See the part where it says

> Endorsements visibility

Notice it says "no one" ... thats why.. you need to go into your instance and edit it and chance the visibility... By default it would be everyone so at some point you changed this to "no one" which is why it doesnt show.

By the way ill give you guys an endorsement shortly (and ill do this regardless of if you endorse qoto or if its visible, dont worry my endorsements arent conditional)

@freepeoplesfreepress Say "I ate Eddy's Balls" outloud... might need to say it a few times to get it... if you still dont let me know and ill give you the answer :)

@TruthSandwich

I think spoken portugese is beautiful.. I too cant make any of it out, but it is beautiful... The girl from impanema (sp?) is a lovely song in its native language.

And yea your choice of phrasing makes all the difference in google translate. It helps if you have some basis for picking those phrases (a catch 22)

@TruthSandwich I went on a date with a girl once who knew no english.. we only had google translate... it was... interesitng

@lowqualityfacts This makes no sense what so ever. My first cousin is a mushroom so how is this even possible?

@skobkin I even checked on my phone... take a look at the QOTO page from a private not logged in window... do you see it then?

@skobkin No you have your visibility set to off I think... you can see it but your the only one who can see it, not even i can.

> I would take issue with the idea that anyone (certainly any significant number of people, there may be edge cases) genuinely needs a gun immediately for legitimate purposes.

Once you put enough adjectives in front of something anything becomes a minority of the whole...

* genuine
* need
* immediate
*legitimate
* purpose

I mean sure ... lots of people have some combination of those 5 properties and not all 5 at once. The point? Someone with legitimate purpose, but it may not be immediate shouldnt have a gun because their need is "some unknown point in the future"?

> Even more so if you exclude reasons that aren't caused by the wide availability of firearms in the first place

That is a fallacy of statistical understanding, but lets not get off into that tangent....

> I'm much less likely to feel I need one to protect myself if the likely threat doesn't have one.

Not really, we have 3d printers that can make guns now, including fully automatic... One guy on youtube made a fully automatic gun in a few minutes by swleding together random parts from a bed frame.

Guns are trivial to obtain out of thin air, the idea that you think the other guy wont have a gun simply because you told him he couldnt doesnt track with the reality we are in, maybe 30 years ago, not now.

> Moreover the 2a protects the right to bear arms, not to be able to obtain one instantly.

No it doesnt simply "protect the right to bear arms".. it makes all infringement against ones ability to bear arms illegal. If you are denying me my right to bear arms in the hear and now, and dont even promise me the right in a few days, that is most certainly within the definition of an infringement.

@skobkin BTW do you know off hand if QOTO was endorsed and if so if endorsements are set to invisible for everyone?

Im just curious because it says i have 5 endorsements but even when im logged in I only see 4.

@skobkin I reached out to them seeing if they would be interested in me contributing some features... no response... I may just fork it and run my own if its not actively maintained

@Sunny

Yes there are certainly concerns and risks other than death, no doubt.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite

Man those Eddy's Balls did me dirty last night...

@SETIEric

Trump just assumes reality bends around him as needed
