Teen Vogue as a resource? Seriously?

Nah, the trick is to have a box lid or other cat trap next to the keyboard. It's easier to trick them to thinking they won a different game.

No worries! I know it's hard to convey those levels of nuance in these conversations, especially with how quick everyone is to jump to one side or the other.

No, I haven't been, and that's why I said personally. The reason why I never wanted a gun in my house is because of looking at the statistics of who is by far the most likely to get shot by that gun. [Either me or my spouse.]

I am all for responsible gun ownership and made the personal choice not to get one because the threat of my government has not been a credible threat. That is changing, which is why I am trying to decide to make the personal choice to get one. The increased risk to both myself and my spouse is nearing the tipping point where NOT having one is a greater risk from my government.

Around 2% of your DNA comes from Neanderthals. If we were scared off by them, it wouldn't have been for too long before we decided the sex was worth it.

I have been staunchly anti-gun personally, but it feels like it's time to arm myself. The threats are becoming credible.

I have yet to meet someone...

Now you have. And as someone who gets panic attacks from them, kindly go fuck yourself.

Wait until ButtHurt hears that that's literally what we're talking about and their 'gotcha' is meaningless bullshit.

Right now, two things are true:

The president ordering the US military to kill US citizens on US soil is legal and cannot be challenged.

One of the presidential candidates is promising to be a dictator on day 1.

This isn't a drill. We're 4 months away from knowing if 6 months away is our democracy's end.

I remember reading that when national parks tried to make a 'bear-proof' trashcan, they found that there was a larger overlap between the smartest bear and the stupidest human to make a viable product.

I feel like it's a similar situation here. The smartest kid and the stupidest adult are far more similar than we'd like to admit.
