Nah, McConnell is a bitch too.

"idgaf, fuck you got mine"

Yeah but my landlord doesn't take future back pay as rent

I think you mean UTC

And if you do, do the fun stuff like weed, cocaine, shrooms, LSD, stuff like that. Don't fuck with the dangerous stuff like heroin, fentanyl, meth, or pills like xanax or other benzos. Also alcohol can be dangerous too.

Unless you are not in a mentally healthy place, or know you are susceptible to addiction. Then don't even try.

I think Cloudflare might be having problems. It might go back to normal soon.

Really? That seems weird. I feel like they should live with the post, not the author.

At a minimum, it was owned by the national trust, so in no way was it his tree to cut down.

The rangers go home. If there are gates, they close them.

And trash stops getting picked up and the bathrooms are locked, so you can imagine what happens when people go in anyway.

Ask the admins of lemm.ee, not lemmy.world

Not uncommon.

The government should absolutely be putting its finger on the economic scale. For example, by subsidizing green energy project research and development. Lots of stuff isn't immediately profitable, but if R&D is done by the government it can be far too slow. Subsidies help get the best of both worlds.

Yeah, for fights that's very possible. And in fact that would have been preferable if feasible in this scenario, because it's still far less likely to be fatal than shooting someone.

Proper use of a firearm is intending to kill someone. Again, there is no way to use a firearm to be less-lethal. If you shoot someone, you are shooting to kill. Presumably this guy had some CCW training and would know that.

Those are very small targets. They'd be hard enough to hit on a static range with no pressure. They'd be even harder to hit when moving, in a stressful situation, at close range. If you miss, you could hit someone else. Even if you hit them, the bullet will probably go right through and into whatever is beyond. This is why you aim for center of mass. Easier to hit, less chance of overpenetration, and more effective in stopping an attacker in a life-or-death situation.

Despite what the movies may show, you can't just shoot to wound. If you shoot someone in the leg, and hit the femoral artery, they can bleed to death in seconds: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17334183/

I would have thought it common sense, but sure: https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/use-force-continuum

Firearms are at the bottom, under lethal force. There is no way to use firearms to be less-lethal.

I don't think you get the frequent security updates from Google, but you do get them rolled into the slightly-less-frequent regular updates from the e team.

Right. Discord is IRC-like, but all of the "servers" are just a logical separation within Discord.

Shooting at someone is intending to kill them.

30 seconds is a long time for someone to be harassing you. I can see why it escalated.

But it still doesn't justify deadly force. That's a last resort.

I thought it would never happen. I'm excited to see the race for her seat.
