Will put an eternal curse on your enemies for a Cinemageddon invite.

I can never get a CG invite, personally, I’ve basically given up except for that offer in my bio to eternally curse your enemies for one (still standing btw).
Unfortunately they never do sign ups, open or interviewed, and even if they did interview I’m only on IPT, which nobody takes as proof lmao. I mostly use usenet these days unfortunately, but at least it does have it’s benefits, DrunkenSlug accts are easier to come by and it is faster, and they have many things, but unfortunately lack B movies and other stuff I’m really into, but at least there’s IPT, slsk, yt-dl and internetarchive for some of those.
Yess YEESSS! Gabba gabba we accept you, one of us! One of us!
Honestly if you figured out lemmy you can figure out linux at least enough not to be a 95yo about it.
Use a distro that is both popular and good for beginners, like Fedora or it’s KDE spin, or Mint. There will be learning, there probably will be troubleshooting, you’re switching from something you’ve always been familiar with to a new thing, it is unavoidable. It’s like moving to Mexico, you’ll need to pick up at least a little Spanish. It’s really not as hard as people make it seem, most questions will be solved by searching the problem and pasting in a terminal command, but it’s good to learn what those commands do over time. It might benefit you to use the computer more often while learning if possible.
Do it, you’ll be fine!
It doesn’t?
I’ve been known to watch a fight video there every now and again, yes.
Oh gotcha, yeah I took a few years of it in school myself, it’s a great language lol. I’m definitely not proficient enough to say I speak it though.
You must be loving all the german content on lemmy!
I agree with you but that’s the direction everyone else wants to go because places that aren’t heavily censored “become right wing hives,” and therefore the more censorship the better. It happens here on .ml too.
No that’s the correct translation, at least that’s how it is always said in English (if you mean a more direct German translation using a literal translation of the parts of one giant compound word, idk about that lol). And you are indeed right about that, but this is the world we live in, and these are the hands we’re given, gotta play the cards you’re dealt.
However I must disagree with your summary. For instance you think you needed it when they were banging on your door but you didn’t (thankfully, tbh), as evidenced by you not having it and still being alive. When you “need” a gun is when the other option is “an immanent threat of death or great bodily injury.” For instance the one time I’ve “needed” mine so far in life, a guy pulled a knife on me and I had it out before he had a chance to stab me, had I needed to fiddle with loading it he would have been able to stab me and take it, now I’m dead and I’ve armed him. I very much so could have literally died, in no figurative sense, and if I ever “need” it again it’ll be comparable because I’m not just going to pull out a loaded gun all willy nilly like some people would, had they had it loaded.
Still I’d rather I have one and you/they do too than neither of us have one and you/they have a knife instead. Unless you also keep your blades stored separately from the handle I guess. At least if I need mine to protect me from you, I’ll have it ready when need be.
I mean yeah, I don’t really think you should have a gun at all if you’re saying the main thing stopping you from misusing it is that the ammo is stored separately, tbh. That doesn’t scream “safety” to me really, it seems more like a ticking time bomb. Not much I can do about that, but at any rate as I said I am now in agreeance with your chosen method of carry so long as it means you’re less likely to misuse it on an innocent person, even if that unfortunately comes at the expense of your safety. I was encouraging more firearms access before you divulged this information, and with the new information my opinion on the matter has shifted. Again, what I said was really under the assumption that you still wouldn’t shoot people you don’t have to, not because the ammo is stored separately, but because it is “wrong to do.”
Well, if that was your response I’m inclined to agree. “Safely” was a big part of what I said earlier and tbh you don’t sound super safe if you’d have “shot many different people.”
“we’ll chop your head off if you don’t leave”.
Lol yeah, it’s kinda that, but like “happy.”
Never unlock the door after close, she probably fits in the typical category of inconsiderate assholes who “just want an X,” but this is also a common robbery technique. They’ll have someone nonthreatening knock on the door to try and get you to open it to say “fuck off we’re closed” and the second you do 4 dudes with guns (or knives, machetes, whatever) run around the corner and rush the door.
Just hit em with the “we’re closed” lipsync and the “we’re closed” international symbol: hand chop moving away from the body in front of the dominant hand side of your neck 2x.
You heard him folks, no crossfit near schools, ist verboten!
but I don’t keep them loaded or accessible. by the time I had something ready,
Heads up, you’ve just found a huge flaw in your security. You should have something loaded and accessible, especially somewhere like a strange roadside motel in the US. If you have kids that presents an extra challenge, because of course you have to keep it away from them, and that means on your person (not off body carry, on body, good holster preferably concealed, or with active retention) or in a quick access safe (which is fairly unrealistic in a motel).
If you needed it in that moment (and thankfully you ended up not needing it of course), you did not have it in that moment. You admittedly didn’t “have” it until the moment passed, which had there been a deadly threat or threat of great bodily injury (the definition of “need gun”), you would have been unprepared for it and perhaps fallen victim, or been unable to help protect the victim.
If you want specific advice relating to the topic of carrying/self defense I’d be happy to answer any questions I can. I’m not an expert, but I’m not a novice either, if you’re familiar with Elder Scrolls skill levels let’s call me a Journeyman lol. I just want people to stay safe and be prepared, god forbid you ever need it but if you do you want to be ready (and safe, of course).
Among us wasn’t around until like 2020, the events I speak of are around 2003, thus it became popular before for homophobic reasons, and then had a resurgence around 2020, which is what I’m surprised about.
The links I provided contend it was still being used in a homophobic manner in 2020, too, as they don’t say “used to be” but say “is currently” 4y ago, so supposedly they were experiencing it then too rather than from memory like me.
I’m sorry to be the one to break the news to all of you, I guess.
Well, regardless of that, it is/was used for homophobic reasons.
Yeah it’s crazy to me that british money weighs so much. Like c’mon guys just make it lighter it’s easier on your back!
