Not exactly what you described, but Battlefield Earth isn’t too far off in spirit. Close enough that it might scratch that itch for you

Okay, that’s a story you couldn’t make up

Eh, it is kinda watering down the original punk, as a term for what the original punk movements represented. But that’s language. No matter what a word starts out meaning, people can use it for something else. If that new use takes off, there’s nothing that can stop it other than people as a group ceasing that usage. Isn’t that cool? See what I did there?

Tbh though, once a word gets used a new way, and it spreads, it’s just as likely that the original usage fades away. Don’t forget that words like idiot and moron had a more clinical jargon usage originally.

Living languages love shifting. Humans are sort of like birds with words. We collect shiny ones and play with them.

The various _punks and _cores are just a current example of playing with words.

As far as disliking or resisting that kind of appropriation, it can be frustrating. Anyone that was a punk back in the day would likely sneer at some of the _punk iterations, possibly calling anyone using them a fascist (and if you’ve never seen the show The Young Ones, you really should just so you can see an early version of the caricatures of what punks, hippies, and such were. Real life punks and hippies were a much more diverse and interesting thing, but less funny).

My advice as a fellow old dude that knew some of the old school punks? Just shrug and smile. Change is inevitable, might as well just roll with it.

I have my moments lol.

And anyone would blow all three.

Okay, I think I may have to try this eventually.

Legally, it’s location dependant as to whether the shop owner can move someone away like that. Same with whether or not filming would be okay there. Same with whether or not anyone was obligated to retreat before using force.

That being said, the camera guy was the bigger douche, no matter what the legality was. Blocking a doorway, escalating the situation at each step, and then stepping right to pepper spray without moving away from someone else’s property. Had the shop owner followed him away, spray would be legit. Camera guy was the initiating party by doing something douchey. Everything else in the video clip stems from him being an asshole in the first place.

That italic section is there because there’s most likely a back story to this clip, and may or may not be relevant to an appraisal of the actions in the clip itself. We can only go off of what’s there when forming an opinion on the events depicted. Too many what ifs make it dumb to even try.

Hell, be an rpg hero and make it a lending library to your actively playing associates.

The only parts of my collection that I don’t lend out are the absurdly difficult to replace box kits. Even then, I’ll make copies of the material. My kid’s d&d group plays 5e, but the DM has borrowed some of my 3.x books for ideas, and has (with full supervision because I’m a little protective) had access to my spelljammer box (before they redid it).

Besides, I may end up running a game again. Most of my regular players have expressed interest, and it’s only scheduling that keeps it from happening. Shit, I might even do a game with the original rule materials some day, the way I used to do ad&d short games (a few months of a story, or breaking out a module) when we were playing 3.x

Well, the ABC’s legal department wants to disagree with you ;)

The fuck are you smoking?

Normal is a difficult thing to quantify.

That being said, if you’ve got enough loose dead skin to roll up into balls with a sunscreen, you aren’t exfoliating well during your bathing.

You always have some dead skin that’s going to come loose under friction and with the goop softening it up. But if you’ve got a bunch of it, you gotta scrub more.

You’d see the same thing with lotions.

My one and only bit of advice is for a first timer to only use a live usb/disc for a week, doing the most common things.

That assumes they don’t know anyone willing to put the time and effort into helping them migrate. If you have help, I don’t believe you’d have to have as long a trial period. A day or two at most.

Reasoning is that you never notice everything that might need troubleshooting the first few days. Making sure of that is much better done before trying to install and jump in, even with a dual boot set up.

Eh, they don’t suck as much now.

They’re on par with any of the shitty chains tbh. Crust is okay, but not much more than that even with the various options for it. Sauce is acceptable, cheese is good, some of the toppings even can be called good to great for a chain pizza. Still not my top pick of the chains, but not as bad as Caesar’s at all lol. Better than freezer pizzas at least, though digiorno does a good enough stuffed crust if that’s your bag.

There was a time dominoes was worse than Caesar’s. By a big margin, depending on the store.

Chadus dickii species

Hey, man, we’re all just echoes of light bouncing around and making good vibrations as we bounce pgf of each other. Yeah, man, like, totally trippy when you think about it.

Coffee shops go back pretty far tbh.

That being said, it’s only anachronistic if your setting is this world. No reason why the equivalent of an inn wouldn’t be serving a stimulant beverage of some kind.

Porque no los todos?

Ahhh, now that’s disgusting. No way in hell I’d trust that, no matter how perfectly refrigerated it was. Frozen yeah, but you wouldn’t have given the age if it had been frozen.

Go screw

It was a cider, but thank you :)

No bullshit.
