Meanwhile that’s about how many came into the US DAILY during Biden’s presidency.

I did once have someone give me a roll of quarters and I walked out with $70. I figured the only reason I won was because it wasn’t my money.

Why not both?

I’ve never been a gambler because I’ve only ever lost. I’d say I’m down ~$30 in the last 30 years.

It also depends on where and other context. If it is an old frail man or a woman being punched by a dude twice their size it absolutely can be. I also said it depended on the state and I said maybe. I’m not spreading false information.

It really depends on the state. Quite a few people have been killed by being sucker punched. So if you punch someone out of the blue they can say they feared for their life.

And breaking legs, the amount of force depends on the person. My daughter broke her own legs twice just by slipping on a stair a little. What if they’re carrying a retractable baton and when you punch them they hit you in the knee with it? Not unreasonable in a lot of the US.

I can’t speak to the laws in other nations but in the US it depends a lot on where they’re recording. If you’re just out on the street, it’s not only not a crime to record in public, it’s a protected right. So if you punch them they’d be solidly in their rights to mace you or break your legs, maybe even shoot you in many states. And then have you arrested and force you to pay for a new pair of glasses.

But if they were doing that shit on private property or somewhere worse like a restroom, give them the ol western bouncer treatment and send them flying out the door with a broken pair of glasses. I mean you could assault them out in public too, but there could be some unpleasant consequences.

Well obviously. I was calling them out for the reason for the half-measure. They want to signal their values while not abandoning the larger shittier advertising market. I’ve never used Twitter/X because it’s always been an obvious cess pit but organizations can’t resist that place or Reddit, or so it seems.

They’re reducing and not leaving X because there’s fucking nobody on mastodon in comparison. Reach still matters and the fediverse is very hostile to normies

Most of them in my area are about 25 feet / 8 meters up in the air.

The average user won’t notice any difference.

Ok but they were selling shitty laptops with 4g of soldered RAM very recently. I also had to deal with a 64gb soldered SSD, that piece of shit wasn’t even that old, it was a Windows 11 PC . The torx still annoy me, but they’re a garbage company. Don’t even start on their printers.

It’s always torx. I don’t need them for anything else. And yeah I own a couple of torx bits but I have a really nice selection of Philips I keep right at hand. But like I said, that’s just one of many reasons.

I like to fix or upgrade people’s PCs here and there. I always tell people not to buy HP. There are 100 reasons, but one big one is they won’t just use regular fucking screws.

Born male, transitioning for six years, supposedly.

Europe never stopped being Rome.

I have at least 80 DIMMS of DDR3. Upgrading an old tower this morning.

My 4070ti isn’t as beefy but there’s still not a non-nvidia upgrade. And I am able to play most of my games at 4k / 120. I’d like to upgrade mine so I can give my card to my daughter and give her 3060ti to her brother who is currently running a 1060.

You can’t even buy a Toyota truck with a decent bed length though.

They won’t let you import it, or it will be very costly to do so.

We have one of the most car dependent societies in the world and also the highest car prices. Burn it down and deregulate.
