Probably? I only know of the comic from these posts.

So I looked it up and, no surprise, it seems to be a lot of propaganda. In the last 5 years there has been a handful of cases. This year a couple was kidnapped by unaffiliated criminals on the confirmation that they had several internal accounts. The perpetrators killed them and impersonated them to drain their accounts. An influencer with dual citizenship was kidnapped at gunpoint from her custom lavender cyber truck. Assumibly to ransom her or extort her for for money hased on her incredibly lavish Instagram lifestyle.

Those are spot on. The part where it gets dodgy is the reports of cartel involvement and targeting US citizens indiscriminately. The two cases in the last year that targeted Americans that weren’t flaunting their wealth were actually both associated with immigration. The father of 4 immigrated and married a citizen and was kidnapped to extort that. The young woman was kidnapped by the smuggling group her fiance paid to bring her to the US. Both cases, it was locala targeting locals that had americans in the splash zone so the news spun it as “targeting the whites”

The one cartel situation involved 4 kidnapped tourists. The cartel outright stated that it was their agents who were working outside of their orders. It’s speculated that the 4 were mistaken for rival drug traffickers. Knowing the news here rarely admits that white people are common mules and I didn’t see a lot of info about their personal lives, I’d speculate they were either there to transport drugs or were poking around where they shouldn’t.

All in all, stay away from drugs, don’t look rich, and avoid bad neighborhoods. It’s the same stranger danger we use here. The only reason kidnapping for ransom isn’t equally strong here is because we live in a surveillance state that only cares about money. You attack a rich person and the rich people pay their politicians to make an example of you.

Both I and my brother have tried this. First and foremost, the intended experience is reading it in the disjointed and bizarre way the book is written and that’s very hard to do in pdf. My pdf reader has a “reflow” function that pulls all the text into a reasonable book like format, it helps with the reading, but it doesn’t do anything to help parse the actual content which is itself all ovee the place. If you’re just looking for the story and not necessarily the puzzle of understanding the 5 meta-narrative pile, the implication of unreliable narators, and all the strange that it is, I’d suggest a nice long format YouTube video essay on it. That was personally my favorite because it sort of straightened all the lines.

I have a fan theory that the friend is a self insert and Mimi is actually the artist’s intrusive thoughts made manifest.

wilts dramatically because I looked at the thermostat

There’s a running joke that Mimi is well endowed and her friend isn’t.

Glad to hear it helps! I’m personally using it to move the button for a custom shell! Any chance you’d know how to explain how it works?

If you’re trying to imply it’s because they’re smaller you’re still wrong. Switzerland has 12 deaths per 100,000 people where the US has 15,186 per 100,000.same measure, dramatically different amounts.

Cheers to that!

Because their 196 is Infinitely better then worlds.

At this point I’m too jaded to bother. I don’t want to fund Nazis anywhere, but if the things that support my values are an island, it’s maybe only 6 grains of sand above the ocean of bad. I don’t have the kind money to takes to not get my feet wet and at least Sweden isn’t excited to be Nazis like every other nation.

You know I’ve been using this handle for about 18 years and you’re one of two people that have actually mentioned it.

The other one was salty about a halo 3 match and messaged me to say “postmortal poop”

Fuck, I didn’t think about that. The only reason I didn’t starve to death in highschool was the money i made torrenting moves and selling bootlegs of new or obscure films and games. I’d make Manson look like rookie numbers…

It depends heavily on the region. Mexico has states like the US and also like the US they range from California modern to Alabama backwood.

Controversal because most of the people I’ve brought it up to in the midwest still warn you not to drink the water and see it as the dusty brown cowboy land where drug cartels wheel around shooting at white people.

I feel like this would be a misleading measure. My dad has been self medicating anxiety, adhd, trauma, and potentially autism with pot for about 40 years, in our state an oz is 6 months on first offence. If we only count that on his usual consumption rate, baring any time he’s got extra, tried other things, or the myriad of other dubious things he’s gotten into, he’s lookimg at 1,440 years in jail. If you add anything about quality, growing, having large amounts, that’s going to skyrocket. In comparison, a double homicide nets you 100 points in this hypothetical.

Put my stoner dad next to a serial pedophile with 10 victims below the age of 12 and my dad looks like a fucking monster.

If I had to limit it to physically, I’d say the motherboard. It’s the only thing in the box that everything has to be compatible with. Everything else is the extension.

Personally, I believe in a machine spirit. It’s a nebulous concept and it muddies the water here, but really the object is new when it no longer feels like the old. If I install a new is some day and my fans don’t breathe the same, my lights don’t blink like they did, or the chirp of my drives sounds alien, then I know I’ve lost the ghost and will have to learn a whole personality. Same is true for all my objects.

I have the hdd bay plate off a laptop with a broken screen that I bought off a friend about 15 years ago. Every time I’ve needed to spin up a windows I put the code for that machine in and promise I’m upgrading to the current OS from an early win7 release. Works every time.

At some point I ought to cut it down and decorate it as some modern magical charm.

Bit controversial to say, but Mexico isn’t all that bad. It’s cheap, it has all the amenities of the US until you get well into the boonies, and they’re currently implementing free healthcare. From what real news I can get from outside the fascist echo chamber, Sheinbaum is like a national level Mamdani when it comes to progressive successes. With the US too stupid to do the usual cripple job, Mexico has a genuine chance to join the adult table in the next decade or so.

Do mulvad.
