Those huge default subs are virtually impossible to comment in. Automods delete any posts that don't conform to twenty different parameters. It's maddening.
Explains how bots are the only activity in them, because they've been programmed to conform to posting rules that no human can possibly comply with.
I researched and it turns out no fully automatic weapons have been available for a few decades now. Tightly controlled. Semi automatic is just as lethal though. Also apparently the las vegas shooter in 2018 use bump stocks on his semi automatics which makes it pseudo automatic if you'll pardon the pun. Notably, the DOJ announced this bump stock reg in 2018, under the Trump administration. Interesting, but not surprising, that the insane right didn't lose their shit about "muh gunz" when it happened under Trump's reign.
You're right my bad. I know Americans are pretty bad about that on the Internet. I try not to be but in my defense I was thinking about that friend and projected him onto your comment.
I spoke with a far left friend of mine about this. His position essentially boiled down to the risk of a massive nuclear disaster outweighed the benefits. I said what about the known disastrous consequences of coal and oil? Didn't really have a response to that. It doesn't make sense to me. I'll roll those dice and take the .00001% chance risk or whatever.
Yes seriously, only thing cops are good for is the paper trail for insurance. Call them while you're being assaulted and they'll probably just join in the fray.
It's hard for me to judge them individually cop to cop because literally EVERY.SINGLE.ENCOUNTER I have EVER had with a cop has been a negative experience at best. Every single one. I'm not going to hate on you or call you fascist. Just pointing out it's like saying I've never met THIS wasp before, maybe I shouldn't judge it unless it stings me! Then surprise motherfucker you got stung, whodathunkit.
even if a cop is on a power trip if you ask them they will help you
Fucking bullshit, sorry but not sorry, but you're delusional man. And I'm a 40yo professional white guy in the suburbs! My god, I can't even imagine being black from the hood.
I've encountered more trolls, assholes, and general dickheads here on lemmy than I ever have anywhere else on the Internet, and I've been around for a long time now so that's really saying something.
Idk what's more frustrating: the idiots and assholes themselves or the fact I see threads like this every day talking about how awesome lemmy and everyone around here is (are?).
It's not tikka masala, more of a Thai curry, but what I do is get a ton of onion garlic and ginger and maybe red pepper or something in the pan with sesame oil. A few scoops of curry powder goes a long way too. Then mix in a can of curry paste. Sizzle a bit. The trick is to use a can of chicken broth and maybe a cube of bullion. Then add your basil and a can of coconut milk. There's your curry sauce. Add a cup of lentils or some chicken and you're good.
All this because I flippantly said I'd take a firing squad! I find it easier to believe that you're a bot rather than a human being who made the decision to pounce up my ass over an offhand comment. Take a xanax and chill the fuck out, seriously.
At this point I'm convinced you are a bot designed to piss people off to drive engagement up, there's no way anyone can be so intentionally thick and contrarian.
I think the most important step to move forward is to somehow rein in Faux News. Every problem in this country can directly be traced back to the fact that 40-50% of voters are getting blasted with coordinated disinformation assaults pumped into their brains 24/7. I don't see a way to move forward without solving that issue.
Forbidden tomato sauce for his hot pocket later I'm sure.
