SARGE

My shower spider gets a reminder of our deal.

"You know the drill. You stay up there, I stay over here, nobody has to be injured today."

Sometimes the spider decides to come over to my side and gets flushed or squished, but they knew what was expected of them.

Unfortunately, due to different showrunners, there are a couple.

Like how Tony didn't figure out hydra was infiltrating SHIELD when he hacked everything in Avengers 1. Probably should have figured that out.

And I know people like to say there are too many hydra people for them to not be well-known or easier to discover, but personally I don't take issue with that.

If hydra has infiltrated key personnel, they can move whoever they want. I'd say they concentrated their forces at headquarters and on the carriers, since that was part of their big master plan. So of course there will be a lot of bags guys in the main areas and in the carriers, and it's a testament to how few there really were that they failed. And they had sizeable resistance from non-compromised personnel.

Truth is?

Game's been rigged from the start.

I've managed to get two first round interviews, and I'm a "perfect candidate" for one and have been invited to a second interview. They dropped a surprise drug test that wasn't mentioned at any point before, and while they won't find any hard drugs, THC is legal in my state. So if I get past the second interview, I have to just hope they don't care about thc.

At least if they do, I'll have wasted their time as much as mine, and more importantly, their money on the tests.

I mean, depending on who you ask, you'll get some different answers to that.

An idle population has time to ponder why their lives are shit.

Gotta keep them working, tired, and focused on bullshit like gender definitions, or they might start getting uppity.

Lol. I wasn't going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I'm not paying for gearbox games ever again.

And don't bother asking silly questions like "why did those 20 buckets of paint cost $3.5 Million?" or "how did you afford that new yacht on $80,000/yr?"

You could absolutely say, with no surrounding context, "Palestinians deserve to live", and have half a dozen people call you antisemitic, as if you were

1: talking about jews or Israel in the first place,

2- saying NEGATIVE things about those groups, or

C, implying that two groups of people can't exist at the same time.

And a dozen other people nearby will nod their heads in silence as though the person calling you antisemitic was in some way correct in their assessment.

He probably didn’t mean to kill the guy

Are you his lawyer?

When you run someone over, you DO NOT have the defence of "I didn't mean to kill anyone", and if you have to ride over a curb to do it, you will never be able to convince me that wasn't the plan from the start.

Running this man over wasn't an accident. It wasn't an oopsie-doodle where someone got mildly hurt by an inattentive or incompetent driver.

This was "I'm big and I don't like this person for X reason, hahahaha run little man. Wait did that motherfucker just tap my car with his fist? OH HELL NO GET STOMPED ON BITCH"

I'm stereotyping the internal monologue, but the point is the same. "jumped curb, injured cyclist, cyclist hits car, driver decides to run him over in response" there is no way to spin that as "it wasn't intentional"

Idk if you bike on roads often, but I do, and I have heard this argument so many times after almost being hit (or ACTUALLY being hit) and it just pisses me off when I hear it. Nothing against you.

I mean, I guess if you're a drow and see this, you might be offended.

Not because it's drowface, but because it's a human, therefore not drow, and thus is beneath the drow.

They kind of have an extreme isolationist, and borderline racial superiority thing going on.

You assholes decide to be ableist in your pornographic selection, and I'm the sick bastard?
