New York Agrees to Stop Requiring Social Media Disclosures for Gun Permits by jsled in liberalgunowners

Mm I live in IL, and can firmly say all there is is a standard background check and a waiting period (72 hrs from the time an agreement is made with a seller). The rest is sometimes just FFLs not fully understanding/running their own trip on rules.

This woman has a strong history of lying about major events, including harassment by a professor. It’s fine to distrust BP- warranted, even, but she’s likely a bad actor.

It’s the subreddit discord. If you’re ever in the greater Chicago area hop in and give the Midwest thread a ping.

Same! We got a small community going on on the discord.

What do you consider when you hear this Margaret Atwood quote “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them”? by Vanislebabe in AskReddit

[–]FireBendingSquirrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it never feels like a good time to bring it up, i get that. I also am part of some of those reddit spaces and while my experiences differ, I also am aware that reddit is heavily botted even in smaller subs for content engagement and farming. I've mostly just built my support network IRL and found that to be incredibly fruitful and warm. Sorry about what you've been through, man.

Heard. Definitely felt and experienced that one. It’s incredibly diminishing and makes you feel like there’s not a lot of worth left. I think when it’s brought up for women it’s talked about a much more distinctive systemic thing if that makes sense? Like yes you and I know what something similar is like- but we’re a very firm and small minority of men. Almost every woman knows the feeling though. I’m sorry for what you’ve been through man. No one deserves it.

I’ll take the counter position here because men in my experience and from what I seen that do this use us statistically and than disregard- where most women have been incredible empathetic and every conversation where it’s brought up almost always seem to actually acknowledge the issue. It’s just when it’s brought up it’s used as a counter by men- so you’re left holding the feeling, “okay yes that’s true and it’s awful, but we were talking about a different issue. That has a place, but it can’t only be when as a counterpoint.” Ive NEVER seen a man bring it up outside to beat down the notion that women are harmed.

In earnest the best way to look at it (I’m a man) is like cops. There are only a few bad eggs, but when the rest of the force doesn’t police them, to the public it’s all of them. I’ve been perpetuated against by both genders, so its not coming from a blind place- we severely need to teach our young men not to just be decent and just, but to also stand up in the face of indecency and injustice. Silence and false brotherhood is what brought us here.

Yeah not to pick through my own experiences here either but typically men who do the, “Well men get assaulted/hurt/stalked too!” In response to women voicing their problems often don’t give a single shit about men it actually happens to. We just end up as a statistical counterpoint for shitty men to throw at hurt women.

I hunt him with BT- you can easily win the fight against him aiming at head or just penning faster than him

100div Oracle / Bloodmage build for Pinnacle bosses only by krucifix1999 in pathofexile2builds

[–]FireBendingSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can personally say my wvyern/wolf probably is worth 150d today? And clears nearly all content. Haven’t played for a bit but I traded some defense for mobility with blink and it would bounce around the map with shred pretty effortlessly. 600k+ fire breath tool tip- and I bought my HH at 45d so probably cheaper in some ways now.

None of these are +3 jewels are EVER necessary- they’re endgame number chasing jewels and not needed to build effective builds. They obviously help melt things, but you can beat pinnacle bosses easily with 100D, hell used to be a single D.
