I’ve just read a book about Somme, and it’s absolutely true for that battle that surrendered enemies were killed for mere convenience - so they wouldn’t have to take them back and feed them. I read this of the British in particular, but that’s who the book was about, so.

I’m!! Trying!!

I really don’t know. I think it’s more people are glad he’s feeling the violence he put out into the world and because guns are so free and loose. To me it’s still quite a big deal, having not really lived through any assassinations in my life 😅

Does he have to fire his weapon for it to be an attempt? Wheres the line? The FBI is calling it an attempt. I suppose we’ll see if this is entrapment too. Until then, this kinda looks like an assassination attempt

What a time to be alive

No gotcha… just a legitimate question I asked you and myself. I ponder these things. I can see you are having trouble playing nice though which is unfortunate

Ah - I had read reporting saying AK

If Kamala was at this golf course would you be singing a different tune? I have zero doubt they’re going to get whatever mileage they can out of this, but idk how we can pretend this is “nothing”.

Also, I’m positive a person intending to kill a (former) president being arrested 600yds away from their target is newsworthy.

I think Trump is reaping what he’s sown too, but I can’t pretend it’s remotely close to “nothing”

edit: Im literally just saying this news story is newsworthy y’all. surprisingly controversial

I guess so, other than his manifesto saying he wants to kill Trump and showing up at the same place and time. I don’t think I’d wanna be ak-bush-guy in court

edit: are AK’s even legal to carry around? I don’t know if FL has open carry

Man hiding in bush at Donald Trump’s golf course with AK-47 rifle is a nothing burger? Idk how to make customers happy these days ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

edit: people are saying it wasn’t an AK

Minority Report maybe

Big unicode doesn’t want you to know this one simple trick

I linked an article with commentary, yes. When I read the original comment myself I was very put off by the tone/apparent attitude toward the subject. I still think it was an innocuous change they could have merged – I would’ve. I think the author of Ladybird is probably not a misogynist, but to be so blunt and dismissive on that PR was a questionable look IMO.

He’s probably a nice guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The founder of Ladybird said some questionable stuff that he walked back. You be the judge: https://text.tchncs.de/latenightblog/ladybird-browser-and-drama

[Brendan Eich, founder of Brave made a] 2008 donation of $1,000 to California Proposition 8, which called for the banning of same-sex marriage in California,[18]and donations in the amount of $2,100 to Proposition 8 supporter Tom McClintockbetween 2008 and 2010.

It also has optional ads to pay you in crypto. I view 99% of crypto as a scam btw

Too many were hired irresponsibly, which is not the fault of the worker.

I am not remotely arguing against subsistence farming or hunting. Hell even hunting meat yourself that you consume. I wouldn’t do it willingly, but that doesn’t make it inherently immoral.

People are detached from the method of making their meat. It is far more unpleasant than most want to think about. The animals are mistreated. It’s hard to argue they aren’t. That’s really the point

I am underestimating no one. I do not remotely doubt humanity’s capacity for violence and depravity. I am saying that we as people can choose to minimize harm and violence (to each other, animals we farm, etc)

edit: I should also point out that we are FAR past the point of “subsistence” with out meat consumption. We consume more meat now than ever before. There are many costs associated with this to our health, the animals we eat, the planet …

You are literally arguing the definition of the word “cruelty” rather than dealing with the substance. I appreciate the engagement, but this is where I’ll stop. I hope you consider the conflicts in your worldview and work toward improving the world for yourself and the beings that inhabit it.

You do not need meat to survive
