  • You guys were voting based on "lesser of two evils" and not based on who you actually like?

    I've always just voted for the guy I like best. I never felt that voting tactically was truthful.

    If everyone was like me we'd have a nicer political climate, I think.

    I'll keep doing that so you can feel free to join me in doing that until we reach the critical mass point.

  • Ultra-agree, the thing that really makes no sense here is softballing violence because it happens with an intimate partner.

    If we treated it like every other violence you wouldn't need a special one-off patch law since their rights would be automatically restricted by the prohibited person laws.

  • I actually believe that constitutionality is an important factor in our system of checks and balances.

    Unfortunately we haven't been very good at amending the constitution in recent history so we can't add new checks and/or balances.

    No one wants to do so because it means relinquishing some power, and possibly loosing marketshare uh I mean voter approval.

  • Without saying anything about politics, environment, or source:

    Why, for the love of Satan, does this graph have only 2 data points per source?

    Why use a line chart 📉 for that?

    This is clear bar chart territory 📊.

  • I think that it is an influence worth risking.

    The settings themselves vary wildly, and technically the books occur before, during, and after the present. The level of technology varies wildly.

    The one thing in common is the examination of the content of the character of the "human" being, and how we are the same or different, adapt or don't, expand or hide.

    It's truly masterful work that, yes has cool gizmos and concepts but worries more about how the gizmos make you feel.

  • No one has mentioned The Culture?

    There really wouldn't be much to update because a good chunk of it is still modern. Not only that, but Banks really fucked with gender, ideology, and civil rights in a way that is still incredibly relevant in 2023.

    I also really want someone to try to portray Fwi-Song from Consider Phlebas.

  • Oh boy, what can't we put ads in?

    Can we get MtDew Green Lights with Coca-Cola Red lights?

    The spacebar on laptops is free game, just asking for it.

    It really is a shame that I can still buy bedsheets that aren't branded with a corporate advertising campaign.

  • I actually fully expect many of these laws to be struck down, eventually, as they are pretty clearly in violation of the new tradition scrutiny brought on by Bruen. Heller is probably already gearing up for it lol.

    What I expect to stay is stuff like the ban on the Federal areas like the mall, as it would likely fall under the "sensitive places" allowance. It will be interesting to see if the Washington DC ban on carry in any place that holds an alcohol license covers that, however.

    Personally, I think that if you set up a gun-free zone you should actually fence/wall it off and have security to ensure it stays that way. All the federal areas that prohibit carry are already 2A and 4A free zones, so it's not really a stretch to move from "you may be searched at all times" to "you will be searched every time".

  • Based on pics it looks like a rifle that's not legal in DC due to it having too many features, and probably the named/clone ban.

    Being from Atlanta I presume the fellow did not take the 16 hour class to put in for a DC carry permit, which doesn't let you open carry or carry on the mall.

    That's a felony for the firearm, carrying it, one for each bullet, and each magazine over 10 rounds.

  • I guess only men can answer but fuck it.

    Trans women who want to get rid of their penis get shafted (pun intended) by circumcision as it reduces the amount of material for GRS.

    That plus those who want to keep it have to deal with the same impacts as other penis owners. Perhaps even more so, as lack of T and atrophy are not assisted by the loss of the protective layer.

    Most people don't really have a string opinion though, since you don't often find someone who experienced a sex life with a penis in both configurations.

  • He discovered the weapon during the flight between San Francisco and Hong Kong, it said.

    So he made it passed TSA with an entire firearm.

    Not just that, but he doesn't keep track of where his firearms are.

    For an honest mistake, so much had to go wrong.
