How do I quit smoking? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

The patches are good options in my opinion but ultimately I just needed to drop nicotine all together and have the willpower to say no.

Edit: the best piece of advice I can give is you have to be deadly serious about not smoking, anything less than full commitment is a failed attempt.

Black Ops 6 is massively outselling last year's Call of Duty even though it's on Game Pass, which probably tells you how Modern Warfare 3 went in c/games@sh.itjust.works

It's even better if you call it by it's number of release in the whole chronological series, which would make this call of duty 52.

It's funny that it's all about states right to form their own laws until it's about guns.

A tip if you're in the USA, look at the top right of envelope. If it says "presorted standard" it's garbage.

Sure that should always be the case. But this time it wasn't. And because of his actions someone died. As an actor and a producer he should never have even had a chance of firing a live round while they weren't filming, but he did. If the round never hit anybody this would be an entirely different case, unfortunately that's not how it went down.

If it's during a scene, sure let's break those rules. Once everything has been determined safe by everyone involved. Also yes, no matter who it is, I would expect anyone handed a gun to be responsible with the gun. I've never argued that other people aren't responsible as well, just that Alec should be held responsible for his role. Let's not forget that this actor killed someone, and he should face the same consequences that any average person would.

I agree with no live ammo. But it's crazy to me that people hop to his defense when it would taken seconds for him to make sure it wasn't loaded. Regardless of everyone else's job. I know whenever I'm handed a firearm, the first thing I do every time is check if it's loaded.

If by "throwing under the bus" you mean punishing those involved, especially the one that pulled the trigger on a firearm that did not malfunction, then yeah we are. I'll never understand why people defend him so much, he made a huge awful mistake, and just like anyone else he needs to see the consequences.
