Neither the gun alone nor the person alone would have killed. Therefore, the dangerous thing is the COMBINATION of gun + person. In conclusion, we shouldnât ban guns, just make it illegal for people to interact with them in any way.
If youâre a procrastinator it can help to use that âskillâ to incentivize stuff like reading. I habitually put off going to sleep, so Iâll read as a way to delay bedtime. If I want to avoid working on a big ongoing frustrating project at work Iâll do a bunch of little work tasks to put it off. Using that desperation to do literally anything else to avoid a particular task kind of feels like a superpower!
It will never be exactly the same, but I feel lucky to have found something that captures at least part of the feeling of what Reddit used to be like. Thereâs the potential for it to grow into something just as cool in its own way, or maybe even better. And for now, it scratches that culture and discussion itch well enough that I donât feel the need to wade back in to Reddit at all except for searching for specific answers to niche questions.
Do you understand your opponentâs argument well enough to phrase it in words they would agree with? Because this seems like a gross mischaracterization that leads me to think youâre either ignorant of why someone would be happy heâs dead, or youâre deliberately lying.
So give it a try⌠why would a rational person actually be glad Kirk is dead? You can disagree with the reasons, but if you canât even ARTICULATE them, Iâd argue youâre the one who is either an idiot or a psychopath.
If the concern is about the longevity and reputation of the quack institution, you could point her to a woo factory with accreditation and a better reputation among the crystal crowd, like Naropa in Boulder, CO.
Iâm going to hold your hand while I say this, and I mean it with all love and sincerity. Have you been to a doctor recently? You sound schizophrenic.
I feel for all the people who will have to live with the fear and trauma of witnessing this. Iâm glad nobody else was hurt. This type of violence is a consequence of our gun-obsessed and highly politically polarized culture, which Kirk had a massive hand in making worse. I hope we can focus on the damage his rhetoric has caused and those who were taken in by him can use this as a learning moment.
Why do I love pizza? The food that is literally cheese on bread? That food? The one involving cheese? It also has bread you say? Itâs a total fucking mystery!
Yup! They have tons of cool features nowadays. Itâs a lot like wearing discreet earbuds with really good noise cancellation capabilities. They cost so fucking much though, and in the US a lot of insurance providers donât cover them or will only cover a small percentage of the cost.
But when you take them out your ears are so COMFY and nobody YELLS at you and you canât hear your husbandâs STUPID looping tiktok videos playing from the next room.
Source: hearing aid haver who sometimes takes them out at home or streams podcasts through them and just communicates through pantomime and lipreading despite my husbandâs patient exasperation.
My husband is constantly watching tiktok. The 5 second looping identical dumbshit music clips with screeching car noises on top will drive me to violence some day.
Why was the pineapple discarded? They could have eaten it đ
