We've banned handguns here what, like three times now? They're still the most popular weapon used in shootings. How does that work? They are banned! It's incredibly dumb that banning a gun that was already banned is seen as a good move politically, when in reality it does nothing to stop someone from going across the border and buying one in the USA.

I don't think so, I was responding to "But this also points out how stupid laws that try to ban gun are" As long as people know how to buy/modify/manufacture guns, this will be a problem. They will have this knowledge forever, so we need more creative solutions to this problem. Take for instance the shooter in Nova Scotia, they rushed to ban all sorts of things after that incident. Guns he didn't use, guns he didn't buy in Canada, as a result literally NONE of what was in that law would have affected this dude at all. You call that efficient use of our lawmakers time? The answer cannot just be "BAN GUNS!" because that, over and over, does not work. We need to work smarter, not harder. - Comment on Back-To-School Essentials Sandy Hook Promise (2022-05-25 09:25:55)
It reminds me of that "why do all the children go to school and come out liberals!" so therefore if they just conspire to make schools a terrifying place, kids will just stay home, not go to school, and thus remain conservatives. - Comment on a little problem with GOP "logic" (2022-05-24 11:17:43)
Because you can assemble a machine shop in your garage and either make it yourself or modify existing things such that they're now illegal. Do we ban machine shops now? Do we ban all forms of metalworking? Do we take the ludicrous step of trying to ban the knowledge of how a gun operates? So yes while you can "ban" certain things, you need to understand that this doesn't actually stop them. Worse, it's used as a political tool because fools think that a ban does actually stop them. Too much time is spent on the political posturing for laws that don't functionally work. - Comment on Motivational (2022-05-24 11:01:20)
You can't seriously be this stupid. You know this is fake, right? - Comment on Melvin Capital, hedge fund torpedoed by the GameStop frenzy, is shutting down. (2022-05-20 13:03:04)
No, you can access reports and the fund has a legal obligation to tell you where the money is being invested. If they didn't check, that's on them. - Comment on ‘There’s something comforting about it’: the collectors who won’t let go of their DVDs and videos (2022-05-20 13:00:09)
No, this makes you a fuckin hoarder. Get rid of all that shit, replace it with a Synology running Plex. There is no reason, other than to satisfy a horrific hoarder OCD drive, to be this space-inefficient in 2022. I see this as just another piece bemoanin the good old days when they could sell you a movie on VHS, and then again on LaserDisc, and then again on DVD, and then again on Blueray. Those days are over, good riddance! - Comment on Moonhaven (2022-05-20 12:53:54)
What is this ring controller shit? Literally every development in VR/XR/AR has resulted in the same conclusion: Futuristic input devices ARE SHIT. They will never come close to the efficiency of a mouse&keyboard, or a joystick. - Comment on ANTENNA (2022-05-20 12:52:43)

"I married someone I hate/who hates me/just for sex" The oldest and shittiest trope in the universe and it needs to die. Normalize marrying people who actually love you. - Comment on GOP logic (2022-05-06 11:42:01)
You clearly don't understand how political wordmangling works. You don't say the thing that you mean, you say the thing that makes the other person think you mean one thing when actually you mean something else and then you take advantage of that gap in meaning/understanding!
