I saw this article with a giant photo of Trump’s face and the line, “Later found dead” and I got my hopes up for a moment.

There was a moment in that fight where Pink got killed and dropped a bunch of grenades when he went down (an ability one of your custom uniforms grant you). And we all happened to be grouped a little too close together, so we all got blown up by him. That’s my one death in that mission - a team kill. I wonder if that did enough damage for his score, or if he kept flagging people with his rifle while shooting enemies.

That’s one of the interesting things about this game. Some players have asked the devs for the ability to turn off friendly fire, but they refuse, saying that friendly fire is funny and part of the ridiculousness of the game.

Good to know. I’m always on the lookout for a better, more secure option. eufy is my best option at the moment, but if you (or anyone here) knows a better choice for home security systems, I’m all ears.

This is why I a.) live out in the countryside, and b.) replaced my dad’s old Ring cameras with eufy security cameras.

eufy doesn’t require a subscription service (although you can get one if you want to trust their cloud service). If you buy a HomeBase, you can store all your security footage locally on a small box. Easy to hide and/or grab if you need to get out.

Sure, there’s a security risk of storing data locally. But I trust myself to protect video recordings of my property over some company’s cloud service. Ring complies with police when asked for your video footage, and they don’t even notify owners most of the time. Cops could be looking through your video feed without your knowledge, which is a nightmare if you have cameras inside the house.

And now, apparently, so can your neighbors. Fuck Ring.

That’s “Rock the Country,” aka “MAGA Fest.” It was a different show held in South Carolina, where all the other artists started dropping out when they realized it was promoting MAGA.

Kid Rock was headlining that show, but it’s separate from Turning Point USA’s halftime show starring Kid Rock. As far as I know, that one is still happening.

In India, it’s a huge taboo to kiss anyone whom you’re not married to. Public affection in general is mostly frowned upon there, and sometimes charged as a crime depending on where you live.

That’s why you never see lovers kiss in Bollywood movies. They always just hug or hold each other at arms length. They would be outraged if two actors who aren’t married to each other kissed on screen.

American here. My childhood home was completely covered in thick carpet, except the entryway and the kitchen, which was laminate tile. Yes, even the bathroom was carpeted. My bedroom literally had shag carpet.

My family always wore shoes indoors. And then wondered why the carpet was discolored, worn, and tearing in places.

I spent 20 years traveling the world after becoming an adult and learned about many other cultures who took off shoes before entering homes. Now I feel weird wearing shoes even in the entryway.

By the way, I’m retired now and living back in my childhood home, which I inherited when my father passed away. The whole place has been re-carpeted, the bathroom and dining room floors have been swapped out for laminate/wood paneling, and when I get around to remodeling the living rooms, I’ll probably switch them to wood floors as well.

They try to keep a low profile globally, but they fully support Russia and North Korea. Not to mention, all the drama in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the surrounding seas.

This is from a video game called “Among Us.” Everyone plays members on a space ship that has been infiltrated by a shape-shifting monster, who is killing them one-by-one. One of the players is the monster.

The players can call a meeting to vote who to eject into deep space, hoping to discover who the monster is and eliminate them.

In this case, one of the members claimed the monster is the red member, but they’re really annoyed by the black member. The whole crew voted to throw out the black member instead. Red is sad for being accused, but happy not to be ejected.

I dunno why, but warm lighting at night just makes me feel depressed. I need daylight bulbs across my house. Adjustable brightness preferred though, so I’m not blinding myself at night.

I use Voyager. I have NSFW posts set to blur. I need to open the thread to see it un-blurred.

I do this so I don’t have random NSFW images popping up on my phone while I’m being antisocial out in public. Yes, I could have the app just block all NSFW posts. But then I would miss beautiful works of art like OP’s post.

I was wondering why this was marked as NSFW. That explains it.

Yeah, they must mean the original, since this mod just released today. But if you read their whole review, they don’t directly reference the original game once, they just gripe about all the things they don’t like about this mod.

I love this negative review. Notice their hours on record.

As a veteran, I thought this was going a different route when it mentioned “vets.” But it’s very true. I’d trust a veterinarian as a doctor in the zombie apocalypse.

The value of minerals is based on their scarcity (or companies agreeing to price-fix *cough* _diamonds *cough* ). If Superman brought a large chunk of gold back to Earth, it would upset the market value of gold, thus devaluing the chunk he found as well as all gold on the planet.

You can’t just “print money.” That’s how you get hyperinflation. Same goes for rare earth minerals; bring home more and the value for all of them globally is reduced, creating a hyperinflation of minerals.

If Superman brought home a large enough chunk of gold, he could essentially crash the gold market and then it would be a practically useless shiny rock. He couldn’t even buy bread with it.

Yeah it was my Reddit app too. But when I switched over to Lemmy, there were a lot of initial issues with the app, and the dev would vanish for months before responding to complaints.

He was very reactive when he came back, addressing every issue people pinged him on. But then he’d just be gone again and any further issues were stuck until he decided to return.

I remember that being a problem I had with his Lemmy app in the beginning. I specifically remember webm files didn’t load at all, until I pinged him right before he pushed an update and he added it to his patch. But then his patch broke a few other things and nobody could reach him for another 3 months.

I still can’t remember what the final straw was for me, but I had an ongoing issue that had no resolution until the dev decided to show his face again and I decided that was it. I needed an app with a more reactive developer.

When I was living in Japan for a few years, I ended up dating a Filipino lady for a while. But she had no concept of colloquialisms; she took everything I said 100% literally. I quickly discovered that the English language is riddled with colloquialisms and we use them constantly.

One evening, she had called me maybe 6 times over the course of a couple hours. On the next call, I picked up and said, “Damn, you’re killing me!”

She immediately broke down crying. She wailed, “Why would you ever say that?! I would never want to kill you!”

It took maybe a half hour to calm her down and get her to understand that this is an English expression and not meant to be taken literally. She finally agreed that I didn’t mean it, but she told me I’m not allowed to use that expression again, because it hurts her heart to hear me accuse her of wanting to kill me.

I actually switched away from Sync. I forget why, it’s been a while, but something about that app was bothering me, so I shopped around and ended up on Voyager.

The lack of profile pictures and custom username fonts is probably the only downside to Voyager. But I love everything else about it. And it’s free; I had to pay for Sync to get rid of ads and other junk in the app.

I turned 24 in 2008. I had been serving in the US military since I turned 18, and in 2008, I was stationed at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, my second military assignment after 3 years at Misawa Air Base in Japan. I got orders in 2008 to relocate to Osan Air Base in South Korea for a year, with a follow-on assignment to Germany.

In January the very next year, I would marry my wife and she would join the US Air Force as well, leaving for her basic training literally 5 days after our wedding. Oh, and we got married over webcam, from opposite sides of the globe. I was stationed in South Korea and she was living in Nebraska at the time, so we mailed the marriage license back and forth to pre-sign it, then we did the ceremony over Skype from our respective bedrooms. We would meet up in person later that year in Germany for my fourth military assignment (and her first).

I’m turning 42 this year and have been retired for almost 4 years now, after serving for 20 years in the military. I’m fully retired, as the military kind of beat me up physically and mentally. My wife and I both qualified for the coveted “100% Permanent and Total Disability” through the VA, so we can afford to be retired at such a young age.
