I'll be honest, I don't think we should allow someone to be passive aggressive just to save them the stress. If they're going to rage over the internet they'll find something to be mad about eventually.

Disengage discourse

I honestly think that the there's no real point in having it around. If you want to end a comment chain just don't reply. If a user is spamming a comment then that already violates Hexbear TOC. The only thing "Disengage" does is allow that user to have the final word. If you try to make any point beside "disengage" then I feel you're abusing it to end a discussion without potential backlash. In this scenario, you're literally still engaging with the other user but you don't want them to engage back.

Disengaging should either require you don't respond to the final comment or it should allow the other user to respond to the points made in the disengage comment.

What if instead of Unicorns they were Unixcorns and they impaled people in public if you use Windows.

I've done twice baked breakfast potatoes before with scrambled eggs.

Not OP but you can be shot or stabbed by someone even if you know what you're doing. The best option if you want to protect yourself is to run away, be aware of your surroundings, and have a gun.

Learning martial arts is most effective in unarmed fights when you're not outnumbered or sucker punched. So very little if at all. It's obviously better to have it than not but 15 minutes at a gun range is probably better than 15 years in martial arts.

In the same way that conservatives are animated by xenophobia and racism, liberals are animated by condescension and pride.

You see this in the way that urban dwellers often look down on country folk as dumb hicks. They're backwards savages who vote for the red team instead of enlightened intellectuals. It also helps to justify their atrocities without outright racism. By reducing Palestinian lives to a number and framing it as a tough decision, they can justify war crimes and still feel good. They view themselves as the smart intellectuals making hard decisions because the dumb rabble can't.

If I didn't pre-cut and freeze it than I wouldn't buy more than a dinner's worth at a time. Luckily the fridge the previous tenant left behind had one or else I'd be screwed lol.

Aldi is name brand quality stuff with a generic price point.

I get most of my condiments there. Their produce is okay but I'll get it on sale. For essentials they're usually a dollar cheaper and high quality. They're also some of the few stores that still do a heavy discount on almost expired food. Walmart only knocks off 25% but I've seen Aldi go as high as 75% before. I got 4lbs of really high quality chicken there before for $3.50. Cheapest Tofu and eggs around. Cheese is more expensive for some reason. Same with name-brand chips although their own chips are really good and decently priced.

The only problem I have is that I could have even more savings if I bought stuff in bulk but they only seem to carry smaller portions. I wouldn't even car if they're the same price per ounce, I just don't want 5 bottles of mustard in my pantry when one big one would do.

I've heard the pagers were used by their medics as well. It definitely wasn't at targeted attack on military members for sure though.

Also, you can't exactly detonate bombs in a public place without involving civilians in some form.

ACAB includes Librarians.

Every single time I go to the library to download art to put on my phone because I don't want to use data those book-cops keep telling me it's "Inappropriate" and I have to leave. I'm not even jacking off in the library, I go in the alleyway like a civilized person but apparently that's not good enough.
