@mxtthxw Just use blanks.. fairly safe and the expiernce will be largely the same.

Vey minor Royalty, a Baron.. ill find him in my family tree for you if you want. He was 1500s IIRC.. but my coat of arms goes back long before that into pre-history.

@thor

@thor My family coat of arms is somewhat similar.. though my coat of arms is from pre-history so not surprising.

> I think the 'I like guns' argument is pretty damn strong to be honest. Do you like guns?

I like guns is a fine argument as to why you want guns.. It just isnt the only valid argument, there are several and the logic checks out on all of them IMO

Guns are alright, it can be nice to shoot. There is funner stuff though

@mxtthxw

> It's impossible to say about Hitler, we can't re-run history.

**you** were the one who used the quality of politicians to back up your claim tht the argument was nonsense... It was "impossible" to say then too, but that didnt stop you. But now that you have a counter example of the same kind only now its "impossible to say"... thats the bias I am talking about.

Like I get it, I agree its hard to say for sure... but you did, and you were ok with that only so far as you thought it supported your point of view. Now that its clear the line of argument doesnt support it now its an issue?

> Back to the point, the US government, over and over, does horrible shit and there's been no uprising against it.

Right, as I addressed guns are not, and should not, be used to start murdering people every time the government does "horrible shit".. Its meant as a last-resort, its meant for the hitlers, not Bushes/Bidens of the world

> Why hasn't New Zealand had a Hitler?

Because New Zealand allows guns? In fact up to 2019 they had access to a pretty decent range of guns. Things got much stricter after 2019, but we spent a lot of that time in quarintine... so not much time for a Hitler to even rise to power, not to mention they still have access to guns (albeit far more restricted) so hardly the best example.

A brand of the store itself. Like Acme brand soda you might buy at Acme.

@wauz

@etherdiver

Just a few weeks ago I detailed the exact laws passed leading up to and including the nazi regime. Obviously your wrong, but I also wont waste my time on someone who likes to kick things off with personal insults.. So yea, you can go away now thanks.

@mxtthxw

> The cause of Hitler was economics post WW1, which was clearly an absolute cluster fuck whichever way you spin it.

Yea, and? Doesnt change the fact that a lack of guns caused him to have a much easier time with all that he did

> What if Hitler came to power and it was predominantly his supporters who had the guns?

Thats why its so improtant to teach our kids that being a responsible adult includes being a gun owner, to ensure we dont have those sort of divides. The government is just a bunch of rules if the people arent in line with it.

> "I like guns' is as compelling argument as any, 'protection from tyranny' doesn't add up.

You have made no case to that end.. I mean your one argument was "there are bad people in govt".. yet Hitler was a pretty obvious counter argument to that and then your goal post moved to "Oh well give it time"... The truth is, while your right only time will tell, all the evidence so far suggests it has been an effective preventative against a hitler, and it doesnt take much common sense on top of the evidence to understand why a gun would be a deterrent to such things.

My guess is you are more intentionally blind to the narrative because your trying desperately to justify a bias rather than view the situation objectively. Not that your alone in that, we are all biased, but your logic just doesnt line up with the reality.

@mxtthxw

Because guns arent about solving all problems. They are a last resort, as killing always should be.

One could argue our lack of ever having a literal Hitler while Europe has is at least one telling indication it is doing what its supposed to.

@caitoz Yea one sidedness is silly in a situation like this...

wait...

@dismantl Thats the one, its the defacto standard recomendation for those who want to learn git well.. its also free :)

@tripu yea me too.. like online reviews I just assume is advertising being masked as a review.. its usually obvious too cause its "top 5 best of 2023".. .never criticisms, just why a few options are awesome. Its all very transparent.

That said there are a few legit reviews, just gotta find them.

So weird dealing with two companies I've been trying to start both getting funding at the same time... One company I've been trying to start for over 20 years... kinda surreal..

Now I gotta hire like 3 devs quick as hell... fun!

I don't need innocent Palestinian civilians to support LBGTQ rights in order for me to support their human rights anymore than I need American conservatives to support LGBTQ rights in order to support their human rights.

Human rights are not earned. All are entitled to them.
