That’s fair. I can’t help myself. The host also does The Daily Beans News with Swearing. She does an a great job of informing. They also get spicy on Jack too. Humours and irreverent but in a good way.
At issue during Tuesday’s arguments is a 1980 law known as the Classified Information Procedures Act. That statute governs how classified information is handled by the parties in a criminal prosecution. It’s meant to balance a defendant’s right to access evidence that prosecutors intend to use in a case against the government’s interest in safeguarding sensitive and secret information.
Hey that $3 buys me the ability to daydream about my life as a multimillionaire for a couple days, before I crash back to reality slightly less satisfied than before!
The new jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing would be the third highest in U.S. history and will keep growing until someone wins. Ticket buyers have a chance at $1 billion paid out in yearly increments or a $516.8 million one-time lump sum before taxes.
You need to blow some, more a a psychological reward than anything. The problem is definitely not increasing your standard of living to unsustainable levels, it’s not mega yacht money, but you could have a nice boat.
There was a short story or thought experiment or something about this man who won a silk robe. To properly enjoy it he wanted to have a fancy tea served in a fancy pot. Then he wanted a nice chair to be in. It kept growing and growing. I don’t remember the details but it is definitely a good illustration of lifestyle inflation.
The Biden Administration is unveiling a new cybersecurity label for smart devices today. In a press briefing, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said the new label, called the US Cyber Trust Mark, will signify that devices bearing it meet security standards based on those established in a report by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The voluntary program is expected to be in place in 2024, with the labels hitting devices “soon after.”
I don’t own a car and walk or bike everywhere I need to. I buy clothes and things I need second hand and support local shops when it comes to food and drink. I live in a small apartment/flat and recycle everything I can.
I don’t even care about the state of the world anymore. I’ve given up - the world is fucked. Can’t do anything about it, and I’m doing everything I can - so I’ll just carry on and live my life. Yeah, people will be fucked down the line, but what am I supposed to do more than what I’m already doing?
Talk about it and get angry. Show your sphere of influence how concerned you are; friends and family will pay more attention to you than they will to any scientist, celebrity or politician.
I'm somewhat in the same boat. I do what I can but now I'm disenfranchised from the whole engagement. I'll continue to be a steward for the environment but don't expect me to be optimistic or angered by the state of affairs.
Okay, well until we as a country determine that the constitution needs amending and we want to repeal the 2nd amendment, it’s the constitution that is the most important part of the law that every state must abide by.
I like that you didn’t respond to the rest of my comment that showed how stupid yours was. What do you think of the criticism I had for your comment, do you just want to ignore my points of
You’re strawmanning the argument
This isn’t the scenario’s the democrats are targeting when they want to ban AR’s.
If a different weapon was used, do you think it’s a good argument to ban said weapon?
You can’t see a scenario where instead of a gun the kid had, he’s playing with a knife and cuts the 1 year old? Have you been around many kids that age?
But, please entertain me, if it was a knife, should we be trying to ban knives?
It’s a ‘hypothetical’ you keep bringing up in relation to something that actually happened.
Clearly - the point is that guns are a tool used by tens of millions of americans to mainly provide food and protection for their families.
Not unlike knives.
Just because you don’t use guns, doesn’t mean they aren’t useful or even pivotal in other peoples lives. I’m not a carpenter, but if there was someone getting killed with a hammer, I don’t call for hammers to be banned. It’s a tool used in other peoples livelihoods.
And I still never said anything about any bans. Were you going to acknowledge that?
You responded to me in a chain of comments about banning guns. If you didn’t want to talk about it, why’d you respond to it?
I responded to your repeated silly “hypothetical” about a thing you can’t demonstrate actually happens in response to something that actually has happened many times. If you don’t want to be criticized, don’t compare the reality to your imagination.
Okay, so you don’t know what a hypothetical question is.
“A hypothetical question is one based on supposition, not facts. They are typically used to elicit opinions and beliefs about imagined situations or conditions that don’t exist.”
HAHAHA verbatim, dog. All you did was prove you don’t know what a hypothetical is.
I know exactly what a hypothetical situation is. I also know why it’s silly to use one in comparison to something that has actually happened many times.
Is a pump-action shotgun not an armament? A bolt-action rifle? A revolver? I’m fine with an 18yo buying one of these. You want something more powerful then show you’re responsible enough to own it.
Again, it’s gun nuts like you that make people like me say fuck the second.
HAHAHA I own my dads old little .22. I’m not a gun nut, just empathetic enough with people that have different lifestyles to know that tens of millions of americans provide food and protection for themselves with guns, and that someone using a tool incorrectly across the nation shouldn’t make me hate and ban them.
Knives are in nearly every household yet accidental deaths from laceration are not very common. Maybe they’re not nearly as prevalent in media so kids don’t think to “play” with knives. Maybe they’re just not as deadly as guns (they’re absolutely not).
The biggest difference between knives (plus the dozens of other dangerous household items that any normal person owns) and guns is the purpose. Guns are intended to harm living things. I cut things almost daily, but in 40 years I’ve never had a situation where I thought a gun would’ve improved the outcome.
The implication with what they said is that if there was a repeated incident of toddlers accidentally using knives to kill siblings then there probably would be some type of action. But a three year old can’t harm much with a knife,not like with a firearm
Yup, actually putting the gun in a locked safe or maybe a trigger lock or a safety switch or taking out the bullets, nothing else would work… responsible gun owners are not a problem. Stop creating an issue where there isn’t one. Gun control isn’t just banning guns.
but way to specialized. Almost nobody really needs them.
Every tool is specialized. How many different screws do they make that need different screw drivers?
And the fact that you can’t empathize with any other lifestyle than your, likely big city, lifestyle is absurd. Do you not know people rely on hunting for food? For protection?
But knives? I use knives daily for food prep/cooking
What if a rural individual hunts every day?
And opening boxes
Guards his animals every day. You ever try to get a hungry coyote off your chickens?
kill someone
See right there, that’s my point. You don’t see it as a tool. You see it as a violent weapon that is only made to kill ‘someone,’ you’re so limited in your world view that you can’t even comprehend someone hunting for a deer to provide for their family. All you know is that you can buy some deer meet at stores.
And that’s the problem with you - you have no empathy for others.
Guns are useful. Guns provide food for millions of american families. They provide protection for ones home. They provide protection for ones animals.
You want me to fight a coyote attacking my chickens with a knife?
You may live in a lifestyle that you don’t need to hunt for food, you don’t have a chicken or your family to protect, likely a big city. What about everyone else that doesn’t share your lifestyle?
I think you’ve lost what it means to be human. I understand, you buy your eggs from the market, does it make someone inherently worse that they get their eggs from their chickens?
