Yeah I know, I played Morrowind, Oblivion, and unfortunately Skyrim. I expect it to be pretty and large, but not have much unique, good stuff, the side quests will be “go steal this same vase 6x from different people oh look you run the Thieves Guild now,” and the main quests might be neat.

I’m not sure I’ll be picking it up tbh.

Yeah it’s crazy to me that british money weighs so much. Like c’mon guys just make it lighter it’s easier on your back!

Scum wit reminds me of a good ol’ Morrowind slur, S’Wit. Means like, slackwit, slowwit or something to that effect.

Oh I for sure know a few dip goblins, they leave trails of brown-filled water bottles everywhere.

Dillhole is a classic too which I’m fairly certain they frequently employed.

Probably “fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!”

Dirt Hat hackers now means Eco activist hackers, I’ve declared it.

Ads and tracking, same as always.

At least I’ll always have the comics lol.

That sucks. The producers (or directors or someone idfk) have just been charged with making the first screen adaption of one of my favorite ongoing comic series. I’m nervous.

Tbh I call because

“Pick up or delivery?”

“Pick up.”

"Name?

“[Name Redacted]”

“Alright and what can I get ya?”

“16” pepperoni, jalapeno, pineapple, that’s it."

“Alright 20min”

Is like a 1min conversation, and I’d rather do that than get charged $5 more for using online.

I know, I’m not happy about that.

I can never get a CG invite, personally, I’ve basically given up except for that offer in my bio to eternally curse your enemies for one (still standing btw).

Unfortunately they never do sign ups, open or interviewed, and even if they did interview I’m only on IPT, which nobody takes as proof lmao. I mostly use usenet these days unfortunately, but at least it does have it’s benefits, DrunkenSlug accts are easier to come by and it is faster, and they have many things, but unfortunately lack B movies and other stuff I’m really into, but at least there’s IPT, slsk, yt-dl and internetarchive for some of those.

Try palemoon if on linux, try linux if on windows. Idk how palemoon is for privacy really but it runs on potatoes because that’s what it is designed to do, comes preinstalled on antiX.

True and all that makes a difference, like in the states with restrictive laws on carry you’re less likely to have someone armed to defend, etc. Guns can only be a good defense when they’re there.

I’d be interested to find the total number who carry regularly though, but I couldn’t unfortunately.

I’d assume so as well. I figure if the unarmed defender had a gun there they probably would have used it lol.

Also important to note a few things about this data, the frequency which people carry and the likelihood of the shooting happening in an area where one isn’t legally allowed to carry.

According to this https://checkyourfact.com/2018/03/05/fact-check-what-percentage-of-americans-have-concealed-carry-permits/

Just 6.6% of Americans have a CCW permit. Some do also open carry, but the number can’t be that much higher, and not all of those people even carry regularly, some only do sometimes, let’s call it a generous 10-12% carry regularly. Even at 10%, that isn’t very many, you’re more likely to not have anyone armed around you.

Especially considering that most often, the type of mass shootings we’re talking about are public mass shootings, not mass shootings at someone’s house party that are gang related. Clubs, bars, schools, theaters, concerts, etc, are by and large areas where you’re not allowed to carry. Even some stores like walmart prohibit carrying guns inside (and have had shootings before.) This is also going to lessen the likelihood that someone will be armed to respond. Depending on sources the numbers of how many mass shootings take place in said gun free zones varies wildly. If we’re cutting out robberies and gang activity, John Lott at the Crime Prevention Research Center puts the number at 98%, if we’re including the gangs, drugs, and robberies, Everytown puts the number at 10%.

For an armed civilian to respond, one of those 6.6% of people has to be legally allowed to carry, and have happened to bring their gun today, and even then they still have a gunfight to win they can easily lose. 22/433 is 5.08% of times an armed civilian was the one who stopped the crime, at 6.6% or even 10% of people carrying, I’m gonna say 5.08% is not that bad and the number could go up if more sane people would carry and be ready to save themselves and others should the need arise.

Thanks for the info!

Hijacking this thread with a related question: I’m stuck on Mullvad, any good ones that let you port forward from linux? I’d like to use slsk more effectively once again.
