I’m here for entertainment and to engage with opinions, views and perspectives different than my own to grow myself. I don’t care if you downvote but if you don’t engage me I can’t learn from it so I may block you as I’ll take it that you don’t want to see my content.
When I left Reddit I used the tool to change all my comments to “u/Spez is a fucking loser”, then once all changed I used it to mass delete, then deleted my account.
I just checked and none of my comments resurfaced. Though maybe my contribution to Reddit was just not important in any useful way.
I’ll adjust my comment because I realize it might be confusing. It’s protected by ADA but it doesn’t meet the requirements for a disability claim under Social Security:
I hope they recover their vision. As someone who lost sight in one eye I can attest that going from binocular to monocular vision is life altering AND not considered a disability under the law Social Security requirements but typically is covered by ADA.
Edit: clarification.
You don’t raise a gun and point it at people unless you intend to shoot it at them.
You’re also supposed to be sure of your target and what is beyond it. That’s literally rule 4 of gun safety. It exists so that you don’t, ya know, shoot and kill or injure innocent bystanders.
It’s odd how a peacekeeper for the protest felt there was such an imminent threat they fired in an unsafe manner and yet Gamboa didn’t return fire, or shoot into the crowd or, in fact, fire a single round. The short clip floating around seems to show him running after being shot at.
Treat every firearm as if it were loaded: This means assuming a gun is always loaded, even
Always point the muzzle in a safe direction: Never point a gun at anything you don’t intend to shoot, and be mindful of the direction the muzzle is pointed, even when the gun is not loaded.
Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot: Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are on target and have made the conscious decision to fire.
Be sure of your target and what is beyond it: Before firing, identify your target and be aware of what is behind it, as bullets can travel through or ricochet off of objects.
Brandish a firearm in public
Be real careful applying the term “brandish”.
Utah is a constitutional carry state, meaning anyone 21+ who can legally own a firearm can carry it concealed or openly without a permit.
In my state, Minnesota, you have to take a class and qualify to carry a firearm and during the state approved training your told to follow these steps:
The issue I have in the US is that, in Minnesota at least, the only reason to move into a crosswalk is to turn right on red however you’re supposed to stop at the crosswalk before proceeding across it and almost nobody does.
Edit: Also, happy cake day!
It might have been intended as a joke but I, and I’m sure thousands of other Minnesotans, don’t find it funny. It also serves to normalize the behavior of America’s wannabe despot and spreads misinformation to those who don’t know better.
Responding to a polite request with some variation of “It was just a joke” speaks volumes.
Intent is different from impact; we may intend a comment in one way, but it may be interpreted by others differently. Importantly: we are responsible for the impact, not just the intent, of our words and actions.
I guess, though Saint Paul is a different county and they’re literally all over.
Stillwater, Olmsted County, State Patrol, Richfield, Eden Prairie, Edina, Bloomington, St Louis Park, Airport and Hopkins, Sauk Rapids, Golden Valley, U of M police, Inver Grove Heoghts, Blaine to name a few.
Please stop spreading this. He will be charged by the state which would require the Minnesota Pardon Board to vote to pardon him. That’s the Governor, the State AG and the Chief Justice of the state Supreme Court. 2/3 would be required to vote in favor of a pardon.
More frightening, I think. I worry most for the children and young adults in the US.
Because a lot of states, Minnesota included, have more sensible processes and rules than the federal government.
The mistake you’re making is thinking Minnesotans will let this man walk free because the Pretender in Chief says so.
We’ll stick this asshole with the 28th Virginia battle flag and they can come and try to collect him.
I think you misunderstood. I wasn’t talking about the people who claim to have some European origin but the practice in general in the US of acknowledging ancestral ethnic heritage as part of where you’re from.
Descendants of slaves generally have very little knowledge about the origin of their ancestors.
This might be true now, but 200 years ago people were brought here from other countries unwillingly and had children here. If we’re were forcefully taken to another country and then had children at some point I would talk to them about the people left behind and where I came from.
That’s the road trip film he did right? I think I have it, just haven’t watched it yet.
Coming everyday to sit with me in the hospital for a month; from the ICU all the way to the general ward until he walked out the front door with me.
I always knew my dad loved me but he wasn’t great at expressing it, but it was never more apparent than during that time.
They can be used interchangeably typically but anytime in this usage is grammatically correct. Any time usually would be preceded by a preposition like, “at any time” and is a noun. Anytime is an adverb.
I get this. I was listening to a podcast, Conan O’Brien’s I think, where Will Ferrell came up and they were talking about how he’s typically a pretty straightforward and serious kind of person off camera.
He turns it on for the camera but it’s not who he is in real life. There’s nothing wrong with it per se but it made him seem a lot more disingenuous to me.
Yes! I loved playing this game on our old 486.
