Account less than a month old and posting uplifting news, while being salty about said news in the comments.

I smell astroturf.

Think of it like when you know you need to have the car keys taken from grandpa because he's an actual danger to himself and others.

But it's easier said than done, especially when grandpa is surrounded by people who either refuse to acknowledge his bad driving, or actively encourage him to go out and drive.

Also grandpa is armed and there's no guarantee that any of the people around him will stop him from shooting you and everyone in the neighborhood for trying.

And don't forget that half your siblings are actively cheering grandpa on and calling you slurs for even suggesting something is wrong, and they are also armed and aching for an excuse to shoot you. Your own gun isn't much use since you aren't close to grandpa, and by yourself you can accomplish little to nothing, and you can't reliably call your saner siblings to help out without drawing grandpa's caregivers attention.

The whole government is one giant dementia patient and needs to be burned to the ground so we can build something better, but there's no guarantee any of your siblings will make it or even be successful.

Unrelated, my mental health is great these days.

There’s at least cause for a citizens arrest at that point

Yes, but....

gives a reasonable person fear of imminent bodily harm or death

Driver could shoot the HSI douche in the head and I'd say self defense isn't murder.

You hop in my car like that, you're gonna have a bad day.

I love the idea of Objects that can do things we can't explain.

The Lost Room is probably what got me started, and Control really scratches that itch. I absolutely love the idea of The Oldest House.

It was a table of amoral/evil shit bags before they let a nazi sit there.. They just don't bother hiding it anymore.

"can we get you anything?"

"ice cream..."

"okay, what flavor?"

"it doesn't matter... It's for my ass"

It bothers me that it doesn't say "build a fucking wall over the river"

What is a bridge if not a slotted wall over water?

Note: slot size may vary

It's insane to me how many people just grab their phone and think "I'm good to go on an all day woodland adventure!" with no water, no food, clothing for an afternoon at the mall, and not even a backup battery for their phone.

I've actually packed extra clothes for someonein my bag specifically because I knew they were going to regret shorts and half a t-shirt. Cue 2 hours later they're complaining about being cold when we're in the valleys...

The angled DOD seal to reflect Walter's slightly down turned head is a nice touch

Legitimately I would quit if I worked there.

It's not worth working at a place so many hate already, add this on top and I'll be surprised if it doesn't get burned down for association with the employee.

It was forged by a being that was super old and didn't have any death on the horizon like mortals have, and had cruelty, malice, and a will to dominate all life poured into it ~~by another nearly-immortal being~~. It sat for two and a half thousand years doing diddly squat, passing out of all knowledge.

My point is, it's patient.

What's 500 years when compared with eternity?
