Should people kindly ask the home invader to please vacate the area after their door gets smashed in? Maybe just hug it out?

I don't know about you but I lock my doors. I don't know what the fuck a stranger is trying to do in my house. They will be met with force if they forced their way in to violate my personal space and safety. Being unarmed or complying won't keep anyone but criminals safe.

Is slapping down unconstitutional laws that haven't been around very long really "expanding" 2a rights? It's not like these rulings are allowing me to mail order machine guns like people use to. If by expanding the mean restore rights, sure.

The rulings just allow people to continue to own things in common use or do things that are legal in a vast majority of states. Keep in mind some of the laws in California involve things like demanding firearms have tech in them that doesn't exist.

Seems weird to argue that it's "escalating" to defend yourself from a home invasion.

Most people buy a handgun like that for self-defense. Likely because they don't expect the cops to show up and protect them. And there isn't anything wrong with owning something dangerous if it's property secured and used safely. These parents were negligent.

Separating ammo isn't actually securing the firearm though. Loaded or unloaded it should still be property secured. And you can safely store a fire loaded if the firearm is actually in some kind of safe. The parents were simply negligent.

Not really

Every gun I've bought came with a cable lock. They are a waste though as would be a required trigger lock. I prefer different and more reliable storage methods.

And just because something came in the box doesn't mean it is going to be used correctly. Especially if someone doesn't like that way of securing a firearm. A better way is probably just some PSAs and tax breaks for security/storage devices to encourage proper storage. If there are going to be these things in every box give me a way to return them or something.

Basic safety rules can easily be found online, videos with YouTube. What you might teach a kid to do with a found gun depends on the age and context. And finding a random gun is different than gun safety at the range.

There are other resources like Eddie Eagle. The basic idea is to tell the kid not to touch it, leave the area, and tell an adult.

The footage of the kids finding hidden guns could be a good PSA for parents. Maybe hand out coupons for safes while we're at it.

Well, it's a bullshit argument. Do the "nothing to hide" people shit with all the doors and windows open or on a video stream? Do the "nothing to hide" people freely give out their bank details or nudes?

There is absolutely no reason to assume the government can be trusted to keep your private info private. If anything there is good reason to assume it won't be or it will be used against you. Maybe there is a leak or someone gets into power that shouldn't.

From a legal perspective it doesn't make any sense either. Political winds change governments and laws. Things you feel will always be legal may not be in the future. We could easily have a red scare 2.0 or get fascism in power.

Society changes as well. How many people are fucked over by online activity or picture from a decade ago? Lots of common social stances have not aged well. Crap kids say or document online will begin to affect them as an adult. Look at how some people target lgbt groups just for existing.

Medical issues are by fair the biggest risk, many of which is related to obesity and poor health choices on top of a lack of healthcare. Or it's just cancer or covid. Suicide might make the top 10 which again relates to a lack of healthcare.

Accidents of any kind make the top 4 or 3 but violence or murder isn't that high on the list. The subset of gun violence is even smaller. There has been a downward trend in violence for decades now. It doesn't feel that way with the news but people are generally less likely to be murdered than they were in the past. For a lot of the social issues failures with the economic system and a lack of social programs is the root cause for a lot of things.

You're the one randomly commenting to defend a government. Plenty of governments and orgs find problems with the policies and actions of the CCP not just the US.

One I have a problem with is how people in China can't really criticize their government without risking being targeted by the government. If I said the Pooh Bear comment in China the CCP would be on my ass because WeChat reported me.

On the other hand criticize my government all the fucking time including leaders in particular. Watch. Fuck Biden I don't like his gun policy and I don't think he should run again, he is too fucking old. Here, I'll do it again. Fuck Trump, he has tiny hands and I'm pretty sure he did those crimes he has been to going to court over. Also the DMV sucks and inflation is bad.

I could get into more important things the CCP is responsible for like the genocide but you probably think those are lies or want to get into whataboutisms.

How do you keep your breath so fresh? Does the pooh bear use mint flavored shoe shine or do you just pop in a mint after going to town?

On one hand people often don't like to hear bad news or an idea that means they have to do a thing or face a problem. On the other hand how a person is told the idea is a big part of a negative reaction. Often there is no reason to tell someone the thing at all.

I'll be straight forward if someone asks but I'm not "brutality honest". OP sounds like the "brutality honest" without anyone asking type.

If they have to use code words they're not going to be getting care in their state, not legally anyway. That's part of how they can even be charged with something.

I left the question fairly open just to kick off conversation. I was mostly thinking about dating profiles after being on apps too long.

I can identify with a lack of a big neon sign goal or a bucket list. I don't really want to do nothing though. I have hobbies and the internet bill doesn't pay itself. It's just that my career goals are mostly avoid going into management and retire with enough savings. No need to be CEO or famous or get awards.

Like a lot of people struggle just to keep a roof over their head and food on the table. I haven't needed to chase promotions or hussle all the time to achieve well beyond that. Decent pay and some stability sounds pretty good to me. Maybe that's just boring to some or they'd just want next thing once that got the current thing.

Not typical but not a bad idea if you're broke and trying to save enough on the energy bill to afford instant ramen next week.

As for annoying I'm guessing the annoying part is talking about it or asking people to change habits. You could also put in work to improve rates passively. Like improving the insulation of the home or filling gaps around windows. Note: Don't do noisy diy projects in the same room as your wife or leave a mess.

AI isn't actually doing a diagnosis. It's just trying to predict what to say based on what other people have said online. Often the AI generated content/answers are just wrong. Maybe an AI properly trained on symptoms could give accurate results but that isn't really what is happening with most of these AI models.

The AI answer will sound more detailed and involve more fluff. A doctor will often be shorter on details but just because they don't have time for the fluff. Even doctors think AI answers sound better due to the fluff. It doesn't mean the AI is actually better or something you can trust.

I could see some features they might want like texts not counting as an SMS or higher quality pics. Using an app fixes those issues so is whatever. Not texting at all is agreeable but don't expect me to reach out...

Things like suicide are far more related to a lack mental healthcare and the stigma around getting help than weather or not people are allowed to own firearms. Not everyone has those kinds of problems. An assault weapons ban is certainly unrelated to those seeking self-harm and most crime.

Those who make the decision still have a full blown office with real walls and a door so won't be negatively affected. It's mostly pushed because the open office idea is cheaper and allows managers to see butts in seats. Studies show it's a bad idea but people talk about collaboration and whatnot as an excuse.
