Will put an eternal curse on your enemies for a Cinemageddon invite.

  • I have seen a lot of movies where the Catholic School Nuns smack a students hand for being disruptive or something is this a trope or a real something? Like most notable in Blues Brothers

    Jump

  • Wait do the nuns bugger? Thought that was only the preists.

  • There aren't any ancient ruins with crazy traps and riddles

    Jump

  • Tbf there's that one tv show about that one island in canada or something that had buried treasure and a bunch of traps but then it turned out the treasure had already been found and they think a freed slave found it when he bought the island back in the day or something like that.

    Admittedly I've only seen one episode, a friend who watched it filled in the details on where it went lol.

  • Smart glasses and socializing

    Jump

  • This feels like it's supposed to be tongue in cheek, but it's too close to reality tbh.

  • I have the absolute worst reason for dual booting Linux and Windows

    Jump

  • BEST reason, I miss my Zune so much, they ruled.

  • Glad she found the right people to love her 🥹

    Jump

  • I've got one that is "too" playful. I love her and she's staying, but she does need to chill the fuck out sometimes lmao.

    Doesn't help that her version of playful is knives. Stabby little kitty. But she's stabbing me with love so it's ok.

  • Do you think someone is going to swagger up to you and announce they're attacking you? Are you going to pull your knife on every man that approaches? Oh you'll only do it for the scary looking guys? Jeffrey Dahmer didn't look real scary did he now.

    Tbf she'd be safe from Ol' Jeff, you or I might have to worry more about him than she would. Bundy OTOH...

    Also oddly it's not usually strangers killing women, men are actually more likely to be killed by a stranger than women, women (out of those murdered of course as murder at all is fairly uncommon) are usually killed by people they know.

  • Is Winnie the Pooh considered "racist" now or are .ml folks using it as an excuse to defend Xi Jin Ping?

    Jump

  • It literally was started by Chinese people in China as an insult to Xi specifically. It isn't racist, it isn't applied to all Chinese people, it isn't even "because Pooh is yellow." People saying it is racist are just looking for a way to shut down criticisms of Xi, and crying "that's racist" often bypasses people's critical thinking abilities and makes them just capitulate because "well I don't want to be seen as racist and I'm not the race in question so I don't have the authority to decide if it is or isn't."

    Could it be used in a racist way by some racist person who doesn't understand the context? Sure. Does that mean "the act of making fun of a specific despotic dictator by using a children's character he happens to resemble" is racist? No.

  • US | Conservative lawmakers want porn taxes. Critics say they’re unconstitutional.

  • What are some of your most useful or favorite terminal commands?

    Jump

  • Is there a version of $_ that works with mv? It just keeps renaming my files to "filedir," I'm trying sort through a directory and move some files to another for keeping, be easier if I could do:

    mv picture1.jpg /path/to/keepdirectory

    then do something like

    mv picture2.jpg $_

    And so on. But with that I'd just be renaming all my photos "filedir" instead of moving them lol.

  • Lemmings who enjoy eating buldak original or hotter noodles. Do you feel nothing when you eat hot buffalo wings? Do you just drown food in hot sauce on a regular basis?

    Jump

  • Yeah, pretty much. "Buffalo" sauce is literally average hot sauce (like Texas Pete, Tabasco, Louisiana, Crystal, etc, that style of cayanne-and-vinegar sauce) mixed with butter to cut the heat, it isn't hot.

    The cheese is less hot than the OG btw, and don't even bother with the 2x hot in the red/black package. Don't get me wrong, they are hot to me too, I just like it.

  • Colombian guerrillas vow to spend ‘last drop of blood fighting the US empire’ after attack on Venezuela

    Jump

  • How the hell did a random Columbian Guerilla end up running a fucking DPMS Kitty Kat?! Of all the choices in the world, that certainly is one of them.

  • Warning to new tutamail users, your account could be temporary

    Jump

  • Yeah they deleted an acct of mine for inactivity, then when I replaced it they flagged the new one for manual review saying "this addr cannot send/receive emails until it is cleared, please email us at [support acct] using [the very acct that cannot send mail, ffs]." Like dude how can I email you from the email on your servers that you have blocked from sending email? How does that make sense to you?

    Anyway I made a Disroot acct which is better for me because IMAP support. They flagged me for review too, but then approved TWO different emails without all that horse shit from Tuta. Their sign up site can be a bit confusing (in particular their "human check" just says "weak password" unless you hit the character count so just max that out, but as a result of this confusion I'm using a 64char long randomly generated pass so, yay) but other than that they've been great so far.

  • Apparently they don't really hunt people in the wild, they'll kill the fuck out of people in captivity though (understandable imo.) They were ramming yachts for a little bit but they didn't hunt the people there either, oddly enough, and it may have sort of just been in fashion for the wales to do at the time. They've also started the old fashion trend of wearing a salmon on their heads again, even in the animal kingdom trends are circular it seems.

  • How do I prevent someone breaking and entering a house?

    Jump

  • That's all well and good but the prosecution in your case, and there will be a case, is definitely going to use the fact that you were shooting irresponsibly against you.

    First of all as has been previously noted by another user, it has been used successfully to "prove" that the defendant didn't fear for their life and as a result people who were just defending themselves have wound up in prison for a long time.

    Second, "aim for grazing shots" is dangerous, and is more likely to injure a bystander than putting an appropriate hollow point bullet into the thickest part of an attacker, center mass, where the bullet is more likely to be contained rather than exit (and if it exits, it will have dumped most of the kenetic energy into the target and broken up a bit, thus still safer.) Literally all training classes teach you to aim for center mass because of this, and the fact that you're more likely to actually hit than miss entirely, which is pretty important. Like Mel Gibson says in The Patriot when he and his kids ambush the british, "Aim small, miss small." It's a movie, but it's no less true, "chest bigger than head, hit to chest better than missing head." (In this case, "head" would be "graze," but that advice is so untethered from reality I'm not used to it, most people you have to tell this to are aiming for heads or feet, which it also applies to, so I'm used to instructing them rather than grazers.)

    I suggest you take a bare minimum defensive pistol/rifle class before giving advice designed to get people killed or imprisoned, they can be very informative.

    For anyone else reading his advice: PLEASE do not listen to that, look up the laws in your specific area and take basic safety and basic defensive courses, and practice until you have muscle memory.

  • How do I prevent someone breaking and entering a house?

    Jump

  • 3" door screws and a good lock.

    Also AR15, if you legally/mentally can. Last line of defense, but without it the last line is the door/windows.

  • Reddit Is Now Autobanning Any Promotion Of The 2nd Amendment

    Jump

  • Well that depends on many things actually, this isn't exactly true.

    In the case of sites like reddit, it's mostly through mail, meaning it would have to be mailed from an FFL to one near you where they do a background check. If it's in person, that still depends on state laws, some allow it, some allow rifles but handguns must be NICS checked, in some states it must go through NICS.

  • One of mine is great at the vet. The other? They need the stab proof gloves. She was raised by raccoons until I got her, found her in a dumpster with one protecting her. She's a good cat though, loves me, just not literally anyone else.

  • Smart cat

  • I think so too, the "money" doesn't look right. The letters and serial are fucked.

  • What common American habits do people find quietly annoying?

    Jump

  • Fun fact: in America most common brands of both honey AND maple syrup are just flavored high fructose corn syrup. It's not like we don't have the real stuff on the same shelf, but you have to pay attention to the labels or you might get some bullshit.
