I lived in Suburbia as a child. Happiness is a thin veneer over the contempt the majority of neighbors feel for each other.

I lived in rural towns for much of my young adult life. Monopolized utilities and services, as well as the issue of small-town indoctrination, were reliably present.

I currently live in a metro. The rampant corruption and vehicle-oriented culture are noxious.

I guess I want to live in outer space. It's pretty quiet up there and I'd imagine it doesn't really smell all that bad.

How do I integrate the trigonometric function sin^7(x)cos^4(x)?

Or Fuck Boys, since that's really what they are

They're keeping the layout and "adding more storage", even though you can easily buy a 1TB SD card for your current Switch. So, in all honesty, it's just a Switch with a bigger screen. At least on a Steam Deck you can play an order of magnitude more games on it, with -much- better variety.

D) All of the above

Pigs are just a fraternity, intellect has zilch to do with any function of their agency. Most are in it because they think it makes them look cool. Others join because it makes them feel powerful and superior to others. Then there are genuine evil people, like the above shitbucket, who wear the badge specifically to hold the firearm.

Even the ones that join to protect their "community" are, more often than not, passively protecting a status quo instead.

I would expect no less from an active website with such a domain name.

If I had to deal with the same smooth-brain at work every day while they insist to make my job more difficult for no other reason than they can, I'd lose a fuck or two along the line as well.

I was an Assistant Manager of a well-established, popular restaurant franchise about eight years ago now. Business was fine, probably showing a modest black line on their financial reports.

"This location is no longer in operation."

That's all the advance notice I received when I arrived for my scheduled shift and all the doors were locked. No two-week-notice, no severance package.

Publicly-traded corporations don't care about their employees, their only concern lies within how to spend as little money as possible. Employee benefits included.

These people embody the worst of American voters.

Miss "Middle America" has a hard time coming to grips that correlation does not imply causation. Any public school teacher should know that and it scares me that people like her are in charge of our country's youth and their ability to think.

Our business friend is just a straight-up smooth-brain. Debt rises during times of war as strategic services and trade routes get bungled, as well as the marked increase of weapon-related transactions. We saw it with Vietnam, Afghanistan, and now to a smaller degree in Ukraine and the Israeli-Palestinian war. Biden is dealing with (albeit poorly, imo) the ramifications of two wars he did not start, so it should be obvious businesses are not getting hand-outs like Trump offered (i.e. PPP loans).

Saving the best for last, Colonel Asshat shows remarkable sociopathic qualities. He only cares for himself, and fucking says as much.

The first two people could be educated on their poor political foundations and presumably become effective voters in a proper democratic system. The older gentleman on the other hand is a lost cause, and simply speaks volumes that socioeconomic issues in America will not change for the better until the older generation of politicians are removed from their positions of power.

The execution took about 22 minutes from the time between the opening and closing of curtains to the viewing room. Smith seemed to remain conscious for several minutes. For at least two minutes, he appeared to shake and writhe on the gurney, sometimes pulling against the restraints

The execution could hardly be considered a success. The mask wasn't sealed properly to his face and allowed oxygen to be inhaled as well. Nitrogen-execution requires a complete lack of other trace gasses to effectively asphyxiate without pain. This man suffered the equivalent of drowning for 22 minutes.

Say it louder for the people in the back

Honestly, it's partly on the fans. Not enough people understand to be angry at the investors instead of the developers, who are essentially just scapegoats. Everyone gets fucked in the end except for the CEO and their Board of Directors. The frustration lies in how we remediate this as consumers who don't want to boycott our favorite AAA-title games that get churned out yearly.

And don't even get me started on...
