One of my friends was complaining that Biden's border policy is a disaster and I told her that it's actually very easy to "fix" the border, it's just incompatible with stated US values:

Ritual torture.

Now they have to expand the target population because Biden's deportation numbers were better.

"Fun" story, I got my MMR 3x as a kid and another 3x as an adult because my antibody titers were and remain undetectable (i'm not immunocompromised on any level). With the current events I really hope my T-cells are ready for the heavy lifting 😅

Of course, according to RFK Genius, I'd need lower doses not higher because "race".

I remember trying it with Skyrim making me so nauseous I was wiped out the whole day:D

I sold it at a profit.

For a fascist disapproval of a slim majority definitely isn't "underwater" just a "minor inconvenience".

Could make a great stripper stage name too 😅

I had the original devkit. The FB sale killed Oculus for me for life.

Time to look into purchasing Swedish National Bonds, 'cause those Grippens will be grippin.

Dr Shafiq's case was a great example of how one should (not) to deal with MAGA. She literally did everything the GOP demanded of her. Then Mike Johnson still went on to demand her resignation. She called cops on students (HUGE mistake), fueled the flames of nationwide protests... Yet she ended up resigning. In contrast Dr Claudine Gay did not budge so she was academically assassinated and then they made her resign. UPenn's president Dr Liz Magill was pressured to resign too. Which is telling how the free speech absolutist party suddenly uniformly got 3 ivy league university presidents resign/removed regardless of them doing what was demanded or not.

And this is what will lead to the demise of trumpism: they make resistance way more worthwhile than compliance.

now this is art!

the hero we need to fight click bait

that might be canceled out by drops in foreign weapons orders given the new mistrust (see Portugal canceling their F-35 orders).

I read Schmuck Chumer for a second

According to this reasoning CEOs don't create value.

To be clear, I don’t know you, and there’s nothing personal intended in my remark. I do know this learned helplessness, however. It’s just weird that the same Americans who shockingly often expect me to cure death (literally) suddenly behave like NPC’s bouncing off a wall when it comes to lowering gun deaths.

Please let me reassure you, thats inaccurate....

What's inaccurate? I made like 5 statements.

1. Guns kill more school-aged kids than motor vehicle accidents and cancer (i had to recreate the stats from the CDC wonder database myself excluding anybody over 18 because schmucks kept on complaining about the NEJM article including 19-year-olds, which apparently invalidated the data, except that it didn't)
2. Gun suicides are mostly committed using firearms from friends and relatives.
3. If you look at UK's homicide stats and the US's (BJS) homicide stats you can tell that actually the homicide rate difference is driven by firearms.
4. It's a fact that it is much harder to kill someone including oneself without a gun.
5. States that have gun storage laws have lower firearm mortality in kids.
6. Blablabla on your trust me because I did some research. I'm in academia and published half a dozen (non-gun) epidemiology papers to date as a side hustle so I do know how to use the CDC databases. I've been forced to dive into the gun violence data because I'm really fed up with all the disinformation.
7. What I have seen no supportive evidence for to date is "that training professionals to identify perpetrators" ("hardening schools?") has any effect on school shootings.

Now let's see your papers.

and most people who think they are hard asses aren't hard asses either. the country isn't collapsing either. it's just relinquishing its role of being the leading superpower and establishing techfeudalism.

so far, said weaponry's main achievements are higher murder rates than anywhere in the west (interestingly, if you remove guns homicides, it evens out), and killing kids at a higher rate than cancer.

^OP, here's the answer to your question

(Intellectual laziness and uncritical acceptance of propaganda).

School shootings are often carried out by juveniles who can’t lawfully get a gun.

Cut this crap, this isn't reddit. Most kids them get the guns from a relative or friend who obtained it legally and adequate storage laws reduce both suicides and homicides in kids. BTW, guns kill more kids now than cancer or car accidents, but only in the US. Your take is the best example of americans being unconcerned about preventable deaths.

Step 1: Make insanely stupid design decision to save $2

Step 2: Sell reversal as an upgrade

if it were up to me, you wouldn't be in this situation. i'm sorry if you can't see the difference.
