It is controlled, in most places it’s restricted for people under 18 or 21 depending. It isn’t just liquid tobacco, it’s the nicotine extracted from tobacco (or sweet potatoes) suspended in a solution with food grade vegetable glycerine or food grade propylene glycol. Tobacco has tar and is worse.

Some of it isn’t even that either, some of it is weed (that idk how they process).

Sometimes people can get things illegally. I enjoy weed which is illegal in my state and drank alcohol before I was 21. Other friends I know have done heroin in the past which is certainly illegal.

It’s popular for the same reason other drugs are, people like drugs.

I mean I’ll probably never get over there, but I’d love to visit Carentan (because WWII…well COD2…I loved that map lol) and Suave (because R. Crumb lives there.)

Psylocke sounds really close to uhh…something.

I really hope the character isn’t Jewish lol.

Edit: Damn alright fine lol, let him be a Jewish superhero named something two letters off from a Jewish slur, I didn’t realize that’d be so popular around here.

What's was your favourite fast food product that unfortunately got retired and never came back?

Here, for a while at McDonald’s there was a 🍔 called “the 1955” and it was the best, big pieces of onion, an special sauce, buns and big piece of beef with bacon (for Europe standards anyways) it disappeared once and came back for an encore only to be removed again and never return.

ArcaneSlime ,

Taco Bell’s Volcano Taco. They brought it back for like a month and took it away again. Technically it’s still available in Kuwait but I can’t get anyone to mail me a bag of the sauce.

Namibian court declares laws banning gay sex unconstitutional | Africanews (www.africanews.com)

Rights activists have noted that, although prosecutions under the “sodomy” and “unnatural sexual offences” laws were infrequent, these laws have fostered ongoing discrimination against the LGBTQ community and instilled fear of arrest among gay men....

Ugandans are wild with it lol.

ArcaneSlime ,

Honestly I’m gonna be real, idk much about Uganda. Basically I only know these two videos lol.

ArcaneSlime ,

Soft shell tacos are my favorite. Hard shell is ok but there’s nothing like a double wrapped soft taco.

Oh and I just use bash.

“Defend yourself” by chasing a fleeing guy?

Hate to break it to you bud but that doesn’t fit the legal definition of self defense anywhere in America.

In some states you aren’t required to retreat yourself if you have the legal right to be where you are when you’re attacked (this is called “stand your ground” laws). However if the attacker starts fleeing and you pursue you are not allowed to chase them and finish the job. Even if they break into your house, if you surprise them and they run out before they get shot you aren’t allowed to wing shots wildly at them down the street. If you see someone murder someone and run away, it is illegal for you to chase and kill them, you’re required to let the police take over from there.

Rittenhouse however did attempt to retreat from Rosenbaum who was chasing him and threatening to kill him, until he was cornered and had to shoot Rosenbaum when he reached for the gun. After that, the crowd shouted “he just shot that dude, get him” and surprise, he started running away from the mob of people. Then the dude with a rock took him down, he rolled over, missed jump kick man, then Huber hit him with the trucks and tried to take his gun, which Rittenhouse defended again, then Grosskreutz came and faked surrender before pulling out a gun he wasn’t legally allowed to have and Rittenhouse defended again.

At every point, Rittenhouse attempted retreat from those who were attacking him. Vigilante mob justice is super cool or whatever but it is illegal, the crowd had no legal right to “chase a fleeing felon” just as CCW holders don’t have that right. Thankfully.

Actually we have a pretty clear course of events from earlier in the night that helps paint a picture of why it started, though with Rosenbaum dead we can never “know,” we at least have some clues. Kyle was dressed similarly to another dude who put out Rosenbaum’s dumpster fire at the gas station from the “Shoot me N-word” video (the difference being that dude had a plate carrier while kyle did not). Rosenbaum and his friend Ziminski continued to start fires throughout the night, and at one point Kyle runs by alone. Rosenbaum then steps from behind the car he was hiding behind (as seen on the FBI drone footage) and initiates the chase screaming “I’m going to kill you.” Kyle gets cornered as Rosenbaum grabs for it, shoots Rosenbaum, hears “get him” and starts running towards police, gets hit with a rock and downed, misses jump kick man, gets hit with a skateboard and Huber tries to take his gun and gets shot, then Grosskreutz’s fake surrender.

