  • Great. So everyone will just continue dying or being in fear of dying in mass shootings, regular shootings, and more. This will continue for the rest of time because one side is scared of making a positive change to the situation.

  • Public opinion does not equal policy, and what you're effectively saying is that there is no negotiation possible. Moving an inch could lose you a foot, so no movement is possible.

    Don't pretend that it is both sides who refuse to "negotiate", when one side views any change at all as unacceptable compromise.

  • No shit...? The only reason that Saudi Arabia isn't a stretch of glass is because they were providing oil whilst Iraq was making moves to cut it off. Sate your bloodlust and destroy a regional inconvenience at the same time? That's a freebie.

  • A sword is a noble's weapon and you will be killed for so much as touching it.

  • With respect, that's bullshit. Common sense gun reform is on the table almost monthly, after every single mass shooting pretty much... which happen with great regularity. The simplest of measures is treated like a slippery slope to full bans and so nothing at all is allowed to progress. From the outside looking in, a nationwide firearms ban is a bogeyman used to prevent anything happening at all.

  • We're free to do all the great, innovative things we could want! But mostly the sneakiest, underhanded, previously illegal shit we want...

  • We really have sacrificed our species atop the fire of industry.

  • Living in the UK, I have never seen an actual firearm outside of specialist police and museums. Nor has that presented any problems. shrug

  • Did you think some else's nudes might have resurfaced there...?

  • The fact that her family were just like "a rich, aging celebrity?!? Of course you can predate on and fuck my 17 year old daughter", that says awful things about her parents.

  • "Genocide? Well there, but for the grace of god, go I."

  • So... you don't know the source of your suppositions then...? Thankfully the 2nd commenter does.

  • Those edgy comedians and their... checks notes wistfully harking back to days when they were able to lynch black people.

  • It makes the populace wonderfully easy to puppeteer, which is great for governments both domestic and foreign. Russia and China are having a great job spinning up contention in the US and setting groups of opposed people actively at each other's throats. Organisers for groups and events end up being unrelated foreign actors who there just to intensify the conflict and push the two sides in to direct confrontation wherever possible.

  • You can quit Facebook, just not Meta as an entity.

  • Neuralink reportedly floated the idea of removing his implant

    This immediately sank when someone pointed out that it would be a PR nightmare, which naturally was more important than patient safety.

  • I guess you never want to be buried in your first attempt.

  • You wound me.

  • It remains standard operating procedure for any law abiding company, and it benefits no one to pretend that it isn't.
