  • "Taking over another sovereign nation was just a ‘special military operation’! It wasn’t a ‘war’ until they started resisting and defending their homes and got assistance from the West! I mean, we all see how that works, right?! They should’ve just laid down and taken the beating, it would’ve avoided this whole thing!

    …also it would be great if people would stop making fun of our military, it’s making recruitment hard. There’s only so many people we can imprison and conscript through Wagner."




  • It’s not that hard, but definitely can be daunting if you’re not too into computers. Really the little RCM jig is just a plastic piece that slides into your right joycon rail and jumps two pins together that basically put it into developer/diagnostic mode. Then you need either a PC, android, or one of the portable payload injectors to get it into the hacked system. From there you can set it up so that it runs a virtual hacked operating system off of an SD card, and you can still boot into the stock firmware without altering your console at all.

    It’s relatively easy if you follow instructions and have an early switch. The later model ones do require you physically solder on a modchip, which I wouldn’t have bothered with if I hadn’t bought one of the early switches.



  • While I do think we need to enact much stricter gun control, people touting this website about “mass shootings” always gives the outside world the idea that all of them on that list are like the Vegas concert shooting, which people think of when they hear the term “mass shooting.”

    From their methodology page on how they characterize a mass shooting-

    In that, the criteria are simple…if four or more people are shot or killed in a single incident, not including the shooter, that incident is categorized as a mass shooting based purely on that numerical threshold.

    If you click through the incidents and read the reports, almost all are isolated incidents. Gang violence, mentally ill people murdering their family and committing suicide, other terrible things like that. Which is tragic and very much strengthens the argument about needing stricter gun control. But people keep linking that page, people go there and see a wall of reports, and assume all of them are crazed gunmen firing indiscriminately into a crowd at a shopping mall or the like. It’s not like that at all, but curating the data with their methodology and saying the details don’t matter and all mass shootings are the same as long as 4 people are injured just paints a disengenuous picture to people who don’t live here. I’ve seen plenty of people that post they refuse to visit the US because they think they’ll be randomly shot for no reason while walking down the street, which isn’t at all a normal occurance. Sadly I’m more afraid that if a cop wants to stop and talk to me that I’ll get shot much more than I am going to a festival.