Seems to indicate to me that it was started by Rosenbaum mistaking his identity and thinking he was the guy with the fire extinguisher from earlier.

ArcaneSlime ,

Heads up, clubs, maces, and melee weapons are all classified as deadly weapons by the US gov because it is easy to kill people with them. Take a CCW class (you’re not obligated to actually go through with getting the permit by just taking the class), it teaches you the laws regarding self defense in your area, including things like “blunt objects, knives, and significant disparity of force (like say 3 v 1), are all considered “deadly threats” and you’re allowed to defend yourself with equal opposing force (which is to say “deadly force.”)”

ArcaneSlime ,

The problem comes in with

All of the threats that Kyle encountered was in response to the fact that he was playing Timmy Toughguy and actively strolling around with a gun…

Perhaps this may surprise you, but you are not legally justified in trying to kill someone just because they have a gun. Also not allowed to kill someone who has just legally defended themselves in a deadly force encounter, that is for the court system to decide. It is legal to get involved in third party encounters, however you best be sure you’re not helping the side that will later be declared the aggressor in court and so it is generally seen as very risky to do.

If at any point he ran - and kept running, or dropped the gun and ran, fully retreating from the crowd I doubt he would have been chased too far and the need to shoot would have been eliminated

Ok at this point it may behoove you to actually look at at least the videos of the incident if not the whole trial which was streamed. He did run. He walked by a car, Rosenbaum popped out screaming “I’m going to kill you,” Kyle runs, chase ensues, Kyle gets cornered and turns around to find Rosenbaum reaching for the gun, Kyle shoots Rosenbaum 4x, makes a phone call, the crowd yells “he just shot that dude, get him,” Kyle starts running again, unknown man hits him with a rock in the back of the head which downs Kyle, Kyle rolls over and misses Jump Kick Man, then another dude walks up but surrenders when Kyle points his rifle (but didn’t fire), then Huber hits him with a skateboard and gets shot attempting to take Kyle’s rifle, then Grosskreutz feigns surrender and pulls out a gun he wasn’t legally allowed to own pointing it at Kyle, Kyle shoots, Gabe backs off, Kyle gets up and goes to the line of police cars right up the road who give him a bottle of water and tell him to go home, he turns himself in the next day.

Again, you can’t “disarm someone” who is legally carrying a gun, that is illegal to do and constitutes a deadly threat, and if he shoots you for trying he will get off.

But he didn’t retreat as he was being threatened -

But he did, at every opportunity and by all definitions he retreated until he was cornered and then again until he was downed by a rock to the back of his head.

“The aggressor” isn’t whoever you decide, it’s the guy screaming “I’m going to fucking kill you” while chasing you through a parking lot.

ArcaneSlime ,

And I don’t like Taylor Swift but there’s not shit I can do except not listen to the radio. Can’t attack everyone who plays “she wears short skirts.”

People have a legal right to do legal things whether or not you like it and trying to stop them using physical violence makes you the aggressor both legally and morally.

ArcaneSlime ,

Oh so “wandering alone” is it? You gonna tell a lady that “wandering alone” is what caused her rape?

Fortunately, people aren’t legally justified in attacking “alone” people for being alone.

ArcaneSlime ,

Don’t forget in the dumpster fire video (which btw, Kyle wasn’t even the dude who put out the fire, but they were both wearing OD green shirts and jeans. The dude who put out the fire had a plate carrier and a different face, but close enough that I think Rosenbaum mistook Kyle for that guy). After that Kyle lookalike puts out his fire Rosenbaum gets in his face screaming “shoot me N-word” (I censored it, Rosenbaum had a pass I guess because nobody cares he said it.)

