I hope you don't mean self-driving cars, because a stuxnet level cyber attack against a nation of self-driving vehicles will be devastating beyond belief and :lol: if you think Google, Uber, or anyone else is going to have security in place that can stop a state-level actor from loving them in a huge, deadly way.

I'm legit ok with people in murderpig country owning all sorts of guns because wild pigs and boars are vicious, if not the most aggressive wild animal you can find in the US. Bears* and mountain lions tend to avoid humans if they can help it. Boars will straight up charge and murder you because you made the mistake of wandering in to their view.

The only upside of facing a boar in the woods is that you *might * be able to get up a tree before it can reach you and give you a horrifically painful death (and then eat you if it's hungry).


* unless idiots feed them, then they lose that fear and can be really goddamn dangerous because holy poo poo a (grizzly) bear's just wandering up to you and thinks you have food to give it, and you do. One way or the other.


Apple, Google, and quite a few other large SV companies have been doing the same thing and nothing is going to ultimately change. I'd be loving shocked if it's not still continuing just without paper trails.

Because being those things in the US can gently caress you up if you're ignorant.

Ok, but the day to day relative danger of driving should fall dramatically with self-driving vehicles as they become more and more advanced. :colbert:

If you are a Libertarian at 25, it’s because you were raised as aMiddle Class White Male. If you are a socialist at 35 it’s because your kids wont be.

At risk of regrettably and tragically starting another murderpig derail, fuckers also annihilate a LOT of crop production annually. If a reason to allow civilian use of meaningfully powerful rifles with ready reloading exists, it's the Classic American Murderpig.

You're joking right? The guy's a Republican donor, there's no separation between his donations and the white supremacists and neo-nazis in office he supports.

People say they're fiscally conservative but socially liberal when they know so little about politics that they think that being a 'conservative' means 'using money good instead of using money bad'.

This is it in a nut shell.

I was having beers with some neighbors a few weeks ago when one of the guys brought up that he's a libertarian, and happily pointed to his "Don't tread on me" flag up in his garage. I asked him why he was a libertarian, and he pulled the "Fiscal conservative/social liberal" line. I pointed out to him that we were a group of white guys sitting in a garage in a $1.5million house in Orange County, California, and he might not have a firm grasp on how his needs differ from others. He started up with the "I made a living for myself" line and I decided I'd rather enjoy my evening so I started up a conversation with someone else.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Squalid posted:

Yeah, and you could probably reduce this a lot without banning guns at all. Just make purchases and transfers a bit better regulated.

Yup. But big black rifles are scary and we have to DO SOMETHING (like wasting political capital on banning bump stocks instead of pushing for something that will actually make sense and make an impact).

But hey, why make a difference when we can high five ourselves for banning something that will have a workaround in five minutes?

Sorry. I get salty that all people give a poo poo about is the poo poo that comparatively doesn't loving matter compared to the literal 50 people who die from handguns for every one that dies from a rifle.
