Mary's horrendous and shameful fate without George Bailey.

George:Clarence, where's Mary?

Clarence:"She's just about to close up the library!!!"

Watching this scene as an adult and laughing my ass off every time has become one of my favorite holiday traditions.

Honestly imagine being Mary and just trying to leave work after a long day, when this weird shit happens.

Mary it's George! Don't you know me?!

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Guides Building of Nuclear-powered Strategic Guided Missile Submarine

Pyongyang, December 25 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, guided the building of an 8 700-tonnage nuclear-powered strategic guided missile submarine on the spot.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was accompanied by leading officials in the sectors of the warship-building industry and the defence science research and production.

Kim Jong Un went round the site of building the nuclear-powered submarine and received a report on its progress.

Workers, scientists and technicians in the warship-building field, all out in the glorious struggle for implementing the WPK's policy of modernizing the navy, are pushing ahead with the building of a strategic nuclear attack submarine, one of the five-point major tasks for developing the defence capabilities set forth at the 8th Congress of the WPK, by fully displaying the great power of self-reliance and inexhaustible patriotic enthusiasm.

Kim Jong Un stressed once again the importance and significance of building a strategic nuclear attack submarine in carrying out the self-reliant defence policy of the WPK and the government of the DPRK.

Noting that our defence policy is literally a defensive policy based on the strongest offensive power, he said that to this end, we regard the super-powerful offensive capability as the best shield for national security in developing the armed forces.

Saying that it is the noble mission and duty of the current generation to further strengthen the nuclear shield that represents the prestige and honour of the DPRK and absolutely guarantees its security and to consolidate the irreversible position, he stressed that the WPK and the government of the DPRK will remain unchanged in their determination to permanently ensure the peaceful environment and absolute security of the country by composing the nuclear forces that the enemy can't help fearing.

We have built in every way the nuclear shield capable of reliably defending our national security and secured the capability for expanding it to the extent necessary for ensuring the national security environment, he said, adding that the completion of a new nuclear submarine will serve as an epoch-making crucial change that further assures ourselves and even the enemy of the war deterrent level the DPRK has reached. He clarified the steadfast will and the strategic and tactical policy to steadily push forward with the nuclear weaponization of the navy.

The Party Central Committee is pleased to see the warship-building sector achieving signal production successes, true to the WPK's line of building up the naval force in the new century, he said, adding that the strategic nuclear attack submarine to be considered as an important component of the nuclear war deterrent will constitute the greatest immortal feats of the working class, defence scientists and technicians, the driving force of the DPRK, for the times and history.

He affirmed that the present world is by no means peaceful and such situation and the prospective threats to be posed highlight undoubtedly the decision made by the DPRK with regard to the future security of the country as the most just option and the manifestation of its will to safeguard its sovereignty and interests in a responsible manner.

Saying that the nuclear submarine development plan of the ROK, which Washington has agreed on at the solicitation of Seoul recently, will worsen the instability in the region of the Korean peninsula, he stressed that the DPRK regards it as an offensive act severely violating its security and maritime sovereignty and a threat to its security that must be countered.

Given the negative security situation that has come as present reality only, it is an urgent task and indispensable option to further accelerate the radical development of the modernization and nuclear weaponization of the naval force of the DPRK, he said.

Attack destroyers and nuclear submarines recently under construction will make a leap forward in bolstering up the combat capabilities of our fleets and contribute to defending the strategic sovereignty and security of our country, he said, adding that the DPRK will develop the navy and its strategic components in a constant and diverse way, steadily increase and expand the speed and scale of building various surface and underwater warships and continuously equip them with different offensive weapon systems.

Noting that the WPK and the DPRK government will stay definitely unchanged in their national security policy and their principle of deterring the enemy, he said it is needed to make the enemy understand with no doubt that they will be surely forced to pay a dear price when they violate the security of the DPRK's strategic sovereignty and that they will face a merciless retaliatory attack if they try to select a military option. The DPRK will continue to show such capabilities and this goes just as the responsible exercise of the true nuclear war deterrent and a reliable shield for defending sovereignty, he added.

That day, he learned in detail about the on-going research on the new underwater secret weapons under development and clarified a strategic plan for reorganizing the naval forces and establishing new units. -0-

When I first new about lemmy, lemm.ee was among the biggest and I created an account on it but didn't use it much and didn't knew that the instance was deleted until recently. So help me understand where content is stored:

Got it — here’s a shorter, more casual version that still asks the important things:

• When a post is created, is it only stored on the original instance, or copied to every other one?

• Do all federated servers get a copy, or get posts from other server when user demands them?

• When an instance shuts down, is its content gone forever, or do other instances keep copies?

• If the original server is gone, what happens to edits or deletions?

• Is there any kind of “shared” storage in the Fediverse, or network that store everything?

• Could one still access all lemm.ee content now? Or post in it's communities?

Been in kind of a slump lately, remembered a friend recommending Drova awhile back. Had apparently marked it ignore at some point, as at first looks it does come off as a kind of generic action-rpg.

start up game, mess around, start pilfering everything not nailed down as one does...find set of clothes to replace my starting rags...talk to the guy i stole em from while wearing the and he stops me "...wtf dude, those are my clothes. give them back".

quest to escort some to another location? got distracted by a wandering cat and ran off...came back after short fight and that escortee won't talk to me anymore "fuck off, you abandoned me"

little things like this repeated over and over again, very reactice rpg.

Trump said early Wednesday that TV broadcast licenses should be revoked if newscasts and late-night shows are almost entirely negative about him and the GOP.

"If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Negative to President Donald J. Trump, MAGA, and the Republican Party, shouldn't their very valuable Broadcast Licenses be terminated? I say, YES!" Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social in the wee hours of the morning.

The post came minutes after the president criticized "The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert, calling him a "pathetic trainwreck, with no talent or anything else necessary for show business success." The show is set to end in May 2026.

Im not sure if this post matters but im bored.

Ive debated on making stickers or candles just to learn something but im unsure as i dont have a use for them afterwards, havent tried it yet because i overthink.

Should i go with one of the crafts i suggest or is there something more suited for men out there, maybe bread making?
