  • It makes sense. The only people killed by Helene were gays, immigrants (there were no immigrants in Eden!), and this one guy who was "curious" about being an immigrant. /s

  • I use Android (Samsung) and I've never been able to find one that works. Sometimes I use Chrome, but many apps, like Connect for Lemmy have a builtin web viewer that I think is using the native web browser (so I need something that covers both). I would appreciate any suggestions.

  • Trump and the GOP are directly responsible for killing the part of ACA that required people to have insurance in 2017. That is what allowed all the young healthy people to drop their insurance which caused costs to go up for everyone else. It de-socialized it.

  • Sounds great to me. All the React tooling is annoying.

  • I don't own one. Can someone objectively confirm a few things about Glocks? Is the following true?:

    • They don't really have a "safety". They have several mechanisms that prevent accidental fire when a finger isn't on the trigger, but if you have a round in the chamber and pull the trigger, it's going to fire (which sounds obvious, but I mean it doesn't have a safety switch like a bb gun usually does)
    • You have to pull back the slide to chamber a round and fire. And once it's chambered, the trigger just needs a light squeeze to fire (as opposed to a full motion squeeze - in other words, the trigger is partially pulled back once racked and easier to fire)

    If the above is true, these two things in combination seem like an irrisponsible design to me. You are asking for accidental fires like the one that happens recently where a guy pointed a gun at some kids in his driveway and claims "the gun went off". You should either have a real safety, or it should be harder to squeeze the trigger accidentally.

  • Circuit City blew all their money trying to create a disposable DVD called Divx. It was intended to replace video rental stores.

  • That first pic is the Fantastic Pit in Ellison Cave, Walker County, Georgia, USA.

  • What, to rub it in? He's turned that town into a warzone of insanity. Might as well piss in the town square and head out.

  • I feel like this is just gift wrapping being a dumb racist hick in prettier paper. They are scared of cities because their full of black people, gays, and Mexicans. They like assholes who show the same level of hate as they do - who will keep the black people, gays, and Mexicans away. And they like someone who justifies hiding behind religion so they can tell themselves that God made them this dumb and rascist. So they can delude themselves into thinking they are really the good guy.

  • Nothing valuable, but I discovered a cache of Matchbox cars, coins, spoons, and small plastic toys all in a small spot in my yard when I first moved in. Seemed cool imaging the kids playing there years prior. Building tunnels in the dirt to drive their cars through and accidentally burying them for me to find later.

  • Where do you buy from?

  • Just rewatched that as well. Some of my favorite parts:

    • It's set in 2021
    • His brain implanted hard drive holds a whopping 80GB. He uses a "doubler" to increase his capacity to 160GB. The whole plot of the movie is that he loads 320GB in, which leaks into his brain, and he has to get it back out before it kills him.
    • The encryption key to the data is photos of a tube television screen that have to be faxed to the recipient.
    • One futuristic aspect to his hotel room is that the TV wakes him up with a personal message on screen and then he uses it for a video call.
    • The local rebels are a group called the Low-Teks - led by Ice-T. They end up having the highest end tech.
    • The best doctor around is Henry Rollins.
  • The fetish stuff is all created by people who can't experience ASMR and just assume it's what being horny feels like. Sad really.

  • What, you think I don't have any friends? Sigh. You are mostly correct. But I have this one.

    He's been renting for years. He's definitely moving. All clear.

  • Obama's comedic timing there was spot on.

  • This is going to be my new way to antagonize conservatives I know:

    ME: Did you know Harris has had 5 kids with 3 different partners?!

    MORON: I don't doubt it. She's a whore!

    ME: Oh sorry, I meant Trump.

  • They can't decide if they need the money upfront to fund the research and trials, or if they have to price gouge people for the result to get paid back for the research and trials.

  • As we know from Gore and Clinton, national numbers mean jack shit. Vote!
