I still listen to the noises. The cpu makes a unique whine when I highlight text.

I wish fucking supermarkets would understand this. I don't have to be told in a super loud fucking annoying voice that I need to place the object in the bagging area, or switch to the other machine to use my card. I've already hit the fucking button to use the cc machine, you fucking nonces! I've already placed the goddamn stupid fucking bananas in the stupid fucking bagging area, shut the fuck up! AAAAAH!

It's even worse now because you used to be able to mute the mother fucker, but now they've disabled that option.

If I ask for jalapeños somewhere, I should never get those disgusting pickled rings of bland mush.

If you were to tell someone to go buy a cucumber, and they come back with a pickle, you'd rightfully be irritated. If the salad said it had cucumbers and you end up with pickle slices, you'd be revolted. If you said you wanted cabbage on the sandwich, and they put sauerkraut underneath your aioli, you'd be rightfully pissed.

And if I pick the jalapeño add-in option on a website, write it down on the grocery list, or god forbid see it as part of the description of a food, I shouldn't get the half-rotted, piss-soaked, completely-devoid-of-spicy-except-for-the-acid-of-the-pickling-juice excuse for a pepper slice that some asshole out there decided was a decent way to sell his old peppers.

We don't call pickles (gherkins, whatever) cucumbers. We don't call sauerkraut cabbage.

The best explanation (ever) for a sovereign citizen is found in a legal opinion by a Canadian judge. He spends about 176 pages delineating their beliefs, origins, and manner of interacting with the legal system.

It will be low. Super low. $300k is pocket change when the incidence for gun carriers to use them is extremely low. It's why we can constantly mock the tacti-cool warriors for thinking they need a gun on them at all times. Plus, the insurance company has way more flexibility in proving their client was not at fault in the incident compared to the shenanigans they have to pull now for car wrecks.

Meh. My partner reads a book all the time at night, and it's not such a big deal. Some cars are worse than others, and some people completely overreact.

Angles, baby, they let water dangle from a small hill and curb.

I think an arch user would know to wear the antistatic band on the wrist that's grounded... but maybe that's just me. /pretentious_sniff

Those poor guys are cold! Look at how they're forced into wearing those head-warming knitted hats.

Right! Has no one paid attention to chimpanzees, baboons, or other primates? Recognizing those like yourself and working together is baked in. Even in species that are even farther away from us, in an evolution sense, we see cooperation.

Okay, but, like, wtf is going on in this picture? Red dotty area is supposed to be his kneecap, right? But what the hell is in the center of it? It looks like an oddly drawn snout with a nostril in it. Then there's whatever that bulbous growth is to the right of the knee. Is the darker blue line the outline of his leg, or is it the green 'I've-got-really-wide-calves' line? And then what in the eye-popping-nasty-juju is the black area outlined by the teal? Is that supposed to be his upper thigh with the arm resting on it? Is it another animal clinging to him? Is that kneecap actually the head of an owl (look at the ear shape of the shiny/rubber black looking area), and the black thing going up the body clinging on?

Well that wasn't what I expected to hear. I'm curious why their heating supplies are falling/failing. Isn't oil the one thing they actually have an excess of?

Having been involved in something that was actually bad, I can say with certainty that there are enough rules already (in most places) that apply to these sorts of situations. Harassment and stalking crimes cover the sorts of things that need to be handled by police. If someone teabags you in Halo, or curses at you or says disgusting things in a voice chat, you either block them or shake your head and move on. If they follow you around through multiple lobbies, send/spam pictures or post/spray real pictures of genitalia (in places where it is not supposed to be, such as your inbox/cellphone/vr lobbies, obviously not talking about nsfw sites), those things are already crimes covered by harassment/stalking/sexting crimes.

There may be a few edge cases where someone can skirt the laws, but again, in my experience, the statutes are broad enough to catch almost everything you could imagine and want to be a crime.
