This is literally true, but also a simplistic way to characterize things. Legislation has increased and decreased in an ebb and flow over the decades since 1968 when gun were first truly regulated, but the overall legislative and lobbyist fight is about how far to continue - I know of (almost) no one who is arguing…

The two pack is one cent cheaper per bulb, regular price, too, if you’re looking for more than one when you “stock up.” Just FYI.

Right? Traffic is gotta be tops on that list. Not “L.A. bad” but pretty bad. Cost of everything, too, while not “Tokyo bad” is bad. How about bad attitudes? I had a corporate lawyer invite me and my dying mother into his home that used to be my great grandparents’ for a tour when we just showed up on his doorstep - in…

You mean “turn me into [spatula rack, cat rack, shoe rack, gun rack]” right?

Sincere condolences on the family you’ve lost to suicides.

This type of story is why I ended up becoming a safety trainer. Flat out. I could have easily just kept going to classes for myself, but I have taught hundreds of people for nothing, just to try to change this one thing in our society. I can’t say I’ve made a real difference, but hopefully my teaching has spread…

It’s actually somewhat common, and many clubs or ranges will rent space in a safe, or locker. It’s not the norm, or even the majority, though.

I would accept this as an axiom. And would apply it to (nearly) anything in your home. Spatulas? Yep. Cats? Definitely. Shoes? Without doubt.

There are lots of actual similarities, though, between cars and guns, and very few legal similarities. I agree with your core statement, though, snark aside, that it is a poor analogy in terms of the argument over who should own/use guns.

Baseball injures more people than shooting, sports-wise.

With all respect, I think you may be projecting something onto “gun owners” that really is just something that exists within you.

Being anti-gun doesn’t have to mean being anti-all-guns the same way that being pro-gun doesn’t have to mean being pro-all-guns.

I doubt that anyone reading this will be looking to vacation here, so I’m guessing that you are coming for business only. That said, here are my recommendations.

Late to the party, but once I did a ride-along on a boring Sunday morning shift. Officer pulled somebody over for mismatched brightness levels on the tails. I can’t tell you how hard I rolled my eyes. He could probably hear it.

And a Scotch coffee is Red Label in coffee with cream? English coffee with Beefeaters (or Pusser’s)?

Aaaaand there it is: the ad hominem. We’re done, you degenerate fuckwad.

I’m no longer paying for the service, but when I read the terms, nowhere - nowhere - did they say, “Oh, by the way, you’re paying $9.99 per month for us to give you movie tickets and to allow us to know where you are 100% of the day.” In fact, they said quite the opposite, to wit, that my location was necessary to…

This is what I come here for. This. Thank you.

I just cancelled the service - not because of this or anything specific, really - I wasn’t using it enough to make it worthwhile. They also just yanked the one theater that I’d usually go to, so that sorta ruined the mood. While I was at the other theater near me recently, I learned about Cinemark’s club-thingy (I…

I care, because it’s a paid service. If it were free, a la Facebook, I’d be right there with you. But if I’m paying, even a dollar, for them to track my location as often as they like, then I’m getting royally screwed over. Especially if that data is as important as they say it is. (In aggregate, I know, but still.)
