So, I blocked the instance about a week ago, I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
I only wonder how the people/government of Mali feel about them using their country's top-level domain for.... Whatever it is they're using it for.
I dunno enough about Mali to really say, but I'm pretty sure that Lemmy.ml has nothing to do with that country... For them the ML means.... Something else entirely.
Ipmi is your friend.
Is that the same database my user couldn't connect to today?
There's always backups... Right?
.... Right?
I'm not going to disagree with you. I just want to point out that if they manage to get their offspring infected when they also contract something... They have a chance of winning a Darwin award...
I'm not saying any of that is a good thing.
I agree with the idea of bodily autonomy. Above all, someone should have the right to do, or not do, whatever they want with their own person.
Whether that is to listen to doctors advice, buy pharmaceuticals and self-administer as prescribed, or even end your own life, and everything in between.
Quick disclaimer, suicide should still be evaluated by a psychiatric professional, and simply being suicidal shouldn't necessarily mean that nobody can, or should stop you from committing that act. I'm mostly referring to medically assisted self termination, after the appropriate safeguards, checks, and balances have been cleared. Simply wanting to off yourself without being cleared as having sound mind should be something we, as a society, should address carefully, with the assistance of mental health professionals.
With all that being said: I probably would DIY some pharmaceuticals. Anything that's an opiate or other restricted substance, definitely not. But if I can buy the ingredients without needing a special permit or license, I definitely would.
I try to avoid banks. They generally don't make my life easier.
Edit: I'll add that, if tellers direct everyone to the ATM, so much so that the ATM is the only thing people use, then tellers won't be needed anymore. Thus unemployed.
Short story: when I was working grocery, at the tail end of my tenure was the start of the self-service checkout. The boss wanted us to encourage people to use self service checkouts. Nobody did, for obvious reasons.
Definitely menus.
Most of the run/gun aspects are very similar regardless of which Borderlands game you're playing.
BL3 was by far the best for menus. Not perfect, but a lot less cumbersome than the previous games.
I want to go back and play through the whole series again, but the nuances of the older games that were fixed in the more recent games always throws me.
I play on PC and it's very very obvious that kb/mouse was an afterthought for some of the games.... I just hate doing fps with a joystick/thumbstick.
Either way, I've redeemed this for all of my copies of Borderlands. So the next time I log in, I should have golden keys for days.
The movie, that came out like, a month ago?
I was always planning to watch it when it went to streaming/home video kind of release. I rarely go to the theatre anymore.
I'm also waiting on the same for the new Deadpool + Wolverine movie....
Considering the little I've heard about it so far (trying to avoid spoilers), it seems like I should skip the Borderlands movie, but I'll probably still watch it.
Who dreams this up?
Nobody. Nobody dreamt it up. They are just remembering the hard reality of the early 90's and the before times.
You know, before everyone was connected and online 24/7/365. Before "online" meant anything.
When you left your 9-5 job, drove home listening to the radio, because you didn't have anything else to listen to, and got home to dinner on the table because you didn't need your spouse to work for a living to make ends meet, in your home that you were able to purchase, and food that wasn't largely artificial.
The phone would ring during dinner, and it would just keep ringing, because you're spending time eating with your family. There was no answering machine, so it would just ring and ring.
And if nobody ever answered it, they couldn't tell you to get back to the office because some emergency happened.
Maybe you went to the park, maybe you were out to dinner with the Mrs... Maybe you just didn't care enough to pick up the phone. Anything could have happened.
Unlike today, where we're bombarded by marketing and notifications constantly. All of which are demanding that you address them ASAP. Everything is an emergency, so put down your "three ingredients away from plastic" dinner, and pick up your master, and obey.
I am all out of bubble gum.
I've seriously considered buying MREs because I can't be bothered to meal prep.
