Ho ho ho, now I have a machineBUN!

There's a huge difference between someone putting a webcam on their house for personal security and an AI driven face tracking camera that purposefully records every person that wanders into its field of vision being setup in a public park and on every street corner in the country.

I'm a Ky native, I grew up just a couple towns over from Jim Beam, I've built equipment for the bourbon industry, I have friends and family that currently work at distilleries. Keep up the boycott Canada, make it hurt. The majority of my fellow Kentuckians voted for Trump. Despite the rest of us warning them what would happen, we pleaded with them even, but here we are. They voted for greed and bigotry, and I have 0 sympathy for the ones that are losing their jobs over this. After all, it's what they voted for.

I was thinking more in the sense of the villain giving their little speech to a protagonist that hasn't ever killed anyone that "If you kill me then your just like me, you'll be equally bad even though I've killed thousands and my death would actually be of benefit to the world."

That trope in movies always bugs me. It's such a stupid false equivalency.

I would gladly give it to every transphobe. Maybe then they'd develop a shred of empathy.

I just bought a new laptop for school as we are required to use windows. So thanks so much for this.

I feel so affirmed ❤

This is an oddly affirming statistic. We can now definitively prove that trans women are women, because they make 17-18% less than men.

To add to that, the whole short barrel rifle/shotgun thing is a mistake anyways. When they were first hammering out the national firearms act in the 1930s they were going to outlaw handguns entirely. To cover their bases they wanted to ensure that no one would simply cut down a rifle or shotgun to make a "pistol" they put in a section outlawing those too. After a lot of lobbying from the gun industry they ditched the legislation on handguns, but more or less forgot to remove the parts about SBRs and SBSs.

Pistols also have maneuverability on their side. Moving around a house is more difficult with something as long as a shotgun, which is fine if like you said you post up at the stairs or a choke point. But I have kids, if someone comes in my house, getting to them and ensuring they're safe is my priority. Pistols also give you more rounds and easier reloads. It all depends on individual preference and situation. You're right pistols take more practice to use effectively, but they're way more versatile.

I didn't think it was your take, I was just adding to it. But yea, people do as they do lol.

Yea, the whole "sound of a pump action" is really the last thing you want in an SD situation. Its always better to have surprise on your side.

Modifications generally don't make a gun more dangerous, they're generally about making them easier to operate for the user. Different grips to fit bigger or smaller hands, flashlights so you can see what your shooting in a dark house, different sights for different situations or eye conditions etc. I for one have astigmatism so many standard sights don't work for me and I'm also very tall so a longer butt stock enables me to be more accurate and stable.

I'm a leftist and life long gun owner, I go to the range every other weekend and enjoy it greatly as a hobby. I shoot competively in both long range and pistol competitions. I also think we are in dire need of much strickter gun control here in the US. I would say a full 80% of gun owners should not be allowed to have them due to a lack of training and understanding of firearms and their use.

If you're thinking about buying a gun I would suggest first going to a range and taking a basic firearms class. I would suggest finding one of the corporate owned chains simply because your less likely to run into the wrong (far right wing) type of gun enthusiast. RangeUSA is a good option. But really any range will have classes available for first time gun owners, usually for under $100. They also offer rentals once you've familiarized yourself with safe operation and handling. For home self defence purposes I always reccomend a mid or fullsize 9mm handgun. They have relatively little recoil, are plentiful, cheap, and easy to handle.

If passed, this would effectively ban trans healthcare. It would cut funding to any hospital or medical facility that provides gender affirming care. That means only private practices would be able to offer gender affirming care, and most of them would probably have to stop providing it. If they continued to, they would be ineligible to receive payment from medicare or medicaid for any other patients they see, not just the trans ones. The administration is talking about labeling all trans people as terrorists, why would you think they wouldn't ban trans healthcare with a smile on their shitty faces?

I definitely will, I've still got 2 years left so there plenty of time to switch majors if I want to.

Yea, keeping track of dues dates has been a big struggle. I try to use the calendar app on my phone to set a reminder for pretty much everything. My classes are all MWF so it designate Tues, Thurs, and Sat as dedicated homework days before I leave for work. I was torn between mechanical and electrical, I did mechanical because its where my strengths lie, but I'm still tempted to switch just because I want to learn more about electrical.

I'm 36 and doing the same thing as you right now, fulltime job and full time school for mechanical engineering. Its tough but I just try to keep grinding. I don't look too far into the future otherwise it starts to feel overwhelming, I try to plan for getting through the next week before worrying about the next. I also take frequent breaks when studying, if I start to feel molasses brained ( I feel like mine starts overheating like an old car lkl) I find a stopping point and do something mindless for a little bit before diving back in. I did switch to ER adderal and found that helped me have a longer runtime between breaks. Keep at it though, you can do it and when you do, it will be all the sweeter.

I sincerely hope someone doxxes the little snitch so they can catch all the karma they have coming their way.
