@Geoffberner Certainly cant argue with the fact that biden is taking advantage of black women and pretending to be an ally just to further his career.

hen it was popular to be pro-segregation he was pro-segregation to get elected. Now that its popular to be a black ally he pretends to be a black ally to get elected... The man does whatever is in his interest.

I absolutely do support explaining risk factors to patience and causing them to think ahead.. but it has to be their choice, not forced on them.

For example if it were required that every gun shop have a mental health pamphlet explaining these risks and a number to call for consultation and they were encouraged to take one before buying a gun, id totally support that.

Hell I'd even support taxing guns and using that tax to pay for the psychologist to see them and have that conversation to ensure that it would be a free service.

But in the end if they want to buy the gun, they should be able to, even if they want to use it to die.

I dont recall seeing any of your cool ideas honestly. But maybe I just didnt see it cause my feed is so busy... Generally if I like an idea im pretty quick to encourage someone.

This is a very intellectually dishonest talking point...

**of course** having a gun in your home drastically increases your chances of death by firearm. Much in the same way that getting a vaccine drastically increases your chance of death by vaccine.. Both of these arguments are intellectually dishonest because they frame the question in a biased way and ignore the fact that they also simultaneously significantly increase your chances of **not** dying from non-firearm related deaths (like stabbings, or baseball bats, or even just being raped)

@thor Yes there is a job you can do for me... Please invest every minute you'd like to pay me back, whatever you feel that is, working on yourself and what you need to get to a better place. I will consider that a personal favor.

@DutyBard

Its not the easy access to guns that makes it so rare. Most home invasions in the USA are done by people without guns, largely because if they are robbing your home they are like drug addicted and/or poor and never had the money for a gun.

The reason home invasions in the UK is rare is likely many other factors such as how children are raised or easier access to mental health.

In fact when the UK banned guns violent crimes of all sorts skyrocketed and never really recovered. So from a relative perspective this seems contrary to the facts.

@Pat

B = Bastards

To be clear I only think All USA cops are bad. Outside the USA I find cops to mostly be fairly reasonable.

Assomeone from the USA I have expirenced a *huge** portion of cops abuse their power and are "bastards".. All the other cops may not be bastards themselves but they witness their colleagues on a daily basis abuse their power and never arrest them. This makes them bad people as well. Ergo 100% of cops in the USA are bastards either by letting their colleagues abuse their power, or by abusing their power themselves.

@rrb

Since I support access to suicide obviously I want those means to be effective (half-successful suicide in many cases is probably worse, brain damage and all just making their problems more).

I dont think we should be removing the temptation if that means removing the means to commit suicide no.. if anything we should provide easy access to the means to suicide... what we should be providing, however, is easy access to mental health and an environment where fewer people develop a state of wanting to commit suicide.. we should do our best to help provide support so people dont commit suicide. But in the end the access to suicide should be with no barriers.

@Clementulus @rrb @pj

Fair, though I think my response would apply equally in defense against restrictions as well... my general argument is, if you dont have a violent past then its up to you as a person to keep yourself in check, much as we do with alcohol.

@thor I love revolute, youll get it in a few minutes. Please just confirm when you do

@realcaseyrollins You might be surprised just how fast linux runs on ancient hardware :)

@thor revolute good then, ill send it now

@thor No need to pay me back by the way.

@realcaseyrollins Work on setting up your linux laptop to run windows software through wine then?

@thor

I see yo have revolute... how about 1000 NOK to your revolute account.. will get there faster and you can use the extra for rent.

@realcaseyrollins Shouldnt your use cases literally be everything you use your windows for?

@lunathemoongirl I might be able to help in the near future... few things..

1) If you want to learn ruby i am in the meantime offering some donations (not really hiring in the usual sense) for some help adding some features...

2) My company will likely be hiring tech talent in the near future, ill be in charge of finding and hiring that talent. So there may be an opportunity here for you if you're a fit. The timing may be too late though for what you need.

@thor Well I assumed as much.. and I meant more in the past...

Also, how much you need, ill send you some money, you got paypal?
