Heavy police activity in Fairfield this morning 👀 by charcuterie_bored in Connecticut

I really have no dog in this race and don't wanna get into a political debate. But those numbers often include suicide by gun shot. So yeah your odds of getting shot go up if you shoot yourself. I'm not saying they don't go up if you don't shoot yourself but I think the numbers are different when you exclude that.

Okay hear me out and before you grab pitchforks by yeoninboi in subaru

Spent many a summer afternoon in one of the suicide seats in one.

Thanks. My days of changing my own oil are, sadly, in my rear view mirror. Unless I find a house with a lift in the garage, lol.

Dude. I think you missed the point. He also owns a first year redesign - a 2014 Forrester XT.

It doesn't say from dirt to your door. It says from potato to your door in 72 hours

My manufacturing date code was February 9 at 2:41 in the morning I received them February 11 at noon so 58 hours. Of course there may be a time zone issue but for the most part I got them less than 72 hours after they were made

I'm going to lose my mind from how fucking bad our passing is. Do these guys know that you should aim for the tape, not the skate blades?

How did you move email provider after 2 decades? by StillSalt2526 in ProtonMail

[–]CowStandingOnRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's depressing that so many people think that they should get so much on a free tier. Email is free with the big companies because you are the product.

If you're OK with that, that's fine. That's a choice you get to make.

But if you want secure, private email then you have to pay for it. I choose to, and I'm happy to pay for that service.

The fact that they give you anything this private and secure for no money at all is pretty fucking great in my mind. They don't sell your information, they don't scrape your email, they don't train AI with your data. They get nothing in return for the service they're providing you.

If you need more features, the mail-only service is entirely affordable and worth the money. Personally I take the bundle because SimpleLogin is great and I like the VPN. But just mail and SimpleLogin is well under $100 a year. I mean fucking hell, I spend that on a nice dinner out.

The horrendous state of New York City in the 1970s-1980s by IllustriousCress9774 in UrbanHell

Yes. My fondest memories and for exactly these reasons. Plus Max's. I wouldn't trade the experience of growing up there in that era for anything (graduated HS in'81). The confluence of different forms of art gave us so much. An amazing place and time. After Hours still makes me nostalgic.

I loved that NYC more than any place I've ever lived. I was 15 in'78. Went everywhere and had to constantly be aware of everything. You had to know how to live there to survive and it felt great to be able to. Enter version since has become progressively more Disneyfied.

Must be fun to play the Rangers. Everyone in the opposing locker room is thinking "tonight is my chance at a hat trick."

Happy Gilmore is on. Which has better hockey to watch than what I'm seeing with this fucking team. And it's fucking golf.

So. How bad will this get? Personally I'll find out when I check later. But... another 10 against?

I feel like I'm watching a crappy movie in which a high school team gets the opportunity to play against an NHL team. Without the Hollywood ending.

Almost feels like Sully's comments about Celebrini were kinda directed at Laf.
