Many are actually engineered to take the lives of animals, when you factor in the design of a hunting rifle and its hunting ammo. Those designs allow for the hunter to fill their freezer with high quality meat for far less cost than it could be purchased.

Pistols are generally designed for killing people though. Pistols are used more often in any kinds of homicide than any other type of firearm, yet strangely enough most modern gun control legislation tends to be focused on rifles.

“Nothing wrong with ordering food” - correct

But there is something wrong with paying double to have it delivered - it’s called wasting money. Do y’all have a lot of money to waste?

No, it’s still possible to get that for under $50 in my part of the US

Around these parts we have a couple of more affordable options but most of the big fast food chains have become $10+ meal bullshits. If the meal is over $10 I might as well go pay the same in a non-fast-food restaurant with a pick up order. But Jack’s (burger/chicken store) and Taco Bell still have meal deals for $7 or less.

Fountain drinks are a big ripoff, so you can save a bit by not ordering a drink if you have your own already.

Instead of a burger meal for $11 from bullshit fast food places I can buy a large entree of Mexican food for $8 to $9 before tax from a real restaurant. Chinese restaurants locally are similarly priced. I can get Mexican or Chinese takeout to feed the whole family for under $50

That’s an impressive level of financial responsibility, nice job

It’s more like “waving my dick in the wind” energy from where I sit

That’s cool I suppose. I also can’t get past the garbage portrait video format that everyone uses. People should pay attention to the names of those orientations, Portrait and Landscape, as they are a good indicator of the proper usage.

Shit off, hamburger!

I don’t want any of that shit.

Short form video content is a waste of Internet bandwidth and time. I don’t want to watch any narcissist filming their face talking about anything. Same goes for youtube talking heads.

No, and I wouldn’t want it to. I have plenty of space on my server anyway.

That is not true, it is completely possible with systems like Nextcloud and Owncloud. I have one set up at home and it’s great.

The phone app auto-uploads your chosen pics directory’s contents to your chosen cloud backup folder on a schedule or any time you want. And it’s free software.

What about the noble turkey?? Ben Franklin just rolling plumply in his grave right now.

Here’s my Spotify list for 2024:

It’s blank because I don’t do subscription bullshit or ads. I probably bought about 10 CD albums this year though and they became MP3s in my Plex library.

Plex top tracks play count:

Soundgarden

Jimi Hendrix

John Frusciante

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Ratatat

Meat Puppets

Lettuce

Lotus

Wellwater Conspiracy

TAUK

Your first comment was right: no phone

You have a really optimistic view of how the police would respond there. I’d wager that they would be more likely to be mad at you for bothering them with that complaint than actually do anything about it. In my experience, helpful cops are rare.

So many movies show people getting into gun battles indoors, and they will jump behind a couch or flip over a coffee table and take shelter from a hail of bullets, like that thin furniture is going to stop anything.

Nextcloud has a Notes app too

Sounds like a space about the size of Bubbles’s shed on Trailer Park Boys.

In the megalandlords shell company scenario, I’m sure that is hypothetically possible but it would at least make it more difficult for the mega corporations to buy so many single family homes. It would have to help improve the market. Shell companies could also be addressed in the legislation.

Pizza Hut buffet was a good deal for the price and quality, if you wanted to go have a lunch of real pizza.

Our local one is still here but they sold the big red roof building and moved into a strip mall. No inside dining, carry out only. I miss the drive-through though - used to be able to just order online or call and not have to get out of my car to get it. Now I have to park and walk inside and my precious convenience is reduced. But I still refuse to pay for Doordash type bullshit.
