Aren’t guns supposed to be to fight tyrannical governments or something in the US? Where is that? I’ve been told by Americans that all the gun deaths were worth it in the case of what is currently happening there
Oh, yeah, sorry mate. I didn’t mean to imply you support it. I added the quotation marks because I wasn’t attributing them as your civic religions. I definitely didn’t mean to offend. Honestly, I’m just annoyed with some gun owners not taking the bare minimum protection measures, making those that do take precautions still look like twats. And, for the record, my opinion on gun control is that if you own a gun, you must control who has access to it, that you are responsible for its use/misuse, and that the governments shouldn’t have such a say on whether you’re allowed to own it. I’ve seen first hand what can happen when the citizens are fully unarmed, and I don’t particularly want to live through that again, so yes, you should be able to own a gun (safely stored).
There have been some minor positive developments at least. A few of the school shooters in recent years have had their parents arrested and locked up for proven negligence. I hope it will become a trend.
This is the correct government/law official response, in my opinion, and I hope it’ll continue. Everyone is so focused on AI and privacy (not at all insignificant concerns), that gun restrictions seem to get passed pretty easily across the globe, and those “I can own a gun no matter what and leave it on the kitchen counter if I want to” blokes make it that much easier for those laws to pass. It worries me.
One of the reasons i do have kids is because i recognise how rational people who think critically of the current world will easily adopt this logic.
Meaning the future will be largely populated by children of people who are not capable to think critically.
I did always have a child-wish, so maybe it’s part excuse, but it’s a strategic excuse. Either humanity has irreversibly failed or it has not yet meaning i have to try increase the chance on future our survival. (No pressure on them though, they get to decide their future and i might win hope if i am lucy)
Nah fuck that, we drive 200 other species to extinction per day. The faster earth shakes off its case of humanity, the better the rest of the natural worlds chances at rebounding in a million years become.
There are days i agree, others where discover a beauty that showcases our infinite potential.
Regardless the doomer perspective does not help me to fix any of our problems, all it does is give me mental illness. There is a short path between lost hope and suicide ideation. So i choose to not lose hope and continue to try to do some good to push the scale.
Nah fuck this doomer anti-child shit. You can affect positive change on a local scale. If all the intelligent, compassionate people that understand this stop having children we’re gonna be even more fucked than we are in a few generations’ time.
I don’t know how much you know about it, but we are an extinction event. We’ve released more CO2 into the atmosphere in 200 years than at any point in the earth’s history. Thousands of times faster than any other CO2 related extinction event, including volcanoes and meteors the size of countries. I’m not worried about humans in a few generations time, because there won’t be any left.
And awful. The last thing I could ever want is coming home from work exhausted and have to take care of a screaming child who shit itself.
I just come home, feed my chickens, collect eggs, let the dog outside unsupervised while I leave the front door cracked so he can come in when he’s ready and crack a beer.
You’re not wrong, but guns are a civic religion here in the US. There are lots and lots and lots of guns that are easily accessible by toddlers.
Always (and I mean always) lock up your guns
Even while shooting them?
Typical elitist liberal, where am I supposed to get the money for this gun safe? You want me to sell my brand new f-150?
150? Cuck alert!
Yes, yes I do, on account of it being stupid.
No. Don’t be stupid. Use a credit card. You can have both, while playing for neither.
Sell the guns!
wait…
That would be nice.
Not much point having them if you never take them out of the safe.
From locked safe to locked transport bags to locked vehicle compartment.
Their whole shtick is that they need it for home protection. Doesn’t make sense from that point of view.

Watch these 3 in sequence, they’ll make a lot of sense out of the murican fascination with guns.

You misunderstood. The tyrannical government they talk about is democracy.
I wish I was joking.
Yeah, that’s all just bullshit. A thought-terminating cliche.
Why are they accessible by toddlers? Have your “civic religions” not heard of a lockbox or even a high shelf?
No need to ask me questions like this as if I personally support it.
And yes, people here are aware of all the safety measures available. They just care more about convenience or otherwise don’t care at all.

I appreciate that. I hate it all too.

Here’s a tip, watch your kids, lol.
Don’t look at me. I purposely didn’t have kids. Kids are awful.
I purposely didn’t have kids, not because they’re awful, but because of unstoppable, irreversible climate change and ecocide.
As a parent i fully support this chance.

Idiocracy was a documentary.

I like the irony in your username btw.
I still have hope for a better future, I just know it’s unlikely. I do my part as well.
Thanks, lol.

Quite literally the main theme in Idiocracy
I keep hearing about this film gonna have to queue it up. It’s worth a watch right?!

But hey… If you want a positive spin on it…
The richest people in the world got a little bit more money today. So it’ll all be worth it in the end.
I’ve handled ice cores that make up a part of that research, yes. Still gonna say fuck your accelerationism doomer shit.
And awful. The last thing I could ever want is coming home from work exhausted and have to take care of a screaming child who shit itself.

Sounds nice!
It is.
A lot of work in the winter time. But the other 8-9 months out of the year is wonderful.
Same here.
Im volcel.
