CnC Generals should be quoted whenever possible.

Also never forget.

A few months ago I tried to play CNC generals and it's like they don't want people to remember or play that again

What's so wrong with a unit called angry mob that screams AK47s For Everyone!!?

Say what you will but you can't argue it's not a perfect cultural time capsule.

E: just to be clear I am not defending the games cringe, I just think in hindsight what they got away with is kind of funny. The Bush years were a wild time.

So that stupid milkshake consent thing that I posted
  • Cost $3.7 million
  • Was more than half the budget for raising consent awareness in schools
  • Approved by two ministers who are hard religious right and voted against SSM
  • Will not be shown to kids at school and has already been pulled

Maybe the right wing people think governments should be small because they're just so bad at it. The only thing is that they don't actually have the chops to make it in the free market so end up in politics. It's the large adult failson role for those without the nepotism contacts.

e: Here is a good write up of it

An individual's moral character can be determined whether or not they return a shopping cart to the stall.

that putting your shopping cart back is a test of morality, you gain nothing from it and it's clearly socially acceptable to just leave it somewhere, but it's better for the workers and fellow customers

better for workers at grocery to be able to roam around outside collecting carts instead of languishing inside, that's why i put the carts in trees

I remember reading someone someone defended not returning them as "I'm creating jobs"

someone sarcastically responded with: Opens a box of cereal and pours it on the ground "I'm creating jobs."

my dad worked retail grocery longer than most goons have been alive like almost half a century.

this is what he said. collecting carts gets one out of the store.

I pushed carts in my teenage years. If the carts weren't put back in the stalls, there was a good chance they'd go down the parking lot hill and hit a car.

my local grocery store doesn't have cart corrals and the lot is so small that it's like a 50' walk max to put the thing back. also the lot is nearly always full so there's no vacant spots to dump it in anyway.

Did you know that European cashiers get to have chairs?

They get chairs. They can sit down while they scan items and bag and stuff.

I pushed carts at a Super Wal-Mart. The parking lot was at least a football field long. We only got to go inside to give greeters one of their 15 minute breaks and otherwise we just stayed out in the elements.
