You can actually get pretty good efficiency with tin foil hat engineering due to the reduced cranial volume.

Huh?

The point I'm driving at is that they are spouting leftist talking points but have cranked up the fervor to 11. It's frothing at the mouth type behavior and it genuinely confuses me as to if that is a real viewpoint or a shill. I'm not making a binary snap judgment, I'm questioning if that's even a real person and what happened to them if they are real.

Yeah. I see a surprising amount of it on Lemmy. It is behavior I'm used to seeing from the far right, Qanon, and other brainwashed vectors. I watched the Russians propagandize the right on Reddit.

These, however, are nominal leftists engaging in stark black and white thinking. I'm not sure if they're state level shills, bots, really believe it and are brainwashed tankies, or true believers living in China or similar. Maybe it's dumb kids being taken in by propaganda.

Dark Seed was old school hard and explained nothing. Gave up multiple times, wasn't playable for me. Sucked because I'm a huge fan of H.R. Giger.

Don't forget the classic: Suck off, Nazi Punks!

Crazy, ain't it? I'm pretty consistently amazed at the poor media literacy I find on Lemmy.

Israel is obviously perpetuating a genocide.

That being said, this source is not reliable due to obvious bias and/or being propaganda. When you see something like that you look for other sources that are fact based and dry.

It's weird, I see the same behaviours and fanaticism on Lemmy that I saw from Qs and f right wing nuts. Just coming from the left now. Fucking facts are getting hard to discern.

Middle spoon is best spoon. Most dyads will never know this joy.

You're in for a fun ride, wikipedia even has an article on just this: Health and Appearance of Michael Jackson.

In short: some kind of body dysmorphia, vitiligo, way too much money, and probably a personality disorder. He had so much plastic surgery done to his nose that the plastic actually broke through the surface of his nose. There is a lot of back and forth as to whether or not he was a child sexual predator or just trying to recapture a stolen childhood as an abused child star.

Nobody better fuck with my girl Dolly. That's how you get the metalheads all riled up.

Yes, but we need to be very careful here. Histronics are all fine and well. However, knowing all the facts as reported by the AP or Reuters is important.

The rank and file of the far right is going to be fed info about how he was arrested for domestic violence and had already been deported before.

ICE wasn't in the courtroom and didn't cause a scene. The judge was tipped off by a clerk that they were in the building.

We're all very aware of the propaganda the right is fed. We need to know the facts so it doesn't happen to us.

ICE made a scene in the courtroom?

Birdshot is perfectly acceptable in a home defense situation given the short ranges. It does have a lower lethality but unobstructed head and chest shots will most likely be fatal and will incapacitate.

An advantage to bird shot is that two layers of drywall may slow it down enough to prevent lethal injuries to bystanders such as family members in other rooms.

A disadvantage is that it will likely be stopped by body armor where buckshot packs enough punch that it can cause severe injury even if it doesn't penetrate.

I don't have ready sources for this, just general informed opinion.

That is the largest wood lathe I have seen. Super fucking dangerous setup, as well. Maybe it's only spinning at single digit RPM and you can't tell.

So I can easily get pretty much all of this through kwix directly? That will work. Throw it on my Raid. My media server is badly overworked but I should be able to use any old sbc as a frontend for the archive.

Anybody know where to find an archive of this disk?

It's all publicly available info, or was. I've got a Raid 5 I can throw it on, might come in handy during power outs and such.

I've got spare hard drives, and an old Pi and other computers around. No need to spend $189 on this when you can pretty easily DIY. The value is the prepackaged archive.

I see projects like kwix and such, but I don't immediately see this archive or anything comparable. Haven't looked into this before.

BTW, if you're actually worried about the end of the world or whatever, this won't save you. Make friends with your neighbors and communities. If you don't have a physical trade, you need to learn one like fixing shit or growing really good weed.

*Edit suck - such

Holiday in Cambodia!

I'm not saying Voice of America is a good thing. I am saying, if you're a corporation loving far-right politician, Voice of America is a great thing and you certainly don't shut it down.

Holy fucking shit. How incredibly ignorant. No, really mind blowingly, shooting your own foot, sticking your dick in a hornet's nest, if the federal government was a person: this would be self-harm.

Voice of America is the main open propaganda arm of the federal government. All those US military bases all over the world broadcast this stuff. Arguably it helps trade and US corps influence foreign populations.

I'm not quite that bad but I definitely prefer green or amber on black terminals. That's how a command line is 'supposed' to look because that's what I learned on.
