Lol, yes, I "cherry picked" all kinds of crime that don't involve fire-arms because they are banned in your country. Now if we could control for other demographics, you would see a majority of murders in the US are from black gang warfare. So if you live in the suburbs, I would bet the effective crime rate is lower than the UK in all facets.

Yes, you guys have less "violent crime" yet you have twice as many rapes, 18% more murders, 25% more criminal victims overall, 22% more property crimes 35% more car thefts...

The evidence isn't as clear as you say it is. Yes, gun deaths go down. All other crime goes up.

I think that part of it stems from the "Zero Tolerance" stance on violence. At one point, kids could settles their differences though a shoving match or fight. Now that's expulsion from school.

.

Kids aren't supposed to have everything figured out already, including emotional regulation. If the aggression could be handled properly and not with a heavy hand, then I believe it would be less likely that the first means of recourse is pew pew.

Secondly, I think the number of people who own mass casualty weapons has gone up. The right wing has made it your American duty to own the libs by buying an AR-15 style rifle. Gun ownership percentages may have remained the same. Gun types have changed. In the 50-60's the most popular rifles were .22 LR bolt action or lever rifles. Today tactical rifles and shotguns take the top tier. Just like it would be hard to have a mass shooting with a musket, it also isn't exactly easy to do it with a 6 shooter and bolt action rifle, or double barrel shotgun.

I think you may underestimate black-balling the union if you are an entertainment company of any size. First of all SAG is just one of the many unions, IATSE, WGA, DGA etc. If you want to make stuff all by yourself or with scabs you can, but you won't be getting the best in the field by a long shot.

It seems the running gag with AI is that the content can't be protected because there was no "artist" to grant the rights to. So I wonder if going all AI would allow "fair use" of the properties that they can't copyright/trademark/etc.

God's existence has no tangible evidence. anything provided with no evidence can be dismissed with no evidence.

Man and woman have multiple meanings, as you show in your statement saying "biological man" but then using the non specific term "woman" I would agree that a "biological male" can not be a "biological woman" but that isn't the only type of woman there is. Sex and Gender Identity are two different things. Are sex organs the only thing that defines gender? What about chemical makeup? What if you have a dick but wide hips and boobs? In no instance is life black and white. Life as always has been a crazy quilt of diversity, it is the strength of evolution.

Clearly the science is split on the cause and the best course of action, but there is certainly a phenomenon going on that should be studied and understood. Why would people want to leave their own gender for a life of ridicule?

The people who are trans feel they are being genuine, so clearly that exists. The only opinion is how to handle that situation.

Kindly,

It was always funny to me, it was "Genuine Intel" "Authentic Amd" and "Cyrix Instead". Like, Cyrix just couldn't come up with a positive adjective to describe their processors, and it was fitting.

People who go to expensive parties like this, many times fly out, buy what they need at Walmart, and leave it all there and fly back. We see that at our local festival campground whenever there is an event that attracts yuppies.

Well Intel (genuine) found out they can't trademark a number. and AMD (authentic) and Cyrix (Instead) would just claim to sell the same procs with the same numbers and less performance, Especially Cyrix. So they had to come up with cute names they could trademark.

Nintendo's root have always been in game theory, they made card games to start. I think they have something that is different than all the others, and I would hate to see that go away. Maybe I am a fanboy. Nintendo was my second console, Atari First, and Genesis third, and by far, I am more a PCMR than any console. But Nintendo hits a niche that others just don't.

First of all, they make couch co-op games, which is rare with Xbox and PS. Secondly, they make games that can be easily played by people at all ages and abilities. You may not win Super Smash brothers by just mindlessly smashing the buttons, but also, the controls are easy to learn, and master.

I get it, If you are a "hard core" gamer, a switch is a kids toy. But that's what it is, and excels at. Family fun. The switch is in the living room, the Xbox is in the man-cave with the PC and PS4. I would hate to see Nintendo lose that to efficiency.

It is a federal form, states can make laws about gun ownership, but the federal government cant. Here are some recent cases to back this. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Flegal%2F... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.forbes.com%2Fsites%2Fd...

I have found that DDG is better at finding things like Manuals, tech information, etc. Google wins if you want to know what time a business closes and how many people are there.

China is one of the few countries not mean mugging them. Also, they are buying all their oil. At the end of the day, Russia doesn't want to bite the hand that feeds when it is the last one feeding them.
