This man will not have a car within 6 months, he will have a flaming pile of scrap, or a canvas upon which scratches paint a vile picture.

And also will be receiving an invoice for my time.

Yeah I am super confused, I just dumped my trash in one of these about an hour ago, and my family had one provided to us by the city in the early 2000s. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen these in TV shows from the 80s as well.

If an aussie can make cubane in his shed in the backyard, I’m sure a bunch of nerds working together can get this done in 3 days.

It’s simple.

Just change the entire way elections are run from the ground up, and then you’ll have all the options you need!

Oh, how do you go about actually changing elections?

Don’t worry about that, it’ll be sorted… somehow… Just keep voting third part and it’ll all magically work out!

You know, assuming we still have elections in 2028, and assuming potential elections aren’t one of those “vote for the correct candidate or off to the gulags for you” kind of elections and opposition is only allowed to run because the votes don’t matter.

Something something both parties.

/s, since we live in the age where most of that could be said in complete seriousness.

They probably didn’t even read beyond the title.

I was convinced a long time ago that none of them read a single fucking thing that comes across their desk unless it involves money.

They read the titles of things, form an opinion based on the title, and vote whichever way their party leaders tell them to.

The ones that vote differently I figure either know it won’t make a difference, they have some way of benefiting from the opposite outcome, or least likely, they genuinely believe their constituents will receive the greatest benefit from voting another way.

And they make it super obvious with some of the names that they want people to stop reading at the title and don’t bother looking any deeper.

A road construction project within view of my old place could have been finished in 6 months, given the speed they set up 90% of it.

All that was left was a small ramp and a slightly curved road.

Then some locals found out that the plan for the surrounding fields (that had been untended and growing wild for almost a decade before hand) were going to be used for solar power.

Suddenly they became very concerned about proper land surveys and impacts, supposedly solar installations bring in crime, and all kinds of other stall tactics.

Well since they put the project on hold for over 5 years, the price of solar dropped a TON and when the bullshit finally got sorted, the solar field ended up being almost 3x the original intended power output.

And the only crime that has happened as a result is occasionally they have to replace some panels because some good old boys keep taking pot shots at the panels. Normal people might call that “domestic terrorism” and do something about it, but the local sheriff didn’t seem go care until their offices needed renovating and they had to shack up down the street.

Just a rambling way to say all the problems with the road projects around my area are caused by locals.

Yes, I do, as I am not German, nor European and do not have “common knowledge” of the goings-on in the EU, vis-a-vis politicians and their rhetoric.

I’m confused, what’s wrong with this guy being German?

“especially a German one”

Welcome. Welcome to City 17.

You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers. I thought so much of City 17 that I elected to establish my Administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors. I have been proud to call City 17 my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to City 17. It’s safer here.

I have gone 30 something years of memory and the ONLY time I have ever seen genitalia in the bathroom was 1 intentional flasher in high school gym and 1 kid when we were in 1st grade who pulled his pants to his ankles by the sink and walked to the urinal on the opposite wall.

Never in my adult life has it occurred. If you keep your eyes away from genital height, you don’t have anything to worry about…

So if you’re having a problem with seeing people’s junk in the bathroom, maybe stop staring?

instead

This implies it was ever not for sale to governments.

So I’m gonna go looking once I hit “post”, but anyone got any links to specific cams?

To many people nowadays, the actual job itself doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it’s a job and it pays.

In real life:

Staring out of my apartment window

see woman trying to open locked gate to the construction site across the street

do nothing because I don’t give a shit

keep staring out of my apartment window

I have no regrets for the wall of text

Me neither. It was quite informative.

Typical Ohio, giving giant middle fingers all around.

nearly kills her

Based on the picture of the broken square section, I think that might be a bit of a stretch…

But “person avoids injury at final destination screening” doesn’t have that same allure.

Have you been to the upper peninsula? It’s lame.

(it’s not, I would like to live there and I’m even from ohio)

Typical Michigan history erasing.

Michigan started it.

I’m telling mom!

“you are so beautiful…”

incredulous stare

“to me…”

monstrous roar from the other side of the mall

Well I know what I’m watching tonight… No joke my sister and I used to watch that multiple times a week as teens
