Pros and cons like most things. I enjoy the more overall laid back crowd that seems to be a little on the older side compared to Reddit. Sticking with Reddit though there's just less of everything, less content, less people, and less trolls. This however is not necessarily a bad thing overall though (especially the trolls) given that the content here is less diluted and more valuable, same with the discussions.
Like many have harped on though Reddit kind of turned itself into an answer hub so even without an account anymore I still on occasion need to go back for a solid answer on something. I'm sure given time that will change but for now I'm still hopping fences.
Man riding a motorcycle in my state with these fuckin idiots was awful. Even with the helmet I got a waff of this garbage and not to mention it sticking to my clothes on some occasions. It's not even denialism it's just wilful harm. Luckily the number of these idiots seems to have gone down over the last few years.
I'm kind of embarrassed that she's a representative of my state and I had no clue she existed until this very moment. Tried looking up what she's done besides be a generic token Republican and came up empty. Anyone know of anything notable (awful) she's actually done?
How in the hell is this good? Whether you agree or not this is only inviting potential harm and violence against these people. As if things weren't bad enough with the political climate here. Once again fear is being used against those with a differing opinion.
President Biden on Friday will announce the creation of a new office for gun violence prevention, an escalation of the administration’s efforts to tackle the issue amid stalled progress in Congress, according to four people briefed on the action who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans that were not yet public....
Honestly a tall order. From the debate below it seems you are of the opinion that one's argument has no validity unless you're one of "us". Fine I get it, but as for the established community maybe they need to self govern a bit since there is quite the chunk that practically fetishize firearms.
I used to be quite into the community but was nearly shouted out whenever I brought up responsible gun control and education. So yea maybe the community needs to do a better job of shaking out the crazy before asking those who don't understand or fear firearms to come join.
Yea I'm pretty sure most people have a decent knowledge of what a gun is and what it does. The problem is the level of knowledge is never enough for the vocal group of gun enthusiasts that treat the firearm as their new deity. I don't need to learn field strip every model of Eastern European rifle to say hey maybe we should do something about letting every Tom, Dick, and Harry have access to a death tube the same day they ask for one after they rant about minorities.
My apologies to Tom and Harry, Dick you are on your own though.
I always hear stories about the dangers of buying from WIsh.com, Aliexpress, and recently Temu. I’ve jokingly called them “buyer beware” sites even. Yet people still use them, and there’s just as many positive results as negative. But I’ve also heard about unexplained card charges, data hacks, pyramid-scheme-like...
Do you cave and use both hands? Do you take the chance and try to use them one-handed when more actively using them? Or do you ultimately submit and get an accessory to kinda help, at least with keeping a hold of them?...
The US Senate today confirmed nominee Anna Gomez to the Federal Communications Commission, finally giving President Biden a Democratic majority on the telecom regulator more than two and a half years into his presidency. The vote to confirm Gomez was 55-43 and went mostly along party lines....
Same, it's pretty much unplayable on an HDD, buttery smooth on my SSD though. I feel like it needs to be a rather loud PSA/notice on store pages about it.
