This reminds me during the dot com crash, when employees exercised their options when the stock was sky high, so they had gigantic paper gains and big AMT bills. Then the stock crashed (like 99% and then some crash), so employees were not only left with near worthless stock, but they had huge tax bills with no money to pay them - and they were sometimes locked out of selling due to insider trading rules as the stock was crashing.
I hate that argument about how gun owners would not pose a credible threat to the US military.

We've demonstrated time and time again what a determined populace in their home region is capable of doing to a technologically and numerically superior opponent.

Such as in Vietnam which isn't incredibly dissimilar from the deep South, or Afghanistan which is very similar to the environment you would find in Idaho and Wyoming.

I mean the wider discussion can still be had but if the federal government decided to start a fight over this it would be very similar to an Afghanistan or Vietnam situation but about 2-3x worse as the area to cover would be much larger and would likely have to deal with internal problems in the military as they tend to be very well represented in the pro-gun crowd.

Unless your suggesting the US military would start carrying out strategic bombing operations against its own citizens on its own soil.
I consider Muse’s ink engine pretty good, although I’ve never found anything that comes close to GoodNotes. So that would be the one to emulate – including nice features like their “pause and hold for straight line”, which I really miss in Muse
>When you advocate for punishing law-abiding citizens for the misdeeds of criminals

I don't think you're arguing in good-faith here. The Misdeeds of criminals? It's not like mass shootings are carried out by felons. They're carried out by mentally ill people that have access to guns they should not have access to. They're not criminals until they take action.
I needed this, thanks man.
My dad collects things that only people his age collect. I've told him that my and my siblings don't want them when he dies, and they're only valuable while other people his age are still alive, thus if he wants to extract value from them, he needs to sell them immediately yesterday. He's a hoarder though, so someone lucky will buy the very valuable things today for a fraction of a penny on the dollar five years from now, assuming I can find a buyer if the economy is in a depression.
Ooh, those are good. I have a few homemade (or home-modified) specialty tools for my old cars, and some I'll certainly never have use for again.

Those are one reason I've never yet had a British or German car, though I do have one with a British-derived engine and a German fuel injection system. (I'll have to remember to pass on all the custom tools when I get rid of the car. The chances are slim to none that I'll ever own another one.)

There's a paper that was presented at an American Psychology Association conference on the media contagion effect. I think this might actually be the original study. It mentions "Profiles of shooters indicate that they are often socially isolated and suffer a pattern of ostracization or bullying, yet they tend toward narcissism."[1] It also mentions that these three traits - depression, social isolation and pathological narcissism are largely intertwined.

Twitter requires a phone number, they just don't require one at sign-up. This is a known pattern they do with every single account - you have to provide a phone number at some point. If you ever log in with a VPN, they may also require a number to even access your account at all.

Literally everyone was talking about it, making exactly the same point you are now. People parroting this take was basically all of social media for a week.

You’re not uncovering some logical inconsistency in liberal logic any more than “oh you’re pro-life, but you support the death penalty hmmmmmm” does for conservatives. This shit spreads like wildfire because it sounds like a gotcha but it relies on putting words in someone else’s mouth and then calling them a hypocrite for something they didn’t say.

If you can’t come up with a single good faith argument for why someone might want to restrict guns but not cars then you don’t really understand the opposing stance and you’re not equipped to actually have this debate. Being able to articulate the opposing stance in a way the other side would agree with then explaining why you believe it’s wrong is the only way to not talk past one another.

"for the most part"

Let's talk about farmers and fields for a moment:

Early on in human history, the first farmers began their work with fertile ground.

Mistakes were made, understanding gained, improvements were also made. And this is just humans being humans.

Over time, it was observed the earth can become parched when farmed too many times without putting some of the yields back into the soil. There are no free lunches. Every so often, it is necessary to invest in the earth so that it remains fertile and yields bountiful.

Farmers, having once learned this, continued to do it, and everyone is living in relative harmony.

Along comes big Ag. Good yields are not good enough. They want the maximum, and they ignore history and proceed to max the ground out, and of course it becomes parched.

Rather than invest in the maintenance of fertile ground, which requires some crops be grown to be turned back into earth, they treat the ground chemically and continue.

And now there is a top soil problem where there was once fertile ground. And so they basically mooch top soil from somewhere else, and on it goes.

Turns out those high yields are quite expensive for everyone else!

