For stoic men (and maybe women, who knows?) Captain Phillips… but not till the end. It sneaks up on you.

“the corporation” is running it now. It’s not about people any more, it’s all procedural and goal oriented operations now.

Thank goodness we won’t have to worry about police brutality at this one!

I read this title as: If chat gpt is trying to kill you, you probably won’t be able to tell it to stop.

“Look buddy, we didn’t drown any slaves, we just threw them overboard all chained together in the open sea, after that what happens to them isn’t our problem”

Same energy.

While doing your research, check out Garuda, it is gaming focused and I have found it extremely user friendly.

I started with Bazzite and moved from there to Garuda. Both have an Nvidia version that just takes care of that for you. I’ve never had to worry about drivers.

The only right answer here is that being in a place where you have to extricate yourself from the situation means you are already deep in dangerous territory. Yes follow everyone else’s advice too, but if at the end of it you haven’t changed your behaviors so you are no longer exposed to this sort of risk, you still have a problem.

Rearrange your life so you aren’t alone with/having conversations with teenage girls. If that’s not possible, make sure you are never alone with them.

I’m surprised an adult hasn’t already heard this girls claim and sent the cops to pay you a visit.

You in danger girl.

Yes. But when you need a transfusion to live it’s still a good deal for you. Besides, you can always just donate blood later to bring your levels back down.

Congress is the legislative branch of the federal government, yes. They make the laws carried out by the executive branch. “Feds” refers to federal employees.

So yeah, members of Congress are feds, though not the ones you are used to seeing at your door.

What do you think Congress does then?

Do you not think the feds could pass a law saying that sellers have to keep a list of everyone who buys guns or ammo?

Honestly, I’m really curious at this point why commenters here are so absolutely convinced that they couldn’t.

If the government wants you to have to show id to buy ammo, it’ll happen.

Unless you are manufacturing your own ammunition, you have to interact with someone the government has leverage over.

All they have to do is grab a copy of the NRA membership roster and mandate that gun stores turn over sales records for purchases of guns or ammunition.

I guarantee they can get you on a list pretty quick if they want to.

Sir, this is a Lemmy.

Helicopters can glide too it’s just a little harder. When a helicopter loses power and needs to glide the first step is to aim it at the ground to pick up speed…

Step 2 is to pray you have the height to pull it off.

And if you forgot to properly sign up for a long distance plan your calls were at “market rate” instead of the very reasonable price of about fifty cents to a dollar a minute.

Why, need a good number to hand out when you aren’t really into someone at the bar and they won’t leave you alone?

Let’s be honest, neither is perfect, but only one party is gutting all the parts of government that actually help anyone.

There’s a difference between being two faced with foreign policy and actively breaking the machinery that let’s your own government function.

I’m on Garuda, every game I have tried has worked great, sometimes I just have to choose a different proton version with an easy pull down menu. The only game I have given up is Destiny 2, because they say they will ban anyone on Linux because of their anti cheat.
