No, be loud about bad laws.

> It could be great, but am I going to use it on my elementary aged child’s devices.

This is nonsensical. Fundamentally this is a file made to be uploaded to gmail or fastmail named `<provider>Filters.xml`. In what universe would you "use" this on your elementary aged child's devices?

> I see this as an extension of tshirt and jeans to work at an office job. The unforeseen consequence being the elimination of decorum everywhere. It’s not really about vulgarity, but a general lack of respect for others, standards for ourselves, and dissolving social culture.

I think we'll be okay with dispensing of the "social culture" that is slacks and a polo.

Helping some small portion of the people who suffer from epilepsy is a far cry from "Best diet for mental health is keto diet".

That's not what that experiment is showing. If you move the trigger by 1mm and jostle the slide, nothing will happen. You have to take the trigger _to the wall_, and then 0.5mm further, and then wiggle the slide.

It does. This whole "small amount of pressure on the trigger thing" stemmed from a video by "Wyoming Gun Project", in which he did the exact same thing to a P320.

> It's working exactly as intended.

I think the founders would be pretty surprised to see the vast majority of electoral votes being determined all-or-nothing by the popular vote of the citizens of the state. If that was how they intended it to work, you might think they would've set it up that way in the first place.

Doesn't that beg the question of why anyone gets fat if your metabolism can just... increase to cover some arbitrary amount of calories?

That wasn't my takeaway from that comment.

> Your body adjusts its metabolism based on the amount of food you eat as long as it's not chronic.

Suggests that your metabolism is changing, as though your body becomes more or less efficient at burning calories because you're eating more or less. Instead, these guys eat a huge surplus of calories and then go into a deficit to get back to their standard weight.

Fire, probably. But also, how complicated would you make the system if you needed to prevent certain switches from working during certain times of flight? At some point... we're all just in the hands of the people in the cockpit.

Legitimately can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. Saved free speech??

I believe they were referring to the fact that you can't hit a button and generate new fingerprints for yourself. The ones you have are with you forever, generally.

Does this make you more of a citizen than literally any other? It shouldn't.

> and of course sales haven't fully recovered yet

I'm out of the loop here. Recovered from what? A few months ago in similar threads the going theory was that people were waiting for the new Y, and that's why there was a slump. The new Y is out and available, no? Are they just not up to full rate production?

Wrong guy, you're thinking of the AG, Ken Paxton. It is a travesty that he still holds his position and is likely to unseat Cornyn (who is also terrible, but less so) in the coming senate race.

Isn't text a "symbolic visual"? I would think that at some point a symbol that's used as frequently as the hamburger icon would/could eventually become equivalent to the word.

Even if the death penalty was perfectly humane, there are so many other considerations that this comparison is clearly in bad faith. The GP doesn't understand why the state murdering people is a different consideration entirely from doctor assisted suicide?

This is a weirdly funny thread. How many theoretical children would you trade for 1 real child? All over a car seat that perhaps prevented 4,000 additional births a year?

The burden is on the user to show that it is fair use, no? Not everyone else's responsibility to prove that it's _not_ fair use.

Hindsight is 20/20. Let's see how the erosion of the foundations of the United States works out over the next 60 years. Frankly, just having an anti-vax as secretary of HHS will likely kill more than all the American deaths in Vietnam.

Sure, I believe there are lots of folks who prefer cash. I just don't think "vastly preferred" is accurate. [1] suggests that only 20% of all transactions are using cash...

> Cash is vastly vastly preferred for restaurants in the USA by both sides.

What two sides are you referencing? I can't fathom that customers is one of those sides. Cash is just about my least preferred method, maybe second only to writing a check.

It has more to do with OP who said "45 more months of this nonsense". Even if the current guy dies or is unable to run, there are plenty of other folks willing to carry on down the same path in his stead. 45 months might be optimistic.

On a similar note, my family eschews Hobby Lobby for similar ideological reasons.

> They are heavily armed, yet they have very low rates of gun violence

Citation needed. Per capita, those in rural areas are more likely to die from suicide by gun than urbanites from gun homicide. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamasurgery/fullarticle/280...

> The issues are social and cultural and are not something that a gun ban will solve.

Citation needed. Where have gun bans failed and why? Mexico, central, and South America, primarily because it’s so easy to obtain weapons in the U.S. and smuggle them down.

> There will at best be no cooperation with forced confiscation, and most likely there will be active resistance against such a tyrannical incursion upon the rights of free people.

Citation needed. There are absolutely nut jobs that won’t follow the law, but that’s true of any law. The solution isn’t to not pass laws. These folks will be dealt with like any other criminal.

You make a lot of assertions that seem to stand up to even the tiniest bit of scrutiny. You don’t back any of it up with any data.

> Banning them doesn’t get rid of them.

Check historical instances of gun bans. They don’t line up with this assertion.

> They will be emboldened by knowing that every potential victim they come across will be unarmed.

Check historical instances of gun bans. They don’t line up with this assertion.

> What is preventing a government from declaring marshal law and suspending elections as soon as the citizens are disarmed?

The same thing that prevents this in countries with gun bans.

With no second amendment, you could plainly ban firearms altogether.

Demonstrate that there would be an increase in violent crime without guns.

The current government was elected in a society with guns. The best way to prevent tyrannical governments is an educated populace that doesn’t vote for tyrants.

It would allow for more stringent laws. The number of guns relative to population is irrelevant.

Repealing the 2nd.

Why is "prevent a determined individual from getting a gun" the bar?

> I see many in the US thinking that Trump is an idiot. No, he is not.

I have no idea how you can hold that view after seeing the hurricane forecast he sharpied. The man is legitimately a dullard.
