  Straight to Leavenworth.

  What is with people and self-snitching? Do they need attention that much?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn right I'm a silly goose⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can get surprisingly far by making people laugh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are fan projects like 2009scape that you can play for free.

  Get on the grindset, steal consumer electronics and catalytic converters from your own family.

  I feel like there’s a followup with that fucking dragon as the giant hologram, and I’m trying not to imagine it.

  Mmm fecal microparticles

  There’s some subtle differences in the frame shape and other things that I’m too dumb to articulate. The only marks I can see are import marks from “CAI” - Century International Arms, which would be strange to see on a USGI 1911.

  I think this model is a Star BM, and surplus retailers were hocking these things for ~$250-300, about 6/7 years ago. I almost got one but decided against it.

  It’s some Star model pistol, looks like a 1911 but not quite, and in 9mm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blow dart⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A cheap springer airsoft pistol works pretty good in my experience

  I’ve thought about this a lot. I think its more the sheer oversaturation of “culture” than it is a true lack of imagination. People alive today consume exponentially greater amounts of “culture” (for the broadest term possible) than anyone ever before, and it’s not even close.

  When tech enables you to experience a movie or a video game or a performer 30 years after the death of everyone involved, in essentially the same fidelity as the day it debuted, “old culture” has a much harder time making way for “new culture.” If Star Wars exists, why care about Rebel Moon or whatever that movie was called?

  I think the public consciousness can only maintain cognizance and interest in so much, but at the same time creatives are constantly adding to the Culture Pile. But the more tech enables us to hold on to our past, it becomes more and more difficult to move on, and the majority of new stuff goes unwanted and unappreciated. And so the mass market dives into keeping the old alive with reboots, remakes, remasters, and now AI recreations, because that’s what people respond to.

  Last I knew they called the Russia-Ukraine war the “NATO War in Ukraine” and claimed Russia killed over 10,000 “NATO mercenaries” mostly from Germany.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no, anarchists!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My take is that it’s a joke of “what anarchists think they do” as the top comic vs “what anarchists actually do” as the dilapidated trap house.

  I’m not an anarchist but something tells me that going to Lemmy to shit on anarchists wouldn’t be well-received.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z is choosing not to drive⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody today is selling a 9 year old car for $900 or the inflation equivalent unless it was turned into a cube at the scrap yard.

  Cars are on average more expensive today, new or used. Gas is more expensive, and it’s likely more expensive to insure a young driver, which has always been expensive.

  If they choose “don’t drive” over “pour much of what little money I have into propping up a falling apart beater,” that’s still a choice. Why rag on them for it?

  It’s only going to get worse. I would suggest arming yourself and becoming proficient for your own self defense if you are comfortable doing so. No, lax gun ownership is not something a civilized country does, but this is not a civilized country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pornhub blocks North Carolina and Montana as porn regulation spreads⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, but its not something to laugh off. If Roe v wade being canned taught us anything, it is that conservatives are always planning something worse than what they are telling people.

  Right fucking here, they are telling people that they are going to criminalize pornography, full stop. That they are going to arrest and jail people even remotely involved in the porn industry, full stop. Imagine what they actually want to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pornhub blocks North Carolina and Montana as porn regulation spreads⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.[20]” — “A Promise to America”, Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 5, Project 2025
