Insane to think an in image attribution is advertising, but a direct link is fine.
Tax stamps (recently repealed)
For the longest time, if you wanted certain types of weapons, you had to pay a $200 tax to own that weapon. These include surpressors, full auto guns, short barrel rifles, and short barrel shotguns
The point wasn’t to ban these things it was to make them prohibitively expensive because “its the poor’s who vomit violence”. And this tax was implemented in the 1940’s where $200 was off 2 or 4 times the cost of the gun itself.
A different example is gun registries and concealed carry license databases. I don’t trust the police to act calm when interacting with me when they know I have a gun. There are special classes that CCL holders take often so that they know how to read a cop and keep them calm during a traffic stop or a welfare check because cops are trained to shoot first and are very scared of the masses.
Think of Paretti here. Shot dead for having a gun. People blamed it on the ICE agent being a violent fascist thug trained like that. I don’t see it that way. I think he operated like a cop who was told no consequences.
We have videos of cops approaching black men, committing the crime of being in white people spaces, who ask them if they have a gun, the man says yes, the cop tells them at gun point to pull it out and drop it, and then shoost the man when he touches the gun.
I don’t trust police to use surveillance state information like who owns what guns in a way that won’t get me killed. Its why I’m still hesitant to get any tax stamp items. I’d love an SBR, but then I am legally required to let the ATF “inspect” my home if they ask me to. I have to tell the ATF when and where I’m moving to if I change states.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me?
5·4 months agoThis video by Northridgefix always stuck with me because most of why his business grew is because he spent so much Google ads that he made enough money to then move to a strip mall by a major road all while making YouTube videos and taking mailed in work.
He has another video looking for new employees because he had too much business.

I never want much just some albums or a couple movies.

Technology@lemmy.world•Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"English
13·5 months agoI think the problem you’re running into is that Valve isn’t doing nothing with that pay.
Like valve is actively making my gaming experience better by developing cheap hardware and a good system for gaming on Linux.
All the games I’ve ever bought, regardless of if they still sell them are in my library.
My save files are cloud synced for free.
I as the end user am having a good time.
I also have a sunk cost thing going on. I’ve been trying to buy and play more GOG games but I just have so much that works already on Linux without any work that it’s hard to justify the tinker time to get it working otherwise.
They provide such a good service I think we’ve all forgotten about the children casinos for CSGO2 skins, but even that they’re fixing (kinda).
Maybe its just nice to not be mad about something. Like its just video games, I don’t really care if Valve has a monopoly on that since 1) Experience is good 2) they’re not trying to have like a monopoly on water or something important. Bad take maybe, but there’s enough going on that I just don’t know if I could make myself care that valve is like 90% of videogame sales. Or whatever it is.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Not that I or anyone would ever have issues.
21·5 months agoI’m personally allergic to doing anything to my distro other than installing games and VSCodium.
Its why I barely understand the X11 v Wayland discussion. I have no idea how to customize my Linux set up, if a troubleshooting step says “May bork computer if done wrong” I just reinstall the Distro or try another one. It takes like 5-10 minutes to install Linux on most modern computers
To me this is a feature of Linux. “It works on my distro” means I’m using that distro now!

5·5 months agoI used to be a dual monitor guy on my gaming rig, but there were a few times I had issues with display (usually playing older games like Underlord)
So I just became a single monitor guy, but its a big monitor
This only works on others computers.
If the wizard themselves experience a minor irritating tech issue, then it stays permanently and forces the wizard to use a convoluted work around instead of asking another wizard for help (this would fix it)
Conscript is a better term
I think you missed the guy this is targeted at.
Worry not though. I get it. There isn’t a lot of nuance in the AI discussion anymore and the anti-AI people are quite rude these days about anything AI at all.
You did good work homie!
As a 6’2" this is my every day life.
I bang my head on nearly every door.
I have permanent brain damage and must be cared for regularly as my motor functions fail me from time to time.
I can barely talk coherently and I use an eye tracking keyboard to write like Stephen Hawking. This message will have taken hours to write.
But I’ve never had issues getting laid from dating apps because I’m 6’2"
This + Local Wikipedia + My own writings would be sick
Not AI slop but an art style I don’t like either
I’ve been in Florida this week. I have a Hispanic name and a dark complexion, so they keep trying to speak Spanish to me.
I’m not bad, but every time its happened its while I’m dead tired and I think I just can’t understand language for a second before I go
“Huh? Oh, uuuuuh, sorry. English please?”
Uber, car rental, hotel, doordash
Its great to be a native Spanish speaker in Miami
Shame I’m not that
