I mean, people don’t broadly care that much, at least not nearly as much as we hoped. If people were really principled, his fascist support and political involvement wouldn’t have just tanked his whole company but landed him in front a prosecutor.

But the reality is he just had a slump in sales, which had as much to do with affordable and higher-quality competition as his dumb nazi salute and insufferable tweeting. The installation of nation-wide charging networks basically started the countdown to Tesla’s demise.

Like I said, they don’t actually need to. You’re going to have your own silent buddy watching everything you do!

The damage done to this country by the right is incalculable and likely irreversible.

When the internet started empowering the dumbest idiots who don’t understand the world to find and support each other, we lost.

The human brain is not naturally a problem-solving tool of logic and reasoning, it has to be trained to use logic and reason, and in a world of comfort and ease like in the USA broadly, people had no incentive to learn more and be smarter other than social pressure, and that also dissolved as people found each other online and removed the pressure to step up their intellect to be accepted in broader society.

This has made a deep, slippery well of pseudo-science and naturalism and healing oils and magic water and crystals, which because of placebo effects and social influence, feel like they do more for people in their daily lives than mysterious terms like “mRNA” that defy all understanding or capability for people of limited intelligence to discuss with their coworkers around the lunch table.

This article is about a Senator changing their position.

She didn’t really though, not in any meaningful way. She just said this:

“And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong," she added. "So that’s really my only reaction.

No plans, not even any lip service to people who want to see investigations, just “Welp, yeah they were right. What’s for lunch?”

“And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong," she added. "So that’s really my only reaction.

This her bold tactic for addressing this matter.

It lingered there for only a moment and was quickly discarded.

“And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong,” she added. "So that’s really my only reaction.

Her final words on the matter. Don’t you all feel so reassured that we have TOP people on the case.

I like the part where she says “Now that my eyes have been opened to how severely we’ve all been deceived I am starting a campaign with my fellow GOP senators to see this through and prosecute every last person involved in these barbaric and evil crimes.”

Wait no… I’m being told she said none of that.

Her actual final words on the subject were "And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong, so that’s really my only reaction."

I hate these people with my whole being.

You gotta be pretty dense or insane to think you can make a post on the open internet about smoking so much indoors that your computer needs to be submerged in solvent or something to get it clean, and not expect anyone addressing the reason it got that way in the first place.

I don’t know what any of this means, but I can think of a much more effective solution for smokers.

My lungs have a self-cleaning feature, and my PC doesn’t.

Ending addictive behavior starts with admitting to yourself where your brain is lying to you about your habits and how gullible you are to accept those stories it sends you. You are not your brain.

I’ve been there a lot, I would definitely go back over any other city in Texas, the people there have been diverse and welcoming and the night-life is enjoyable if you’re a social person- which probably is why this whole “San Antonio is pretty okay” sentiment is getting shot down on Lemmy, one of the internet’s nests of asocial slacktivists and shut-ins who want to marry Linux.

You should get away from the toxic people who are coloring your lens on the world.

the article is behind a paywall you contentious dip, I had to check other stories, I am not committing my day to researching the gun type, because that’s not as relevant as most of the ammosexuals in here want to make it. Chill the fuck out.

Someone said it was a Glock but I can’t find details. Since it was a year ago that it actually happened it’s likely there’s news or depositions out there that gave more details. Either way the guy had been drinking boxes of wine, so it was either drunken rage, or drunken drunk.

What you consider legal now, could be considered grounds for arrest or worse if the world changes. And the world is always changing.

That said, if you have no interest in torrenting files or starting insurrections out of your basement, a VPN isn’t going to do much for you. They’re barely effective for actually protecting you if the actual government wanted to go after you for something and your data and personal info is already compromised by the fact that you’re here, chatting on the internet. If you just browse social media it will give you a bigger headache to have it on since most sites now block VPN traffic and reddit will even permanently shadowban you if you log in under a VPN.

This is fine advice but doesn’t answer OP’s question, only adds to it.

As a lifelong shooter, I am extremely dubious of the man’s claims, he sounds guilty AF.

And as someone who is also an expert on raging alcoholic fathers from the South with poor firearm control, I firmly believe the guy is just a raging asshole with no impulse control and a heart full of hate, and he let the feelings win and decided to end his daughter in rage.

This has been going on forever, all Trumpism did was give it a shape so that it could make the news.

It also goes on everywhere in the world, all the time.

Our species is not what you think it is, and I am sad for every thinking, feeling person who thinks they know how bad the situation is, but hasn’t yet had that moment where it all sinks.

It really depends on the part. Austin and San Antonio are very art-focused, moderate/liberal cities in some of the most beautiful areas of the country, but everywhere in America has rural populations of utterly deranged hog-people.

A place like Dallas you aren’t as likely to get shot, but you are more likely to face weird, old-money racism and discrimination.

The problem with texas is it has some of the most vast areas of rural population, as the entire state is just this flat sprawl of land with isolated communities full of poor drug addicts who just stare at the flatness of it all before going insane.

This is fantastic news. I don’t even care if they get investigated or not (most are guilty of something) I just want to sweep the mid-terms with entirely new people so we can bury this entire branch of legislative liches and fake opposition.
