This guy calculates

I’m far left, but I actually don’t hate on the 2nd Amendment. It was a pivotal moment in US history, fortifying the power of the people and its rule over government.

But at the time the 2nd Amendment was written, the most powerful weapon that the average person would have had access to was the flintlock musket. The flintlock had a relatively short effective range of around 50 to 100 yards and took time to reload after each shot.

It would stand to reason that much stronger laws are required to compensate for the amount of fire power available to people now.

That’s because half the population actually believes they’ll be as rich as those high tax brackets (which will never happen).

Dam, you both sound right. And that’s some sad shit to realize.

You are absolutely right. I’ve corrected the mistake.

JD Vance is a weird-ass, mother fuckin’ piece of shit

That’s actually a good question. Surely Mastodon and Lemmy instances should have also seen an uptick in registrations?

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy

That…uhh… that sounds…

Yes, it is very unpleasant.

Just out of curiosity, are you an Apple user, looking for alternatives to Apple’s AppStore?

WD, in turn, claimed the firm had not infringed Suess’ patents

So did they or didn’t they infringe? The article doesn’t say. I imagine MRT disassembled some drives to examine for infringement.

It is also possible that these hundreds of employees across the globe working R&D for Western Digital may have developed the same, or nearly the same, technology. But then MRT filed first if they were awarded the patient.

Given the track record of memory and other computer parts manufactures, I would say it’s more likely that they’re simply lying through their teeth.

That’s just pedophilia with extra steps

They’re not just sure, they’re Internet sure!

Read that whole thing in his voice…and it was on point

No, I think it’s, maybe, a little bit different. So, I’ve known him a long time indirectly, not directly very much, and he was always of white heritage, and he was only promoting white heritage, I didn’t know he was orange, until a number of years ago when he happened to turn orange, and now he wants to be known as orange. So, I don’t know, is he white or is he orange - but, you know what, I respect either one

History isn’t propaganda

Always cracks me up to see people who champion open source alternatives hate on communism.

This isn’t about “drawing comparisons” this is about how you don’t understand why someone would champion open source software and hate on communism…because of course people hate on fucking communism, you dope.

It’s proven time and time again that communist governments bring suffering to their people. Like, some fucked up shit. Like starvation, inequality, and lack of basic human rights.

Whereas open source software can be educational, build cost effective solutions for people and businesses, and empower people’s lives.

You see the difference?

make millions of people felons overnight

Also wrong. I knew you were going to spout some far right bullshit propaganda.

Here, take some time to educate yourself.

Listen up people - it is okay to evolve our laws as we evolve as people. No one needs a fucking AR-15, and if you do, it should be regulated.

…JFC

You shouldn’t feel that way, because communism has absolutely nothing to do with open source software.

Communism is a political ideology.

Open source software is a licensing technique for creators and developers. Mostly so that no one has to worry about getting sued if they want to implement or modify said software. You think a communist government would even allow the use of open source software over government issued/approved software?
