But how do you deal with the horrors of all that communism?

Is it not a terrifying wasteland with less… consumer goods? I would die without my Kit Kat flavored Trix cereal.

As a choosey mom, you would be surprised how often it comes up.

~fuck you, Skippy~

We’re all Tom on OurSpace.

It’s actually illegal to eat a hot dog that is not a Koegel in Michigan.

Ah, the Fox “News” defense. Unfortunately, a lot of the people who listen to him have long since “gone full fucking stupid”.

That’s a pretty optimistic future considering current Detroit.

That’s like free beer for your dog or kitchen stove. Here in Idaho, we try not to anthropomorphize our property.

As someone with a doctorate in Metaphysics from the Universal Life Church, I concur.

Wait till they find out how hard it is to get a hair cut once “mobilized”.

All that performance enhancing Geritol.

I don’t think you’re considering the demographic.

as usual everyone having guns isn’t like makeing the place more safe.

If anything it’s more like injecting an unknown number of dangerous wildcards into an already dangerous situation.

Genuine question, how accurate are Tazers? If the partner was in a headlock, was there any risk of tazering the wrong person while the gum was more accurate?

Speaking independently of the story- Not very by comparison to firearms. Something like 50% less accurate. There’s also the issue that tasers will not always incapacitate someone. That’s a gamble if someone has a weapon and the range to use it.

Part of the rationale in using a firearm is the need to body someone before they can use a weapon where non lethal methods are just not as effective.

Of course, when you investigate yourself you will always find that you used your firearm in the appropriate situational context.

I don’t think anything could possibly chide him more than simply forgetting and continuing to call it Twitter.

You don’t use a knife on a baguette, you freak. You tear a piece of. Ever hear of breaking bread?

Fuck’s sake, heathens.

We can’t see them, so why do we assume they can see each other?

Provided that ghosts can even see or interact with other ghosts…

It’s like gallows humor.

If you’re doing it for shock value it’s banal. If you’re doing it because you envy the dead, it’s funny. It has to be funny. Because otherwise you’ve given in completely to pure misery.

Appreciate the cooler response, despite that we started by snipping at each other.

I can’t say I have the answers, but I figure it’s a start, along with greater oversight and accountability. Doing better with general education helps build more people with common sense. Better mental healthcare. Better emotional education. Gun laws that are actually common sense about restrictions without being sweeping and mindless. A more common sense gun culture.

Injecting more guns just feels like a simple answer to a complex question that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. That just creates more unpredictable factors, which isn’t something you ever want when you’re trying to secure a situation.

We’re so culturally and infrastructurally damaged that we can barely implement any solutions. I don’t know what fixes that.

I seem to recall a could of incidents of cops leaving guns in school restrooms.

But you seem to want to extrapolate more from my short comment.

I’m not anti gun at all. Might even have a few. However, having attended a rural public school I know many of my former teachers are a lot like my neighbors. Dumb, irresponsible bullies. Not all of them, but it’s not an uncommon deal.

In the end, it’s not that I think most people are dumb, just that people are people and we are our own weakest link. We’re the least reliable part of a system.

And yeah, we often implement things in the most pants shittingly stupid way possible. Especially when it’s something born or of a culture built and nurtured as a political tool.

Really, FFS, have some respect for what you’re arguing against.
