With all this open encouragement of beating up or murdering ICE agents, I think dressing up so you're generally perceived as an ICE agent is a dumb idea at this time.

It seems most manufacturers have eschewed the spare tire completely, due to: lack of driver knowledge, experience, the abundance of roadside assistance, and fuel economy. The extra weight of a donut, or even a full-sized spare, is by & large negligible but it probably nets them like .3 mpg on the fuel economy tests & makes them look better. And considering how often you need a spare, I can see why they justified the tradeoff.
You don't want the donut because, as you said, it's only rated for 50-100 miles at 50 mph tops. If you're lucky! I had one donut fail after a measly 3/4 mile. The donut tire is simply not economical or practical for most people, most situations.
Now a proper full-sized spare tire, a fifth wheel, is AMAZING. I've hit up junkyards for "compatible rims" (same bolt pattern & width or whatever), just any old rim that's the size of yours. Then married that to the least worn tire kept from the last tire change. Now suddenly you're James fucking Bond, a tire goes flat & you change it out within minutes, drop the bad one off at the shop for repair/replacement, and you can go on the full-sized spare for thousands of miles. Ugly! Practical! Hell yeah!
As you said, with cell service & calling out for help, perhaps it's even possible to build out a full-sized spare wheel & leave it at home. Ready to use in case of emergency, just phone a friend to bring it out to you. :-)
I guess it depends on your situation, what you're willing to compromise on, and unlike most of these younger drivers now you know what to do. I have used a full-sized spare in the past. Loved it. I should probably hit up a junkyard soon & grab a "compatible rim" so I can do it again...
Oh and anyone that loves using that goopy run-flat crap hasn't had to clean it up & mount another tire...what a mess! So stupid! I will never use anything like that because I respect my equipment & other people, run-flat goop & StopLeak doesn't fix the problem! It only (poorly!) disguises the symptoms of the problem! Stupid! 🙅♂️
I hate to blame the end user, the consumer, but yeah clearly at least some blame is to be put onto them. As outlined in the article.
To trust Microsoft cloud services & make that a single point of failure is exceptionally foolish....and they were moving all this data off of multiple old drives & consolidating onto one big one. Why not copy-paste? Why did they actually cut-paste, move all that data into the cloud?
If it was truly so "priceless"...just make another copy? Keep everything, always, until other copies are made.
I feel bad for the guy, but come on. That was a problem they themselves created. Clouds are for rain. Assuming this person is at least 40 years old (30 years of photos & work) if not significantly older, they are more than old enough to know better, to just blindly trust cloud storage with everything.
I guess you might have a point with rich people & their....ugly, inhuman body modification. But I have a solidly middle, middle-upper class friend that spent $8K+ on hair plugs. Just because his hair was thinning. That was the discounted rate. And it looks good tbh, but now he looks just like any other schmuck with hair & he's out $8K+ for that.
(I told him to get really cool tattoos instead)
Same, same. Just FYI, Brother has maybe pushed some sketchy updates recently. This would be a massive betrayal, as Brother has always been the best & everybody else sucks.
So just make sure your printer doesn't connect to the internet. 👍
I've never thought about it that way before, but I like your thinking, actually.
I also like using the term CSAM, because IYKYK & if any children are listening it ought to go right over their heads.
I'm sure it will probably be applied for anyone throwing a brick, as you say. But there's video of some stupid fuck parked on a motorcycle throwing heavy rocks at police car windshields while they're driving past at relatively high speeds. Now that brick & rock, if it hits just right.....could cause a horrible accident, could just through & physically injure a cop, etc. I remember reading a story about someone tossing frozen spaghetti off a freeway onto cars, kinda random/hilarious if it didn't have horrific consequences attached.
Long-short, some of that rock & brick throwing I'm seeing at moving police cars at high speed could, and should, be construed as attempted murder. That isn't even close to peaceful protesting, and even if they're dumb enough to not think of it as attempted murder, that doesn't excuse them from the consequences of their actions.
The pain is passing, but suicide often sends shockwaves through your family, friends, local community. The family members of a person who commits suicide are 2.58x more likely to commit suicide, themselves.
I'm not saying it's "never justified", but I'd think long & hard about it. Extremely old age, geriatric issues can really suck. But so does causing pain, suffering to others.
Definitely needs fact checking, but yeah I do the same thing when I have some good points to be made on a popular topic that is being discussed in various threads. Not everyone needs a super special unique response when copy-paste is a thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't think I'm a bot or AI....🤖
"OUCH"
Everyone saying, "You can't, you can't..." Idk. Just try, if you want. You don't know until you try.
It's hard to say exactly how it happened, but if I had to guess, it's something that just kind of took root & blossomed during porn watching. While your brain is being flooded with dopamine & rewarding you, which then causes you to seek out more of the same. Maybe it's partially a shock factor thing, sometimes shock & disgust can sexually turn people on.
But I agree with that one guy, this is something that needs to be psychologically explored & understood. Do some research, see a shrink. Maybe they can shed some light on why you feel this way, why that turns you on.
