The Speed Camera Ahead is everywhere where live. Why is it strange?

Please don’t give me reasons to try cocaine because I can definitely get that easier than Concerta

Some of us live in functioning democracies where “switch to USB-D” won’t come with an “it’s illegal to give your son a name that wasn’t previous a job title” attachment.

All the Gamestops in my country shut down, because memes can’t pay commercial rates or corporation tax

This depends on your client. A lot of them hide responses in the same way Reddit did.

Us former edgy atheists didn’t go back to church (mostly)

Those are Great

Can I ask what the point of this screed was? I’m aware blanks are dangerous. That’s irrelevant. There was a real bullet in the chamber. At some point, even if it was a blank, it would have been pointed at someone and the trigger pulled.

The point appears to be “check the damn weapon”, which of course you could have said without ‘educating’ me, and wouldn’t have been undercut with going on endlessly about wadding.

That point is a terrible one because the armourer is the expert, and is the one who should be signing the gun off as safe every time it is opened, not an actor who neither is required to have qualifications nor skills in clearing a gun as safe. If an actor interferes with the weapon, the armourer has to check it again.

Wouldn’t the live round have shot someone no matter what? The point of a blank round is so you can aim a gun at someone and not kill them.

He was a producer but that’s a meaningless title handed out to anyone who will front a little money or indeed sometimes just give some advice.

I just hate the pathetic effort they put into the quotes. Sean Bean was a weird choice anyway (“what do people universally and forever like? Game Of Thrones I suppose!”) but then they had him read quotes from literal blogs and often quotes that shat all over the technology you’d just researched. Oh! I completed a wonder! I definitely want to hear a quote about how it’s obsolete now and its abandonment caused immense poverty in the Ruhr valley.

That and the movement towards nations instead of, yknow, Civilizations. Sorry Australia, you are not a Civilisation. Nor is Canada. Nor Scotland. How do we have Scotland - an independent country for less than 300 years - and not the fucking Celts.

So… is Bay over Bae canon now?

Yes you understand anarchists now.

Of course anarchists will then reinvent the state to explain how they’d prevent this happening. But like, it’s not called the state, so it’s better.

Yeah this isn’t the first thing I should have read today

What on earth are you talking about? What start button is in the middle?

Learning styles are educational astrology. They have no basis in science or paedagogy.

I can smell it. I can smell now the difference between Nintendo booklets and Sega booklets and PC booklets (Christ, trying to type in the Age of Empires 2 cd key).

I have 1000 games on Steam, and I know a lot of them come with some sort of PDF, and I’m not saying things aren’t better, but I can miss that one aspect of the first half hour of experiencing a new game being reading, touching, smelling its lore and artwork.

Oh I’m sure it’s not wasted work. But any content delivered now, for free, is in direct competition with buying a whole new game, probably for >=$70. I guess they’re very confident in the new game modes or something.
