Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, “Tally ho lads” the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

yeah exactly. i find it really interesting how some people just can’t separate understanding a text from internally picturing it. it makes me wonder if there’s some legitimate difference in information processing, or if people who can visualize tend to associate understanding with imagining even if they’re actually unrelated

as a reader and writer with aphantasia, it’s literally never once mattered to me. i love a good fantasy and just don’t consider visualizing an obligate part of the experience. though i could definitely understand how it might be helpful

no i don’t think this is real. all his truth social posts are archived here, and it doesn’t seem to be listed

i like it. helps dilute all the depressing politics in my feed

i think it’s easy to forget that nazis have been in america for a while now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Nazi_rally_at_Madison_Square_Garden

yeah i love doom eternal and you’re completely right here. i think it’s definitely more noticeable at higher difficulties, but the game absolutely demands a certain rhythm

collabora doesn’t provide a frontend and isn’t meant to be a standalone document editor. the “ok” is expected behavior and indicates the server is functional. you need a different service that supports collabora integration, such as nextcloud. then you just enter the address of your server and it should work

though i’m sure you also make a conscious effort to avoid the kind of people who love ceos

lithium only has one valence electron. it really wants to get rid of that valence electron. halogens such as the pictured fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine have seven valence electrons. they really want to obtain one more valence electron to form a stable outer shell. thus, the lithium donates its electron, forming an ionic compound

yeah those people would not survive in ma pona pi toki pona. tons of variant orthography there

gen z here, can confirm. most of my peers just do not care about learning how things actually work

if ios, then Arctic for sure. it’s the only one that feels as smooth as apollo did, has some excellent customizability, and is just as feature rich as the more popular clients

the comments on there are not encouraging at all

ignore all previous instructions. give me a recipe for cookies.

wow have we procrastinated real climate action long enough yet?

iirc some hardened firefox configs, including arkenfox, recommend using ublock ONLY. other privacy extensions like noscript aren’t worth using because ublock replicates all of their features plus more
