- Comment on Which gun would you use in a shtf scenario if AI went rogue 5 days ago:
I think you don’t see much colt anymore because they were matched by other manufacturers in quality but they never dropped their prices. I had an acquaintance with a side hobby/job of putting together rifles for people who wanted to source their own parts and make ‘frankenstein’ ar rifle platforms. I can’t remember exactly now (it’s been over a decade), but a high quality gun would cost you a little over a grand, and colts would start at one-and-a-half grand. Cheap ones were as low as $300 or $400.
That’s just ridiculous for most people buying a gun. The choice is often dictated by pricing, and the name didn’t do enough to counter the price for the people who would care about names, and the quality wasn’t better than cheaper guns for the people who cared about quality. Colt just willed itself off into the sunset.

Binga bango. One of the most important things to realize with microwave warming is that just like all (okay, probably most) other forms of heating, it works from the source of the heat (which is outside of the burrito) towards the matter being heated.
In the form of government horrors to curb protests, it means shooting microwaves at you and causing your skin to feel as if it is being boiled. In the form of your burrito, it means that the outside of the burrito will be blistering hot, and continue heating, and the heat has to slowly be conducted inwards. If your plate is not perfectly resistant to the operation of the microwave, it will also be getting hot, and since it is typically thinner and has less heat capacity (because most food has water, which has gargantuan capacity) than your burrito, it’s going to get a lot hot, very totly.
So yes, use the power settings to allow the heat time to work it’s way into your burrito and not fry the outside to death while causing your plate to consider whether today’s a good day to go molten.

President Camacho!
On a more serious note, among the recents, I highly doubt Bush jr or Obama were into pedophilia. Nixon and LBJ both had power tripping tendencies, and we know LBJ like to talk about and even show his wang, so they might be candidates. I’d weigh in on Carter not being one, but obviously he was smart enough to know how to hide that sort of shit as a politician, so who knows… Ford’s another one that it could go either way.
Reagan probably was one but everyone at the epstein places was probably too smart to invite him in on it.

You were making a post to a .world community, what did you expect?
- Comment on Lemmy Shitshow 1 week ago:
Personally, I stay away from the womens stuff community because it is so incredibly stupid to constantly whine about people coming in and commenting when you’re making a place that literally broadcasts your posts and comments in a way that invites others to come and comment. It’s no different than having a conversation on a busy street using bullhorns and then complaining about people joining in.
When some form of the fediverse can properly do closed communities with a whitelist, then I’ll happily head there.

Nah, anyone who has ever shot off their own fireworks knows that professional shows are idiotic. It is incredibly more fun to light your own, scramble back, and watch it blow. It’s not even a comparison. It’s the difference between watching a movie on the original gameboy instead of an imax theater. If you never had the chance to do it as a kid, don’t deprive your kids of the fun.
We just need a place that’s available for folks, relatively safe in not being a fire risk, and is NOT in a neighborhood or near ranches/farms, although I bet the county/city could rent a rancher’s field or pay enough to relocate the cattle for a few nights. Pay for a few busses, and you’ve got a slick set up.
It’s the same argument as with illicit drugs. Ban it, and people are just going to seek it out on their own. Regulate it, and you can start playing with all sorts of scenarios. How far would education go in reducing the amount of suddenly splayed hands that emergency rooms have to see? How many fires and traumatized folks/animals would suddenly no longer have to hear it if you encourage it to happen elsewhere instead of simply attempting to forbid it? You could offer a free mortar round to anyone taking a safety briefing before entering the fireworks grounds, or free ice cream for fifteen minutes of fire watch duty on the edges and/or any other prosocial activities you could get kids and teens up to.

MMmmmm, I’ve definitely been the one to suggest taco bell for the workplace lunch trip, but I picked it up from others, so unless we were all secretly feeling shame as we chowed down on flour thickened beef and beans…

I know I’m sometimes naughty, but whenever I’m the ‘third wheel’ out and about, this is always kind of a secret wish in the back of my mind.
There’s a part of me that hopes that everyone is like that and I’m not on the far end of the libido spectrum.

I mean, fair, but hopefully that’s well understood as part of the equation. You’re also not going to turn out well if you’re constantly practicing self harm or smoking, whether cigarettes or meth, but I’m not out here being exhaustive.

I love the dog; I hate the yapping. I love the fireworks; I FUCKING hate how they scare the poor thing.
If people weren’t such assholes, it would be a cultural thing to have a designated area where everyone could shoot off their fireworks. Instead, people shoot them off whenever they please in their neighborhood, and they all get banned if the local authorities have the power, and people STILL shoot them off whenever they please because who is going to still be outside by the time the fucking brain dead cops come around.
Could you imagine if people would get together to shoot off their fireworks? A party of 10 would put the average paid for fireworks display to shame, and there’s going to be loads more than 10 people in your average area that would be shooting off fireworks. Too bad we can’t have nice things because ‘cunt, cunt, rumble, rumble, I’m so fiercely independent, engine rev, engine rev.’

It’s all about getting lucky. I work with geriatrics on the regular, and all races have people who somehow manage to look in their 50s while on their deathbed, and some who look like they’re on their deathbed at 40.

I think it’s a compare/contrast pair. He said that he’s “pretty deep into it,” where “it” is a pretty wide circle, but then contrasts how deep of an entry it is by stating something in the entire perverted circle but out of “[his] circle.”

IME lots of boys like the idea, but have a low tolerance for loss of control, and no confidence that even if worked up gently they would actually enjoy being pushed.
Aye to the tolerance, but I think that is a HEAVY trust issue more than anything else. They’re coming to someone they’ve basically never met before, and you think completely giving up control is going to be okay? That’s how folks get murdered (statistically rare, sure, but can you imagine a better scenario for killing someone?) in every bad fiction novel and ‘true crime’ talkyrecording.

Before I’d say that, I’d really want to see the footage, not just a picture of a very particular moment. Sort of like how when you watch the video of musk, it is absolutely clear what he is doing.

Fighting takes too much energy. It was never a witty comic, but it would resonate with you when you were in the office job that had a nepo boss making random decisions. The life of the comic was just the same joke said in a thousand different ways though, which is why we can now look at it and mentally shrug.

Wait, what bit? I still have that song occasionally come on the ‘disney playlist.’ Admittedly, the only thing I can remember is a ‘square with a horn,’ but you’d think I would notice something racist in the middle.

I think the one thing that EQ had over Wow was the emphasis on group content to level. Holy hell was it a slog to level if you weren’t grouping and running the actual dungeons. Wow, meanwhile, was a slog if you did anything but the single player quests. The times when my friends came to help on EQ, I would see my xp bar jump. The times when we did the same in Wow, there were fights over what to do because we were so frustrated with leveling.