ArcaneSlime ,

Tbf, he likely has a “rest of his life” because he did. All in all I’d say that’s better than dead.

ArcaneSlime ,

Interesting definition of party, I guess.

ArcaneSlime ,

Ah so he should not have been out alone at night in that short skirt, I understand now, he was asking for it! He actually liked it anyway, I could tell, walking around alone like a slut like that just begging to get his gun taken, how could Rosenbaum resist?

ArcaneSlime ,

Tbf everyone there was violating curfew. The only one who arguably had a legitimate reason was Rosenbaum, being let out of a mental facility after threatening suicide for being caught touching his GF’s underage son, because the hospital decided to discharge him right into an active riot. One could also argue that none of this would have happened without that, and also none of this would have happened if Rosenbaum hadn’t tried to kill anyone, and that this wouldn’t have happened had the police not shot Jacob Blake for kidnapping kids while armed with a knife, and that this would never have happened had Blake simply not kidnapped any kids or had a knife.

We could play this game all day, frankly. I lean more towards “Rosenbaum shouldn’t have attacked him screaming I’m going to fucking kill you and this never would have happened,” personally.

ArcaneSlime ,

Tbf, maybe we shouldn’t vilify them because of the actions of their son/brother so bad that they can’t be employed. I don’t hire people but the only reason not to would be the negative publicity from hiring them from people like those in this thread, I doubt if you gave his mom a job she’ll show up and shoot someone every morning.

ArcaneSlime ,

The only thing that would worry me is that he doesn’t have to love the FSB (used to be KGB), he just has to love not being thrown out of a window enough to comply with whatever they may wish, like oh say a Russian state owned Trojan not being detected by it or something. Not that they’re definitely doing that, but the possibility isn’t 0%.

I mean it’s basically the same reason I don’t trust much of the US based proprietary software, just %s/FSB/CIA/g, the only real reason to trust one over the other is if you trust either agency more than the other IMO, otherwise distrust both.

ArcaneSlime ,

Horseshoes.

ArcaneSlime ,

Sounds like the head office is in SE London but you’ll be inspecting areas on the NW side for fire safety adherence, right?

If so, it isn’t like the businesses can bring their whole business down to the office for inspection. I bet “Steve” has the area close to the office but “Jane” just quit and they need someone to cover her old area.

ArcaneSlime ,

Sure, but then you’re not looking for jobs like “Fire Risk Assessor” which clearly indicates you’ll have to travel to sites and Assess their Risk of Fire on site, so you could safely scroll past something like that and look for something like “Remote Computer Doer” that at least indicates it’s probably remote computer type stuff.

ArcaneSlime ,

But…it says “august 2017-present” on the screenshot I’m looking at? Right? Also, isn’t July 2024 like, next month?

Can someone explain me USA obsession with prom and similar school rituals?

I just don’t get it… Why is that important, especially for kids now, that feel like they need to do a YouTube video asking for a date or doing some meme stuff. Some teens even hire the hottest celebrity or ask them to appear in their prom? This is so bizarre for me, all that just for a frivolous night....

ArcaneSlime ,

Tbf, being a melting pot also means all those cultures impact and influence “ours.” Plenty of Americans have bat mitzvahs, for instance, of course they’d be particularly the ones that are Jewish, but plenty of Americans also observe Ramadan. We have a lack of cohesive culture because we’re not just one cohesive “people,” yet we all are under the banner of “American.”

Our country is a melting pot, and so “our culture” is too, made up of pieces immigrants have brought with them from everywhere in the world. I think it’s pretty cool, personally.

ArcaneSlime , (edited )

You have fun with all that! I otoh am going to eat shwarma, then hit the mexican ice cream truck for dessert. Maybe watch some anime after that with my friend from Prague.

ArcaneSlime ,

Yes yes I’m a fascist because I was born in a place you don’t like and appreciate the cultures others have decided to share with us. Does it get tiring, being a contrarian just for the sake of it?

