Hey BRYCE? NSString properties are supposed to declared with copy access semantics instead of retain. Since NSMutableString is subclass of NSString, the property could be mutable under the hood!

Also I know I'm going past flexing here and I haven't talked to you in like ten years but FUCK YOU for writing a steam review that says pacific drive has "unnecessary ideological symbols." I'll put a trans pride sticker on my in-game station wagon and be happy the option is there. Consider yourself unfriended.

congrats on recovering the situation

thank you for this story it is nice. like it's really easy to fall into thinking cis people just don't care and we're on our own

welp guess that's why i haven't heard about it in a while

anyway unless you have assets, you get yourself a form called the 1040-ez 1040 from the irs website and it will have instructions included. you mail it in and that's that

i'm a dirty little class traitor and use turbotax i'm sorry

to me, feels about how it felt in february 2020, yeah. and september of 2001 tbh.

honestly i feel like i'd have been more scared during the cold war given they had "duck and cover" PSAs on tv lol. sure don't feel great though.

we'll still be here at the end of it to pick up the pieces and carry on. solidarity.

well he's always been rich off apartheid emerald mine money so uh worth hating from the start lol

nice, i'll use this to patch my legally made video game cartridge backups

if shibe had been my subreddit i would be perpetually haunted today like an edgy 90s comic book protagonist with a tragic backstory. i admire your ability to not feel anything about it

naw, i've heard it all my life

like… think about it. the web is obscenely valuable, and the icann is headquartered in one of the more socially progressive states in the us (california). if america dissolves california will be in an extremely good diplomatic position because its exports will basically be internet regulation and a large portion of the us entertainment industry

given at this point that it’s a piece of global infrastructure managed by a nonprofit with offices across the world i imagine the web is going to outlast the us tbh

primal rage is one of those games where i often wonder if it was actually as good as it seemed when i was a kid lol

honestly i need to remember this for myself too lol

but like like... when large government structures fail, local structures rise to take their place. you end up with petty tyrants but you also end up with small equitable social structures too.

so uh... move to a blue state if you can and you're not already. and if you can't i wouldn't be surprised if we see a rise of aid groups to get vulnerable people out of the worse locations, and incentives for skilled workers as well.

i'm a little tired today so this is going to be kind of rambly, but i can't imagine the united states lasting more than another 200 years lol. as far as i'm concerned we're living through a collapse. the question is whether it's going to be partial or complete. my guess is in the gap states, or alliances of states, will take over what the federal government fails us in.

like when you think about it, voter turnout for the presidency was less than half. only a quarter of americans actually voted for trump. the administration is growing less popular by the decade. it's pretty clear to a lot of people that it's completely ineffective. the loudest voices are always going to be flag fuckers but then we end up with folk heroes like luigi mangione so it's not like confidence in the system is very high in general.

we'll probably see at least one quasi-militarized social aid group crop up, similar to the black panthers. i don't know if the current government will have the finesse to squash them like it could during raegen's day, but that probably won't be pretty whatever happens. probably will result in police becoming more militarized at least in red states. at the end of the day though that'll just result in further public discontent.

whatever the case, it's a process that'll take decades or centuries. rome wasn't unbuilt in a day, after all.
