1. i don’t scour your post history for sources, i look at the stuff you send me. Pro tip, the username specifies individual people on this platform
2. 45% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents is not 50+
3. Dems and dem leaning people are not “the left”. fun fact, dems aren’t even center left. they’re center right.

what stats are you reading man? rounding 45 to 50+? or am i missing some specific other line that you’re adding to the numbers?

regardless, none of the above are shooting anyone but fellow civilians.

so you’re hell bent on the claim that no meaningful amount of left leaning people in the US possess guns and that’s the root of the problem.
do you have numbers on that or is it more of a vibe fact.

No botanicals involved.
You are either completely misunderstanding or intentionally misconstruing like half of what i’m saying.
DESPITE your great plan of arming every waking being, and many guns in civillian hands, nobody is keen on starting a civil war - as is evident by the lack of any shootouts of the great armed population against ICE.

If i really have to spell out the specific implications and meanings of anything I write, so you don’t move goalposts every other comment, i’d rather withdraw from this utterly pointless exercise.

Bro i specifically wrote “NO civil war is breaking out”

IDK why you’re struggling so much to misconstrue the very brief points that I made.

Global politics do affect the globe btw

Exactly, thanks!

The fuck are you on about? Civil wars happen regardless of the population being armed or not. See Myanmar.

is this a strawman or just intentionally obtuse?

Cause in the states it’s getting that way soon.

sure, maybe. probably not, but maybe.

That’s not how that works at all.

…

and just see what you are fed by your local news.

aaahh there we go, conspiratorial anti “the media” shit that i usually expect from the good ol 2A crowd.

Notice how no civil war is breaking out.
Notice how nobody wants to start a shootout with armed forces?
Notice how the only real world impact of civvies arming themselves is more civvies die?

I’m from a country with sensible gun laws and no gestapo snatching people off the streets. yet we still take to the streets in protest of a far right party blasting past constitutional lines - they’re currently under investigation and potentially to be banned in the future.

All without posturing as armed defenders of democracy watching it’s downfall from the sidelines.

I think it’s more that they cosy up to tyranny because they are spineless hanger-ons.

It’s not that people relied on the right to fight anything - it’s more the fact that none of these manlyman hero “good guys with a gun” ever step up.
The whole point of the criticism of 2A is that every single argument for it is bullshit with no basis in the real world.

But not born, tellingly enough

then he wouldnt be an immigrant would he. jfc what are you talking about

yeah. still waiting on the 2A crowd to enforce their anti tyranny claims.

But what is the question?

Reports from the rest of the world:

Russian attack kills 3 in Ukraine’s city of Dnipro, governor says
Moscow’s troops launched 235 drones and 27 missiles, damaging residential and commercial buildings and causing fires, the Ukrainian Air Force said. It said in a statement that 10 missiles and 25 attack drones hit nine sites. The rest of the drones and missiles were brought down, the Air Force said.

Right populist leaning german news outlet welt.de says:

In der Stadt Dnipro und Umgebung seien drei Menschen getötet und sechs verletzt worden.
In the City Dnipro and it’s surroundings three people have allegedly been killed and six have been injured.

I think this may not be about turtles

I used to run Mint and Win7 parallel in uni (gosh, a decade ago?) since we were working with ruby - at the time basically impossible to run and dev under windows.
In matters of development there are almost only advantages, depending on your target platform of course. Bash is great, tools and packages are usually easier to setup than on windows.
For gaming my only linux experience is the Steamdeck. I’ve ran a bunch of non-steam games and Proton (the bridge for windows games under Linux) does all the heavy lifting for you. I only had issues with the Riot launcher, which tended to break when detecting a new update.

with tofu (especially plain soy tofu) the key is the seasoning. Think of it a bit like you would chicken. Marinate it, make a rub, add a sauce… By itself its pretty plain and some people hate what flavour it does have, but it acts like a sponge for seasoning.

Similarly, another incredible protein is Seitan. Basically pure gluten from washing out flour (you can also just get gluten powder to save like an hour of work)
Makes for really good meat imitate especially when folded/braided into different textures.

I’m just writing it assuming someone who has no idea reads this, you did sound like you know veg foods in general.

One hundred percent, certified banger and I love it.

Ah, misunderstood you then.
Are there generally any methodical issues with the study in the end or is it a case of just being wary of the source?

I’m gonna die on the hill that rogue one was unnecessary.

Its a cool ass movie, but the “everything must have detailed in universe lore”-culture annoys me so much. Especially regarding a franchise that started as metaphoric of a story as star wars.

Like I don’t need in-universe guides to enjoy old kung fu hero movies with floaty wallruns and rooftop jumps. Its all metaphor and stylistic choice.

Why do I need midichlorians and shoehorned blueprint fudging? Plus the ending was so predictable, i was disappointed when realising they really didn’t come up with a better out than what i guessed before sitting down in the theater.

Bean tofu rules. Had lentil tempeh the other day and that was so good too!
