You do realize that's the Republican gun control policy, right?

What was the point of saying this?

Does one gun getting stolen from the mail and used in a murder tell us the whole gun control system is broken,

Why or how would one get stolen from the mail? It's not like there's likely to be a sticker on the outside saying there's a gun. Why would someone bother with the increased difficulty of stealing from the mail (and additional federal charges IIRC)?

Finally, considering how easy it is to steal a gun from a random vehicle in a smash and grab, again, what would be the point of expending the extra effort?

That's what I mean by meaningful. Our society is so awash in readily available guns, this doesn't really add any significant opportunity for someone who shouldn't have a gun to obtain one.

First of all, who would want that gaudy piece of s*&^ to begin with?

Second, how can these terards continue to fall for these blatant scams?

Finally, how is this not criminal? Were Trump not in charge of the DoJ would we expect investigation(s) and charges from this? I can't see how this isn't outright fraud.

No. Since 2020 I've watched Dems and leftists downplay, ignore, justify and even celebrate political violence from their side. Luigi Mangione is a folk hero to some on the left.

There's so many weasel words in this pile of s*&^ post it's surprising pedoringer was able to make a point at all.

Ths is the classic move of the left these days - accuse your opponents of doing what you are doing.

LOL Pedoringer still thinks he's backing a winning horse.

What a dumb f*&^.

if trump cured cancer

He'd put his name on it, sell it at exorbitant prices and after much fanfare of launching a website selling it for $45.47 to regular people, he would probably end up getting caught selling saline.

And dumb piles of s*&^ like you would keep supporting him anyway.

Why do you bother posting that stupid s*&^?

Of course, pedoringer comes to deflect for the scumbag.

Pedo is probably a domestic abuser himself.

Hey Trumper dumbf*&^s, you tired of looking like idiotic a&&holes yet?

We weren't prepared under him the last time.

Now we're even less so with RFK in charge at HHS and all the MAHA idiots in charge at various levels, an economy being systematically wrecked that will be incapable of taking any supply shocks and global diplomacy so terrible cooperation will be hard to come by.

Another pandemic will be hunger games in the US.

The only question how racist are you relative to the rest of us?

So you are a white dude.

Where do you really live now that you're dropping the facade?

So pedoringer is an energy policy expert now?

Widespread, unchecked small arms proliferation has been a domestic policy goal of Republicans since Reagan.

You do realize that you can get a gun pretty much any day of the week in pretty much any town in the country, right? Do you really think this opens up some major market or something that's going to have a meaningful impact on the level of firearm ownership in this country?

More than likely this will just make it easier for people to ship firearms when traveling or moving.

When is the last time you read a EULA?

#15 | Posted by sitzkrieg

I scan them usually. Very rarely read them closely in their entirety.

So you're saying because the tech pro s*&^bags bury it in a many page legal document they're not sneaking things in under the radar? That's not an intentional strategy?

After several hours of sifting through multiple layers of settings menus I was able to get rid of most of it. It was set up with default settings at the store.

Never had to do that with my iPhones. Ever. There's no comparison no matter how many stupid comments you want to add.

I'm annoyed by articles screaming about doubling rates, 100% increase but then don't include the actual numbers, going from 0.9 to 1.6% doesn't get clicks or outrage.

Dubious stats for clicks is a problem.

In the broader context, however, this is quite concerning. Decades of hard won and lifesaving medical interventions are being forgone because people watched a YouTube video recommended by their chiropractor and *boom* algorithm takes over and before you know it, Betty Sue the cashier at Walgreens is telling doctors she don't need to stinkin' vaccines or vitamin k shots for her new baby. That's what the Himalayan Rock Salt lamp and smoky quartz crystals are for!

Funny how the guys can go and ogle the white girls but the women must remain pure and demure.

The thing that always makes me chuckle a little is when I see a woman wearing a hijab but has beautifully done up hair and makeup, painted on jeans and a low cut shirt.

Talk about mailing it in.

No vehicle has ever screamed "LOOK AT ME" more than one of these.

No vehicle has ever screamed "I'M A DOUCHEBAG" like one of these.

Then again, I guess people have always been like that. Jesus was simply noticing it, and saying how bad it is to get conned by them.

Human nature is human nature.

That's why the wisdom that can be gleaned from religious texts holds true today as it has for centuries.

Camera was really nice, though.

Probably true. Thank you for pointing that out.

It was intolerable. Literally every app interaction had some sort of notification or upgrade request.

I'm not sure what reason why it would be cancelled by the state.

You're not actually this dumb, are you?

Publicly owned spaces should be open to all.

What if you're a stupid pile of s*&^?

I'd be OK with banning you from public property, s*&^bag.

And this is why people hate tech bros.

The vast majority of people don't want their products but have no choice by to use their products. And once you use just a little, you're forced to use it all at their discretion.

Now, I'm sure s*&^bags like onelumpofs*&^ will chime in to say "duhhhh YoU DonT hAvEz toA UzE dUhHHh GoOglEz!!"

While technically true, you could live in the middle of the woods without any of it and get by. However, for anyone living in the real world it's unfortunately a necessity to use some tech bro product somewhere. A company that wasn't run by a bunch of self-absorbed piles of s*&^ wouldn't sneak this s*&^ in constantly under the radar.

I recently got a new phone. A Galaxy and my first Android phone.

Got rid of it as soon as I could. The constant, never ending attempts to up sell stuff or force notifications was ridiculous. The intentional architecture of the operating system that required multiple screen taps to achieve a single task so that they could insert various garbage "features" I didn't want was insane. It made me realize any issues I had with iPhones were trivial and weren't by any means cause for switching platforms.

Why is this a big deal? Of course its going to do this, it doesn't know if you deleted it.

Why are you such a lying piece of s*&^?

Many of them are doing so out of a well-meaning but ill-informed abundance of caution.

Bulls*&^. It's arrogant ignorance. Period.

People who have passed, maybe, high school biology making emotion based, grifting "wellness" industry-confirmed decisions because they think they know better than doctors and nurses following recommendations based on decades of medical practice and study.
