@freemo @Litzz11 @jamesmarshall @marq @georgetakei Fair enough. I was missing that context.

On the subject of gun control: I'd really love to see a candidate who was for addressing social and economic inequality and emphasized the role of addressing that in addressing problems such as violence (gun and non-gun), crime, poverty, and radicalization risks. They'd probably go really far and do a lot of good in the process.

Instead we get this really shallow posturing over really terrible and ineffective gun control laws by elected officials who don't know what they are talking about, and don't seem to care that they don't know. We get similar posturing over other superficial solutions to deeper problems on other issues. It's infuriating

@ML2

Id say that sums up my sentiments fairly well.. though perhaps im a bit more harsh on both sides.. But yea its pandering, real solutions dont seem to be the goal of either side for...w ell.. anything.

@stux yea ark is an online multiplayer game, though also has a single player option.

But it isnt one massive world for everyone. Its broken up into lots of smaller servers and each server has hundreds or more people on it or sometimes just a few. More like minecraft in that sense.

@naciketas The only thing worse than a republican is someone who thinks a democrat isnt as bad as a republican :)

@stux A bit more coding and you almost have a game that is entierly indistinguishable from ARK :)

@skells was is and remains, was in and remains categorically retarded

@ML2

We are talking about guns here, not just what party is worse in general.

If we were talking about what party, over all, is worse I think I'd say its close but republicans are slightly worse than democrats overall. They seem to have a better head economically and in terms of personal liberties, and the democrats seem to have at least some motiivation to address social injustice.

The think that the democrats fail at is they make choices that are actually harmful to their stated goals but carry them out more because they are popular and give the impression they are helpful.

Sometimes I think democrats may in fact be worse simply because at least republicans dont hide (or at least arent good at hiding) the fact that they make shitty decisions :)

@goodenough

Always amazing seeing someone offended by someone saying "yea it is a tragedy!"

@Litzz11 @georgetakei

@DoesntExist

Wow thats some impressive passive aggressive hostility there... Have you tried talking to people civilly and in good faith to have productive conversatios? It works wonders.

@georgetakei

@jamesmarshall

Oh I dont think both parties are "just as bad"... the democrats actively take steps that are popular and most of the people think help, but are very clearly harmful when we look at numbers.. in many ways thats worse than doing nothing. That said Id be hesitant to say they are worse than republicans just due to the fact that the things that would actually have some positive results (like investing in mental health aspects of health care) they routinely block.

@hugh

Its almost like I am acting like you wont have a good faith discussion.

re: #FediBlock Mention 

@koyu@koyu.space

More importantly the list counts number of instances, and doesnt weight for the size of an instance.. They intantionally manipulate things by counting a vast majority of small and single user instances. In reality QOTO remains one of the most federated instances in the fedi, they just managed to make up some phonyt numbers by getting a bunch of single user instances on a list and convince them we are evil

This guy really is a joke with his dishonesty. He even started banning people on his own instance for calling him out on this one.

@Polychrome @david

@marq@toot.community

You are doing me a favor int hat regard, thanks.

@Litzz11 @georgetakei

@frazzledLoon

Like I said, feel freet o cheer on the republicans/democrats all you want as things keep getting worse and worse... which will just ensure they keep getting worse as long as you praise this incompetance.

@marq@toot.community @Litzz11 @georgetakei

@hugh

totally agree there, this is an issue that should have been improved a long time ago and all anyone does is make it worse with nonsense.

@georgetakei

@marq@toot.community

While you arent wrong about republicans the fact that you think democrats arent actively making it worse rather than better is laughable.. but it clear from your antagonistic and bad-faith tone you will not and probably never have listened to anyone who ever criticized your home team.

@Litzz11 @georgetakei

@marq@toot.community

If you actually think republicans, or democrats for that matter, are solving hte problem I hate to break it to you, but you are the one witht he stupid bullshit here.
