Sorry, pardon?
Suffering from asthma? 9/10 Doctors recommend menthol cigarettes! Peppermint fresh puts the pep in your step!
Get yourself well and truly to fuck. Blockchain weed? You skipped dabs and went straight to meth.
Oh yeah, no, I was just…idk…spitballing?
Did mean to acknowledge the clear face shield thing. Just…uhhh…stoned and drunk. 🤷
He sure as shit was!

They were also born within a week of eachother. Hitler was a huge Chaplin fan, hence the mustache if I recall correctly.
Best I can do is bath salts
Obviously a different country… buuuuuut…I wouldn’t be too surprised if the US has something similar.
To be clear, they’re totally going full Fasci, and they’ll mayyyybe dig around for something to charge people with after the fact, if not just send them straight to El Salvador or Guantanamo.
In Canada, Simple Assault is the lowest class of assault. Description below:
Simple Assault
This is the most basic type of assault charge in Canada, and, at this level, can be prosecuted in two ways. If someone is charged with simple assault as a summary conviction, this is the less severe of the two charges, and can actually be processed directly by a judge with no need for a jury or a jail sentence. However, in more severe cases of simple assault, it can be treated as an indictable offense, which will require a more formal court process.
Notice the emphasis on the last sentence.
In a case where there’s a summary conviction for assault, but the accused was wearing a mask/bandana/face covering of some kind. There is then an ADDITIONAL charge of Disguise with intent to commit.
Disguise with intent
(2) Every person who, with intent to commit an indictable offence, has their face masked or coloured or is otherwise disguised is guilty of
(a) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years; or
(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction.
This then automatically upgrades the initial charge of Simple Assault to an indictable offence. And if used to it’s full extent can result in imprisonment, in federal prison (big boy jail), of no longer than 10 years.
For fun I looked to see if there was anything for the US on this. Below is the closest I could find without much effort:
18 U.S.C. § 241 - U.S. Code - Unannotated Title 18. Crimes and Criminal Procedure § 241. Conspiracy against rights

I DID grow up with Nintendo. The first gaming thing that wasn’t a DOS computer with asteroids and commander keen on it was a NES. Then an SNES. Then an N64. A few months after the N64 we got a Sega Genesis, and a PS1.
All that said?
…fuck Nintendo. Switch 1 games play at a higher resolution and better frame rate ON MY PHONE. I refused to buy a switch, and there’s no chance in hell I’ll get a switch 2. The fact that they say if they “detect” cheating or that your S2 is jailbroken they reserve the right, and built in the ability to, brick your device. Fuck them, get fucked, no fucking chance they’re getting a single cent, pence, fucking whatever out of me. Fuck yourselves well and truly to fuck! 👍🖕👍
Rant over 🥰
If we’re putting the SteamDeck against Nintendo, I’d say the natural comparison is Steam exclusives against Nintendo exclusives.
I disagree. It would be more accurate to say:
If we’re putting the Steam Deck against the Switch 2, the natural comparison is between Switch 1/2 compatible games, without jailbreak, versus any game that works on the Steam Deck hardware be it Linux Native, with wine/Proton and any emulator that runs games minimum original frame rate with minimal issues.
Bear in mind that the Steam Deck is a handheld Linux computer, and anything that will run on the level of hardware it has and plays nicely with Linux will run on the Steam Deck.
Even just with only installing Steam on the Deck, as of mid-May there is 18k Deck Verified games.
M$ and Apple both extensively use OSS projects in the creation and maintenance of their own products. And neither really fund many/any of the projects they use. So this would directly benefit them even further.
And also do away with concerns about data security. As far as I know if you’re using the M$ office suite stuff like email gets routes through American based servers. And that gives the US government access.
Trump is essentially playing by the Fascist Dictatorship For Dummies playbook.
Waited 3 years for the first one. Got the game and all dlc for like …$10? $15?
Exactly! Just like me. Just cause I only walk to the fridge, doesn’t mean I don’t walk.
