The argument that “Oh well, guns are too much of a problem, might as well not solve it ever” is a crazy argument. Australia managed to fix the issue. It would take time, and guns that weren’t turned in would continue to pop up, but over time we’d see fewer shootings. Even if it took multiple lifetimes for frequent shootings to stop, it’d be worth doing. I’d turn in my grandpa’s shotgun without even thinking about it.

I’m also not saying that it’d go over well in the US, there might even be a revolt, but even though I like shooting guns, I’d vote for it, as I dislike people dying more than I like shooting. I’d loosely compare the mindset of “don’t take my guns” people to the mindset of anti-maskers, refusing to do this obviously helpful thing to help the greater good because it slightly inconveniences them. Maybe not so coincidentally anti-maskers and gun nuts tend to share political beliefs.

At the very least, we could do a better job of regulating them. For example, as a gearhead, requiring every single gun to be licensed like a car makes sense to me. I wouldn’t even be against a yearly tax on gun ownership of a few bucks, as you see with automobiles. And, of course, if you’re caught with an unlicensed gun it’s straight to jail, much like if you’re driving without a license.

More likely I might just end up moving somewhere else that doesn’t have this issue, if my lifestyle ever can support that.

Yeah, I’m aware, I’ve played H3VR and have friends who are, as I just learned, not gun nuts, but gun nerds I guess. While I can understand being into guns due to all the things you mentioned, and I’ve enjoyed shooting them before, I personally can’t get over having killing machines as a hobby, not to mention the data on the relative lack of shooting in countries where you can’t as easily own these things. So, I practice what I preach, and have chosen to not get into the hobby.

That said, even I have my grandpa’s old pump shotgun on a shelf (without any ammo in the house), as I have enjoyed shooting trap on occasion, and it was free, though I haven’t thought to touch it since I inherited it over two years ago.

I’m a gearhead and a tech wizard. Does this mean I’ll become a gun nut if I own a gun?

Good parenting is always the answer to things like this, but parents are seemingly incapable of being good parents. That’s why I support the idea of something like this, as children should be protected from these awful social media companies that could not care less about the wellbeing of these kids, and parents seem to be incapable of managing it themselves.

Yeah, I don’t expect to really enjoy it until I get to the SNL of my highschool years which *checks watch* is roughly season 35. I’ll also note that I’m not sitting down and watching it through, I’m watching it while I do other things, because ADHD I guess.

I will say that, while a lot of it is political and news based, it’s mainstream enough and often spelled out enough that I usually can pick it up either through context or because I’ve kinda heard of the event. There are also a lot of sketches that are largely not based on current news. I’d say I more or less understand most of what they’re putting down, though I’m certainly missing more than I think, as it goes.

I mainly wanted to watch it all to learn about this history of the cast, as well as do a more serious watch of the era from my high school years when I was super casual about watching it and missed a lot, as well as the legendary eras from the ~10 years before I was watching at all. Slogging through the early season is just a side effect of that I guess. I’ve just made it to S07, it’s a slow process haha.

Few arguments:

My cousin has downs, she’s retarded, but isn’t an idiot, she’s lovely to be around. Using a word that describes something she was born with to describe the negative choices someone has made is insulting.

We do have other words to describe when things are so back-asswards and anti-logical. Hell, make up your own completely new word, use some creativity.

Just because there’s a larger issue, doesn’t mean we should ignore a smaller issue, especially when the smaller issue is so fucking easy to solve. It’s like not cleaning your bathroom because racism exists.

I saw a video recently covering the proliferation of body cam YouTube. A side-conclusion was that in most of the most viral “Karen does xyz,” the “Karen” is a racist conservative that voted for Trump, sometimes they even inform the officers of their voting choices. A person like that freaks out because the system they voted for is affecting them, when they thought it affect the “bad people,” of which they, of course, aren’t. They’re good, they don’t have a previous criminal record, unlike those “other [colored] people.” Some of them even said that part out loud.

It was obviously said better in the video, but it made a lot of sense to me, and it makes even more sense when we see these peoples’ role models doing the exact same thing; insisting they’re right when they clearly are not.

It can be both

“Ahh, so we also ban VPNs, got it.” - Actual politicians in the UK

Man, I really support the idea of preventing children from partaking in many online activities, as they’ve been proven harmful to kids, but there’s just no good way to implement it.

I had it once and remember it being pretty good, but not amazing or anything.

I do, temperatures are often below freezing in the winter.

I wasn’t saying it was a common thing to see others riding (which it is, as long as there isn’t snow on the road), I was just saying people who ride aren’t rich just because they own a motorcycle, and that it’s possible to ride in the winter.

I’m not sure what your point is about Asian countries, I am aware that two wheeled vehicles are a means of transportation.

Sucks in a fun way if you’re a certain type of person. I’ve ridden through a lightning storm where my motorcycle couldn’t go past 55mph due to a headwind. It was exciting, and super fun.

TIL I’m rich because I own a $2000 motorcycle, and that it’s only a toy for use in the summer. I can’t believe that someone just mansplained riding motorcycles in poor weather. Rain gear and insulated clothing has existed for a long time.

Is the answer to that not “uhhhh… human?”

I go for mustard and that’s it. I once saw an woman put more mayo/katsup on her hotdog by volume than hotdog. It was insane.

Anyone looking to set this up should note that the instructions are slightly incorrect, the URL when adding the repository must be updated to the new repository location, there’s a PR for the change.

Additionally, I’ll mention that it just didn’t work for me, whereas owntracks worked flawlessly. The errors it provided were of little help, so I’m not sure why it wasn’t working. I’m planning to continue using owntracks for now.

Hi, this looks awesome. I just got it set up, and it’s working great, however I cannot get the Immich integration to work. Here’s the error I get when I paste in the domain and the freshly created API key. I’ve tried the API key with all permissions as well as with only the required permissions.

Connection failed: I/O error on POST request for "https://my.immich.domain/api/auth/validateToken": my.immich.domain

Any ideas of troubleshooting steps I could try? Thanks for sharing such a cool tool.

That is definitely super cool, but also would still require further custom automations for it to work the same as I have mine set up, and I still have further improvements I want to make to mine. I will definitely be looking into replacing some of my stuff with that though.

And then the all go to a landfill near you

I must assume you’re talking about LG and Apple laptops both.
