Talking about a politician who insider-trades her way to tens of millions in gains each year.
The real fix here is to ban speculative trading on anything with either industrial or everyday use (like metals and real estate).

Don’t blame the president: WE decided to go in and kill a ton of Taliban, WE decided to spend actual trillions standing up and equipping an army that did not give enough of a fuck about anything but grifting. The ANA did not even try to slow down the Taliban when the US stopped acting as a backstop. Afghanistan never really thought of itself as a cohesive nation, we were never going to change their psyche.
I’d rather blame Bush and Obama for sinking trillions into helping their friends get rich at the cost of everyone pretending we were building a real country.
“should always be a consideration” is a platudinous way of avoiding the rest of what you said.
Nobody, literally nobody, teaches tactics you describe. That’s 100% Hollywood where only the writer gets to kill the hero. It’s not like moving your mouse and clicking or pressing E to melee. With adrenaline and under time pressure, you do not have the kind of fine motor coordination necessary - there have been cases of master-class competitive shooters taking an opportunity to take a shot like that because they’re basically John Wick and the technique is muscle memory, but law enforcement is militarized enough as it is, we don’t need police qualification to be a USPSA “A” classification.
Everything openly pro-gun seems to get downvoted to oblivion here, never truly “everyone” but the balance is certainly favors civilian disarmament.
I’m autistic, does that automatically make me an incompetent who can act with impunity because I can be impulsive? This logic only hurts the people you’re pretending to help. Law doesn’t care about intent except for sentencing.
Inside his house, you’d be right and the cop ran away. After he’s outside, he sees it’s a cop, and charges him in anger with a big pointy metal thing. Do you expect the cop to divine someone’s psychological diagnosis? What if it’s a brain tumor that makes him actively murderous? Is everyone in the walking dead committing murder by killing the poor zombies who cannot help themselves?
Well you’re not a cop and have a gun, so this side is the Internet already thinks you’re a fascist gun nut and belong locked away.
My question is for someone passionately arguing against keeping a gun for self defense, with the implication being it’s law, and so regardless of training and care and personal circumstances.
The pro-gun crowd doesn’t just blanket recommend guns for everyone in every situation either, so my question is specifically about how those worst case defensive scenarios are envisioned by people who eschew the idea of personally owning guns.
Can you name viable alternatives, and what’s your personal plan?
So… What’s your plan for any of those scenarios where someone wants more than just to run off with your phone/wallet/car?
(Keeping in mind the that cops have zero obligation to stop a crime in progress if there’s any potential risk to them, leading to scenarios like this: https://youtu.be/jAfUI_hETy0 )
The whole system is set up to prevent leaders who are good for the people from winning (primaries specifically, the only candidates who do well are those that corporate interests approve of). So you know we end up with a mix of bickering over inconsequential nonsense and people trying to convince us that giving up our liberties is actually good for us, to keep us away from what actually matters.
You mean like a $500 level 1 techs KVM?
Well, it is, because newsom got an exception for restaurants with a standalone “bread” menu item and some caveats that basically made it only apply to Panera Bread.
(Incidentally, This is the essence how the whole federal tax codes and tariff schedules work)
Can every KVM do this please?
What an awful name: I immediately thought it might be related to Ubisoft and had to look it up to sanity check my feeling of absolute revulsion. Such a good idea but the sentiment of that name won’t do it any favors.
Your post implies that government is good by default.
There’s hiding bad activity the government was elected to perform, like intelligence meddling in foreign affairs to protect the country’s interests, and there’s hiding activity to shield themselves from voter accountability, like using the apparatus to enrich other parts of government at a direct cost to its own citizens, or shield malicious actors from accountability.
They do lots of both, so why trust by default?
Had a dream the other day, with this exact scenario: woke up wet in the dream, then woke up for real totally dry. (Or did I wake up at all?)
Oh yes, improve security by mandating that everyone uses higher level languages that encourage importing libraries.
I hate to pull the AI card, but AI has a better chance of catching low level language type issues than forcing people to use tools they didn’t want to has of accomplishing anything positive.
By supporting a different Republican, how hard is it? In many states you can even vote in the primary of a party you’re not part of, people think it’s beneath them to pick a candidate of the party they dislike whose agenda is least-unlikable. There’s no law preventing you from switching parties on a whim.
As a Democrat since the 60’s (assuming he had opinions before being in office), wouldn’t he have been one of those segregationists? When exactly did the racists all flip over to the Republican party?
If fusion 360, solid works, OR solid Edge ran on Linux I’d deal with the annoyances.
