I became politically aware - as in I could name more politicians than just the head of state for big countries - in my late teens. I’m now 41. Never remember such a time

Furthermore reading history doesn’t help disabuse me of that notion either.

What were you expecting? “As president I will personally set the price of every item in every grocery store in the country”

As much as I’m for holding politicians to account - we should do it on stuff they can actually do.

both these fuckers look like they don’t understand why they’re shitting themselves

you say the lions share of murders are committed by drug gangs, but that’s ignoring the majority of gun injuries are self inflicted.

And while it was written into the constitution it was amended into the constitution, and like the 21st which repealed the 18th, could be amended out again.

you also say there are 5x defensive Gun owners. This is a made up statistic - there is no formal definition of a defensive gun owner, there is no way to shoot a gun defensively.

While it may take time - a few generations - maybe even a dozen generations - to disarm the majority of households, it’s possible.

who are you disarming

the majority of gun owners own guns for fun/sport. So while, yes, it is sad to ruin fun, it’s also sad to have children killed.

Finally, you don’t have to ban all guns, you could keep say, bolt action rifles and single barrel shotguns - where sports and hunting could still continue. This wouldn’t solve all the problems but it might have saved lives multiplicatively in mass shootings.

internet pictures should only be pornography. everything else should be text

I bet within a decade they pivot to barely any settings at all, claiming the released experience is the only experience you’ll ever need.

I imagine experts probably advise against it because there are far reaching implications that could cause significant diplomatic or intelligence issues, domestically and internationally and that Donald “Here’s Where Our Spy Satellites Are” Trump doesn’t give a fuck.

last Saturday I was walking through the park and saw a boomer wearing a giant “I’m voting for RFK ask me why” t-shirt.

kinda wish I had now.

considering that no one who isn’t involved in the creation of them is talking about quantum computing in regards to quarterly profits or posting about it on LinkedIn trying to score a lead, it may be as far left on the chart as possible.

Being a big ou(x)po fan, they at least were good at their work. Highly recommended starting with Italo Calvino’s Cosmicomics or If On A Winter’s Night A Traveller

This is twitter advice, but I assume it works.

I had about 10k followers and about 100 likes per tweet in my heyday - but had pretty much left about a year before elon took over, and fully left when he did.

It was a lot of work with little reward, but it was fun.

• Post actually engaging content for your niche on a regular schedule, preferably more often than twice a day
• you can maybe stretch to two niches on an account but likely you just want one
• engage primarily with people in that niche
• get to know them, build an online friendship
• get into group dms or chats with multiple people in the same niche
• nepotistically retweet each others stuff, publically respond favorably to it
• unless you have a really interesting life, keep your real life out of it and focus on your niche
• expect this process to be a committed 12 month process - so that’s at least 1000 posts, all should be high quality enough to warrant engagement.

and he likes calzones

I know it’s technically a strawman but there’s a lot pushing for a no-exception abortion blanket ban and that’s what that means, even if they are sketchy about admitting it publically

*t’ve mcworked.

medical reasons

ah you’ve lost them already I’m afraid. They just don’t care about silly things like your health or being able to live through pregnancy, or even if the child lives postpartum. If both mother and baby die during childbirth then at least there wasn’t an abortion.

no one wants to be an embarrassment. why not get a real job like mime artist or lute player?

there’s nothing wrong with being called gay, we still shouldn’t use it as an insult.

I would also add that you need to explain out-of-home steps, too.

I’m not an idiot but I didn’t go to school for compsci or similar and I don’t do it as a job. So frequently the instructions will go

• Get your IP address by entering this command
• Type your IP address in this line
• Now forward any chosen port to your proxy of choice and don’t forget to check your firewall settings!

My sibling in Eris, most people dont know any of those words.

you mean it’s on the north American continent right? right?
