I should go to the library more

I thought it looked like a stealthy power ranger
Pleasure doing business, good sir
Sorry, what’s that in hand-egg-ball fields?
“generally speaking” as in “I pulled this stat out of my ass”
Calling you a russian bot isn’t exactly a liberal policy, is it?
If your reasoning for determining someone is “a lib” is saying that, then that’s exactly how you’re using the term.
The fact you immediately assumed I was a capitalist is a pretty compelling argument that you’re not good at determining people’s ideologies based on their unrelated complaints about your bad takes
Criticising liberal policy is absolutely reasonable
Using “the libs” as a catch-all term for “anyone I disagree with” is the marker of an incoming terrible take
Didn’t mention capitalism, and I consider myself a socialist, but go off
Word “libs” in first 5 words, opinion rejected
It’s difficult to quantify, but I think there is a compelling argument to be made - just off of my head, WW2 led to:
It’s crazy that this isn’t even the first comment I’ve seen this week arguing that the Ukraine war is somehow a conspiracy by the West to sell more weapons, as if Russia didn’t just roll up and invade them, illegally and unprovoked
That’s literally the joke though? That the expectation is a simple problem, but is actually a deeply complex system
The response to the dilemma doesn’t get to create the constraints though? Only the dilemma itself gets to set the rules.
Or - get this - it’s because I’m from a country where having more guns than citizens isn’t considered normal.
Children aren’t old enough to vote, why the fuck would you think it’s a good idea to give them easy access to ranged, deadly weapons?
“Gunphobic” is an absurd term, because a phobia implies an irrational fear, so fearing misuse of objects explicitly created for killing things isn’t exactly a “phobia” so much as it is a legitimate concern for the country with the 2nd highest rate of firearm homicides per capita on the planet.
In my country, we don’t do “school shooting drills”. We don’t need to.
Of course, the solution to children using deadly weapons is to give them to more children. Genius!
Did apple maps really not support walking until now?!
“You are welcome, comrade biden”
Bold to go with the pro-auth-left take
I’m just going to ignore the long responses to stuff I didn’t claim in the first place
Okay but this isn’t “oh no, there are tankies around”, it’s the admin of one of the largest Lemmy instances systematically suppressing information about massacres and genocide.
There’s quite a big gap between banning “opinions you don’t like” and defederating from a systemically auth-left instance, in the same way that defederating from an auth-right instance would be a no-brainer.
I put my steel in the fridge and it’s completely dried out now
Granted, it wasn’t very wet when it went in
