You really need to read up on American history.

If you’re a power user there’s a minor learning curve to prevent shit from breaking and some mild inconveniences like being unable to use NFC. Location can also just not work at times. Overall, I’m glad I made the switch.

Yeah but Space Marines though.

Why is what? Why did the ban expire? It had a sunset date and wasn’t extended. Why are fully autos not popular? Combination of laws and practicality. Why are certain civilian semiauto rifles called assault weapons? Military has assault rifles, civilians use the broader term assault weapons to capture a broader category.

Why not go after handguns? NRA and their ilk keep blocking those efforts.

But if you can afford it buy the subscription.

The Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired in 2004. In the civilian context, an assault weapon is semiautomatic. Fully automatic weapons are, to put it lightly, uncommon among civilians so assault weapon refers to a variety of styles of semiautomatic firearm.

You have to just accept the kind of campy look to the show, as well as some of the more questionable acting and dialogue choices. Once you just accept that this will be the presentation, you can focus on the story, which is very insightful and complex. At its heart it’s a political drama about American intervention in the Arab-Israeli conflict (never explicitly stated, but it’s pretty evident almost immediately), with a shadowy outside threat, presented through a sci-fi lens. Then it adds way more mysticism and fantasy elements as the series progresses. It’s a fantastic exploration of human nature, I strongly recommend it.

It left HBO before I could finish the last season. I just got a Tubi account so I can close it out.

They’re having trouble finding people who want to do the job for the pay they’re offering.

You mean the rumored several alternatives, that I asked you to elaborate on, and you told me to Google? Yes, clearly you listed specifics.

Oh fascinating, the top response is working for a subscription-based publication that has editorial staff and pays them. The second is freelancing for a subscription-based publication by selling articles to them. Wow.

Do tell.

Either it’s not paywalled for them or it’s still good journalism and maybe journalists shouldn’t work for free.

I get you. There’s good and bad in law enforcement, especially when it comes to tech and social media. On the one hand, there’s pretty serious crime happening online that needs to be stopped. On the other, wild invasions of privacy. There’s no easy answer at this point and governments obviously won’t police themselves.

You don’t need motive to convict. Just the correct mental state (mens rea) and the commission of the relevant elements (actus reus). Motive helps, but it’s not necessary.

But a DDOS attack would probably fall under the CFAA, possibly some other criminal statutes depending on the facts.

And yet, and this will shock and amaze you, they’re probably here already. Lemmy isn’t a secret.

Probably because it’s expected, it’s happening “somewhere else” to “minorities,” and the people being racist aren’t always using slurs. Same reason news outlets don’t really report on crime in known high-crime areas. Many people do not understand that these issues also affect them because it normalizes racist behavior, which in turn hurts the economy.

Oreo O’s. Easily the best.

:f

Snow Crash: VR Molly

Helps that it’s outright stated near the beginning of the movie.