ArcaneSlime ,

Ah I misunderstood, my mistake.

ArcaneSlime ,

That’s what palemoon is for. It wouldn’t be my first choice, but if you don’t have the RAM to run crysis librewolf on high it’ll work.

Prosecutors say Alec Baldwin was ‘engaged in horseplay’ with gun before fatal shooting (www.theguardian.com)

Fewer than three weeks before actor Alec Baldwin is due to go on trial in Santa Fe, New Mexico, prosecutors have said that he “engaged in horseplay with the revolver”, including firing a blank round at a crew member on the set of Rust before the tragic accident occurred....

ArcaneSlime ,

Iirc hadn’t the staff responsible for that walked off the set three days earlier because of gross negligence (including two previous on set negligent discharges without injury) after the producer, Alec Baldwin, refused to heed their safety warnings?

ArcaneSlime ,

The colt SAA and other old revolvers’ firing pin was attached to the hammer (at least most of the newer repros have updated that part for safety). That is why they used to carry them on an empty chamber, because otherwise your firing pin would just be resting on the primer and could very easily go off if bumped. If using a repro you could similarly just remove the firing pin, if using an original (just don’t do that, because what I’m about to say is an affront to history, but) you could grind that pin down enough that it’d never make contact with the primer again. Shudder.

ArcaneSlime ,

Downvoted but correct.

Here’s the first link I’ve found explaining the concept of recoil, and the section relating to blanks and the fact that since bullet weight is a major factor blanks have virtually no recoil conveniently uses movies to illustrate that point.

ArcaneSlime ,

I’ve been complaining about this for years now.

ArcaneSlime ,

You’re welcome!

Well they might have to if he got it pregnant.

The ham on pizza is sweet though, imo not a good match. My preference is pineapple, pepperoni (or chicken), and jalapenos. Get spicy, sweet, and salty all on one slice, ето заебись.

Female foragers sometimes hunt, yet gendered divisions of labor are real: a comment on Anderson et al. (2023) The Myth of Man the Hunter (www.sciencedirect.com)

Tl;dr an undergraduate paper last year claiming females hunt just as often as males got picked up by the media and amplified before it was discovered their analysis was deeply flawed and unreliable. Here several anthropologists present a very gracious rebuttal.

ArcaneSlime , (edited )

Odd question, but I noticed the use of “Females” here for which people are often derided because female is supposed to not be used for human women but rather only animal women.

This begs the question: Where do we consider Neanderthals (or whichever pre homo-sapien group is referenced by this timetable) on the “human” scale? Are they human enough that you “should have” said “males and women” to refer to them politically correctly, or are they far enough removed from homo-sapiens not to be considered “human” in this consideration?

I realize this hypothetical is sort of jumping the shark because I doubt neanderthal women are around in large enough numbers to be offended online about it, but it did make me think, which I find fun to do.

ArcaneSlime ,

Oh for sure, I wasn’t trying to like come at you or anything, I understand the context because of the rest of your post and it’s very clear you weren’t being “bad” or whatever. It just got my brain spinning.

ArcaneSlime ,

Yeah but you’re not paid to restock your house for 8h a day lol.

You’d have to be in the factory, they’re sold fully cooked in the refrigerated section.

Cold: Fine

Uncooked: You’re going to die and also where’d you find that?

ArcaneSlime ,

Dude this legit might be the coolest active flag in the world. Is it appropriation if I wear a shirt with it on it?

ArcaneSlime ,

Hell yeah it is!

ArcaneSlime ,

Well you don’t know me so that still applies, but I like anime though I’m picky about it and don’t like hentai. Actually one of my nitpicks is “I don’t like anime that is too horny, usually.” I do like Golden Boy but that’s different lol, same for FLCL. I can also do the occasional horn, like Dragon Ball/DBZ, or like Faye Valentine in Bebop, but those harem animes or ones that rely solely on fan service just aren’t for me.

ArcaneSlime ,

Is this a new Shaye St. John video?
