the allotment to tend to the cabbages.

Obviously it was a misunderstanding in the end, but at the same time, I can 100% understand why the fuzz would make some safe assumptions to disarm someone of their potentially deadly weapon.

The bloke can’t have been stupid either, he was carrying the very weapon like thing visibly in public, and when the bobbies asked him to drop it he acted like he had no clue what they were on about? Come on.

I could understand buying and using a trowel that’s weird like that, if that’s what you’re into, but it’s common sense that it looks like a weapon and should obviously be concealed as to not worry joe public. Especially if you’re planning to go around wearing army clothes or whatever, but even so.

A small bit of good news in an otherwise horrid downward spiralling hellscape of nothingness.

Mr Beast is a YouTube guy right? The guy with the dead psychopath eyes in pictures?

What’s he got to do with anything outside of YouTube, let alone some sort of driving force across all of global society?

“Jailed pre-trial detainees” is an interesting way of saying “Innocent people”.

Let us not forget that they are all innocent, because they have not been convinced of any crime at this point.

It’s just slavery, but then, they never did abolish slavery over there, sadly. Just moved it over to people who don’t have a voice, so that they can’t defend themselves. Evil people do sometimes learn from their mistakes, sadly.

How much prison time have you served in state and federal prisons, if I may ask?

Forgive me for asking, it’s just to judge how much direct experience you have with what you’re claiming to be knowledgeable on.

There are sadly a lot of people in the Internet who would say such things without ever having actually experienced them firsthand, and it’s important we educate ourselves on the difference. Thanks!

Doesn’t socialising drain everyone? After a social event I need at least 1 or 2 hours by myself at home to decompress before I can be functional again, or even go to bed.

…Might help to mention what hemisphere you’re in, or continent you’re on? Or country? Or city?

The reason for your local change in nightlife could be anything from a wide, wide range of reasons, almost all of which depend heavily on where you are.

Let’s not be like the uncouth Defaultist Americans that assume everybody in the world lives where they do. Let’s be better, and let’s provide a location when it’s key info.

So, we’re doing what every generation before us has done, cool. At least we’re consistent!

I don’t get it?

As an aside, there’s always something to hold on to on the bus, even if the driver accidentally fills it to over capacity slightly. Even if the primary handholds are all used up, each seat has a large handhold to facilitate moving around safely, standing and sitting down, but I’m a pinch they can be used by a standing passenger to.

If the bus were so full that all of those were in use, it would be dangerously and obviously wildly over capacity. I’ve never seen this happen, not once in my life.

That quote from the bible sounds a lot like they were saying “the things you see are made of things you can’t see”.

Which is totally accurate, atoms baby!

I assume this is a bot that reposts stuff and doesn’t understand the concept of days.

Ah, this isn’t talking about the big war on adult content in the UK right now that’s across all the headlines. Just for those who wanted to see more on that. This is foreign stuff.

People really do not like seeing opposing viewpoints, eh? There’s disagreeing, and then there’s downvoting to oblivion without even engaging in a discussion, haha.

Even if they’re probably right, in such murky uncertain waters where we’re not experts, one should have at least a little open mind, or live and let live.
