@AngryFeralKitty @zulways My guy, what kind of world do you live in? Where more than a whole f****** third of something isn't a huge difference

@zulways In 1965 a cheeseburger at McDonalds cost 20 cents and minimum wage was $1.25 an hour In 2026 the average wage for a McDonalds worker is $12 an hour and a cheeseburger costs $3 1.25 / .20 = 6.25 cheeseburgers 12 / 3 = 4 cheeseburgers Not a huge difference.

In the 60s kids could get fast food for literal nickels and quarters. Those are the people now telling you fast food is a luxury.

@Nobleshield Like Daggerfall and Oblivion?

Man, all I want is a good single-player fantasy/medieval RPG where you're like a regular adventurer or something (no named character with a story, however much you can ignore it), character creation of some kind (or similar system), no souls-like or parry/timing combat, no survival junk, no MMORPG stuff. Just a mercenary adventurer exploring and doing quests that you come across, or like finding a dungeon or something and deciding to explore. Crazy this doesn't exist?

@rowdytellezbian @ron_mckenzie_ @spadge46 @MenAreSpeaking You said > Why people telling me to bring sandwich > Deli meat evil The obvious inference is that you think lunch sandwiches need deli meat, the solution would be to have worded the initial tweet differently or to add clarification if it doesn't match your actual beliefs

@ron_mckenzie_ @spadge46 @MenAreSpeaking Because ppl are misunderstanding what I said

Idk why we are telling people to bring sandwiches to work when deli meat is quite literally a class 1a carcinogen

@delahunzo @autisticarab They "sided with the Nazis" because A: they were being invaded by Russia and needed supplies B: the allies wouldn't send supplies because supplying finland would make Russia mad

@autisticarab en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viipuri_m… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perttula_… Fuckin woops we ethnically cleansed and committed politicide in our own country and then sided with the Nazis 🫡 true heroes 🫡

Seeing a lot of people cope about Simo Hayha recently and it reminded me about something I read in an interview. He was asked about close calls, and he said he was dead to rights several times but each round shot at him landed far to the right of him. If you ever shot an M91/30

@MaraBrownWD @Goji_Saurus Ain't there still one in Alaska too?

@Goji_Saurus This probably the final blockbuster store in Bend Oregon. It’s still open today

wait that's Fallen Kingdom when the hell was this photo taken

Jesus doesn’t ask us to be “vaguely nice” to each other. He *demands* that we are to be radically, self sacrificially devoted to each other at the peril of our own soul should we fail to do so.

Maybe you wonder why I, a mere gun blog, makes a big deal about Flock and similar tech? OK here’s a real world situation that can easily happen and has likely happened. Unfortunately to drive on public roads without getting hassled by the cops, your car needs a license plate. That’s tied to you, the owner of the vehicle. Flock isn’t just a traffic camera, it’s an AI/ML enabled (wait for it) flock of cameras that transmit all their video and audio to the mothership. Not a government server somewhere but, to keep it simple, a big giant cloud computer instance owned and run by Flock, the company. Government users, as well as Flock employees here in the US and overseas, can log in and query the system based on license plate number or even vehicle description and get a full history of that vehicle’s movements throughout the Flock network over multiple jurisdictions. Someone in New York can track a car from Armonk all the way to Homestead FL if they feel like it from the comfort of their desk. On a daily level, someone can get a pretty accurate picture of someone’s life just by monitoring their movements via Flock. And I’m using this example to rattle the cage of the “back the blue unconditionally” crowd in 2A. OK - your car has license plate ABC 123 - and Flock knows this. Someone can enter your tag in Flock and see what you are doing on a daily basis. You leave your home where the neighborhood is under the Flock panopticon. Flock sees you drive to Dunkin’ on Main Street, then you drop your kid off at XYZ Daycare. Then you go to work at the local IT consulting firm in ZZZ industrial park. You go pick up a quick deli sandwich for lunch at Food Lion. You go back to work. On the way home you stop off at Bob’s Guns, and stay for 20 minutes while buying some ammo. Then you go home. Everywhere there’s a Flock camera. Now Flock knows the following about you: - You live at 123 Wisteria Lane - Your kid is in daycare (means he’s likely under 5) - You work at ZZZ - You go cheap on lunch - You own at least one gun Your license plate is tied to you so they now have your name and assumed-to-be-private details of your life, like that you are armed. On the reverse of that, the Flock camera outside of Bob’s Guns has been recording the plates of everyone going into the parking lot. No need for a firearms registry when Flock is doing the work. All of this is done without a warrant and the data is available to anyone with a certain level of access to the system, whether it’s a cop, or a Flock technician in the Philippines. FYI Flock uses overseas contractors for support and AI annotation. The 2018 Carpenter decision at SCOTUS ruled that pervasive surveillance where one can divine private details of someone’s life is a 4th Amendment violation in absence of a specific warrant. Flock is illegal, unconstitutional and immoral. And a danger to everyone, not just gun owners.

