This is setting up for the “plandemic” talk I’ve been overhearing from the crazy side of my family. Now there’s an “other” to point a finger at when Trump’s bad decisions allow another unchecked pandemic to happen on his watch.

It’s not even that. The petri dish could sustain the advancement until we could pivot to cleaner/safer things. We just chose not to pivot. The filter (for humans, anyway) is selfishness and greed.

As a single person you’d be pretty good for the rest of your (still probably short) life. But honestly, I think ascribing button pushing to some of these people is a stretch. They know the particular buttons to open their social media, or maybe even access their banking, but any mention of settings and you get a blank look. I see that with every generation now, working in IT. It used to just be the boomers, but tech knowledge seems to have degraded over the years.

I agree with you. A majority of the mass shootings (all shootings, really) would disappear overnight if we increased financial security and had free healthcare. Couple it with a cultural push for mental health awareness and care and you wouldn’t need too many gun laws on the books.

Nah, I just have a wider worldview and a better understanding of political power than you do. The US has always turned a blind eye to genocide, and has no issues committing it without remorse. You don’t fix that by withholding your vote, and to think otherwise means you don’t really get how this whole voting thing works lol

You act like there’s a real choice that doesn’t involve the extermination of the Palestinian people. Trump or Biden, and both of them are bad on this, but Trump is a hell of a lot worse on everything else, and you might not even get a vote in 2028 if he wins.

There isn’t really a hunting versus non-hunting firearm is the primary reason. People do use AR pattern rifles to hunt in certain states. Disabled hunters can find that the rifle is easier to handle where a more “traditional” style rifle isn’t as well. It’s just a really tough distinction to even start making.

If you can, it’ll be in the router’s web console under something named like “VPN Server.” You’ll need a higher end router to have that function built in, though.

…then whoever defines “hateful” determines what the rest of us can view, and ISPs aren’t even held accountable when they do stupid shit now.
