mnemonicmonkeys,

Head’s up, The Escapist is essentially dead since they fired their editor-in-chief (Nick Calandra) and all of the talent (Yahtzee, Frost, JM8, Jack, etc.) quit to start a new employee-owned company with him called Second Wind

mnemonicmonkeys,

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.

He’s just a coked up moron.

Tbf, so was Hitler. Especially the last couple of years

mnemonicmonkeys,

Finland, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, etc.

The only thing is that they won’t allow you to import guns you already have. You have to buy new ones there

mnemonicmonkeys,

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

mnemonicmonkeys,

Yes, thanks for the clarification!

mnemonicmonkeys,

To be fair, 0.5mm is a good clearance foe that application

mnemonicmonkeys,

The only guy to shoot down an F-117? Lazerpig just mentioned him in a video a week ago

mnemonicmonkeys,

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

Tbf, what Kakao is doing isn’t legal

mnemonicmonkeys,

My position required at least a year to learn everything, and I’m a pretty fast learner. My coworkers jobs require a similar level of training, even with experience. If a candidate spent less than 2 years at their 3 most recent jobs then I agree with my manager that they weren’t worth potentially wasting time on.

mnemonicmonkeys,

If someone’s spent less than 2 years at their 3 most recent jobs, there’s a high chance they’re job hopping. Especially if they’re engineers in a discipline that can take months to a year to be fully capable of the tasks needed.

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

mnemonicmonkeys, (edited )

Agreed. I read through it, and there’s plenty of bits that are ridiculous. Manatory licensing will never happen because the 2nd Amendment is a right, not a privilege. Also, it doesn’t make sense that they’re trying to ban online sales, because those require delivery via an FFL, which means all of them get a background check.

My personal stance is is a combination of an observation that an armed population is harder to oppress, and that gun control tends to have a disproportionate impact on minorities and oppressed groups.

Since LGBT and minorities are the most likely groups to be attacked by political opposition, we shouldn’t be trying to hamstring their ability to defend themselves.

Plus, a contributing factor to why the alt-right and fascists have gained so much ground in the past decade is because of the perception that only the political right has guns, and therefore they think that they’ll win in a fight

mnemonicmonkeys,

or at the very least dialed it back substantially.

From what I’m aware, Beto O’Rourke completely dropped gun control as a campaign issue when he ran for governor in Texas. Granted, he was also the biggest advocate for gun control of all the candidates vying for the Democratic nomination for the 2020 election, so I don’t think anyone trusted his reversal

mnemonicmonkeys,

You should be able to have a gun, but you should be licensed

The issue here is that gun ownership is a right, while driving is a privilege. Privileges can require licenses, but if you require a license to exercise a right then it’s no longer a right.

Requiring every gun owner to have a license would have to be done as a constitutional amendment, and invalidating part of the Bill of Rights is unprecedented

mnemonicmonkeys,

I also choose this guy’s Mastodon server

mnemonicmonkeys,

I would recommend most people at least have professionals install the hardware going directly into and through the roof to avoid leaks. Unless there’s nobody reputable you can hire and you are sure what you’re doing.

Home repair is often fairly simple and can be done easily with some basic online tutorials, but there’s so many people that don’t do that and think up terrible solutions off the cuff.

mnemonicmonkeys,

The resulting evidence demonstrates that “keep and bear arms” had a “collective, militaristic meaning” in the late 18th century.

And what is this even supposed to mean in a way that would contradict the originalist viewpoint? The definition of “militia” in the period is already understood to mean all able-bodied men that are suitable for military conscription. And by extension, a “well-regulated” meant said militia having proper equipment and knowledge of how to use said equipment. Quoting this changes nothing.

Also a side note: you should look at some of the arguments above the one you quoted in this link. There were 2 based on the State of New York discriminating against people, particularly racial minorities and LGBTQ individuals, which have the most need for the ability to defend themselves

mnemonicmonkeys,

Isn’t a gallon almost four litres? A gallon of anything is going to be dangerous to drink all at once.

That’s the joke
