I have heard lots of reasons, some make sense some dont...
Some say you shouldnt open carry cause it will cause people to fight against guns and try to outlaw them.. I say the opposite, people being around them will make them more comfortable with it.
Some say you shouldnt cause it will cause a disturbance, also bad logic.
The only good logic I heard is that it will alert a bad person that you are armed and may make you an early target and therefore make it hard for you to protect yourself effectively.
@realcaseyrollins Oh the defund shit was hilarious... As you know i was very much "cops are pieces of shit", and we even disagreed strongly on the floyd case.... but that said we both agree the defund the police shit was the dumbest response possible to that.
Fixing the police would mean better training, fixing some legislations, doing all sorts of things, and those things cost money. If there is **one** thing the liberals should know its that trying to fix shit costs money, actually fixing it (if even possible) costs a lot.
@chiasm in my field its worse, there are some things an expert can do that a noob couldnt do no matter how much time they invest.
@austinkocher Its a purpose built device, so limited... I would recommend one of hte many e-paper android devices instead. Much more flexible and powerful.
@freepeoplesfreepress as long as the pen is very large and sharp, and the sword is very tiny and dull, then this holds true ;)
@freepeoplesfreepress @Decad3nce
Thanks
@freepeoplesfreepress high explosives are mightier than low explosives too :)
@Decad3nce ut again despite plenty of legitimate concerns from the world its important for everyone to remeber you contribute to your problems too, any other thinking is just not healthy.
Address the forrest fires, address the minimum wage, but also address the ways you coukd have done better in your own life, or how the grouos you are a part of could have done better.
@Decad3nce as i said there are plenty of legit external factors
Basically, there are plenty of issues to overcome, every generation has them in different forms. Ut there is a tendency for everyone to blame the system or other people or other classes and not take ownership for their own contribution to the problem.
How often do you hear people call out problems witbin a group they are a part of or personally resonible for vs how often they blame everything and everyone else? Its not a healthy way to look at things, you need a balance of both.
Both sidism may be bad if you amplify both sides indiscriminately.. it is never bad to listen to both sides though.
@fikran why woukdnt you dk it again?
I want a t-shirt that says "Everyone I dont like is Hitler"
Possibly.. honestly looking at her garbage of a feed she looks like someone who is pretty radicalized/polarized in general.. She probably rage quits on anyone who disagrees with her even a tiny bit.
