Heeeey! Thank you. I’ll look into that.

It’s cool that you are you with the info you have in your head. Not everyone is you and no one deserves prison time for protecting their fellow humans.

I cannot be swayed in that view. I grew up surrounded by idiots and endured daily violence and more than one person I knew growing up is in prison for actual murder and more than one friend is currently in a grave because no one stepped up.

If you’d like, private message me and I’ll share article after article with you. I’m sure I can find them in archives at least.

Yeah, I guess. I don’t think we should be parading this guy around as a villain. Even if he held the dude for too long, it’s a scary situation that he was in and who knows what will happen if you let someone go who has been aggressive. He isn’t a police officer, he didn’t have handcuffs and a taser, he was just a dude on a train.

Well, a judge decided to drop the charges. I don’t know all of the details of the case but I’ll hunt for them later today.

I do know that if passengers felt threatened and this dude stepped up and helped, it’s unfortunate that it ended badly, but good for him doing something.

I’m not the type to fight in a crazy situation unless I’m backed into a corner and I would be thankful to any person with the balls to step in.

I don’t know why we have to go around comparing unrelated situations or looking for anything to justify our feelings.

It’s like when George Floyd was killed and a bunch of assholes went digging for why that was ok. “He used drugs, he had a counterfeit 20, blah blah blah. What about so and so who got shot, HE WAS WHITE U NO!!!”

This dude wasn’t a police officer and if he was protecting passengers we should be holding him up as a hero too. We can feel sorry for the dude who died, but we don’t need to vilify anyone except maybe the system that failed to help a man in a mental health crisis. That is, if helping fellow passengers was his motivation and that appears to be the case.

“…on the grounds that he was trying to protect others.”

I think that’s a pretty fucking important line right there.

Yer mum

Hodor? Hodor? Hold-uhdoor?

Man, I might buy some coyote piss and spray my trash cans to make the raccoons fuck off.

I don’t want to hurt them, but if that don’t work I’m going airsoft on those assholes. If that don’t work, paintballs.

I’ve tried everything. I left them some food about 200 yards from my home and they’d eat that and still come and tear my trash cans apart.

Even if I got the cans with locked lids, it’s an apartment so I’d walk out to find the neighbor’s trash everywhere and they just walk past it like they didn’t see it. I left it once to see how long they’d ignore it. For four days my yard looked like a landfill. No one bothered to touch it,

It’s easy to see it’s your trash too. I see my one neighbor carrying 12 packs of sprite in every day. Sprite cans litter the yard? Yep. She doesn’t even care.

Told me once that she would have cleaned it but she didn’t have gloves. I asked her if she had soap and she huffed at me and went inside.

I’d chop my nuts off to live in a house again.

If you have something to hide from The Glorious and Omnipotent Kim Jong Un, our beloved leader, you do not deserve to be a human. All hail our Dear Leader.

M’comrade…

Appears to be JFK (1991).

Depends on the instance. Lemmy.world, yeah ok. Some of the others? Ehhhhhh

I feel you there. It’s funny, you described me last night exactly and I played about 10 minutes of sonic 2 haha. Everything is plugged into an old Apple color monitor. I love that thing and I’ve had it all my life.

I’m gonna check that out. I had never heard of it.

I went nuts with retro restores and collecting in the 2010s. Now it’s just a bunch of shit in my bedroom that annoys my wife. It’s nice to have it all though. Here recently I’ve been using my Genesis 6 button arcade stick on the Steam deck and playing classic mortal kombat. I hardly ever have to buy hardware because I have everything that was made between 1980 and 2005.

It’s like the kid in me who only got two games per console and had to borrow the rest or rent them just exploded. I have a game shelf that my 12 year old self would sit before and cry. I don’t have time for any of it which would make him cry some more.

I’m sawwry, I don’t speak ‘at squeaky squacky, beep boop shit. Why don’t you try talking like an American?! You’re in American space space!

I was fortunately running top of the line hardware when Vista came out. I didn’t understand all the hate at all… until I sat down and did some work on my uncle’s computer with Vista Basic. Holy shit, even with all of the features that required better hardware removed from the OS, it was the slowest and most miserable experience I ever had on a computer. It was brand new and covered in stickers advertising Vista and it still wasn’t capable of running the damn OS.

That was true with nearly every computer I touched that had it on it.

Mine was awesome though. No complaints.

I haven’t used 11, but it sounds like they’ve done it again.

Finally! Some recognition. I’ve been watching him browse the internet for 7 of the last 8 years! Where were you when he seen that one meme four years ago?

Doesn’t matter. Calm down angryseal. He’s getting recognition and that’s what matters.

Mmmm, mold.

I’m right with you on that though. Small basement apartment with a concrete floor that was built in the 1930s. Yep. Mold.

As a person who grew up with a creek full of ducks behind my house, I can say that rapey is just the beginning. I have witnessed multiple drownings by rape followed by hours of necrophilia. I have seen ducks following a vicious gang rape swimming around with bald necks from having all of their feathers ripped out.

They are violent. I have seen males group up and rape and murder fellow males and then attack and rape the corpse for the rest of the day.

When I see a protective mother duck having her babies chased around by kids, I stop them. “You have no idea what that poor girl endured to have that row of ducklings following her around. Leave her alone!”

I shudder at the thought of a more violent animal.

I’ve already messed up at this point haha. I spent my whole life allowing myself to be exploited for a promise that never came. I mean, I guess it still could (not really, but in a sense I guess). I’ve been instructed to go get some cash when so and so dies, and though I’m sure it’s still there, new obstacles have entered the fold.

I don’t know. If I can make enough to live today and buy a few beers I’m good.

I’ve been an idiot all of my life.

I’m going to take your advice though. I promise. Gonna get on that tomorrow. I recently made enough to increase my investing amount by 60%, which would be amazing for someone with actual money haha. I’ll throw that extra 60% into an IRA.

You’re absolutely right. Thank you.
