  • ICE agents pointed guns at a US citizen when she ran out on to her yard to ask why they were arresting her (legal immigrant) partner.

  • Bro i specifically wrote "NO civil war is breaking out"

    IDK why you're struggling so much to misconstrue the very brief points that I made.

    Global politics do affect the globe btw

  • The fuck are you on about? Civil wars happen regardless of the population being armed or not. See Myanmar.

    is this a strawman or just intentionally obtuse?

    Cause in the states it’s getting that way soon.

    sure, maybe. probably not, but maybe.

    That’s not how that works at all.

    ...

    and just see what you are fed by your local news.

    aaahh there we go, conspiratorial anti "the media" shit that i usually expect from the good ol 2A crowd.

  • Notice how no civil war is breaking out.Notice how nobody wants to start a shootout with armed forces?Notice how the only real world impact of civvies arming themselves is more civvies die?

    I'm from a country with sensible gun laws and no gestapo snatching people off the streets. yet we still take to the streets in protest of a far right party blasting past constitutional lines - they're currently under investigation and potentially to be banned in the future.

    All without posturing as armed defenders of democracy watching it's downfall from the sidelines.

  • I think it's more that they cosy up to tyranny because they are spineless hanger-ons.

  • It's not that people relied on the right to fight anything - it's more the fact that none of these manlyman hero "good guys with a gun" ever step up.The whole point of the criticism of 2A is that every single argument for it is bullshit with no basis in the real world.

  • Fingers crossed although it seemed more of a legal debacle. Police is investigating the mayor, not the participants, as they believe the public had been misinformed

  • Christian conservatives in a nutshell.right wing populism is so potent right now, that even the more left leaning parties jumped the "remigration" bandwagon recently.there was a knife attack that exploded in the news.since, multiple similar murders happened with zero public impact because the assailants weren't brown.

  • Should I Install Linux? Pros & Cons for Gaming & Coding

    Jump

  • I used to run Mint and Win7 parallel in uni (gosh, a decade ago?) since we were working with ruby - at the time basically impossible to run and dev under windows.In matters of development there are almost only advantages, depending on your target platform of course. Bash is great, tools and packages are usually easier to setup than on windows.For gaming my only linux experience is the Steamdeck. I've ran a bunch of non-steam games and Proton (the bridge for windows games under Linux) does all the heavy lifting for you. I only had issues with the Riot launcher, which tended to break when detecting a new update.

  • Regular Chicken Consumption Linked To Elevated Cancer Risk, Says Study

    Jump

  • with tofu (especially plain soy tofu) the key is the seasoning. Think of it a bit like you would chicken. Marinate it, make a rub, add a sauce.. By itself its pretty plain and some people hate what flavour it does have, but it acts like a sponge for seasoning.

    Similarly, another incredible protein is Seitan. Basically pure gluten from washing out flour (you can also just get gluten powder to save like an hour of work)Makes for really good meat imitate especially when folded/braided into different textures.

    I'm just writing it assuming someone who has no idea reads this, you did sound like you know veg foods in general.

  • I wish i could agree with you, but some critical moments still hinge on "totally not a jedi" force user with staff. Unless I'm misremembering, its been a while.

    Don't get me wrong it's a good movie, I just don't share the hype. The premise is cool, but to me personally, it falls a bit flat.

  • Ah, misunderstood you then.Are there generally any methodical issues with the study in the end or is it a case of just being wary of the source?

  • I'm gonna die on the hill that rogue one was unnecessary.

    Its a cool ass movie, but the "everything must have detailed in universe lore"-culture annoys me so much. Especially regarding a franchise that started as metaphoric of a story as star wars.

    Like I don't need in-universe guides to enjoy old kung fu hero movies with floaty wallruns and rooftop jumps. Its all metaphor and stylistic choice.

    Why do I need midichlorians and shoehorned blueprint fudging? Plus the ending was so predictable, i was disappointed when realising they really didn't come up with a better out than what i guessed before sitting down in the theater.
