Really appreciate it. I've been telling myself I need to start adding to the emails of my reps, and used this list as the reason to start.

Right. I just mean that the actual journalist may not be allowed to cite actual sources. Corporate might forbid it like how they restrict so many other things.

Edit: One of my personal conspiracy theories as an alternative to Hanlon's Razer.

For temporary solutions, yes. They have three major, perpetual issues that are not solved by tourism money.

  1. Rising sea levels.
  2. Too many boats making waves rocking the foundations more.
  3. Too much groundwater extraction (seawater pressure will push inland with less groundwater pressure).

Tbf I'm pretty sure journalists only link to other news sites as sources because of corporate. Monetary interests and all that. Bounce the traffic and misinformation around.

Oh, your brain is amazing, sure. Buuuut get Neuralink and let me plug my game in while you try to render the raytracing from foliage collision and I'm pretty sure you would crash like a Windows RT.

Yes. A shotgun was fired through the door at the officers, prompting the request for "cover". Luckily, no one was injured as there were kids inside. This except comes from the Army War College in Pennsylvania.

Police officers responded to a domestic dispute, accompanied by marines. They had just gone up to the door when two shotgun birdshot rounds were fired through the door, hitting the officers. One yelled cover me!' to the marines, who then laid down a heavy base of fire. . . . The police officer had not meant 'shoot' when he yelled 'cover me' to the marines. [He] meant . . . point your weapons and be prepared to respond if necessary. However, the marines responded instantly in the precise way they had been trained, where 'cover me' means provide me with cover using firepower. . . . over two hundred bullets [were] fired into that house."[1]

Remember when dolphins actually returned to the city for a little while? That's how it's supposed to be for citizens. Bezos should just tour somehwere that needs more tourism. I think the deep sea is open.

That's generous. I'd go with "penal" system, because they only care about taking and punishing. No justice without reform, rehab, and introspection.

Ohhh. I didn't notice that bit. Same.

Yes. I mean this as more of a, "I trust him so little that I automatically pick up the smallest detail and assume he is still lying."

I would normally give someone the benefit of the doubt.

Well, as much as I'd love to believe him, I can't. I start immediately asking questions, like, why is every word either all caps or start with a capital letter except for the word "negative"? Could be the way that lab does it, but almost nowhere else seems to.

Did someone hurt you?

Edit: checked your bio. Someone definitely hurt you.

I've been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?

Not looking for a debate here, discuss cold drinks vs hot drinks instead. Appreciate either answer. ❤️

Edit: Thanks for the answers all. I'm super proud how productive eveyone kept this talk. I figured most of you had very different experiences than I. I'll share my most recent experience. I don't have a firearm, but have considered it after being trained enough. When sharing this with "normal" people around town, I had multiple people offer to sell or gift me a gun where the serial number was scratched off and non-traceable. I ofter heard, "oh man, yeah. You need a gun." I have literally never needed one. The fact that people offer to give me one when I don't have a liscence or training shows the mindset of the minority here and how much of a problem a few individuals can make to safety within the current system.

I didn't actually watch it. No idea if it was good or not.
