The problem with most of the laws that politicians are pushing regarding ghost guns right now is that one literally cannot comply. Even if software- or firmware-level censorship was a good idea (it's not), there's no way you could possibly do it
Once again need to remind everyone that the supposedly crime-infested hellhole of New York is one of the safest cities in the country in no small part because most people in the central area don’t drive. America has a much bigger car problem than a violent crime problem.
And as expected, all those posts you saw about RAM prices finally going back to normal aged like milk. The fundamental problems haven't been solved yet.
That's not right. "Discipline" isnt the issue, and it's not what causes bubbles. Rampant speculation by all actors cause it - especially the more sophisticated ones with more resources. You cannot fix this tool because these structures and incentives literally are the tool. It's a casino
No it's not. Even if "disciplined traders" could outperform a stock picking cat - they mostly can't because the speculation is nth level - that they can make a bit of money still wouldn't justify the massive damage done to our economy with every new bubble that pops
You can own parts of businesses, earn dividends, and build generational wealth without a massive secondary market driven by nth-level speculation. How else would you solve that there is almost no connection between the fundamentals and the prices of stocks? The problem is the market.
The U.S. stock market is an old tool that solved old problems. It's not necessary anymore, and the ways it's used now do more harm than good. It should be abolished.
AB2047 is so stupid. This law is impossible to comply with, so CA just won't get 3d printers. "It's like telling a pen manufacturer to make a pen that doesn't allow its user to write sentences the government doesn't want you to write"

The New York Times telling me that my dog is dumb
Bitch I will beat your ass
If you don't want fascists to politicize your jokes maybe tell better jokes, I dunno, I'm not a comedian worths tens of millions of dollars.
A screenshot of a Hollywood Reporter politics news article. The headline reads, "Dave Chappelle Knocks Republican Party for “Weaponized” Transgender Jokes: “That’s Not What I Was Doing”" The subheadline states, "After being called out for transphobic jokes, the superstar comedian told NPR that Lauren Boebert and other Republicans are politicizing his humor." Below the text is a photo of Chappelle in a black tuxedo speaking at a podium, with a caption noting he is accepting the President's Award at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.
No, that's exactly what Chappelle was doing and it's why trans people criticized him for doing it.
Even if this really was your final straw, you should be embarrassed to admit it. Just pretend that it was something normal that changed your mind like the facts he's pushing a stupid war, he vaporized children and first responders, and there's good reason to believe he's a prolific pedophile
The people who only first turned on Trump because of egg or gas prices were bad enough. The folks are just now turning on him because of the Jesus depictions are absolutely insufferable.
Thinking about learning Baseball the trading card game so that I can get interested in the TV show
Under news that First Lady Melania Trump urges Congress to provide Epstein victims with public hearing, a separate post by Daniel Kibblesmith asks "Sorry did we know she was gonna do that . . . or why she did that." then "It's always something with these people" and then "This is about my kid eating an oreo off the floor of the car"
[wheeze]
everyone becomes extremely adept at identifying and making arguments that perfectly position themselves with all the correct heroes and villains and implications, like some kind of trick shot that bounces between seven different targets. “but is this true?” what do you mean, I hit all the targets
do it, nerds.
We are the helpless bystanders that we've been waiting for
Public transit should be free to everyone because it's a public good, and fees for services are not taxes.
In case you were wondering why Tesla self-driving is so dangerous, this is a senior member of the team developing it.
He claims he has no idea how to handle approaching a road that's completely obfuscated by smoke.
Hint: the answer is to slow down and proceed with caution, which this Tesla didn't.
They can't be made safe
I love the first episode where you can tell Sisko hates the absolute fuck out of Picard for killing his wife while Borgified and I think it struck such a clear note about what DS9 would be: it would embrace the open mindedness and dream of utopia while also showing the damage of actual life
That's an evil and twisted way to view the world. You're wrong, and I've already explained why. Not up for debate. If you really identify as a leftist, I'm embarrassed to be lumped in with you. Best of luck, comrade
There's no reason to believe that any of that nonsense is true, and it's the same type of "logic" fascists use to justify their mass murder and incarceration. You don't need to kill them. You just need to disempower them and take their stuff until they figure it out. This is not up for debate.
Bro, you should consider just not responding to my posts. Your constant calls for people to die violently are distasteful at best and psychotic at worst. It sucks, and it's not helpful to the cause
Only path to an infinitesimal amount of redemption for Pam Bondi at this point is if she goes full Regina George and pastes copies of the Epstein Files all around DC
If Bondi has to testify...
