Seconding the guy who said you can put whatever you want in a prenup

Insta = Instagram

THOT = That Ho Over There

Prenup = Prenuptual agreement, which is a contract two people sign before they get married, usually to determine who will get what in the event of a divorce. It’s usually used to avoid lengthy and costly divorce proceedings.

Pension = An older type of retirement account

So, that ho on Instagram stayed married to him for two years, fulfilling the terms of their prenuptial agreement, entitling her to full divorce benefits, which will be about half of this guy’s fortune, which should be enough for her to retire on.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Lol. Lmao.

The techno feudalists and their demented puppet are sabotaging the country quite effectively

Don’t threaten me with a good time

It sounds like you and I are in agreement, we’d like to see fewer gun deaths and less gun violence in the US. At the end of the day, I think you’ll have a hard time finding anyone who disagrees with that sentiment.

It sounds like we also agree, whatever measures are passed, we’d like them to be effective at taking guns out of the hands of those who would do harm with them.

The reason I oppose a ban is, bans disproportionately affect law-abiding gun owners, and the overwhelming majority (over 99%) of gun owners in the US abide by the law and commit no crimes with their guns. Bans overwhelmingly succeed at disarming responsible owners who had no bad intentions in the first place, and overwhelmingly fail at disarming the criminals at whom the bans are targeted.

Additionally, there are about 5-6 guns per US gun-owner. The logistics of safely locating, safely confiscating, and safely disposing of all of those guns in a way that doesn’t end up with them on the black market, is not a problem I think anyone has a good way to solve currently. I assert, the logistics of addressing societal factors that contribute to violence are much simpler, better understood, and more achievable.

European countries also do more to address the root causes of violence, poverty, drug addiction, mental health, and homelessness.

I think the differences in the way these societal factors are addressed more than explains the observed difference in levels of violence.

I believe a much more effective means of addressing violence in a country involves addressing the root causes of that violence, as opposed to banning the means of violence.

Banning the means only prevents violence when no means exist; addressing the root causes prevents violence, despite whatever means may exist.

I’m guessing police don’t fall into your definition of “regular people”. Like I said, police-involved shootings count as “mass shootings”.

If a cop shoots and hits two bad guys, that counts as a mass shooting. If a bad guy wounds a cop and his partner kills the bad guy, that counts as a mass shooting. If two people attempt to mug an old lady and she shoots them both, that’s a mass shooting.

I think most people would agree, those three scenarios aren’t what comes to mind when the phrase “mass shooting” is used, and I think most people would agree, these aren’t the scenarios we want to be putting a stop to.

Ask your doctor about Viagra.

Failing that, buy a house with thick walls, far away from neighbors, play your game only when the house is empty, try not to hurt yourself, and happy tugging.

I know, right? And entire engine developed from the ground up, just to be used on one game and never again. Such a shame. Fuck Konami.

I love the gameplay, but it’s SO obvious Kojima couldn’t cut it as a film maker so he created video games with feature film length cut scenes instead.

Liquid gets his arm chopped off, then he attaches Ocelot’s arm to himself, then Ocelot’s arm takes over Liquid’s body, and that was Ocelot’s plan the entire time? WHAT??

Don’t even get me started on Raiden and Vamp.

And once you explain that to them, you have to go on to explain how some distros are actually just clones of others, so you always need to be aware of which distro yours is “under the hood.” And once you’ve explained that, you need to go on to explain that each distro has several different options for front-ends. And that’s usually where I lose most people.

I’m tempted to just start giving people a Linux Mint USB just telling them that’s the only Linux that exists, but I think that’d only create more problems.

Don’t even get me started on explaining how to install and update software.

That shit’s never gonna take off unless they pull their head out of their ass and remember how Reddit and Tumblr attracted their users; with high-quality amateur porn.

The first sub-reddit ever created was NSFW and Tumblr basically ceased to exist once they got rid of the porn.

But, how do you incentivize people into posting high-quality amateur porn on your site for free instead of selling it on OF or Patreon?

The platform doesn’t sell ads, and their decentralized nature prevents the fediverse as a whole from conducting business in any traditional sense.

But, even if it wasn’t for all that, as a user, I don’t have a good way to browse the available smut; I have to remember and visit each community separately, and a lot of content gets reposted. There’s no way to activate a “NSFW only” mode or anything.

Don’t get me started.

To be fair, gun violence in the US has been declining year-over-year for over half a decade now.

The number of “mass shootings” continues to rise because the definition of “mass shooting” has been steadily expanded such that it now includes self-defense shootings, gang-on-gang shootings, officer-involved shootings, shootings that happen even though no crime has occurred, and many other events that don’t typically come to mind when one hears the term “mass shooting”.

Not so. According to the Federal Firearms Act (FFA), even as a private seller, you’re still responsible for confirming the person you’re selling to is legally eligible to own what you’re selling them. In fact, there’s even a number you can call to have the same background check done they do at gun stores, it just takes a lot longer to go through the process.

If that person is a felon, and if they get caught with that gun and if they trace it back to you, you’ll be investigated for illegally selling guns to felons.

Some states don’t even allow you to privately sell firearms; you’re required to pay an FFL license holder to do the transfer or use the state police as an intermediary to transfer possession.

Of course not. Where do you apply for your license to exercise your first ammendment rights?

It depends on your definition of “gun nut”. If you’re referring to someone who enjoys the historical significance of firearms, are intrigued by the engineering involved, and/or maybe goes to the range a few times a year to target shoot for fun, then I’d say it’s likely.

If you’re referring to someone who fetishizes guns and makes it a core component of their personality, I’d say most likely not, unless you’re the type of person who already does that with other things.

No joke, the day after it happened, they said they were gonna wait a week to even vote on whether or not he was allowed to do it.

The US media is owned by the same oligarchs who benefit from his fascism. Why would they bite the hand that feeds?
