It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Man my day has been busy, let’s check in on the on TFF chat thread.



Well gently caress.

I am so loving sick of the fact that apparently we must sacrifice dozens of children a year so some idiots can keep their guns.

Here's the problem. And not just insane, but entrenched in key governmental positions from which they are impossible to uproot. The fearmongering and 24/7 propaganda blast since the mid-90s has obliterated any chance of rational dialog on not just this subject, but anything that could be considered an us vs. them argument.

I used to think that just maybe, some event like the alien attack in The Watchmen could possibly bring people together, but I think the post 9/11 profiteering/abuse of trust has soured me even on that possibility.

Well the confluence of multiple stressors like “impending fascism,” “potential financial ruin due to aging or medical problems,” “dying from contaminated food due to poor food regulations,” “the end of life on earth due to climate change” seems like enough without adding “send my children to school with a nonzero chance of them being executed for no reason because guns are plentiful.”

And should they dodge that bullet (I didn't even intend to make this a pun but we're beyond the pale here) your children won't be able to learn basic history at school, or how to get along with certain people--who could be themselves. And someone's going to make sure they don't learn about gun laws too at this pace.

I guess to be fair learning about guns and how they work would help gun law advocates out in the end because a lot of them seem to be morons too.

Right, like I'm pretty tired of Tweets about how this is Mitch McConnell's fault when him and the other craven assholes are just giving people want they want. It's literally AMERICANS fault - the giant, loud segment of mainstream Americans who support gun rights above all else. They are the ones to blame. The GOP is reaching out to that audience, they're not creating it. It's the same thing with white supremacy. In both cases - whether you're talking about Republican leadership or Tucker Carleson - they're chasing an audience and tapping into a deep undercurrent of sentiment for their own gain.

The eternal issue there is expecting cops to be Captain America that would jump on live grenades to protect the lowly citizen, and not thinking they're fallible humans that think "I hope I get home to my own family tonight."

Cops don't care about the public. They literally used human shields in Miami two years ago in a shootout. No cop has risked a single iota of what any health care worker has over the last two years.

Was that the time the cops just shot through a UPS driver to get to someone, with the company thanking the police for their service after? That one always stuck with me a little more for whatever reason.

That also happened!! But I was referring to the time they engaged in a shootout on a highway and took cover behind occupied vehicles and used them as cover to return fire, meaning return fire would hit said occupied vehicles. Imagine being stuck in traffic and a random dude just opening up next to you and receiving a hail of gunfire to your car and you in return.
