Problem is that most of your anti-gun folk aren’t crazy, or don’t want to appear as such, and so they placate the defenders of gun rights with phrases resembling “I believe we should be able to have handguns because self defense buuuuuut nobody should have semi auto rifles.” Of course, the second they do ban long guns (curbing a total of 500/60,000 gun deaths a year mind you), they’ll switch to “oh well clearly that didn’t work so now we’re taking the handguns too.” It’s literally by design, simply a tactic to fool those who won’t bother looking into that whole “only 500 killed with long guns/yr” stat, nor the fact that 5.56 only delivers about as much energy as a hot .357mag rnd, but the Barrett .50BMG which is bolt action and therefore totally fine delivers about 10,000 more ft-lbs of energy, etc.

Besides that, the 2a protects things “in common use” according to Heller and “must have a historical precedent for bans,” according to Bruen therefore handguns do fall quite under the scope of the 2a and a ban would be ruled unconstitutional immediately.

Besides that, self defense is important, and unless you suggest people start open carrying ARs, the best way to do it is to CCW a compact 9mm handgun.

Furthermore “guns shouldn’t be for the poor” would help to curb crime, but at what cost? That is pure T bona-fide classism and I don’t support it, personally.

Tbh, no. I expected they would be about 32 using the word “skeet.” I’d expect the youth of today to say “cummies” or some other abject disgrace of a word lol.

but you’re responsible for not trying to vote them out and writing off the entire fucking party as the same.

What do you think I’ve been doing for the last 30 years, sticking a finger in my ass and checking for smells? Again and again I’ve done “my part,” and nothing has changed. Your anger is misplaced, misguided by the very people I speak out against into attempting to silence any dissent to The Party™. Fuck off lol.

Keep your guilt complex to yourself, I don’t need it. If you feel personally responsible for the abhorrent candidates the DNC runs more power to you. I however am but one man with one vote and I’m hardly responsible if the majority of or the leadership of The Party don’t align with my views. It is they who have failed us, not the other way around.

You can blame me all you wish, if it makes you feel better to blame others who have absolutely no say in the matter instead of the party or their leaders for disenfranchising so many people.

Your continued support of the familiar means they’ll never change. Of course since I’m sure you, like the party leadership, like it that way, it shouldn’t be an issue for you.

I still think it’s a ridiculous notion that I alone am responsible for the failures of the democrat party simply because I am unable to go door to door and say “Vote for Zippy,” regardless of who puts forth the candidate. Short of being the sole arbiter of ballots of course.

Lmao you’re a cartoon character.

Lol I didn’t realize that I’m the entirety of the DNC, who knew?

I’m just wondering why they left the fate of the entire free world to…this guy? Seriously? A turtle would have been better. Why run him again when it was this obvious of a bad idea even back in the primaries? Anyone but Hillary would have been a shoe in, now we have to worry.

Brother laser printers, higher upfront cost but I don’t think I’ll ever need another. I don’t print frequently so inkjet carts dry up, toner doesn’t have that issue, toner also lasts longer, whenever I have to replace it I’m pretty sure they have 3rd party carts, and they don’t do any subscription bullshit or planned obsolescence so far that I’ve seen. Easy to set up on linux through CUPS and the official brother .rpm or .deb drivers. Cannot recommend them enough as someone who also hates all other printers.

No, because when it’s over 40 he either uses a bus, train, plane, or someone else’s car. He never said he bikes 40mi, he says “sometimes he travels 40mi.”

Seems the commenter you replied to either thinks he means bikes, or was making a joke about the obvious missing information on the method of over 40mi travel.

And Killzone 3; and Jenovah Chen’s Flower, Fl0w, and Journey; and Uncharted.

I know I’m forgetting a few but either way there weren’t many.

Tbf there is sort of a barrier to entry to text based websites or at least the comment section therein, it is a reasonable expectation that everyone reading the comment section can either read or TTS it or else they wouldn’t be here. It is not a reasonable assumption that everyone who is concerned about the privacy of automobiles has the use of their legs. While cars can be built in such a way that legs are not necessary, to my knowledge bicycles have yet to be unless we’re counting wheelchairs.

Dude don’t trash it, give it to some kid that may appreciate it, or sell/donate it to a thrift store at the very least. It may not be the best guitar but it’s in fine shape, and you could change the life of some kid too poor to afford his own.

That said, chords are easier than arpeggios, idk what kind of music you’re into but I’d start (well, “start” with learning the chords, then) with something like Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here or The Penguins Earth Angel (for example.)

You’d think it’d make them do the opposite, idk about you but I’d be more scared of that guy than regular troops and I’d be gunning for him. “He’s clearly crazy, lord knows what he’ll do.”

Alpine.

Under, 'cause cat.

I just tell them to google first thing to do after installing Fedora and say “follow the guide except ‘fastest mirror’ just ignore.” Hasn’t failed anyone yet, and since I didn’t have anyone to help me it is what I did when I was new, except I’ve learned the fastest mirror part since then, so I pass along that knowledge.

Actually I think I may try and write up a script that’ll do all this for them, and make it even easier. I already have like half of it in my “new install” script but they don’t need all my packages.

I do recommend Fedora. It’s what I started on (besides tails) and after a couple years I’ve moved to FedoraKDE.

I’ll give that a shot, thanks.
