Conservatives Are Terrified That People Like Me Are Buying Guns

No they're not. I'm progressive in my politics and beliefs but associate with a lot of conservatives because firearms are a big hobby of mine.

I've seen some embrace left-leaning people because they're just happy to see others join the firearms community. I've seen others laugh at the idea of "pink-haired lesbians" training and imply that everyone on the left is weak and incapable of ever getting good with firearms. Still others dig in with a serious tone and talk about being ready to defend America (R) and Patriotism (TM) against the communist pedophiles.

But not a single one has expressed fear, because they don't see themselves as the bad guys. They will either never be the aggressor in a confrontation (but tacitly support those who will be) and thus won't be in the line of fire, or feel ready to lay down their lives for God and Country and Family Values and Good Righteous People Everywhere. They really don't see inevitable future that comes with the othering language they use and administration they support.

That's why I only drink units of whole blood. On average, the under-hydrated and over-hydrated people that contributed to that unit cancel each other out, so I know I'm always working towards optimal cell hydration. Never to much or too little.

A lot of unpopular "features" and behaviors used to have DISM, policy, or registry workarounds. And MS seems to love to kill those workarounds during later updates.

If MS isn't letting people uninstall it, there's a reason for it, and I'd be willing to bet that users will one day find that it has been magically re-enabled by an update.

I guess it was inevitable that my fellow millennials would carry on the age-old tradition of shitting on the younger generation's new slang, styles, and behaviors. I don't know why I thought we might break the cycle.

Guns kept in a car usually aren’t required to be locked up if the car itself is locked.

This varies widely from state to state, with different requirements for loaded vs unloaded, concealed carry permits, and accessibility requirements.

There’s not much point having a gun in the car if you have to ask the carjacker to wait nicely while you fetch your gun from its locked container.

So use a quick-access safe mounted in the vehicle or get a concealed carry license and keep it secured in a holster with you. No excuse for leaving it accessible to a child.

Who says programmers don't have a sense of humor?

No one. It's just what you pretend people say to make yourself feel like some kind of special exception.

I don't think he is saying that an inability to differentiate between foreign languages is racist, but rather that given a random shithead who holds truly racist beliefs, it is unlikely they will be able to recognize differences between Asian languages.

To put it more generically, most people in Set A exhibit Trait B, but having Trait B alone does not mean you are a member of Set A.

PS2 is retro now? Damn, getting old really does sneak up on you.

It's only a matter of time before it's not an option anymore. Every shitty new behavior they put in is an easy-to-use option at first, then a registry setting or policy, then even that goes away and it gets baked in.

More than that.

Law enforcement should be held to a higher standard, and this kind of violation of trust and abuse of power deserves far more than just the punishment for a DUI. The DUI punishment should be stacked on top of whatever she can be charged with for this act itself: false arrest, filing false reports, falsifying evidence, etc. And there should be no allowance for serving those sentences concurrently.

But it probably won't happen.

Thanks for the insight - jump humping and soaking sound like the kind of bullshit my parents would believe because it was featured in some local news story.

Most "teen trends", especially those related to sex, are just wildly blown out of proportion "stories" based on a couple of people trying something weird, someone else hearing about it, and now suddenly all the teens are doing it.

It reminds me of being in high school when my mom asked me if my girlfriend's jelly bracelets were a sex thing because she heard about girls owing sex acts to guys who can break one.