@EvenMorePaxton Some of it is because there are things where one or more actors in a scene doesn't know what's going to happen, or the absolute best take is when someone adlibs/gets hurt and rolls with it like Leo in Django

Why the fuck did "this scene, clearly from the script, was all improv" become the gold standard blue check trivia slop? Why don't you just pretend Peck destroyed his hand to chase that "Viggo broke his foot there" high instead of making every actress out to be a feckless moron

So, aaaaages ago, I was anti-gun. Changed my mind over time by talking to people. One of them was a guy who left a gay bar with his partner, and got smoked in the back of the head with a brick. Woke up to his partner getting the boots. Pulled his gun and suddenly the aggressors discovered the merits of peaceful dialogue and deescalation. A baton wouldn't have done shit for either of them.

@babadookspinoza Purposefully breaking someone's leg and running can land you a malicious maiming charge, the safest non lethal option is always pepper spray

FYI: collapsible batons are much cheaper than guns, don’t need licensure and are a lot less of an escalation simply to draw but are scary enough to deter and extend your reach by >1’ if not. I got my Smith & Wesson for $50. Break their legs and run! (Check legality in your area.)

@Ravenkliff @tacticoolgf Pepper spray works better for that at a longer ranger than a baton could ever, and it's way lighter

@tacticoolgf I'm mainly concerned about being attacked by stray dogs and rabid coyotes, the baton will be just fine

*taps the sign*

@BENZOTOOIE BoJack Horseman, even if it was ended early, it had the best ending I think the series could have had

When was the last time a popular show had a good final season and a satisfying finale because I genuinely can’t remember.

@bya3k @godspeed_aflame /anyone in need

@godspeed_aflame the Good Samaritan: we learn our neighbours are not those close or related to us, but anyone who shows us kindness

Christ’s gospel was so radical, so contrary to the wisdom of the world, that people are still coping 2000 years later, insisting that he didn’t actually mean what he said.

@chhopsky It's also funny seeing people who are saying tasers and pepper spray should be considered deadly force are just FINE encouraging each other to carry tools already classified as deadly

i teach self-defence to queer and trans people don’t carry a weapon if you aren’t training and practiced. otherwise you are just introducing a weapon into a previously unarmed situation example: you aren’t breaking their legs and running. that’s not even what that’s for

@Vuthakral Was it not Star Wars galaxy the MMO from around 07?

Me still wondering what the Star Wars multiplayer game my uncle was playing was. I've searched them all and I can't identify it. It was multiplayer sorta-arena game with blasters, lightsabers, and vehicles. I know for sure it had a flyable lambda shuttle and rideable rancors.

@wayward_pilot @belet_seri At least he used em dahses

@belet_seri It’s an Irish thing funnily enough. Specifically Joyce, so there’s another thing we can blame him for.

@dadsweb67 Probably because hey think Mt. Fuji would be Fuji Yama? Idk man.

Just saw a comment that they “love that Japanese call it Mr Fuji” and am non-ironically wondering how many foreigners think the san in Fuji-san is the honorific san and not just “Mt”. It never really occurred to me before

@rcarnold1 @MaxWithNanos @Seanfrank And takes 90% longer and produces 300% more spaghetti code

@MaxWithNanos @Seanfrank It produces productivity. An employee using AI the right way is like have 3-5 people

I don’t know why data centers have become this generations nuclear power. Unlike nuclear power, there is a 0% chance that a data center can lead to any sort of disaster scenario. This project in Utah is: - in an uninhabited area - bought and repurposed water already in use - is bringing its own power, so it won’t cost citizens anything It’s like being against building a nuclear power plant in the middle of Nevada, except there is no radioactive waste. No fall out. No risk of anything. It’s a big computer in the middle of nowhere, that is self sufficient in all resources. There are a million real problems in America. Data centers just aren’t one.

@GunslingerTX @fuckyouiquit Only 3 orders of magnitude, also one was a per year and one is per day.

@fuckyouiquit 35kGw, sorry my bad.

Because they are about to build a data center that’s three times the size of Manhattan and will consume double the energy use of the entire state. It’s bad. It’s really bad.

@butleriano That's not what's being referred to here

We asked for it. They make us memorize the letter in school.
