This comment made me sad.

Thank you for detailed explanation, I do see your point that government is not as omnipotent and superior as I might have made it out to be.

Could you just clarify, are you arguing in favor of Second Amendment or against it? I can see it being used in both cases

I agree with you that the government is losing legitimacy. However, I'm deeply confused and frustrated by the second part of your argument. The United States was literally built by immigrants from its very beginning. People moved there seeking a future in a brave new world, and this diversity made the country a cultural and intellectual leader in music, literature, science, and finance. Yet now, immigration is somehow viewed as negative, largely because a few loud voices claim immigrants are criminals or spread absurd rumors like them eating dogs.

What's even more troubling is how politically divided the country has become. The simple act of helping a fellow human— a fellow American—avoid unjust ICE arrests is labeled a "liberal" issue. In my view, watching Americans being essentially kidnapped by government-paid agents is exactly the kind of tyranny the Second Amendment was meant to prevent. This division and inaction feel entirely pointless and contrary to the values the nation was founded on if i am to be convinced by conservative side.

While I can emphasize with people being panicked and scared of consequences for doing a major fuckup, I believe that its in those moments its most important to stay on course of what is moraly correct.

As most people, I have had moments where I did not live up to the words above, and those are the usually moments that bother me the most on sleepless nights. The moments when my actions did not live up to my morals.

One aspect of the U.S. Second Amendment that I struggle to understand is how owning firearms can be seen as a check against government power in the modern era. No matter how much money an individual spends on collecting weapons, they can never match the resources of a government with access to advanced technology like orbital GPS networks, fighter jets, drones, bioweapons, logistics, and nuclear weapons.

When the Amendment was written, weaponry was still in its early stages of development, and the assumption was that a well-armed populace could, with sufficient numbers, overthrow a tyrannical regime. However, in today's world, this seems unrealistic. Even if someone owned a thousand .50 caliber Desert Eagles, it wouldn’t make a significant difference against such overwhelming governmental power.

I choose not to think to overthink this. Bringing up a kid has its rewards and as comic points out, sacrifices. Most parents gladly do whatever necessary so their kid has the best life in this world, and this comic just pokes fun of a phase of our life where we think more of our selves than what our parents offer up for us.

Bad taste? Sure, but sometimes bad jokes are the ones that get the point across and lit most discussion around the topic.

Just my 2 cents.

Okay, so I gotta admit, that article about the Switch 2 being not-so-bad actually convinced me. They're right, it's awesome for parties and two-player gaming on the go. I didn't realize the hardware could do 3.2 teraflops docked (1.6 undocked)—the Deck only does 1.6!

Yeah, games are pricey, but I think Nintendo delivers good entertainment value.

Then she is doing a wonderful job of it!

Lady, wtf do you mean we have not been questioning? Have you seen what dude has been doing for the last few weeks alone??

I really hope she is just bating other profile politions to speak up, otherwise this is just plain stupid.

Goodreads sucks, it so unstable and slow. However, all ny friends use it and i have never been able to not find a book on there. I tried bollwyrm and my issue with it was lack of solid recommendations to what to read next.

This was so frustrating to read!

Thank you, this is actually sojbd advice. We did and thee is nothing to worry about, she is just aloof sometimes.

My lovely, beautiful wife usual scares the shit out of me when she sneezes. I have never heard any man go as loud, ever. Some people just have amazing lung capacity and vocal chords!

Visit northern country in summer like Norway, Sweden, Finland or Iceland. Its quite tranquil actually.

My dog can sometimes space out and stare at nothing during the day. I would shit my pants if that happend at night.

Sorry, I guess?

I don't know what to tell you buddy, because AI are trained on how people write on the internet?

So, hypothetically, if a friend of mine wanted to play some switch games on his/her steam deck, where would be the best place to... aquire said games? Again, purely hypothetical.

Ubisoft: 'You don’t own your games.' Me: 'Cool, so when I uninstall The Crew, I’ll send you an invoice for storage fees since it’s technically YOUR property.'"

Also, The Crew was supposed to last until 2099? Bro, Ubisoft can’t even keep their servers alive for a weekend, let alone 76 years.

1 gram of antimatter stored? Forget the explosion—imagine the insurance premium on that thing.
