CMLVI

“Ah-ha-ha-haaa”

Depends. Had a client pull a knife on me once, and another dragged me around the facility for an hour while he tried to break down a door to “kill” another client because he had stolen the change from a $5 Taco Bell gift card.

The other incident being was a coworker harboring one of the fugitive kids at her house with her like…6 children while her husband was away in Nebraska for work. Randomly saw her in family court a year later while I was working another job, hopefully while her husband fights her for custody of the kids…

Who is “they”

They had to workshop new prompts

Yeah, I am a subscribed feed main. I want to see what I want, not wade through everything available to me. That may lead to me missing some stuff that may interest me, but so filters out a large portion of stuff I know I do not want to see.

Idk, NFS:U2 also had a good ass sound track lol. But yeah, just by virtue of the setting, Horizon has always had some good sound tracks. H4 got old real quick tho…

It’s gonna be hard to pick, because despite seeming like a pretty shallow genre, there are some pretty wild differences in gameplay. Arcade, Simcade, and Simulator all rely on different populations. People who enjoy Horizon are probably not lining up to play iRacing, and vice-versa.

In my opinion, I’d say one of the early Gran Turismo games, specifically 2 through 4. It was many people’s introduction to racing games and, at the time, was pretty cutting edge. That’s now changed with the Sim games, but there are plenty of Sim offerings now and it isn’t necessarily anything “groundbreaking” being released anymore.

I’m hesitant to agree with Horizon because I personally don’t enjoy it at all, but I understand the appeal of the first one, especially in a time where that concept was fairly new.

NFS:U2 Is also up there, due to the era. That was the epitome of late 90s/early 2000s car culture and had a large impact on the scene at the time, and just was a benchmark for the arcade side of stuff for a long time.

I hadn’t seen that; the last “official” position I saw on it was that it was still in question on how he obtained it, but that it was presumed to be his father’s. But even then, that highlights difficulties with gun ownership. Someone giving me a car doesn’t grandfather me in to use, so if it was gifted from his father, that bypasses some current checks. If it was a gun his father owned that he took, then it likely wasn’t secure as it should be, again failing the traditional gun safety terms and responsible ownership.

Don’t disagree. Just limited my scope because the discussion was on the Trump attempt, and used the “high-end” version of firearms because that should arguably be more heavily regulated because of the amount of damage they could cause.

That’s my issue. The ease with which you can obtain high-end fire arms is too high. I have to do a written test, 30+ supervised hours of driving by another person, then pass a skills test, to get a vehicle license.

Meanwhile, I can walk into a store in my state and walk out with an AR15 today. I can then open carry that AR15 wherever I please. There is a background check for federally licensed dealers, but no other sales. I don’t need to register it. I don’t need training to carry it amongst the public. The biggest barrier to obtaining one is the cost.

Part of the issue with the attempt on Trump was the guy was outside the SS perimeter, so they didn’t have “jurisdiction”, and the guy was following PA laws for the most part up until he pulled the trigger.

I did go to school with one but he was a decent friend and we carried on in classes together. He came from Ghana, and I can’t remember the specifics of his moving (it’s been over 15 years) but he was originally born in Ghana. He was pretty smart, but I think he struggled a bit with “integrating” to the high school, as he’d let himself be the butt of jokes at times. He’d tell stories about growing up in Ghana and exaggerate or make up details that would carry on into ongoing phrases we’d repeat like inside jokes. Particularly, he said he would ride a bull to school, which turned into a sing-song phrase “ridin’ bulls”. He was a good time.

The state isn’t exactly known for its spectacular past (we were a Union state though), and I think there was some fear with other students. He was in the International Baccalaureate program with me, so he was sorta insulated from the classic “dumb” racists, but you still have to traverse the hallways and life exists outside of school. Didn’t keep up after graduation though.

I think that was the intent. OP is also the OP of that thread lmao. Maybe he also just wants us to know?

Unfortunate

Oh no idea. I’d imagine so, it was a fairly big app on Reddit

Boost! Dev was great on Reddit, very active. Has a client for Lemmy now!

I love driving. HSR is still super nice, because the worst part about driving is long distance trips. Day trip to the hills to drive fun windy roads? Hell yeah. Trip across the US where I spend 9 hours a day driving straight in Kansas/Oklahoma/Texas? Awful. That section of argument never makes any sense to me. “I love driving. Nothing better than sitting in the right lane for 7 hours on a perfectly flat, straight road”. Morons lol

I’d argue nah, cause JNCO jeans were huge when I was in middle school, and those are like…comically baggy. Like the bottom cuff would swallow your shoe. Even with standard jeans, boys showing ankle was a mortal sin, (for girls not so much, skinny jeans were in but I don’t remember anything specific against baggy clothes either) and it was a huge issue in the school with people wearing saggy/baggy pants and hoodies that were too big. And this was early 00s, and through high school as well. Some “groups” did the skinny jeans in high school, namely like emo kids, but they’d still have other articles of clothes that were baggy.

I think a lot of it is algorithm based. Interacting with anything is going to start skewing the page, and it builds an echo chamber of “this generation has a bad opinion”, when the reality is not so. Everything is driving engagement, and rage is always a top factor in engaging.
