California judge charged with killing wife had 47 guns, 26,000 rounds of ammunition: Court documents (abcnews.go.com)

A California Superior Court judge arrested last week has now been charged with killing his wife in front of their adult son at their home. Court filings reveal the judge had over 47 weapons and 26,000 rounds of ammunition in his home.

borkcorkedforks,

If he regularly shot pictures of women or something sure but owning a lot of guns or buying ammo in bulk isn't really any indication of domestic violence. The son even said there wasn't a history of violence. It seems like the heavy drinking or arguments have more correlation than anything.

Media outlets often cite things like how many guns someone has to freak out people who don't know about guns. All the dude needed to fuck up was a single handgun and a single bullet. If he was drunk he shouldn't have even been carrying. And being drunk isn't really a good argument for why someone got violent.

The rule in effect is rather narrow and doesn't actually ban home manufacturing. All the elements of a kit are still accessible and legal.

The only difference is that all the parts to finish the controlled part can't be sold together. So like you could by the 80% from one shop online and the jig from a different shop online. All the other parts wouldn't be affected in general, maybe an issue if sold with the 80%. And there are also other ways to do home manufacturing that would be completely unaffected but the rule.

Also the case isn't done. The order is a temporary stay where the court is asking the ATF lawyers to explain things.

AITA to ask my wife to act like we live in a First world.

I married a beautiful woman who was here on work visa. This is my 3rd marriage and I genuinely felt a connection when we first met. Fast forward now, she reuses all the containers to store stuff in pantry. Like she will use the empty yogurt jar to store raisins. I asked her to not use empty jars instead buy fresh new jars from...

I grew up in the US reusing containers like that and still do sometimes. It's not a third world thing at all. I'm pretty sure it was to save money back then but it can be a eco thing too. Extended family and friends do this all the time too.

Recycling plastic doesn't work as well as you might have been told and it is more impactful to reuse or reduce. Glass and metal are better for recycling though.

Based on the post you care more about superficial things than your wife's feelings. Your friends are superficial AHs too. How much money do you all spend trying to keep up with each other?

borkcorkedforks,

I feel like that is too on the nose. Prague U and related media is just propaganda and alternative history. I suppose some of it is close to what is already being taught for some parts of US history.

borkcorkedforks,

To me it looks like an over estimation of the capabilities for the tech. Same kind of thinking that led to lawyers submitting fake cases as support in court. The current tech can be useful but has to be verified and generally tweaked a bit to be good enough. It certainly has room for improvement in quality and just not lying. Real world use has some copyright questions with what the training data was. Applying it to something creative is questionable and more or less feels like uninspired remixes.

Also the whole graphic is kinda suspect to me when "Blockchain engineers" is a job category and it's produced by an org working on AI.

borkcorkedforks,

I think the first step is generally establishing communication first. Like they might learn signs by touch. Later they could be taught braille in order to read.

borkcorkedforks,

Things like suicide are far more related to a lack mental healthcare and the stigma around getting help than weather or not people are allowed to own firearms. Not everyone has those kinds of problems. An assault weapons ban is certainly unrelated to those seeking self-harm and most crime.

borkcorkedforks,

I mean these sites aren't going to implement anything like they want in these laws and few people are going to be up for using such a system. Yeah, they're just going to throw up a block and remove liability. Then people who know will just VPN.

I could see the industry using some system that's already built and free but not really develop one or take on more issues with personal information. Good luck with the government made browser extension that tracks your preferences though.

borkcorkedforks,

The internet can often never forget but things do get wiped out when sites go under. Think about random forums from a decade ago with dead links or images that aren't hosted anymore.

Some tweets actually get backed up by the Library of Congress so some percentage of voices are probably preserved.

borkcorkedforks, to random

So I've seen a number of people complaining that other users are replying to their public posts on a social website with that functionality. Respectfully what the hell are these people smoking?

If it's a public post for anyone to see and respond to what did they expect to happen when they put it out there? I'm not talking about harassment, rude comments, or block/ban evasion. Just randomly commenting on a random post.

How did they come to the conclusion it was a private space and others would know they shouldn't comment? If they just want a private conversation or hate reading comments why post things for everyone to see and comment on?

Clearly this issue is one of different expectations or different social norms. No idea when it became a reasonable expectation on their end but it seems to be common in some circles. And deeply held enough that some find the act of getting replies from strangers as offensive. Again nothing like dms just a normal comment on a public post.

For something constructive the platform could have the features to provide the experience they want. One in which people can't comment or where they don't have to see comments. I personally disable comments on YouTube videos I post but I don't really expect people to avoid commenting if they were on. Here something like disabling comments or ignoring comments could be useful to these people. Maybe only allowing or seeing comments from a whitelist. Maybe only showing posts to people on a whitelist.

Whatever the desired interaction it will probably need to be enforced in code rather than a vague social code most people aren't aware of.

No one reply to this post. It's super private. /s

borkcorkedforks,

RFK Jr is an anti-vax and conspiracy theory nut. DeSantis is basically the home schooled version of Trump.

DeSantis vs RFK Jr wouldn't really be much of an improvement. Just a different flavor of shit. Like lemon flavored shit instead of lime flavored shit.

borkcorkedforks,

That is really the only reason they've done anything in the past about subs. That or the risk of actual legal trouble.

Similar things happened to jailbait and thedonald. Without media attention those subs would probably still be active.

borkcorkedforks,

After the meeting a few of the smart ones asked for clarification over email to get it writing.

borkcorkedforks,

They're removing more mods for staying dark or malicious compliance shenanigans. Whatever is left after this will be shells and shills.

borkcorkedforks,

It mainly lost it appeal as crashes, arrests, lawsuits, and thief keep happeneding. It was shown to be scammy with scammers scamming.

And yeah the new hotness of LLMs also helped. The tech bros who use to be pushing "X but with crypto" are now looking to push "X but with AI".

borkcorkedforks,

If that kind of content was allowed here I'd delete my account. No, one wants that kind of trouble.

Detroit-area city bans LGBTQ+ pride flags on public property (apnews.com)

A Detroit-area community has banned LGBTQ+ flags from publicly owned flagpoles. The unanimous vote by the Hamtramck City Council came during a tense meeting that raised questions about discrimination, religion and the city’s reputation for welcoming newcomers. The council voted to display only certain flags, including the...

borkcorkedforks,

Well, that's going to be a lawsuit.

borkcorkedforks,

So what is his take on that tape where he talks about having top secret documents and how awesome they are but also how he can't declassify them now? Can we get kid rock up on the stand as a witness?

borkcorkedforks, to LiberalGunOwners

Hello, reddit refugees. Does anyone know of any other pro-gun fediverse communities? Searching didn't really bring up any results.

Maybe something is tucked away in the more tankie corners, not sure.
