Yes, we can’t be complacent and let Dems, or whoever is opposing the Right, sit comfortably on their stacks of cash. This country needs real change or it will fall.

Agreed. We don’t have to agree on everything. We could get away with blocking this fascist shit and fixing some underlying problems that are preventing the majority of Americans from what they want–living comfortably (rights, wages, etc.). I know it’s not necessarily simple, but it’s surmountable.
Exactly this. There is infrastructure to these kinds of moves. The right has been moving on it and the left has mostly not. However, there are some things the left could do, and they should get on that ASAP.
I agree, actually. There may be a time and a place for it, but even if that were true, humans are not able to handle it. I wasn’t necessarily endorsing that direction, simply recognizing that the eventual outcome for someone doing what they are doing could be death.
And, here’s the thing: If they lose this one, they will keep trying every election from now until they win or are found to be breaking the law and sentenced to heavy time or death. So, it’s not just this election folks need to vote–it’s every election. This hasn’t been stated, but the natural direction is that they will try to get folks into any position of power where they can further disenfranchise anyone who doesn’t vote their way. I know that has been happening, but Project 2025 hasn’t focused on that yet (to my knowledge).
I had to block so much yiff when I first joined Lemmy. I knew it was out there, but I didn’t realize just how much until Lemmy. Maybe I blocked it gradually over time at Reddit and didn’t realize how much it was in total, but I felt like there wasn’t as much there.
I try not to judge their journey, but I have no need to join them on it.
Yeah, I was being flip. Everyone has the right, but having the right and exercising it are two different things.
If you have the resources, yes.
I read this in R2D2’s voice!
I’m sure you’re the first to think of this! You’ll be rich!
If he went to hospital by ambulance over the past few weeks for it, he probably is.
Seriously! How the fuck do I get some? Is the difference really morals? If I sold my morals would I have millions? Fuck these wankers, their lack of morals, and every penny to their names. Fuck them.
My neighbor has the same thing.
My original point was that the difference in how real it looks is not so great that it is outweighed by dangers of having a functional gun.
My later point was that they can’t be all that concerned with being realistic if they are shooting 30 times from a gun with a 10 round magazine without reloading.
Sure, but the difference between a real gun and a fake gun is not that great.
Also, they often shoot 30 times without reloading from guns with a much lesser capacity. Their interest in realism is often so-so.
The only reason to do it is verisimilitude, and that’s not compelling because a fake is easy enough to acquire/create.
Nope, but I hope they leave you alone so you can go back to enjoying Lemmy. Cheers, mate!
I’d rather listen to an orgy of deaf zoo animals.
That’s what you said when I asked you if you’d enjoy going to listen to The Beatles live in their heyday. I’m beginning to think that’s just what you’re into.
Probably tried to be an officer and wasn’t accepted. A lot of people who want to be a cop start out as security.
I’ll all owl it!