Now, let's look at what you say you need:

For example, what gives that fast Internet connection value?

A wealthy society in which to derive that income! This is fertile ground. See where I am going with this?

What happens when that wealthy society is not maintained? In other words, what happens when the ground becomes parched?

Bullets, among many other things like it being harder to get that income due to lower demand as greater numbers of people struggle due to growing economic problems and those are generally due to labor not paying what it costs for people to actually exist and show up for work and perform that labor, and also generally due to debt accumulation in the form of "parched" societies in serious need of reinvestment.

It's great to maximize it for you, thinking of only your considerations as if the rest of the world just comes gratis. It doesn't you know.

Really, this is all no different from the farmer who does not see the need to reinvest in their ground. What they do is get all they can and when that ground becomes parched, they call it someone else's problem and move to new, fertile ground where they wash, rinse, repeat, until they have a lot of wealth accumulated and have left behind a lot of parched ground for others to restore to being fertile, and doing that isn't cheap!!

That farmer could have invested in their ground, still could have accumulated considerable wealth, but would not be costing everyone around them very large sums of money while doing it.

Nobody exists in a vacuum. Everything costs something. And if you are not paying it, someone else is forced to, and or where it's not paid, other costs and risks, such as bullets, tend to follow soon after.

That's it. Ideally some food for thought regarding "needs" being far greater than the idealized picture you put here.
I think psychology is one of the issues. You go from being "particular" to ADHD, or chronically depressed, clinical anxious, ODD... And from those diagnostics most, I imagine, will typically end up on medications. It's the path of least resistance for the parent(s). Beyond that it can be used as an apparatus to excuse behaviors, or to broker certain exceptions. It can also become a narrative tool used to nucleate an identity, and that can be a hazard in some cases.

I don't think we do focus on individualism, either, and that's a problem. Proper individualism entails rigid personal accountability. Perhaps it's implied, and in effect what we've done is given a child a hammer without teaching them to swing it, no doubt many a sore thumb. In fact I really wonder if it's even probable that teachers can meaningfully interface with all but a few students.

I think workload has been increasing, and that's the anecdotal feedback I've gotten - harder work for younger kids. Less time for exploratory learning. Boys are perceived to have a significantly worse time than their female peers by their teachers. They also end up more disciplined. They're more likely to be "diagnosed" with ADHD than girls by a factor of two. Boys also experience higher dropout rates and juvenile detention. There's also an increasing rate of single mothers, and single parents just do not have it easy, women especially - and that puts more pressures onto the kids.

Support structures can be dogshit. Economy has moved. Families have been fractured and dispersed over long distances. And society doesn't really have the many support groups it once did. I can't speak statistically, but hearing about the dirt roads of the Denver Metro in the 70's and driving through it now, it's insanely packed. I grew up in rural areas, there were never any pretensions about danger or safety, and me and my friends wandered all over the town totally unsupervised as late as 2004. I don't know that such privileges are extended to these kids growing up in cities.

Expectations is another thing. Not only do the institutions make comparisons, they do it explicitly and loudly, but so do the kids. Yeah, the socioeconomic disparities I don't have any doubt play a role, but there's also kids watching these "perfect family" videos on youtube, watching super-human feats of every sort, egregious conspicuous consumption... And then they're just average, but the skew that such exposure introduces is, I can only imagine, pretty dangerous to some kids.

It's so multifaceted though. We've really got to look at the individuals holistically, track every step and kind of come to a real understanding of why they did it.
Sometimes it makes sense to write a wrapper. I've worked on a team where every few months we'd have some mandated framework change, or a microservice we depended on was being replaced by some new project. In that case it's easier to update an abstraction in some common library than ripping the code out from every place it's used in application code.
> the U.S. accepts other things that are regulated

Sure, and if "regulated" means a person has to show some proof of being a responsible citizen, that's fine.
Read the parent of my comment. I was addressing bullying.

But yeah, it's true. One could argue that the school shooter was doing this for himself, which of course isn't something I'd wish on anyone. I think that these teenagers feel helpless, without any purpose in life. I'm not saying it's the worst time to be alive, but the mass appeal of no-religion, being agnostic is a real problem. I even doubt if I should continue being agnostic at times. Every once in a while I lose purpose and really haven't found a good way to cope with it.

