You’re right they don’t flatten but the brake does have to engage to stop it from behaving similarly to a manual treadmill

Can’t the escalator like flatten out or something awful, when it’s without power?

Lots of young folks with time to dedicate to surfing were at the right age where lolrandom was peak humor. They were ripe to receive the shit posts of prodigious animators congregating on Newgrounds and Ebaums etc

The pledge of abeangiance.

Yup one of the first things I learned in computer repair is that a mostly flattened Philips works way better

Sucralose and other similar artificial sweeteners make human urine extremely toxic to the environment as well.

That’s the one time a grocery store deal actually achieved its purpose of getting me to permanently switch brands. That mayo is perfect down to the texture.

Graphically it was considered top notch IIRC

I host my pihole through Google because it makes me feel rebellious

As in food and other supplies on a relatively soft target like a convoy. Didn’t stop my high school classmates from twisting “they shoot at vehicles with it” to “they shoot out engines with it”

Fake head wounds

Materialistic is absolutely how I feel when an object is sold for multiple years of my income.

Arasaka, all the way to the top!

Very true, in my experience lots of women like the idea of strength from big muscles but don’t really care to see the striated muscle fibers in a cut look. Hell some are turned off by the vasculature of my hands.

EDIT: Guys in comic books are ripped for the dudes reading them. I imagine the same is true for movie stars.

Not only that but by necessity the money/credits in nearly all games (EVE Online a possible exception) is closer to a labor voucher of sorts than a commodity. And labor vouchers are a potential avenue for transitioning a society away from currency.

My friends who play PDX games with me and know my politics sometimes tease me about the game using currency or referencing profitability. And then I remind them that we’re all meticulously planning our economies with virtually nothing left for a privileged class to decide. And our decisions, though made in a context of imperialism, aren’t being made for personal wealth but state power.

At first I thought it was just a method to avoid copyright detection. It may have started as that but the 22yr old I live with says it gives people something else to do while watching the movie so they don’t get bored.
