I know how to bag groceries, you fucking condescending asshole. The Walmart and Home Depot self check work every time for me. Kroger has defective ones. Maybe their scales suck. Maybe they need different values for their timers. I am not going to debug it for them unless they pay my software consulting fees which seems highly unlikely because they’ve broken for more than five years.

I too fake an accent when I am carefully planning an assassination. I hope he is already somewhere with no extradition treaty.

I hate the self checkout at my local Kroger because it works like fucking dog shit. Always playing a patronizing voice telling me to put the item in the bagging area even though it already is. Always has an inadequate amount of space in the bagging area.

If the purge happens everyone is going to be looting and murdering. I’ll be the person burning down Kroger.

Imagining an HR executive tasked with writing the usual “Brian will be sorely missed email” for distribution to all employees and punting the task to ChatGPT because they couldn’t do it with a straight face. Probably had to add a statement to the AI’s work like “Do not speak to media outlets about Mr. Thompson’s career, policies, or life.”

If I was the defense attorney, I think this would be the test case for instructing the jury on jury nullification (which will get you sanctioned at a minimum and probably disbarred if you’re the attorney that tries it). I think defendants ought to be entitled to instruct the jury about the possibility. I personally would never disclose that I believe in it during voir dire and also would never vote to convict on some crimes.

I too am Spartacus.

FBI searching for the killer: United Healthcare denied 2.8M insurance claims in the last year and most of those people have families, so it looks like we have around 10M suspects.

As a stereotypical American, I thought Corsica was Northern Ireland and Sardinia was Ireland. Thanks for clearing up my confusion.

Sorry, bullet wounds are specifically excluded from your policy coverage.

Could you be prescribed the bc and just not take it? Lying seems like the least bad option unless they are going to be testing that you are actually taking it somehow.

Reminds me of the safety flags we used to have to attach to our Big Wheels so that drivers could see us.

I planted an oak and a redbud this year. In a couple decades they’ll look okay, I hope. Literally have to wrap them with special paper to keep them from getting sunburned while they are small.

This area naturally only grows trees along creek beds. The natural plants are Blackland Prairie- tall grasses and “weeds.” The HOA would have a cow if I let it go natural.

I think this is my neighborhood. If not, it might as well be.

"I’ve heard of RFK Jr. and he says vaccines are bad. He’s more famous than scientists, so I believe him for exposing their corruption. "

I can’t wait for humanity to go extinct.

I use GVIM everyday.

I frequently use CentOS because that is what the embedded system I work on runs.

I use cygwin regularly professionally and at home. Identifying specific software within it is tough, but I definitely use grep and g++ all of the time.

Because people don’t like jumping out of windows to their death.

New form of jury nullification: “We, the jury, want to sentence this bastard cop to the death penalty even though the spineless prosecutor is not asking for it.”

Who are you going to believe the climate scientists conspiring to make $4 per hour in grants or the big oil companies making billions per day? The economy is objective evidence that God loves the oil companies more.

Get permabanned. My offense: virulent anti-nazism (the offending comment had 64 up votes when it was deleted). Not very compelling once they ban you. I commented that we should take President Eisenhower’s approach to dealing with Nazis on a post that had a picture of Nazis marching in Wisconsin.
