Those are NFA items. Each one requires a $200 tax stamp (in addition to the sale price) plus you have to fill out a form and wait for it to be processed. Average times are now around 6 days but it used to be several months on average

If you’re buying from an FFL anywhere in the US you absolutely are getting background checked. FFL’s don’t want to open themselves up to more liability than they need to.

The only way you’re not getting background checked is private sales from your cousin vinney you suspect is in a gang or your redneck uncle Rob.

That being said, background checks are different from waiting periods. They usually only take 5-10 minutes to get approval. You literally just awkwardly stand by the counter and dick around on your phone while you wait

Same. I gave Tunic a fair shot until I had to use a guide to get further due to the devs cheaply hiding a teleport gate in the map. Plus the spirit gauntlet was its own bit of bs

There’s a new person on one of the teams I work with who is really formal in email and messaging, I wonder if this is why

For me, sometimes the solution hits me like a train while I’m taking my morning shower. And I usually am not thinking about code either

We can now make our own Team Fortress 3! With lootboxes blackjack, and bots hookers!

Petulant counterpoint: SteamOS 3.0 is based on Arch and is a good newbie distro

Muskrat grew up as a trust fund baby on money from his dad’s apartheid emerald mines. He’s essentially clueless regarding technical skills and got where he is from just hiring people who knew what they were doing.

Unfortunately there’s been a bunch of propaganda over the years making him out to be some super genius that’s the lead engineer for all of his companies, and he’s since bought into all of it

Or they could be ignorant of history and assume that the UK stole The Falklands from native people simply. I don’t really blame people for that becaise Great Britain did that a lot, they’re just innocent this time around

For those unaware, The Falklands were actually uninhabited by the time Great Britain colonized it. The only recorded settlers of the islands before that was a group of pirates that used them as a base. They ended up disrupting so much shipping that the US navy came in and wiped them out 50-100 years before Great Britain claimed the islands.

Tbf, Argentina started it

Be the change you want to see in the world

Also, don’t just go out in a social setting if you want to meet prospective dates. Go out in a social setting with a healthy amount of people in your dating pool.

I have some social hobbies but they tend to be mostly filled with older people and/or tons of other dudes. Kinda hard to meet a lady my age with that

Sea of Stars added co-op for up to 3 players in a recent update.

Also, Broforce is 1-4 players

Honestly, I think that’s the top reason he went into politics. Narcissists need everyone to pay attention to them

No one should have open source access to destructive tech

I highly disagree, and regardless of my personal opinion this assertion is impossible to enforce anyways. It’s far too easy to create a gun or bomb (i.e. destructive tech) out of common materials and tools you find in a hardware store. Trying to supress any and all destructive would put us back to the stone age

Anyone who asks “why don’t you become a murder hobo if you don’t think there’s a hell?” is probably not a very functional being.

Funnily enough, this plays into a comment I made in a different thread that some people actually do behave like NPC’s

Not really. Most money is actually just numbers on a spreadsheet. This is because loans actually create money in a virtual sense. If you want to reduce the money supply, a better approach is to up interest rates, which encourages people and companies to reduce how many loans they take and pay off the ones they have.

And yes, this is what the Biden administration did to reduce inflation, and it worked. At the start of his term it was over 8%, and at the end it was under 4%.

Unfortunately, people don’t understand that reduced inflation doesn’t mean reduced prices. It just means the prices don’t go up as fast. They also don’t understand that negative inflation, i.e. prices going down, is actually terrible for an economy since everyone is then encouraged to spend as little as possible, reducing cash flow

They’ll take any extra taxes gained and put it into the military budget

Trump is actually trying to cut the military budget too. Which is actually problematic because we have a lot of equipment (particularly aircraft) that is aging out and we already can’t develop and/or manufacture replacements fast enough

While there’s some awesome, creative, and intelligent people out there, I still run into a concerning number of people who do, in fact, act like NPCs

I doubt this. Atheists (myself included) often get the frustrating question of “what stops you from harming people if you don’t believe in Hell?” when people learn about our lack of faith.

Many of them think that promises of reward and punishment are the only thing ensuring that people act morally.

If you’ve ever talked to a religious conservative American, many of them believe that religion, particularly Christianity, has a monopoly of defining what morality is.
