A local guy just got caught taking down a decoy camera that the cops set up to get whoever had been cutting down cameras in the area.

So they caught him, but the mayor seemed irritated about the decoy operation, which she wasn't aware of. She wondered who paid for the camera, but it turned out to be a 3D print that one of the cops did at home. Aloarently city council were already debating removing the cameras, and the mayor seems to be on the negative side.

Anyway, whenever the story comes on the news, I vocally declare my support for the guy, to anyone who happens to be in the room.

I would so watch a robot Olympics, just for the tantrums, meltdowns, diva behavior, explosions, fires, etc. I want to see an event where the robots have to fight to the death.

People who watched too many movies.

My mom still writes checks for all her bills, then the shut-off notices and the checks cross in the mail, and she ends up getting her electricity cut off. I'm trying to get her to use the Internet to pay her bills, but she acts like I'm stupid for suggesting any other way than mailing a check.

So they pay an inconsequential fine, and they will be "forced" by the government to implement age verification checks, so everybody on Facebook and Instagram will be identifiable by the MAGAs.

Gee, I feel so defended. /S

Simple solution: Piracy. If they won't sell it to you, then steal it.

I used to have those dreams when I was starting something new - a new school year, or a new job. It's my imposter syndrome, manifesting in a dream.

Compromise: Quit now, and keep your head.

I don't want to be measured as worthless by everyone around me

There's your problem right there. You need to learn to not fucking care one fucking bit what ANYONE else fucking thinks about how you and your family decide to live. They can all go FUCK themselves, and you don't have to worry about it even a little bit.

If your wife is cool with it, then create your own reality, rather than involuntarily play a role in someone else's.

First thing I thought of was "TARGET PRACTICE!"
