I’m fine with being ignored by Nazis

My favorite part about this is the

We’re all broke and performance improvements have been basically stagnant?

So this one is a doozy, and I still have trouble believing this happened to me.

My ex was cheating on me. I confirmed it by checking her phones location (yeah I know, shitty thing to do but there were LOADS of red flags and we were each other’s first everything). I decided I was going to confront her at her fuck buddies house. I drove an hour to get there. I was about to turn into the subdivision, and for some reason just had a feeling that I should stop. Once I did, I realized it was stupid to do this. I knew she was cheating, so what sense was there to confront her?

So I turned around and started to head back home when I realized that there was a huge jacked up truck RIGHT on my ass. It was the guy she was cheating on me with. Turns out, it was a college professor for a class we were both in (this was a long time ago).

So I’m driving along, and this guy starts to try to run me off the road, so I start speeding up. He’s trying to get alongside me to ram me. I’m freaking the FUCK out. I’m doing probably 110 mph down a winding back road that I had never been on. No GPS and barely any cell service. I remember calling my mom, and telling her I was going to die. I’ll never forget that. She tells me to hang up and call the cops. I call 911 and give them the rundown, or at least I try to, but I lose signal. It’s at that moment when I see this dude pull a pistol and aim it at my car from his window. He starts firing at me. I miraculously get cell signal again and call the cops. I tell them the road and mile marker that I’m on, and they tell me they’ll have 2 cops posted up ahead and to stop there.

I stop by the cops and they RIP me out of the car and throw me on the ground and handcuff me. Screaming at me asking where the gun is. I tell them that I didn’t have the gun, it was the guy that just flew by them doing 120mph.

It was at that moment that they tell me to stay on the ground and THEY BOTH GET IN THEIR CARS TO CHASE HIM. I’M STILL FUCKING HANDCUFFED, and now, all alone.

They come back and said that they couldn’t catch up to him, but he had told them he had me on camera breaking into his house (how did they speak to him if they didn’t catch up to him ???). I tell them to take me to jail then and have him prove it with the video. They ask me what I was doing in this small town, and I tell them the truth.

They ask to call my soon to be ex so they could speak to her. I gave them her number and they called her and put her on speaker. THIS GIRL TELLS THEM SHES NEVER EVEN MET ME! We’d been together for 4 years!

They tell me to just leave, and that I wasn’t welcome back into the town.

6 months later my dad gets a job in that town and we moved there. Luckily I moved out right after.

I’m pretty close to the plant. I’m new to the area and I don’t really know anyone. I didn’t get any emergency alerts and they didn’t use the sirens. Is this normal? I found out by accident on the Nextdoor app this morning. I didn’t hear any official statements until 9:30PM! It’s been going since 5AM!

Drawbacks: Stockholders don’t like it when the slaves don’t work

I mean…no shit?

So do transfats. Don’t tell me you get that confused too

There’s definitely nothing “original” about that. People have been doing that for a long time

The problem is that company are absolutely going to pass that off to customers (aka, the workers… ultimately.)

News flash, they’re going to be raising prices regardless.

The Truman Show fucked me up as a child

Maybe they don’t have 100% of the rights to the hardware in order to open source it? I don’t think they made this hardware in house. They would have had to outsource it.

Considering everyone recanted an he wasn’t convicted, no I don’t think he did

IIRC it’s something about not actually going to S3 sleep to keep stuff like networking alive

Holy shit dude. That sounds awful.

Point is, they’re going to anyway. So why even take that into consideration?

I’m going to get downvoted to hell but I don’t get the hype Kojima carries.

Where was Gondor?

It’s spelled “raspberry”. But I know what you mean, I really like reen tea.

There’s still time

Yeah, what if the baby was an asshole?

8 years ago dude

No, I don’t think I will.

It’s from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

I’m still amazed that people consider proprietary app Discord the successor to IRC

Sounds like an addiction

You get your hands/wash cloth and body wet before you turn off the water to lather up

I kinda think so, otherwise you’re kinda setting yourself up for oligopolies

I wouldn’t count on it. They’re different sizes

The Truman Show fucked me up bad as a kid

“Fool of a Took”

You didn’t get bitched out. But you should have based on your attitude. You’re asking strangers for help dude. Nobody owes you anything.

Why would you think that’s your business?

I absolutely loved the game

I’m sure the people he killed would disagree

The movie 1917 is my go to for sound.

Apple TV+’s nature show Earthsounds blew me away (though try to ignore how many times they say the word “acoustic” in each episode).
