I completely forgot about the Kelvin Klingons.

I had to Google it. They’re not bad. I think there’s some fun to be had with the idea of their weird virus that messed with their ridges.

Like disco Klingons are the original pre-virus Klingon, ToS and Kelvin are some of the variants we get during the virus, and TNG is the Post virus

Shit they weren’t merged?

I could have sworn this already happened

What’s happening in Ukraine sucks

That doesn’t contradict the sentiment that borders are generally arbitrary lines designed to divide us.

Using a Russian sure to get free books doesn’t hurt Ukraine unless these are all like infected with Russian turbo malware or something

Before ever game of classical chess I play over the board I coat my opponents pieces in DMT.

Eventually it gets absorbs through their skin and I can convince them it’s all a nightmare that only ends if they resign.

I call it the MK Ultra gambit

BBC from a distant corner!

Oh no the white queen is getting blacked!

He brought a CUCK CHAIR it’s over folks!

Europe is an amazing place.

Imagine living in a bedroom fit for a king

Yet playing on the world’s first “Flat screen” monitor that your grandma gave you.

Such a beautiful place.

Only 200? I see you are improving

Chat is this real? (I won’t download X you can’t make me)

Enough that there’s a serious spike in VPN sales during the porn age restriction wave.

I doubt NordVPN and friends would see that if EVERY single lemmy instance got banned.

Texas wants what the EU and California have so bad.

The best punishment is undoing their damage and teaching their sins to future generations as a warning.

And using their Graves as a gender neutral bathroom when we wanna scratch the sadistic justice itch

I prefer

“Do no harm. Take no shit.”

Beautiful redundancy. My one true love

Me too, comrade.

This is something I also struggle with. So much of the lefty philosophy is around acknowledging and respecting everyone as intrinsically human with a life worth preserving. Often I have a hard time hating the average Trump supporter or fascist shill because I know there’s a million factors out of their control that got them there.

I have to remind myself constantly that my life is worth more than someone’s who’s chosen to harm another.

Guns aren’t for everyone and I understand that. I don’t think I could ever become a partisan in a revolution but I don’t intend to be a statistic. If you do choose to have a weapon for self defense please at least train with it. Even pepper spray you can get refillable water squirting versions.

If you do want to try guns one day, I’d suggest a Pistol Caliber Carbine like the Ruger PCC. It shoots pistol rounds out of a carbine/rifle so it’s much easier to control. The rifle in this picture is a KP-9.

Did I mess something up? I’ve never posted to lemmy before.

Point taken. I agree with you. I’ve always agreed with those facts.

But there’s an armed an increasingly well trained and organized movement of would be brown shirts. They’ve repeatedly shown their willingness to escalate violence at protests and threaten violence towards LGBT events. They’ve demonstrated a willingness to act on the federal government with violence. And huge swathsof that population are police.

They have guns. I’m in a queer relationship. I’m a target. I have guns.

$1000-$1100 is still a lot to ask of me specifically, but that is closer to market IMHO

I haven’t had a prime sub in 5 years. It’s not been worth it in a while.

What good is the convenience of having everything on the same website if I have to determine if it’s fake or not?

I don’t really care unless it has the same price point as the 8gb one.

But we all know it won’t be.
