Like trying to make a movie out of the Bible, cover to cover

The irony of losing your job to Larry Ellison’s shit politics, then moving to WB just in time for Ellison to buy that studio, too.

Survivorship Bias. The boomers alive today are the ones that weren’t killed by wars, pollution, and poverty

This is actually your fault, btw

Boomers haven’t been a voting majority in over a decade. JD Vance is a Vice President by, of, and for millennials.

No Democrat would EVER DISBAND USAID.

MONEY PIT: The Monstrous Failure of US Aid to Afghanistan

What Democrats did with USAID was worse that disbanding it.

There are some alarmingly reliable 3d printed 9mm semi-auto carbines that can be constructed with zero gun parts

I have seen 3D guns in action and they have never failed to disappoint.

Maybe a professional gunsmith can turn cheap extruded plastic into something useful. But then they can just make a real proper gun.

You’re correct about ammo, but I’m pretty sure making a bomb without reliable, stable explosive compounds is extremely dangerous

Sure. Both of these hobbies are of dubious benefit and serious safety issues

Democrats would kill less people

Would they? Who is counting?

Did Obama kill fewer people than Bush? Before Libya, I would have agreed he was the lesser evil. Afterwards, much harder to say.

Did Biden save any lives when he refused to prosecute anyone in the Trump administration after taking office?

Either way, you’re not winning me over when you promise N-1 dead people.

Theism means accepting the claim that there is at least one deity.

Are you going to define Animists and Daoists as Atheists?

The criminals already have the guns

Again, delusional. Convicts are consistently some of the least well-armed portions of the population, precisely because we have gun control laws that still specifically target them.

Straight up coming down to “Do you have an industrialized plumbing system?” and “Do your buildings have A/C?”

So much of the future of humanity will be dictated by the machinery that guarantees access to the basic conditions of life. One reason why I am not bullish on the future of the American state. We’re a country that loves social murder. We will gleefully box in our neighbors and let mother nature finish them off. Turn every minority neighborhood and rural community into the Superdome during Katrina.

Congratulations, Iran. You just saved a Black Hawk pilot’s life.

There’s “playing with fire” and then there’s “using a lit match to check the bottom of a gas tank”

This would be funnier if we weren’t deploying massive AI data-centers to destroy the last surviving mega-fauna.

Classic Authoritarian Log Flume

Seems like you don’t really need to fork the system until someone applies DOB field in a meaningful way.

Even in such a situation, I would suspect the short-term solution is simply a patch or crack to neuter the functionality that the DOB field is supposed to implement. A full fork seems unnecessary, even counterproductive, since it would define your OS as meaningfully distinct (and noticeably out of compliance) with a standard installation.

What’s being described right now is just an optional date-of-birth field.

The timing is dogshit.

Like getting handed a grenade pin and told “It’s a fucking pin! It’s harmless, what are you worried about?”

The people of Myanmar used 3D printed guns to overthrow their government.

No they didn’t. They’re in the midst of a horrifying civil war with no end in sight. The current military junta is massacring people by the score with airstrikes. Over 5M people have been displaced.

I’m starting to think you just don’t know what you’re talking about.

Are you looking into a mirror?

Was ICE bad before? Hell yeah. But it is absolutely worse now.

Will a future Democrat disband ICE or simply turn a blind eye to what is quickly becoming a rogue paramilitary? We’re watching politicians like Tim Walz and Tina Kotek roll over in the face of de facto martial law in their states. I don’t see any evidence to suggest a future Democratic President will rein in ICE now, given that they were unwilling to do it under Biden or Obama.

there’s a lot of support from Republicans on child rape that I just don’t see from Democrats.

If you haven’t seen it, you aren’t looking. Half of Epstein’s Black Book was Democrats. Hell, Trump was a Democrat up until 2009. Hillary and Obama were both happy to turn a blind eye to human trafficking run out of Mar-a-Lago, when they needed Donald to donate a big cup of money.

Team up with Israel to go to war with Iran

Obama Order Sped Up Wave of Cyberattacks Against Iran

How Biden pushed Israel to calibrate its strikes on Iran

Be a child sex predator and be Epstein’s best friend.

Bill Clinton. Michael Bloomberg. Larry Summers. The list goes on. Epstein was another liberal mega-donor and was more than happy to gather kompromat on liberals and conservatives alike.

And, again, it cannot bare repeating enough. Donald Trump was a registered Democrat until 2009.

In a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer: “In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat”, explaining: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats…But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we’ve had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans."In a July 2015 interview, Trump said that he has a broad range of political positions and that “I identify with some things as a Democrat.”

He was a pass-thru between Epstein and the Democratic Party - particularly Hillary Clinton, during her tenure as NY Senator. There is ample reason to believe he ran in 2016 as a cat’s paw of the Hillary campaign, intending to sabotage the GOP from within.

Executive order two genders to fuck over trans people.

Gavin Newsom

Eric Adams

Oh shit, I can keep going?

I don’t doubt it. But it looks like it’s all bullshit.

at some point NOT owning a gun is the bigger risk

The person you have the highest likelihood of being shot by is yourself.

Gun ownership is more strongly correlated with suicide than lack of ownership is correlated with being murdered.

Trying it during a time where we can 3D print guns

Firstly, you don’t need a 3D printer to make a gun. Any plumbing store in America can sell you the supplies you need to make a gun.

Secondly, 3D printers make shit guns. Plastic has a low melting point and high elasticity. You’ll get off two shots if you’re lucky, before your bullets are firing sideways.

Thirdly, you don’t just need a gun. You need ammunition. And ammunition is much more difficult/hazardous to produce.

If you’re crazy enough to decide you want to become a revolutionary/reactionary anti-government insurgent, you’d be stupid to try and make your own gun from scratch. Bombs are easier to manufacture, simpler to deploy, and much more effective against the kind of people an anti-government activist has beef with.
