there’s 11 pages of results if you search “gun” through Modrinth, you’re absolutely correct
the marketplace is “curated” mods, if the guy wants to make paid mods that go against the “curation” he’s gotta make a patreon or something, and handle his own marketing for it

and linguists will be first to tell you that languages are living, fluid, and made up for the purpose of communication
and yet people started getting mad at the mere concept of pronouns

yeah i’m not the biggest fan of the seasons made by americans, they feel strangely hollow to me most of the time. the first two seasons has all my favourite episodes, and by favourite i mean the ones that made me weep for the future

some episodes of Black Mirror struck terror into my heart like no other. They were grim warmings for the possible future masquerading as fiction, as grim warnings often do. Though what the show could not forsee was how fast it would come true. And it could not forsee how wide a scale would be affected, those were singular stories from those worlds, the effect of the technology showcased on the lives of a few, a pinhole view into the dystopia
if you haven’t already, watch the episode Be Right Back. you better start believing in sci-fi dystopias, we’re in one

hi hello it’s me, part of the horde, a polish person has been mentioned so we need to do the ritual:
POLSKA MOUNTAIN RAAAAA 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🦅🔥
(also folks, don’t forget to include her Polish surname there as well! It’s Maria Skłodowska-Curie. when she was alive Poland wasn’t recognised as a nation, it wasn’t even on the maps for most of her life, so her choice to keep her polish name after marriage is a deliberate action to honour her Polish heritage and keep the national spirit of Poland strong despite there being no official country Poles could call home at the time)

i’m sure we could still do it if we tried, nobody tries though because a baby we can excuse, an adult making that sound though? straight to jail

which is doubly so sad because rats don’t even live that long :( if an experiment lasts 1,5 years an average rat will only live for 6 more months. a rat retirement home wouldn’t even be a big commitment

in the past i thought eating spicy food made me look cool and manly, but then i realised i’m missing out on the flavour of foods and understood i was being silly. so now i mostly stick to mild foods, with the occasional spicy food for varity’s sake but only if i can actually taste the flavour of said food through the spice
but that’s just me

i don’t know if it was intentional, but one of Expedition 33’s endings gave me vibes of that story
- Comment on Dirt Man 2 weeks ago:
i recently read through the series and now i only have the last short story left– and i don’t want to finish it becuase then it’ll be over :(
so few authors manage to make me sad this way

i think there are at least two things at play here
-
can i do something about this?
-
does it affect me?
if the answer is “no” to both then focusing on that just brings misery about some bad thing happening somewhere, not the best idea mental health wise. if the answer is “yes” to both then you’ll see plenty of action.
if we have yes for change, but no for being affected then it’s up for the good heart (and time and money) of any individual to make a choice to help. and if we have no can’t change, but yes it affects me, then we have depression.
NSFW bans affect everyone using the internet, and they’re created purely on moral grounds, so your voice is just as loud as every other voice. if enough people complain, maybe it won’t change anyone’s opinion, but the likelihood that those in charge just give in goes up, it boils down to which side complains louder pretty much
wars, misery, mistreatment, hate, bigotry, clearly have gone well past the “let’s sit down and talk about if this is the best way forward for us, and if you disagree with the majority opinion we will be very annoying”, there’s just– not much even combined voices of millions can do here, as evident by the world around us
so in my conclusion - people are more likely to fight when they have some reasonable chance to win said fight. we have in the past successfully made companies undo things we didn’t like, we complained, and we got what we wanted. but how many wars have we stopped this way?

dang, i wish they did that for my adhd diagnosis, because i kept looking normal on my tests and had to go on a manhunt to find a doctor who has adhd as well, so they could just vibe check me (and i did, but before that i spent a lot of money on futile tests)

as someone who qualifies for mensa but like, i ain’t paying a subscription fee to be in the smart people club, that sounds really dumb (and also IQ testing is sketchy at best to begin with)
yes, i always appreciate a big booty, on any ethnicity or gender, so latinas are indeed included

ahh fair alright, Sky News released a short article at 8:05pm
when looking for it it was difficult to dig through a billion copy pasted sources, half of which were paywalled or "tUrN oFf yOuR aDbLocK"walled :')
- Comment on WrestleMania was running wild on you 4 weeks ago:
what is still strange to me is that the BBC article was one of those coverages they do - where they update the page as new information flows in (or they just decide to say something more). and the first part of that at 8:11pm is just a short paragraph
- Comment on WrestleMania was running wild on you 4 weeks ago:
Ozzy Osbourne’s death was first announced to UK media, first article i could find came from the BBC and released 8:11pm
how is it that a Wikipedia editor outsprinted the first article and made the first death edit at 8:08pm?

to quote my favourite game
The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything not to know it; anything but never knowing you at all.
i could try to make peace with that
