Super Smash Brothers but with jetpacks (ssb already has jetpacks but the game isn't really tuned for them offensively and with big levels and lots of platforms)

Oh I have a good one. I worked at a paint store for like 15 years. One day, this guy drives up in a Mercedes, wearing a Burberry scarf, and asks me for "Black Marine Paint." We were a housepaint store so I told him we didn't have it, we didn't sell paint for boats, and what was he wanting to paint. He said he wanted to paint his front door, and the doors at Buckingham palace are painted with black marine paint, and did I know what he meant. I said I didn't know about the doors on Buckingham palace, and he indignantly says, "What?! It famous like the doors of the White House!" I told him I wasn't familiar with the doors of the white house either.

But I start showing him some oil based paint and he seems happy with it. He's about to buy when he asks what he should do to strip the paint off of his door, since its latex and this new paint is oil. His eyes narrow and he skeptically asks me, "can you put latex over oil?" I said sure, if you use a primer. He gets real angry and, as two new customers walk in, screams, "You're a fucking idiot!" storms out and gets into his Mercedes which the two women had parked beside.

They give me a look, I shrug and walk over to help them pick out colors. When they are done they go out to there car, but a minute later come back and ask me I I knew the guy, and to come outside.

Someone, I presume the Burberry guy, had kicked in the door to their car, leaving a huge foot shaped dent. I assume he thought it was my car or something.

I've definitely had bad experiences at that job, but that entitled freak stands out to in my memory years later

Some people engage with politics in other ways than the one way that is designed to be completely undemocratic; and more frequently than every 2 or 4 years.

joins ML instance

only lectures people on how to vote without providing any context, resources, or actual critique

So what's your deal anyway? Why don't you try posting on F*cebook? What are you trying to accomplish? Are you just a debate lord, or a masochist or some kind of operator? There has got to Be a better use of your time than debating literal anarchists and communists, any one of which likely dwarfs your political imagination with theory and praxis, on why they should vote for a capitalist party that is consciously and actively contributing to the mass-death of thousands of species including humanity.

Had a paranoid disassociative psychotic break 2 weeks ago, seeing all the doctors, have no chill, and I'm so so so so fucking sober. Its been rough tbh

Meaningless unless she tells fans to organize ourselves into socialist political parties and dual power structures and prepare for conflict with state violence.

"I'm not voting," who cares? Is that what we should care about, whether or not celebrities endorse democrats? I know I'm speaking to the choir but this has never mattered less

Yeah I remember we had Simons Quest for the NES and we were so stuck on it, finally my dad (who was playing it) called the number and you had to like kneel by a lake for 5 seconds after picking up some item based on a cryptic message of a villager. It was a 1-900 number so it probably cost like 10 bucks. There wasn't even any internet unless you were at a university, I still don't know how you were supposed to figure it out on your own.

Yeah it cost like 3 bucks to call and then like $2 per minute and you were on the line waiting for some dude to look it up in a strategy guide and give the answer.

The soundtrack of that game still rules. What a terrible night to have a curse

I can't read anything longer than 100 or so pages on my phone, I just put it down and never pick back up. I like physical books but I mostly read on e-ink kobo. The last few big doorstop type books were/are on e-ink

I'm just not going to be party to intellectual McCarthyism and badmouthing other commies

Even the MLs that I was describing are a tiny minority of comrades who just have to grow and learn. 99% of HBs are actual comrades who live and die by this shit.

Again, flattening everything down to fit your narrative. You're only harming yourself with this
