Probably national parks

Actually no, he is not. He’s just a general piece of shit, but nothing proves he’s a pedophile.

mnemonicmonkeys, to piracy in Tachiyomi replacement is out

During setup there will be a page that asks if you want to create or restore from backups. If you hit “restore”, it’ll ask you to point it to the backups folder inside the Tachiyomi folder. Tachiyomi has backups set up by default, but if it’s disabled you can go to the settings to create a backup

Third, many liberals are openly willing to kill a hobby that most gun owners enjoy without harming anyone

I honestly think a lot of the left’s stance on gun control stems from culture wars. Otherwise you wouldn’t see people reacting so much to pointless things like foregrips, suppressors, or painting guns black.

laws against people with histories of serious psychiatric illness having access

Tbf this is already a thing. If you’ve been involuntarily committed to a mental hospital (morning brain is preventing me from having the right term, sorry) that will show up on a federal background check.

Also, interestingly this and red flag laws can have a negative consequence: it can lead to individuals trying to hide their symptoms and not seek treatment to avoid having their rights taken away, which merely exasperates the problem.

I’m not opposed to having restrictions on gun ownership based on mental health, but there needs to be some way for affected individuals to gain their rights back after seeking treatment (similar to felons regaining their voting rights after a few years), in combination to making said treatment significantly easier to access (preferrably bia universal healthcare).

And they do it so they can take down malicious copycats on Google Play

mnemonicmonkeys, to asklemmy in What are the facts you remember for no specific reason

Okay?

mnemonicmonkeys, to asklemmy in What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of?

Almost no one else has ever heard of it.

I dare you to go to NoncredibleDefense and repeat that

I agree it’s a cultural issue, but where we’re gonna disagree is that the culture that promotes this degree of gun violence is one that loves guns so much it absolutely refuses to try and take any steps to fix the issue.

I wholly disagree. What Europeans don’t seem to understand about gun violence is that the largest predictor is the gini coefficient of an area, which is a measure of income inequality. The US has the highest gini coefficient of any developed/western country, and because of that correlation you see the largest rates of violent crime.

If you want to want to reduce the rates of violent crime down to match that of Canada your best bet would be to enact legistation to reduce the gini coefficient to a comparable level to Canada. Achieving that by reducing gun ownership in the US would require removing more guns than actually exist in the country.

Furthermore, you don’t actually know what leftists want in regards to gun control, since you’ve likely heard a lot of it from right-leaning sources

No. Just… no. First off, this discussion started off about Democrats, not leftists. And they are definitely not the same.

Second, go look up quotes from Democratic political candidates like Beto O’Rourke. There’s a rather prominent one where he promised to take away people’s ARs - exactly what you’re claiming doesn’t happen.

Third, go look up some of the legislation that has been pushed into Congress over the years. Particularly House Bill 127 in 2021.

I am what the Americans consider VERY far left (A centrist by European standards)

I’m really tired of this claim, because it’s not true and it gets more superfluous the more it gets repeated. The US has a decent share of extreme left-wing individuals, even by Europe’s standards. I know several avowed socialists and communists and the only reason I don’t know more is because I don’t want to wade further into that mess. Not only that, conservative parties in Europe have been growing in popularity, especially in Italy and Spain.

Tbf, chugging over a gallon of distilled water in one go will actually kill you though

mnemonicmonkeys, to asklemmy in Any good YouTube recommendations?

How is science and futurism with Isaac Arthur (SFIA) not getting more love?

Tbf, Isaac Arthur will sometimes propose ideas that absolutely no hope of working such as orbital loops. While I get that he’s not an engineer, videos like that tend to be a blemish on his reputation.

You are correct sir and/or madame

mnemonicmonkeys, to mildlyinteresting in We hit one third of boomers being dead in the last few days.

Ok boomer. I hope being petty makes you feel better.

mnemonicmonkeys, to asklemmy in Are there any good Aniyomi alternatives?

There’s a spiritual successor to Tachiyomi called Mihon that’s supposed to launch in a week or so. It’s being worked on by the same guy that runs the TachiyomiSY fork
