I'm actually amazed. There are way less around me than I thought there would be.

You know, wild, insane conspiracy theory, but maybe the mental breakdown is more than just aftereffects from the stroke.
What if some republican patsy at a three letter agency has some serious blackmail on him? He's a public figure, his actions easily scrutinized. As a senator his time, statements, and votes are public, and the government itself is doing the blackmail, so he can't turn to anyone. If he resigns they release the blackmail. The only way to not have the blackmail released is to fake these issues. Or maybe the pressure is actually breaking him, who knows.
Small correction: the deputy killed was not one of the deputies present at the killing of the son. https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/04/us/ohio-rodney-hinton-jr-arrest-hnk It was apparently deputy with ten years on the job who shot the son, while the deputy killed had 35 years.
Pfffft. Not far enough. You have to go back to 2015 to even find articles that aren't shitty lists or repeating the 'target' word 15 times for SEO. AI has only sped up the ability to generate shit.
Fawning? As in giving birth? Giving adoration? Acting childish?
Probably called match!! a mutt instead of a goldendoodle.

/s obviously, because of the instance posted from and the biracial explanation.
I sometimes wonder if my preference for stoicism and grey rocking is because of that. God forbid any emotions at the dinner table.
I know someone who is working there tonight. It's apparently an enjoyable region, enough that moving there was considered.
I also know someone who has an undiagnosed mental illness that travels for work. Totally unrelated.
Over? Goddamn.
I'm mildly amused that you think there are any gamers on lemmy that still use microsoft. Isn't it mandatory to use linux to access the fediverse? ;)
For ubisoft, I have no idea. Everything I seem to read around here indicates most are dissatisfied ever since one of the assassin's creed games a decade ago or something.
The dedication of these individuals is noteworthy... What drives this persistence? Is it a deep-seated belief system that overrides rational analysis
It's a lovely little combo of desperation and digging themselves into a hole. Most of the elements of sovereign citizens come from people who are not in good situations, as outlined by the canadian court's very thorough opinion (which has already been linked twice in this thread, so I won't bother it again). Once you're in it, the same situation occurs that you can see with people in cults, mlm companies, or ponzi schemes. Maybe if you keep going, and pushing through the pain right now, you'll get that mythical payoff. The alternative is to face the fact that you've likely ruined your life, rendering impossible whatever you hoped to achieve in the legal system in the first place.
I know, right? A 15 inch beer can!? Don't tell the boys, or they'll start trading out the forties for the... I don't know how tall a typical beer can is, but let's just say fifty-fives.
