  • If you were forced to play one professional sport as your job until you were 65, which would you pick?

    Jump

  • Curling.

  • Why do you need, want and/or have a gun/guns?

    Jump

  • You can be pro gun control and still own a gun.

    I think we can all agree, people with felony convictions shouldn't be allowed to own a gun for example.

  • Why do you need, want and/or have a gun/guns?

    Jump

  • That's the way I explain it to people who don't get guns.

    You can't get by with ONE screwdriver or one wrench. Different size jobs require different sized solutions.

    A shotgun is not for concealed carry, it just isn't.

    At the same time, if some crackhead is beating on your front door at 3AM, the .380 concealed carry will not bother them.

    Multiple people doing a home invasion? Again, different tools.

  • If you care, then I guess you'll just have to keep giving Microsoft your money and data.

    Jump

  • A) to see if it could be done.

    B) I wanted to see if/how Destiny 2 runs on Steam Deck and it requires Windows. Running it in a compatability later gets you banned.

  • That 100% makes sense!

    Jump

  • I can dual boot my Steam Deck with an external Windows 11 SSD. I expect I can do the same with the Steam Machine.

  • Why do you need, want and/or have a gun/guns?

    Jump

  • I lived in an unsafe neighborhood, lots of drug deals, pit bulls running loose, etc. That was when I bought my first gun.

    After my grandfather and father passed away, I ended up inheriting their guns.

    Then you start looking at it in terms of a tool chest, all these guns, anything missing?

    Somehow my dad and grand-dad never owned a shotgun, so I picked up a 12 gauge.

    Dad left me this little derringer, which is adorable but functionally useless:

    But I liked the idea of it so I bought a Bond Arms Ranger II:

    So I went from being a knife guy, to buying a gun, to owning something like 14 guns now? 🤔

  • If Australia is the biggest exporter of boomerangs, who's the biggest importer?

    Jump

  • It's defective, they'll issue an RMA, just be sure to return the old one or they will bill you for it.

  • If Australia is the biggest exporter of boomerangs, who's the biggest importer?

    Jump

  • I used to have another great boomerang joke, I can't remember it now, but I'm sure it will come back to me shortly.

  • What super powers when used together create an infinite glitch?

    Jump

  • The last run of X-Men before the current run, they discovered 5 mutants working together enabled immortality through resurrection protocols.

    Your brain is backed up to the cloud and downloaded to a cloned body on death.

    https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Resurrection_Protocols

    "Egg produces a number of nonviable biological "eggs," equal to the number of mutants the Five have to resurrect.

    The eggs are then injected with mutant DNA from Mister Sinister's genetic catalogue, and then made viable thanks to Proteus' reality-altering powers.

    Elixir biologically gives the eggs life starting a new cellular replication process and husk growth

    Tempus uses her time manipulation powers to quickly age the mutant husks.

    Hope Summers uses her powers to enhance everyone else's abilities. Hope's powers allow the Five to operate at both their peak and in unison.

    A telepath then copies over the mutant's consciousness, recorded by Cerebro, from a copy made at the time of their deaths, onto the husk.

    Through this process, the Five are effectively able to make new clones of deceased mutants, restoring their bodies, their powers, and their minds as they were at the time of their deaths."

  • How far back in time could you go with your skills?

    Jump

  • I'd have to re-remember a lot of stuff I've forgotten, but late 70s, early 80s.

    Unless you count "typing" as a marketable skill, then I could probably go back to 1872?

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I mean it's still DOABLE. I put $30,000 down on a $390,000 house. 7.7%. 😉

    Jump

  • You're off by a decimal. 20,000 is 1% of 2,000,000.

    For a 10% down it either needs to be a 200,000 house, or a 200,000 down on a 2 mil. house.

  • Should bots get reported?

    Jump

  • When you make a report, it goes to the mods of that community, but it also goes to the Admins of their home instance.

    Generally, people take a dim view of AI content and remove it once it's apparent.

    Yes, I'd say report it when you see it. If you see something, say something.

    InfiniteBagel already got banned for this, so at a minimum, Bagel is ban evading. Same for CosmicWaffle or whatever the other one was.

    Why do people blame the government but not themselves?

  • It's fascinating when you look at Congressional approval rates.

    Almost universally, people disapprove of "Congress":

    https://news.gallup.com/poll/1600/congress-public.aspx

    Do you approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job?

    2019 Feb 1-10Approve: 21Disapprove: 76No opinion: 3

    Do you approve or disapprove of the way the Republicans in Congress are handling their job?

    2019 Jan 21-27Approve: 31Disapprove: 65No opinion: 4

    Do you approve or disapprove of the way the Democrats in Congress are handling their job?

    2019 Jan 21-27Approve: 38Disapprove: 57No opinion: 4

    But when it comes to THEIR OWN congressman?

    Yeah... (same link)

    Do you approve or disapprove of the way the representative from your congressional district is handling his or her job?

    2019 Jan 21-27Approve: 53Disapprove: 35No opinion: 12

    TBH, I'm equally guilty of this... Congress is a shit show.

    MY Congresswoman? +1. No notes.

  • Have you ever either taken part in or been targeted by an internet hate mob? For what reasons and what happened after?

    Jump

  • When I was first made a mod 2 years ago I banned a troll for bad behavior.

    Since then they have created HUNDREDS of Lemmy accounts specifically attacking me.

    We had to come up with new rules and bots to deal with their fragile psyche.
