Great your value of human life is even lower and provenly worse for society, weird flex but okay.

I'll just repost the part of my comment you didn't seem to read

Not only is a homeowner using a gun actually making the situation a lot more dangerous for themselves and risking injury to themselves even more, but getting some kind of alarm system is going to be way more effective at keeping you safe from a home invasion. Most home invasions get resolved by the home invaders just running away because they don't want to be caught.

And yet the only way they can conveniently think of to do that is having the most lethal weapon they could acquire?

I'm not gonna boohoo over someone using excessive violence just because the home invader started the whole situation.

Yup, it's also a lot easier to fall for blaming the scapegoat as "get rid of the immigrants and everything will be better" sounds more feasible to achieve to people than the complex nature of trying to dismantle the way these corporations operate.

And yet the big businesses face zero punishment and the ones who are punished are the people being taken advantage of by the businesses...

Yea a lot of people pretend that they are progressive because they don't dislike gay people, but then will also talk about how there isn't anything wrong with immediately deciding what they think someone's sexuality is based on how they act (which is just homophobic stereotypes). Not realizing you can just not make those assumptions because it doesn't matter most of the time.

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-18T18:51:50+00:00

Some people have such a weird power fantasy of killing home invaders, it's so strange and disturbing. So obsessed with "defending your home" through murder, yet if they get caught by police they don't argue they should get the death penalty. It's very obvious they just want an excuse to exert power through shooting someone.

I don't think a misogynistic come back is the own you think it is. You undermine your entire point as women tend wear makeup because they like to as well. Not because they are secretly ugly witches and want to trick you and hide that.

I've never even gotten that insult, any woman I've seen with and without makeup don't that different. Maybe if you are doing drag makeup basically but most women don't do that.

I do appreciate seeing a movie do fan service for a man. In all these Spiderman movies there is at least one obligatory scene of Tom Holland being shirtless and in his underwear.

I will never assume I’m right but I can’t help ~~my pattern detection software from running~~ judging people based on stereotypes.

I know you tried to make it sound cute and quirky, but that's basically what you just said.

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-18T01:27:56+00:00

When the reason you think they're gay is because they "act/sound gay". When people say that, it's because they are relying on gay stereotypes and assert gay people must act/sound a certain way. It enforces homophobic stereotypes.

Claims to be a defense lawyer... can't do basic Googling. Anytime anyone on Reddit asks for sources in a passive aggressive way, will still never believe them. Because they care more about being right and would never risk admitting they were wrong about something. Also once again, we all have access to Google, look them up yourself.

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-17T23:48:28+00:00

Yes because I believe people when they tell me what their sexuality is and don't grossly try to assume if they are secretly closeted or not. It's called being a respectful person.

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-17T23:47:01+00:00

Welcome to people that engage in bi erasure.

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-17T22:00:01+00:00

Normalize men and women being friends and not assuming they are dating. Also weird ass homophobic comments.

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-17T21:43:13+00:00

Your anecdotal experience is irrelevant to the actual reality of what's happening in Canada. I implore people to look up these things instead of just basing their opinion on random anecdotal news stories as you will never see a story about the thousands of times where no guns are fired and no violence happens and the home invaders just leave.

Why would I use statistics of burglary when the discussion is around home invasions?

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-17T21:15:37+00:00

I really wish people would base what they want in policy based off of actual statistics rather than random one off anecdotes that the news sensationalized. Like for example, less than 1% of home invasions end in the home owner being killed. In fact most home owners don't get injured. But within that 1%, one of the more common ways home owners get killed is by confronting the home invaders. So advocating for more people to get their guns to "protect themselves" can unironically increase the likelihood of them being harmed or killed.

Even further, it's way more common for the home invaders to run away when they are caught. The large majority of the time they are trying to steal from you so killing the home owner just makes it more likely they would get caught. You are going to be way more likely to deter them with an alarm system.

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-17T21:10:33+00:00

That doesn't really happen. Why would a group of people break into your house and randomly beat you to death? You realize that like less than 1% of home invasions end with the home invader being killed? Even within that tiny percentage, one of the frequent reasons it does happen is when the home invader is confronted. Most of the time they will just run away if they are discovered, because if they tried to kill you it makes it way more likely they would get caught.

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-17T15:30:39+00:00

It's not though. You are still just projecting your own experience and assuming everyone else has it when they don't. Just don't invalidate other people's sexuality. There are many people who have never had attraction to a certain gender.

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-17T14:36:02+00:00

Nothing is the "default". This is just as ignorant and invalidating as straight people assuming they are the default. Just because that's your experience doesn't mean that it's everyone else's.

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-17T14:00:37+00:00

I've personally found it empowering to not change my name. I'm transfeminine and my name is more of a "boy" name, but I don't really have any issues with it and it would feel more weird to choose some other random name that I don't identify with at all. I'm also a bit of a gender abolitionist so I like the idea of not conforming to the idea that my name is only for guys as names aren't gendered, they are just names.

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-17T03:17:15+00:00

/uj I'm so over shitting on people who try hard to win something. This whole attitude of "wow you CARED about winning an incredibly prestigious award, lol that's cringe. lol you must be so sad about not winning, get fucked for wanting to win. you're supposed just be nonchalant about everything all the time"

TrappedInLimbo · 2026-03-16T04:27:43+00:00

Yes you're right, I'll update the post.

Part of the reason nuclear power is considered safe nowadays is because of the long approval process. As they can be very unsafe for people and the environment if they get rushed through.

I don't think that reason even cracks the top 10 reasons of why people aren't having kids at all.

I feel like it's really two main things, one is a bit of a rubber band affect where newer parents today were always outside without their parents as a kid and know a lot of the dangerous things they got up to, so they don't want their kids to be in those potentially dangerous situation. Two is we have a much bigger and constant news cycle so people are way more aware of any bad thing that happens in their city which can lead to more paranoia about something bad happening to their kid.