Generally speaking, I think the cause of these shootings comes down to the feeling of helplessness and not feeling useful to society.
> If enough people actually cared about this, then you’d have people marching on the capitol, like after a certain president was not re-elected.

People do care, and they do protest and march, and like most protests anywhere it does not change anything. Sorry but you seem to have a very naive view of the effectiveness of protests.

By the way, the pro-Trump protests didn’t achieve anything either (other than furthering the US’s slide into bitter ultra-partisan division and total erosion of trust in institutions). Notably, they did not successfully enable Trump to remain president. So what is your point?
I think the wording is kind of silly. Bragging about never even having a thought is a weird way to claim virtue.

If you read this bit of text:

“Imagine killing another human”

What happens in your head? Is it blank save for a triumphant “Not today, Satan!”?

If I were to write “Imagine pushing somebody off a cliff”, it would be common for people to just… not imagine that? And this refusal of imagination is a virtue that, if it were more common, would somehow be helpful to society?
> Banning guns altogether (rather improbable) will only leave law abiding citizens at the mercy of criminals.

How do you imagine this works? I’ve been ‘at the mercy of criminals’ my entire life, but I’ve never had to fear getting randomly gunned down in my school, or on the street, or in a bar brawl.

I do not see how a sensible person would ever choose the alternative.
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

The conservatives I know believe everyone should know how to handle a firearm safely, and believe people have a right to defend themselves from criminals, as well as the government. It appears to be liberals trying to disarm fellow citizens and make sure the government has all encompassing powers.

To state that differently: one side appears to believe that if we pass law "A" or ban object "B" that everything will be better. The other side seems to believe "bad" or "evil" people/governments will always exist, and that everyone has the right to actively defend themselves and their families. Including the people that don't like "B".
"National Guard-- which is a reserve force of the US Military"

That is why anyone stating the National Guard is a standin for "well armed militia" is wrong..."a reserve force of the US Military" is not representative of the people; it is a protector of whomever is in power at any moment in the US.

So... You don't need a license to own or drive a car on your own property, I don't think. Or go through a background check to buy one.

It's just that we have public roads, upon which it's difficult to hide a car while in use. Yet routinely many people drive unregistered and uninsured vehicles.

I could say the same about you, but I'll just leave it that I don't think you have thought through your position.

> They're not criminals until they take action.

And nobody calls for banning guns until they take action either. At which point, as you say, they are criminals. So the calls for banning guns every time there's a mass shooting are exactly what I said: calls to punish law-abiding citizens for the misdeeds of criminals.

I’ve felt the same way with GP; IMO the big issue is that the thing that I’ve written or drawn changes during writing. This removes the pen feeling of the Apple Pencil and feels more like a graphic tool? So like drawing circles feels fine, but writing text and seeing that the text feels wobbly while writing gives me the perception that the pencil is not meant to write text in Muse.

Bernstein v. the U.S. Department of State (2014)
This is bordering on delusional. You think there are no meaningful fundamental factors to the world economy and the only thing likely to cause it to go down is sentiment? Not debt? Not liquidity? Not inflation. Not money supply? It just goes down because people woke up on the wrong side of the bed?

The people believe it's going to go down because they are doing things like looking at balance sheets and tracking the relevant data. It's like saying someone got killed because a bullet happened to be moving around towards them but that it definitely wasn't because they were shot.
They're actually pretty close and confusing:

Affect is the influence or impact on something.

Effect is the result of the influence or impact on something.

The simplest way to think about it is that 'affect' is a verb and 'effect' is a noun, but they refer to essentially the same thing (you could define 'affect' as 'to have an effect on' something). But even that is confused by things like the verb phrase 'effect change'.

Which word you use might actually just come down to which way you're talking about something, but broadly affect is the action and effect is the result.

Guns in a home actually lead to greater dangers especially for women. Most people are actually murdered by someone they know, quite often a close relative of friend. It may not feel that way but you are actually safer not owning a gun.
The country is fascinated with crime. Fascination of the masses and breathless media coverage keep reinforcing each other. The worst criminals are almost treated with awe — referred to with their full names, including fucking middle names, like FDR or JFK; when do you see Bill Gates referred to as William Henry Gates? Right now, if you’re a failure in life, the easiest way to make a name for yourself and have a loud exit is to shoot up as many people as possible. I wonder what would happen if these idiots are given as little attention as possible and just referred to as John Doe.
