  • One that would have prevented him from getting his hands on a firearm.

    If he’s a felon, he shouldn’t have been able to possess a gun. Did someone sell him a gun? Did someone let him borrow their gun? Did he steal it from someone who didn’t store it securely in a gun safe?

    Write the laws so that the person responsible for the felon having a gun can be convicted of murder for the people killed with that gun. Make the liability for owning and selling guns so strict that you would have to be an idiot not to take every precaution to protect yourself from fault.

    Because this won’t stop unless something changes, and we can’t just sit on our hands and pretend it was nobody’s fault every time it happens. If we’re going to make laws forbidding felons from owning guns, we better start treating anyone who enables felon to have a gun as accomplices in any crimes committed with the gun, without exception. No protections for guns stores or private sellers, just actual enforcement of laws prohibiting felons from possessing firearms.


  • I find happiness in demanding that I get paid what I am worth, rather than rolling over and trying to make due with less.

    I wasn’t really speaking honestly when I said that I personally can’t afford to go camping, I am just ridiculing your belief that people are just failing to make the most of life, when life fucking sucks hit shit for millions of people right now.

    Nobody wants to hear you pretend that economic issues don’t matter. If that makes you feel better with your own lot in life, more power to you, but nobody wants to hear your “If I can be happy so can you” condescension from anyone when they’re talking about how wages are stagnant and the working class can’t afford basic luxuries as a reward for their hard work as previous generations could.












  • I assume as much, but we already know that he’s too stubborn to listen to anyone he doesn’t hand-pick, and that he doesn’t like being told what to do, so there’s a chance that he’ll just do whatever he wants in impulse for 4 years as president, and that P2025 limps along trying to convince Trump that they know best.

    After 4 years of his supporters calling him the greatest president ever to set foot in the White House, I find it hard to believe he considers anyone more qualified than himself, given that he’s a gigantic narcissist. I take P2025 as a serious threat given that there are billions of dollars backing it, but I also think their plan is ridiculous and impossible to actually execute without competence, and the guy they are relying on can’t string together a complete sentence and is prone to random speeches about sharks.


  • I brought a 3-inch credit card blade (acquired at a trade show, with some tech company logo on it) through the airport four consecutive times without even realizing it.

    I found it while packing for another trip, and I decided to gut my overly-thick wallet and realized that I’d been carrying it around everywhere, including through courtrooms and other government buildings that X-ray everything I bring every time I pass through as a contractor.

    So yeah, a knife inside my wallet went through about 50 X-ray machines at federal facilities completely undetected, and I unknowingly carried it through all sorts of places where it is extremely illegal to have a knife. They always scolded me though if I tried to bring anything made of glass, like a coke bottle or something, because it could be used as a weapon.
