Boomers and older Gen-Xers seem to truly have no concept of how many school shootings that Millennials and Zoomers have lived through.

The response to those was the same every time, and the words they used were similar to those Kirk himself used — "a little random violence is the price we pay for the freedom to own guns."

Since Uvalde, I have just been straight with it and just refer to it as the Second Amendment God. The Second Amendment God occasionally gets hungry, and must be fed with blood. That's what we as Americans want. This has happened a thousand times over in 25 years, and each time, we all cast a silent vote that this is what we want.

The Second Amendment God exists because we want Him to exist.

Nah, as someone who gave an honest, college try at making use of OneDrive, I maintain its fate vis a vie the rusty hook.

A paycheck is a paycheck. Lots of us exchange our ego for daily bread — we have a club and everything. We meet every day after work at your local bar.

Yeah, but if I tax trillionaires, what happens when I myself become a trillionaire?!

This is something that, of all people, Ivanka Trump has kvetched about in private — her infamy, her dad's infamy, her company's infamy, her wealth's infamy, and not to mention, her husband's infamy — has essentially procluded them from any social circles in NYC. They reportedly left politics because every single one of their friends would refuse to engage with them anymore.

One simple thing that brings me joy in a dark world is that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump can't make a single friend.

It's a real dumb idea but I'll be honest, I think all of us should have expected that when Chrome switched to an engine that doesn't allow for ad blockers.

I'm with the rest of the commenters on other threads — I'll just switch to PostmarketOS and make Linux work for me. Very little of what I do on a phone really requires "apps."

White People: "guns are for everyone! That's why there is a second amendment. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED."

Black Panthers: "oh ok carries unloaded guns'

White People: "wait actually now there are limits"

Honestly, doing this for would be such a hilarious operational vulnerability that I think it would be like a dinner bell ringing to th international spy community lol.

If they release files with only Republican names blocked out, all it'll take is a single congressperson to read the full list of names that appear in the documents out loud during a speech and into the public record — then, Internet sleuths and journalists will be able to piece together names from details, they always do.

Driving is honestly very stimulating for me. I have AuDHD and it is one of the few times I feel calm because I can actively engage all of my senses. Something about keeping an awareness in your head of what's around you and your car really keeps me occupied.
