Assuming it perforates the intestine - big infection from fecal matter getting into the abdominal cavity. It’s called peritonitis, and AFAIK it’s pretty much fatal if untreated. Severe abdominal pain as the infection spreads, all the vomiting and diarrhea cleans you out, and then the infection starts to shut your intestines and the rest of your organs fail while you go into sepsis and die. It’s not fast, either. It can take several days.

They don’t always have to fire a gun. Choking people to death is just as effective. Sitting on them. Tazeing them repeatedly.

Driving unaware posts.

A lot? Trichinosis has almost been eliminated in pork. An old study looking for a particular parasite found little to none depending on the product. Here is another study showing very low incidence of parasites in meat products, but also includes fresh produce in the study which had higher rates than some meats.

So I disagree that “A lot” is correct.

If the news could get their collective heads out of their asses and stop validating the right wing freakshow by giving them tons of airtime, then yes, students could also potentially sway the election.

“Xitter”?

Reads like “chitter”, sounds creepy enough.

President Felonius Trump.

They kill the atheists first.

I think you’re right. I messed up. I read it as the rights of the LGBTQ were enforced by restricting others.

1944 was how long ago? That’s how long it took for a jewish person to sound just like a rabid Nazi.

Probably the 90’s in the US. For context I’m an '80s kid.

The dust from deregulation had mostly settled, healthcare hadn’t skyrocketed, education and homes were still mostly affordable. Union busting and offshoring had settled down a little. Bankruptcies crushing retirements, too. You thought that the traditional paths of career, maybe getting married, and buying a house were still on the table. Politics were pretty stable and it was probably the last time you could make the argument that “both sides” were kinda the same. We were kinda coasting after the close of the Cold War…sure there were some skirmishes, but nothing huge. The were the “good old days” where shit was just going OK for the most part (please don’t pedantically point out what was wrong with society, no period is perfect, it’s just that the '90s had a few less bumps in the road). The internet was becoming a more widespread thing, technology was advancing rapidly. You could still save the Earth with a little recycling, Climate Change wasn’t obviously having effects as veiwed by the average person.

Followed by the '00s where we got hammered really fast with dot-com bust, 9/11, recession after recession, decades of war, politics shifting hard right, rapidly rising costs thanks to speculation and corporate mergers…it’s been pretty unsettled for quite a while and for those entering the workforce now it’s rough.

Yeah…the '90s. Things were still looking up until TSHTF in '00s and after.

In Boeing’s case that’s probably the reality of the last couple decades. The beancounters have gotten in the way of Safety.

Frittering my life away, latibulating on my corner computer, earning skins, frippery, for my gaming character, while wearing my haku…a gaming headset.

Go ahead and buy. Shares generally tank pretty quick after IPO for companies that don’t actually make anything, the dot bust ensured that. Only time will tell if Reddit shares improve or flounder around not going anywhere. An additional thought - Reddit would do well to do things like get rid of old.reddit, go after ad blockers, and maybe implement a “verified” fee program like Xwitter to boost their stock potential. And also ensure I’ll never return.

But according to Putin Russia is an awesome place. How could they need assistance with military hardware from Iran?

I’m 100% for mandatory safe storage laws and prosecution of those who fail to do so, especially if that failure leads to injury, death, of theft of said firearm and that gun is used in a crime.

Unsecured handguns account for the majority of firearm suicide deaths in the United States, study finds

Overall, firearms used in unintentional injury deaths were often stored loaded (74%) and unlocked (76%) and were most commonly accessed from nightstands and other sleeping areas (30%).

It is difficult to ascertain the exact number of guns that are stolen from individuals in the United States because many of these thefts are not reported to law enforcement. However, estimates from a number of survey studies indicate that roughly 200,000 to 400,000 guns are stolen from individuals each year…Whether taken from gun stores or from individual gun owners, a firearm is stolen every 2 minutes. These stolen guns are often diverted directly into illegal trafficking networks and end up being used in the commission of violent crimes.

The Largest Source of Stolen Guns? Parked Cars.

All stolen guns are available to criminals by definition. Recent studies of adult and juvenile offenders show that many have either stolen a firearm or kept, sold, or traded a stolen firearm: According to the 1991 Survey of State Prison Inmates, among those inmates who possessed a handgun, 9% had acquired it through theft, and 28% had acquired it through an illegal market such as a drug dealer or fence. Of all inmates, 10% had stolen at least one gun, and 11% had sold or traded stolen guns.

The Southern [of the USA] region has the highest percentage of house-holds with firearms and the least safe storage practices (Okoro et al. 2005). Not surprisingly, most Southern states are “exporters” of guns traced in crime (Mayors Against Illegal Guns 2010).

So the assholes that need to have guns with them, constantly available, unsecured, because the “might need to access them instantly” or some such nonsense are the very people feeding guns into criminals hands and causing death and injury via accidental shootings and suicides.

Soon as he dies in an arctic circle prison I’ll agree with him.

Burgers, hot dogs, onion rings, kielbasa, the -wursts, sweet mustard on German Pretzels; goes into several salad dressings, marinades, or things like egg salads; sandwiches, corn dogs…I’m sure there’s more I just can’t think of it.

Running wires is expensive. That’s why most people opt for wireless, and on top of that, the convenience systems like Ring offer with their app, no NVR/DVR, none of the typical security system hardware cluttering things up.

Don’t argue on the internet.

It’s not easy to find people who are willing to talk with you, most want to talk at you, and aren’t interested in good faith discussion. State your case, clearly and with sources as needed, and don’t waste your time with your opponent’s butwhatabout, JAQing off, irrelevant exceptions, and goalpost moving.
