Uh, when I first got an AR-15 about ten years ago, I went to Walmart first to see what they had. They had a bunch on a rotating rack you could pick up. Magazines and ammo were inside a glass shelf next to it. You just bought it all there, the only thing they did was walk you out of the store before handing it over.

I didn’t actually end up buying one though, I was given one by a local gun store as payment for saving them about $3500 a year on their IT bill and building them PCs. A nice little mostly custom AR chambered in .300 BLK. My father-in-law took it hog hunting one year.

What’re you talking about? I use a Firefox plugin that blocks ads on Twitch. I haven’t seen one since I started using it.

As an American, one of the most positive things that could happen to the world is the abolishment of the United States as a government. We’re directly or indirectly responsible for most of the ethnic cleansing that has gone on the last several decades.

I’m sorry to hear that. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Idk, but bone cancer looks like a bad way to go.

A device that allows me to kill any billionaire, world leader, or politician remotely, anywhere in the world, without them being able to stop me.

If it was someplace in Europe, absolutely. I would have zero qualms about ditching this dystopia. Sure, other places have their issues, but few are as bad the the US. With the far right takeover of the Supreme Court, it won’t be very long until the “land of the free” is no freer than Russia or China.

Dude anytime I watch something sad I cry.

I LOVE YOU TOO! OH MY GODS, I’VE BEEN DYING TO SAY THAT.

Technically, your wife is still your girlfriend. You two never broke up before getting married.

She gets bored looking at it all, probably. The most interesting thing I there is nudes of her.

Ok, she would get a little annoyed with all the pictures of her sleeping. She hates me taking photos of her asleep.

I like to refer to that corporation as “Little Brother”.

Without giving too much detail, I mix paint for commercial and industrial uses. We have plenty of business, but we get orders done ASAP so we can get back to being paid to play video games.

I spend about half my day or more at work playing videos games on my Steam Deck. And this is the busy season. Come winter, we won’t have anything to do.

I make more than the average for my area, and I work weekdays, nine to five. It’s a pretty good gig. The last week I’ve basically been paid to play Baldur’s Gate 3.

1.5Tb. I game on a Legion 5 laptop, and it came with 500gb for the OS. Then I slapped in a 1Tb ssd in the other slot. I don’t play more than a couple games at a time, so that’s way more than enough for me.

Idk why people are downvoting you, Aplalachia is one of the poorest regions in the United States, where there is little opportunity and a real lack of quality education. On top of that, drugs have ravaged the area, and the people are clinging desperately to a coal industry that is vanishing at a steady rate. Instead of looking for an alternative industry to boost their economy, the people there have doubled down, making some of the villages there literal ghost towns.

Its a shame too, because they have a beautiful country and a growing tourism industry that wants to take advantage of that. They need to lean real hard into the hospitality side so they can jumpstart their economy.

Yes of course it is. Those places do more than just repair too, they also do a lot of work adjusting shoes for people who have, for example, one leg that’s a bit longer than the other.

Now, you probably wouldn’t repair an athletic shoe, because those are supposed to be replaced as they wear out, but anybody who has a nice pair of dress shoes or boots or loafers may want them resoled when they wear out because the rest of the shoe is still good, and it’s wasteful to toss them. It’s a fairly simple process that takes a skilled worker about a half hour or so.

The Jan. 6th insurrectionists who thought Trump was going to pardon them all because they were heroes.

That was my response. You shouldn’t be doing personal tasks on a work phone. Has that ever been a thing corporations wouldn’t immediately fire you for? VPN or not, NSFW or SFW, don’t browse Lemmy or other social media on your work devices. Ever. Depending on who you work for, it could even be highly illegal, especially if it’s a government job.

You’re using personal software like Lemmy on your company phone?
