I mean Lemmy has been growing. Think of it as anarchist reddit- no CEO, no ads, no data collected.
I’m only back on reddit because I like to be evangelical from time to time, and I used to mod r/mapporncirclejerk so I like to pop by and say hi.
Edit: I forgot I was on Lemmy lol
I guess I wish we had a Swiss model of gun ownership. Everyone is mandated to have a firearm, but they are all kept in local safehouses. That said the purpose for that is to keep them neutral in war rather than have a force that can fight their own government.
I would like to see a balance of not crazy gun nuts owning guns, and especially when I get worried about a civil war, I would like to know when the proud boys march into my community to shoot us that we could shoot back.
At some point, picket signs just don’t match an AR-15.
Also thank you for being kind!
Where do you think all those red balloons come from?
Sounds like a “No True Scott” situation pal
Idk I don’t think there are MAGA assholes in the queer militia.
I mean I’ve been listed as in remission for the past 5 years so something is going right
Awww c’mon, you don’t wanna torture motorists? Y’all don’t have a sense of whimsey and bloodlust.
Well we better get fucking started on making our own.
Once again - operation blazing sword and the pink pistols are leftists, LGBTQ, and BIPOC defense focused groups.
There is nothing that says we can’t create our own militia, in fact there is something that says we can called the 2nd amendment.
Also check your states laws for firearm ownership. I was diagnosed bipolar after being involuntarily hospitalized in 2015 in Spokane- according to Washington State law, I have a lifetime ban on owning a firearm, however I moved to Chicago where the ban is only 5 years long.
Many of us are disabled in some way, so the state may disenfranchise us for better or for worse, but I think it’s important we can defend ourselves.
It’s sad- 10 years ago I’d be fine with a firearm ban, but the world changed. Its time we focus on community safety, and especially for us who don’t wear red hats.
Also the youth vote usually doesn’t support the incumbent as kids kinda like to rebel.
Mike Lee? The same guy who laughed in the face of 9/11 first responders pleading for health care due to the cancer they developed from the debris of the twin towers, and then said “you must have some great stories to tell!”?
I mean this is actually what the second amendment was for, it would be nice if the NRA said something.
If you go left enough you get your guns back.
Personally I’m against pedestrianization of Pike Place. It’s a literal tourist trap. Ever clueless car that finds itself in that hell warms my heart.
Let the cars in, make them suffer.
If anything, in my 30 years I’ve learned degrees only mean so much. Someone without a degree but with actual on the job experience will out perform a new grad any day of the week.
Frankly the university system has become a way to make sure the poor stay poor.
Maybe they’re gonna go full Yamaha.
Can’t wait to play a Honda Tenor Saxophone.
Hey, at least it brought us here. And now that Lemm.ee is going away I’m doing this whole thing again.
Also consider social factors- chances are more baby’s are made during celebrations, and wintertime has a BUNCH of those. I’ve hooked up with so many people after the NYE midnight kiss, lord knows how many kids I have running around this city.
Just saw the recent south park episode- absolutely killed. Poor Cartman is nothing withoutout the woke 😢
