I didn’t ask to be born in a country where burglars are likely to have firearms. But now that I am, I have to react to that fact myself.

It perpetuates itself. If someone thinks there is a significant probability a burglar might have a gun, getting a gun themselves can increase their chance of survival. This is even ignoring the actual culture around it, where people want guns “just to have them”.

I will always miss it. I love the glass aesthetic. It never went out of style in my head.
Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Why did AT&T think "Eye of Sauron" was the way to go?4·25 days agoI have one of these in my town. It’s a cell tower dead center in the middle of town, and they boxed it up in a building-like facade and put that glowing logo at the top. Massive eye of sauron vibes. It’s the tallest thing in the city. At night you can see it for miles.

Maybe they’ll start focusing on actually good GPUs again if that happens.

How do I obtain it???English42·1 month agoSide note: if you want to run a dedicated server and play on it with a cracked version (or just an offline mode or while MS services are down) edit the server.properties file and set
online-mode=false
from true. (Then restart the server if it was online)This wipes everyone’s inventories if there was already progress, so have everyone put their items in a chest before doing this. If you use modded, have everyone unclaim their chunks or any other username-bound items like teleporters with permission systems.
All of this can be redone, reclaimed, re-bound after the change happens. This effectively changes your in-game identities on a server from a Microsoft one to an offline one. This also makes it possible to evade username-based bans.
It’s a meme about how draining the cmos battery bricked some PC’s, I think. It’s formatted like the Wikipedia sidebar summary for articles on wartime battles.

Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Up to half of the earth's population doesn't have an inner monologue, up to half of the earth has never had a shower thought1·1 month agoI don’t have a monologue. For me, it’s images, concepts, ideas, and feelings all combined to make realistic depictions of the world and my ideas in my head. I don’t actually know how fast inner monologues go, if they’re as fast as normal talking or what, but my thoughts happen in an instant. I can picture myself going to the grocery store, what I need, where I park, where to walk, all in like a millisecond. It’s more like one single thought than several individual thoughts. And I can see and feel it and sometimes even “do” it in my head. Nothing is described with words.
Yeah, I think we’re all in agreement about that here. But everyone isn’t disarmed. I won’t give up my gun until I know with 99% certainty that your average burglar won’t get a hold of an illegal firearm.
