I once ran a torrent for 3 years before a new version of the program came out, and I hadn’t even hit 0.2 yet.

As everyone should.

Nobody should ever be looking at the 2nd Ammendment and think to themselves “oh god I just can’t wait, please lemme do it now”

It should always be “please don’t make me do this”, while preparing to do this.

A bit rude to call humans monkeys, that’s extremely insulting.

Monkeys aren’t dumb enough to blow themselves up.

If it doesn’t have a tail it’s not a monkey, even though it has a monkey kind of shape.

So tired of seeing the NO KINGS! crowd praising the monarchy.

LMAO what

I don’t know a single person who “praises the monarchy” that isn’t involved in billionaire-owned media

The sad truth is a lot of religious people believe that the end times won’t come unless the earth isn’t livable anymore.

A even LARGER group of religious simply think their sky person will give them a new earth that’s perfect so why bother protecting this one.

They and their supporters are complicit in the murder of the planet at best, and are trashing everything on purpose, trying to claw back any and every support of things that can make it a better place.

Regular Transporters don’t work like that. The flux matrix compensates for any discrepancies in the patterns pre- vs post-buffer.

I suppose if you built a new transporter type from the ground up instead of using these old starfleet or klingon modules, you could bypass the Bopple Corbulator entirely and the pattern buffer would accept the new parameters.

But who has time for that…

Literally, yes.

My supervisor at work has 2 broken teeth and one is cracking, he can’t have food on his right side of his mouth and about once a month has go eat soft foods because the cracked tooth on his left side hurts again.

Another coworker has a knife wound because he managed to slice his arm open with his own folding knife (not suicidal just stupid), and he’s just self-treating even though it looks infected.

I have had bronchitis multiple times in my life when I didn’t have any insurance and even when I was so weak it took all my strength to crawl to the bathroom, going without eating for several days because I can’t make it downstairs to the kitchen, because just the urgent care visit would have sent me into years of debt.

My sister ignored signs of cancer until her daughter asked her to go to the doctor. It could have been operated on if she had gone earlier. Now it’s chemo and fingers crossed.

This shithole country kicks people when they’re down andat least 1/3 of the population is polishing the boot as the rich are kicking us.

No, let’s remove them all.

The good cop is the one that quits after all their hopeful naivety that somehow survived “training” is sucked out on their first day.

“Freeing slaves just isn’t realistic. How about letting them out for fresh air first? How about a 3/5 compromise? Ridiculous”

I read this as “maximum breast gains” and while I can sympathize with wanting more in the breast department, it seems like a long way to go to gain a few cup sizes.

This is the internet.

No matter how many examples you can pull to show us why we should know it’s a joke/satire, there are 10,000 examples of someone being completely serious.

I prefer 31JAN2026 myself. No ambiguity, readable internationally.

Legit every time someone from the US says “indian” and it’s not immediately obvious in context, I ask “do you mean people from India, or Native Americans?”

Sir/Ma’am/Enby, this is a shitpost.

Too Dumb to Be a Cop

That’s unpossible.

I my experience, the oldest child is forced to mature faster by being required to perform childcare duties, especially in families with many children.

Younger siblings basically “get to be a kid” longer than older ones.

This is unfair to both older and younger siblings for a myriad of reasons, but both are a failure of parenting, and society as a whole. The parents should not be forcing the dynamic, and society should not be putting parents in a position where they feel they have to.

As for “feeling immature” as an adult… That is entirely dependent on what you measure maturity by. My wife and I sing nonsense tunes at each other, sometimes just look up and go “QUACK!” for no reason. We have gone to a playground to go swinging. We have gone outside to play in the snow.

I didn’t get my first job without my mother’s help until 20. I didn’t get my license until 26. I didn’t get my first full time job until 33. I absolutely hate going to a store at all, let alone by myself. Although if I’m being honest I would rather go by myself since it’s faster and less chance of my wife grabbing 10 extra things because we passed the aisle and she went something snack-y.

Remember, “Autism Spectrum Disorder” is, as the name implies, a spectrum. As such everyone is on it. Most people are gathered in a general area area (the people who would be considered “normal” by someone who has a more traditional old way of thinking) I personally believe I’m a little further toward the “autism” side, based on a bunch of comparing my personal experience with others who are diagnosed. I don’t believe it’s that big a deal for me, as I am fully capable of functioning on my own as an adult.

A bit of armchair psychology, I’d wager you’re a bit like my wife and due to narcissistic and withholding parents you likely need more reassurance than the average person. This isn’t a failure on your part at all, and it’s not a “developmental disability” it’s just a bit of childhood trauma.

To answer more directly:

In my opinion, yes eldest siblings often mature faster. Feeling immature is probably normal, and maturity is a pretty vague notion in general. ASD in general isn’t as big a deal as many people think. If you’ll forgive me for saying so, your family kind of sucks.

If it had been a “violent riot”, the murderers would have never left the street alive.

Gotta shift those goalposts.

I’m sure if we ever manage to organize a national, indefinite strike, there will still be people like this saying it’s not real action so it’s irrelevant.

Some people won’t be happy until they see bodies of dead Americans in a bloody civil war, but they just don’t have the courage to come out and say it.
