Well, I would, but:

gestures at leg and wrist in braces, cane, utter state of poverty, lack of public transit in a low CoL city I can qualify to rent at with SSDI as my only income

Here's how you go to jail for debt:

Rack up a ton of credit card debt.

Don't pay it off, goes to collections.

If it's high enough, and you don't move to another state...

Collections sues you, you get a court summons in the mail.

You throw away the court summons along with all your overdue bill notices.

Congratulations, you now have an active arrest warrant, police will be at your location in... a few days to a few weeks, you go to jail, then likely prison for contempt of court, and when you get out, the debt collector won their judgement against you by default, any wages you try to get will be garnished, your credit score is absymal so you can't get an apartment basically anywhere.

Not one who's seen their own kid(s) or brothers or sisters suffer through bad marriages and divorces.

It is... a bit odd, imo, that she'd just jump to that, not even knowing anon... but at the same time, a good number of older people just don't give a fuck / literally do not have much time to waste, so they just get straight to the point.

No, you're wrong.

Everyone that studies crimes for a living, you know, people with PhDs, who publish peer reviewed studids on mass shootings?

Precise definitions vary somewhat, but basically, a mass shooting is any instance where 4+ people are injured or killed by gunfire, in a single, temporaly and geographically constrained event.

Gas station robbery gone wrong? 3 people injured, one dead, by gunfire?

That's a mass shooting.

Because a mass of people... got shot.

A mass shooting related to gang activity... is a gang related mass shooting.

It is a subset of the category 'mass shooting', not a completely different thing.

You csn take that definition and apply it backward 40 , 60 years, and you will still see a massive, massive rise in the number of mass shootings in the last 20 years, number of people injured or killed by gunfire in mass shootings.

Zoomers are about 3x more likely to personally know someone who was present at the scene of, injured or killed in a mass shooting than Boomers.

For Millenials, its about 2x.

Fuck, that sounds awesome!

I used to have a set up like that, though it was wired, not wireless. I'd just haul the rig out to the living room lol, had a fairly small and light pc, so it wasn't too much work, did cable management to make the transitioning easier.

Also somewhat related... I was just talking with another person who was unable to get that level of quality, resolution and frame rate via streaming their PC to their living room TV... also they mentioned input latency with very fast paced and fine tuned racing games.

You mind if I ask how you're actually doing the streaming?

I meant it jokingly, meta referencing the toxicity of the entire 'real gamer' elitist nonsense.

You are still a real gamer to me lol.

Though I genuinely would suggest you play Ocarina of Time, if you can.

You say you're a PC gamer? Yesterday I was in a Nintendo Switch 2 / Steam Deck discussion, and I just set up an emulator and am running the 3ds OoT remaster at 60 fps!

(Somebody just asked 'hey can you run 3ds games on a Deck? So I just... did it, and reported back lol)

If I can do that on a Deck, you can do it on a PC =D

I think the common denominator is that everyone thought of something with... basically big, scary, straight teeth, as a promiment design element, attached to some kind of monster.

Strap him to hull of the next Starship IFT launch... if ... those are even happening, anymore.

Like, not to frame Bezos as any kind of 'good guy'... but at least he actually put his own life on the line to showcase how much confidence he had in the safety and reliability of his rocket.

Oh dear fucking god this lunatic actually is leveraged out the gills on options.

Jesus fuck.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 days ago

Either that or he is leveraged something like 70x on options, puts and calls.

Also: 18% battery -.-
