I mean, "Yanks" is right there.

Or "septics", if you wish to be politically correct.

I mean, this is a guy who considers rape the highest compliment he can pay a woman.

Tombstone, 1993.

With the passing of Val Kilmer, I realized I had still never seen it!

Finally realized the source of this meme:

EDIT: sooo many actors I recognized. So many that at the end credits, I counted them all: 23 (inc. Robert MItchum doing the narration.)

I think the only film that might compete on that score is Enemy of the State.

Thanks for those.

But wondering... who is getting my login details when I log in with those front-ends?

They appear to be the same TLD as my home instance (lemmy.ca) but I'm already logged in on lemmy.ca yet not logged in on those front-ends.

Thanks for the info.

No action in two years... :(

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Corn chips crumbling off the shoulder of the numeric keypad. I watched Pornhub beams glitter in the dark near the fingerprint reader. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

'Executed' just two weeks before Flossenbürg prisoners were liberated. Even when they knew they had lost, the Nazis were still determined to keep murdering people.

And now today's Nazis exploit his moral courage to justify their moral turpitude? 😡

Yes, a less awful or even decent US business is better than an awful US business.

Yeah, I too remember there was some anger but not the reason for it. Licensing issues, maybe? Anyway, with the kerfuffle, bloat, and Java requirement, it didn't have enough to keep me from µTorrent.

Also been using qBittorrent for the last few years, on Windows and the last two years on Linux. With search plugins for key sites, so I can avoid the popups that even uBlock Origin can't prevent.

(Due to an unpatched security vulnerability in the repo version of qB, currently using AppImages of latest versions of both qB and qB-enhanced. Only difference I personally notice is that qB-enhanced follows my system theme, dark.)
