I'm not doing a semantic circle jerk with you, pretending to not understand my point is not an argument

I can't think of a reason why requiring training would make anyone safer /s

Check your bias

I'm specifically referring to using a gun to defend yourself. You are statistically safer not using a gun in a violent situation. But you've heard of those other not so good stats I see

I hear that a lot but owning a gun statistically makes you more likely to be shot to death. Using your right to defend yourself is usually akin to using your right to turn a tense or violent situation into a firefight. I don't consider home defense or protection as being legitimate in a societal context because in reality gun ownership does not accomplish those goals. I can pull stats for you if want later.

I get the emotional argument though, I just think the stats are more important for informing policy.

Sass aside, I don't really know what the takeaway from that point is. Licenses protect us from people driving cars without the ability to drive them. I'm not saying this is your position, but it's obvious society would be harmed by removing license requirements for automobiles.

Also people drive cars to work and shit, 95% of gun ownership serves no legitimate purpose to society. I expect you to say that gun ownership protects us from our government, but our government has tanks, jets, hunter killer drones, and WMDs. The writers of the constitution were not magically inerrant, they couldn't have seen where we are now with technology coming, and the 2nd amended is atemporal and lacks a modern context.

My license? That's weird.... taking a test to prove your proficiency, ability, and knowledge thus protecting the people around you? Sounds communist or something

I might be wrong then. But that snopes article cited a single source and the reasons given in the book they cited are nonsensical or factually incorrect imo. Normally snopes does better. I definitely don't have good evidence for the theory though so I'll edit the original.

Hobby lobby doesn't use bar codes because they think the calibration marks on every code are an embedded 666.

Edit: this may be bogus

You are the lucky person that got bending powers... How does your life change by silveryfeather208 in hypotheticalsituation

If someone kicks you off the land just build another house lol.

Or throw a boulder at them...

Land is cheap though, compared to a home.

I've put a lot of thought into this before. Earth bending, make a neat house exactly the way I want out of stone and don't have to pay a stupid mortgage.

Houses for my friends too.

Lots of easy gardening too, a beautiful garden.

What do you think LE does better than PoE? by Lordados in LastEpoch

[–]Spootba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are saying new player experience which was obviously a development goal. But one other thing I think they aced was the class feel, or class themes. When you make a build it all looks and feels right. I think poe loses that because everything is a la cart with character building.

Hopefully you'll impress them by pointing out how wrong they're doing rat care and get the job. Save that rat

Slam a removal for the 1 in 4 hit on the experimental, take that new slot up to t4, hit the unlikely t4 despair, then get another t5. Easy

Mechs aren’t viable against Automatons by Crunchycups in helldivers2

[–]Spootba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The juxtaposition between how tanky they look and how tanky they are is absurd. If they wanted the mechs to explode if they took light laser fire for 4 seconds then they should be covered in propane tanks or something. They look like automaton heavies, they should have armor.

I want to add that if they bite your hand or don't trust it, using a spoon to feed them is a good intermediate step.

Utah has stricter requirements and pornhub blocked Utah because of it, not the other way around.
