rant, guns, uspol 

Can I just say as a gun owner: 95% of gun owners are utterly insane. I just read a piece arguing that a laser on a handgun works as an "effective deterrent" because "would-be attackers... will notice a red or green dot on their body and will probably think twice before coming any closer."

In order to do this you need to train a handgun on somebody without firing it for long enough for them to notice that their body has a laser on it and make the conscious decision to call off the "attack." If that's going to happen, it's going to happen when you pull a gun on them (spoilers: most people do not call off their "attack" when a deadly weapon gets brandished at them, they go into fight-or-flight mode and come at you harder). This advice is going to get people killed. Laser sights are for you to see where you're aiming, as a supplement to irons or a red-dot. Using them as a threat is a good way to turn a potential robber (that seems to be the most common justification for these "self-defense situations") into a cornered animal fighting for their life in a split second. If you pull a gun on someone, fucking shoot them. This John Wayne bullshit is for cowboys and neo-Nazis - and that's who *I'm* thinking of when I say " attacker." It's unsurprising that the author of this piece of terrible advice cut his teeth doing war crimes to unarmed Iraqi and Afghani civilians.

meta subtoot, corporations on fedi 

And so the arguing over "is this corporation behaving badly enough to ban or should we let them continue posting noise?" begins...

This is *precisely* why you ban corporations on sight, because this is how it goes every time, and the outcome is also the same every time: a dishonest wasteland of corporations trying to emulate human connection

could liberals be lighting incense in your home? sources say "it smells like sandalwood."

some Br*tish Petroleum executive: no NO stop sending us feet pics that's NOT how we calculate your personal carbon footprint!!!1!

With this whole 'metaverse' hype it's really obvious who was around for Second Life and who wasn't
