What came first, the chicken or the egg? Meaningless semantics; both are at play when it comes to someone that is suicidal. But I can assure you, suicide rates would be positively (downward trend) impacted by any sort of gun ban. I am speaking as person who has been suicidal. If I had had access to guns at certain points in my past, I likely wouldn't be here today.

And those shouldn't count? Do you have any idea how much easy access to guns increases suicides? Many, many suicidal people would still be alive without the easy access to guns in the US. It's one of the easiest and painless ways to kill yourself.

I feel like Switch successor "leaks" have become meaningless noise at this point. There have just been so, so many reported "leaks" and supposed possible release dates/years. I don't even pay any attention to it anymore.

The supreme court even as a concept is one of the most asinine yet accepted institutions in the world. On par with the Catholic church, but so much worse because it actually has enormous and direct power over 330+ million people. I am dreaming and pining for the day that someone in power, most likely a president, just legitimately tells them to fuck off. They have no enforcement power and they fucking know it. I'm yearning for someone to have the courage, but it's as clear as it possibly can be that it certainly won't be a Democrat.

Do you have any idea how influential media is? When you have MSNBC and CNN plus various others talking about how Biden is the only viable option again and again and again, you can't ignore the influence of that. He won South Carolina after the endorsement of a very popular and influential corporate Democrat there. The media along with the DNC saw that as the opportunity to rally around Biden. Everyone drops out and endorses him, and there you go. I'm oversimplifying a bit for the sake of brevity, obviously, but bottom line, Biden was chosen and supported to defeat Bernie because they couldn't accept the possibility of a politician like Bernie winning. He was a threat to capital and he was extinguished from the race.

Because Democrats love losing. This is literally something that has been seen time and time again. They make more money through fundraising when they're in the minority. They care about nothing but capital.

Are there any direct download sites that accept uploads? I'm not able to torrent for long periods due to limited storage space. I upload books pretty regularly, but I don't know of a place to do that for movies/shows. I'm very familiar with archive.org, but I don't know the ends and outs with uploading when it comes to copyright. I obviously don't want it to be taken down.

Totally normal "democracy", working very well. 🙃

Would love to hear about what kinds of things you've been doing!

[-] lunar_parking@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

It's only healthy to hear opinions that you disagree with when those opinions don't include the dehumanization of others.

Are you referring to Imzy?

There has seemingly been a big upswing in labor action in the last few years in the United States, and not much makes me happier than seeing more of it.
