I mean, setting up Mullvad too isn’t that hard and compared to a Netflix subscription, it’s paid for itself several times over in the time I’ve had it. But I get that that might not be something your friends are willing to fiddle with.

That said, we’re on Lemmy, in the technology community – I’m reasonably confident that almost everyone here who is going to read your comment has the skills necessary to setup Mullvad and Plex; if not the entire *arr suite, a NAS, and Jellyfin.

Or, even better, stop giving them your money and get Plex or Jellyfin and return to the seven seas.

“Harassment.”

Oh, sure, wannabe Nazi, and you’d never do that, right? Harass anyone else?

He can dish it but can’t take it. Coward.

yeah I’m gay and I tried telling my family we should leave, at least to a more blue state, and they brushed me off; and indeed all I had to say was

“ok, well, when I’m the victim of a hate crime I want you to know I told you so. The German ‘undesirables’ who survived Nazi Germany were the ones who saw the writing on the wall and got the fuck out early while they could. The ones who who wanted to stick around and wait to see how bad it got, they were lead to the gas chambers. After they had their property seized and were brutalized for years at the hands of their government + any other German citizen who wanted to ‘do their part’.”

nothing else I can do but wait, so… hopefully it’s quick. I’ve resisted getting a gun all this time because I struggle with depression, but there may come a point in the near future where a bullet will be a mercy, so I suppose it doesn’t really matter.

They’ll only be able to afford running the truck every other day. Remember, most of the people doing these sorts of things will be poor, uneducated, and easily duped into fighting other poor people. When their truck costs an arm and a dick to fill up, and their grocery bill goes up by 50%, and all their imported goods go through the roof too; you can’t just have a pogrom every day! You gotta space that shit out, that’s just economics.

Remember those chuds in a pickup truck who basically hunted down and murdered a black jogger under the suspicion he was up to no good?

Yeah, get ready for that happening every other day.

lowering my expectations

hopefully, pretending to be straight or asexual; and being able to be happy without friends, as these will be needed survival skills

article is shitwalled 🥱

Well, I mean, you could grind it down smooth with said angle grinder + bring a rattlecan of rustoleum for after. Though I suppose that does increase your chances of getting caught in the act, I doubt it’d add that much time.

A shitpost I made years ago

I now can’t watch this movie without being reminded of Dick in a Box, and if I can’t, neither can any of you

So what I’m hearing is someone needs to go around with a battery powered angle grinder and just buzz those right off, as a public service.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Speaking of France, the last use of the guillotine for an execution was in 1977. There are probably people reading this who were alive when it happened – it’s not too late to bring it back.

Make Tyrants Fear Guillotines Again!

Conservatives: I like [insert obnoxious conservative figurehead] because they tell it like it is, they mean what they say

Also conservatives, sometimes in the same breath: Fake! [obnoxious conservative figurehead] didn’t mean that! Taken out of context! 'Tis but a jape!

Jesus fuck the reality distortion field is strong, it’s like doublethink but without being a clever social trick to survive, it’s just they’re that stupid.

I’m beginning to think reality is not guided purely by random chance or by an all knowing creator, but by a handful of adversarial scriptwriters trying to make a black comedy.

If y’all wanna get good at it and learn some advanced tactics, watch videos by MB93 or Duckwit. Invasion is about a lot more than just being the better shot, there are some excellent mind-games, misdirection, and traps you can use on both sides.

Wait til SE5 goes on sale if you do decide to get it, I’m wagering they’ll discount it somewhere around the release of SE6 in January. Probably for Christmas.

If not for the fact you said one’s on an Xbox, for a co-op experience I’d recommend Helldivers 2. However, a similar game to HD2 is Deep Rock Galactic, and it’s on Xbox as well as PC. Fantastic co-op shooter with some very funny humor, much like HD2 you can tell a lot of love went into the game; and much like HD2 the developers actually give a shit about it and their community. Since you said you don’t have a load of screen time, you should know a full mission is usually about 20-30 minutes.

For a PVP experience, you said you have two brothers – three is actually the perfect number if you wanted to get Sniper Elite 5 and play through the campaign with Axis Invasion enabled, you can invite one to play co-op and for the other, you can invite a specific invader. Two players would be playing as allied snipers infiltrating various locations in France and taking out Nazis, and the third would be an elite German sniper hunting them. It’s supremely fun to hunt people (as well as be “hunted” – though with two players you can really flip that on its head). And a mission in SE5, depending on how you play, can either take as short as 15 minutes or as long as 45 minutes, though probably on the longer end if you’re doing invasion – you do not play it like COD if you actually want to survive against a hunter.

Both of those have crossplay and should work on a Steam Deck, as well; although I’ve noticed Sniper Elite 5’s anti-cheat, when run through Proton on Linux, doesn’t like the game being installed on an external drive and won’t let you play online if it’s not running on the same drive the OS is installed on, and I imagine that’d probably extend to SD cards. So, if you go for SE5, make sure that brother installs it to the Deck’s internal storage or they might run into trouble.

Honestly, I’d say this depends more on the narration than the content. A good narrator can make any topic interesting, a great narrator can do that and make it soothing enough to fall asleep to.

Okay but this post would imply Trump is white.

I’d need to crank up the color temperature on his photos quite a bit to achieve that.
