"And here we see a wild false equivalency in it's natural habitat. Camouflaged and perfectly suited to it's environment, it goes unnoticed by many"

"Some humans have started recording the mating calls of this and other closely related cousins in the misinformationum ridiculosus family in hope of harnessing the power of the sounds for themselves, results have been varied"

At the same time, sometimes driving license requirements feel like they are too high and a racket.

I got my scooter license by answering 48/50 questions right and doing a 4 hour practical course at the driving center to get it on the same day. I paid $50 to do it.

This license allows me to drive a 50cc bike like an Aprilia RS50, which can hit the speed limit when I drive it on the same roads as everyone else.

First aid is fair enough, but why do I have to pay $1500 to attend a driving school and answer 100 questions or pay $80 to take the 2% chance of passing it at the license test center (because the test is graded by cops and one of the cushy jobs for them before retirement is as advisors at driving schools) to be able to ride something that is marginally faster and heavier?

We are thirty years past the time for meaningful gun legislation. Congress has been cock blocking any attempts to study gun violence for decades now. We are being held hostage to corporate greed and gunsexuals.

Just to let you know how ridiculous it is. Glock doesn't sell the model that is easily converted into a fully automatic guns through a switch in other countries. This is because others countries are not fucking insane and actually regulate this shit.

Needless to say constitutionalists and their re-envisioning if our legal structure is a crock of shit and just an excuse for big monied interests to flex on our rights. Oh and have they flexed.

You confuse me making fun of people for their retardation for meaningful critique. But certainly someone fantasizing about how powerful a gun makes them is a little fucking Nazi piece of shit.

You show up to defend the indefensible. Your resignation to how things are and defending the wholesale slaughter of our people through the excuse of private gun ownership is garbage.

The US has hundreds of child deaths every year and Japan has zero. You pretend we can't fix it. That millions more Americans will have to die. That tens of millions of Americans will have to live in fear. Wives will be murdered all for what?

You pointed out you are a fucking tool. You are welcome to walk that back if you want, but don't lecture me on how hard it is to change when the lives of your fellow Americans hang in the balance.

Yup, that is what a clown says.

Sorry you lost, did you want a "I don't give a fuck about human life" participation trophy?

Says the guy who rails against basic safety principles? As if, lmao.

Keep making stuff up, clown shoes are looking good on you. Did you want some white foundation and a wig to complete the look?

[email protected]

Yeah you did

Yeah, I cringe whenever I hear about the murderous left. Propaganda is one hell of a drug.

you probably didn't even refute my points anyways. just not worth it.

You literally said it yourself bud, you don't believe in using flashlights so you don't shoot someone innocent, because you're "real alpha men up in alaska, ooooooo." You literally used patriarchal toxic masculinity to mock basic safety procedures lmao, you have no credibility here.

Thanks for that. It really lightens the mood.

Okay, here is your clown nose. You look perfect now.

I am a left winger. I've voted for the greens since I started voting

And sorry, but America is full of crazies who are just calling for violence now.

The right wing is calling for murdering random people like fauci, whereas a lot of people from the left seem to be happy CEO's are getting shot and encouraging it

It's totally fucked. And yes, even Reddit is doing a better job moderating it at the moment.

Nobody should be encouraging murder. Has this actually improved the health care at United? No. They'll just replace the CEO and get more body guards

But, if you encourage the development of laws, that might have an impact. Or it would have, until you guys voted for Trump

The US is over-policed, while simultaneously being under-policed for certain demographics, by a street gang operating under the color of law. We have an overabundance of bad shoots by the cops executing people for nonviolent propert crimes that needs to be dealt with. This is a real issue.

There is also a tendency for some to conflate that with self defense of/in a home under the (generally correct) idea that no property crime deserves the death penalty, like McDonalds managed to conflate the coffee burned old lady with frivolous lawsuits. I am saying that once you break into a home it is no longer "property crime" but something else.

Idk sounds about right to me, 8%-8%. What do you expect, 8% of people carry so 50% of people have a gun on them at any given time? No, more like 8% of people have one at any given time, therefore 8% chance. Your figures seem off to me considering there are none, “nuh uh” isn’t a rebuttal.

I'm saying that if 8% of people carry guns and there are 20 such people at a particular location, then the probability that someone in the group has a gun would be 1-(1-0.08)^20 which is around 80%. For 1 person, it's 8%, for 2 people it's 15%, and so on.

But whatever. I can see you are firmly in the camp of 'we need good people with guns to stop bad people with guns' - a view that basically only exists where gun-violence is endemic.
