I have no fucks to give about American cops anymore

They were there to arrest a guy for stalking. I have no clue what to say to you that you have no sympathy for people getting murdered while enforcing stalking laws.

Asbestos is only an issue if it gets in the air. If you are worried about it, grab a respirator, break off the loose parts and paint over it.

I wish they would do that for me

They do. It’s why your first A/B question doesn’t look like a giant blurry mess. The machine already got it close, now they are fine tuning the final result with your input.

they’ll even test you against the ones you already tested against

Yep, they are trying to get you as close as possible to your best prescription. So making sure is important.

That’s the fun thing about charging someone with a crime. The accused hasn’t been proven guilty yet.

In this case, they were there to arrest him for stalking. Which may or may not have resulted in a felony, barring him from gun ownership.

A hallucination is something that disagrees with your active inputs (ears, eyes, etc). AIs don’t have these active inputs, all they have is the human equivalent of memories. Everything they draw up is a hallucination, literally all of it. It’s simply coincidence when a hallucination matches reality.

Is it really surprising that the thing that can only create hallucinations is often wrong? That the thing that can only create hallucinations will continue to be wrong on a regular basis in the future as well?

But, why?

A basic gun safety class? Why not?

I got one when I was a kid. At that age it’s ‘don’t touch the gun’.

When you get older it’s how to touch a gun.

Give it a few warnings then just shoot it down. Turkey did so and now they don’t have Russian problems.

Some things have gone up much faster than others. And Taco Bell, McDonald’s have both gone up in price much faster than home cooking has. Which is exactly where more and more of my food is coming from now.

Vast majority of fast food now: ‘fast’, ‘cheap’, ‘good’, pick zero.

Don’t go back. They don’t deserve the prices they are charging.

The fuck is happening?

I’m cooking more at home! That’s what’s happening.

Nintendo just continues to go down the shitter.

I’m still amazed they were able to get the patents for summoning a creature and for a flying mount to transition into a ground mount. It isn’t like almost every RPG since ever has done one or both of those. But, according to Nintendo, they should be the only ones who can do either!

It would be really funny if Microsoft, owner of World of Warcraft, sues the fuck out of Nintendo over this. One can dream…

That is better mitigated by gun safety classes in school. As this doesn’t interfere with the right to defend yourself and simultaneously teaches gun safety/literacy to kids.

mandatory safety courses

Put this in a life skills class in high school. Just a few class periods of gun safety, gun knowledge, and a practical using BB guns.

The life skills class can also teach filing taxes, credit card interest, mortgages, cooking basic meals, etc.

When seconds count, one doesn’t need to fucking around with a lock.

The SSA has a neat Actuarial Life Table, which informs how long the average person of a specific age will live. As you get older, your average life-span actually increases, as we can now factor out that you didn’t die at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4…38, 39 years of age.

The average adult male, 40, lives until they are 77, female 81.

Being anti-gun consistently looses Democrats so damn much support. There is no reason Dems should be relegated to the cities; dropping this topic and giving gun owners a fig leaf in the form of dropping suppressors from the NFA would go a long way.

Though, that easy fig leaf of making hearing safety equipment more accessible may already be gone as the classist tax stamp for suppressors was just recently removed by Trump (nice win for gun owners there, particularly for poor individuals). Which, may result in this easy win for Democrats ultimately going to Republicans (depending on how ongoing litigation plays out wrt the NFA holding up as a $0 tax vs an illegal registry).

That’s what they all say. Then it’s “damn, I should have not spent money like I was going to die, I should have invested, I should have taken care of my health, I should have spent more time with my family that is no longer around”

I can’t be bothered to figure out how to clean up the bloat, disarm the telemetry, avoid the online MS services, block the ads, dodge the bugs, wait for the updates, get used to all the various stupid ways the UI has changed

And once you figure that all out, an update turns half the shit back on without telling you.
