I somehow got on the Trump campaign’s email list and periodically get garbage from them. I received the following email less than 4 hours after it happened.

ALERT FROM TRUMP My resolve is only stronger after another attempt on my life! I will never slow down. I will never give up. I WILL NEVER SURRENDER! I thank God every day for having supporters like you on my side. On November 5th, WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! MAGA

– followed by suggested donation amounts ranging from $24 to $3300. The grift never ends.

No, they’re in c/vegan

I didn’t disagree with that part. Doing what you suggested and using the “vape detectors” aren’t mutually exclusive.

Considering they are only harming themselves

Again, we’re talking about actual children. You know: people that have yet to mentally develop to the point where they can make fully informed decisions on everything and sometimes have to be “coerced” by reasonable adults into doing so.

There’s this wild, outlandish idea that kids don’t have the maturity, experience, or impulse control to make informed and rational decisions all the time. Thus we don’t give kids the exact same rights and responsibilities we give to adults – they gradually gain them as they mature and demonstrate they can handle them.

How would you like this installed in your workplace?

Yes, because my workplace staffed entirely by people 21+ is the same thing as a school filled with literal children. Also, for some unknowable reason we don’t have issues with people vaping in the building despite having people that smoke and vape. Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the fact none of us are teenagers.

What if [slippery slope]?

You do know that’s a fallacy, right?

Because those are normal people. “Lifestyle” communities on the internet invariably devolve into groupthink cesspits of the most unhinged followers of that lifestyle.

Veganism is the worst. It’s like the terminally online crazies can telepathically detect anyone discussing veganism and descend en-mass.

… good?

Everyone (even kids) have a reasonable expectation of privacy, but children using drugs in school isn’t something that falls under that reasonable expectation of privacy.

Stupidity combined “fuck you, I’ve got mine.”

How dare people cope with something horrible by making jokes. Everyone knows it’s impossible to make those jokes while simultaneously being horrified by and pushing back against the thing they’re joking about.

Conversely, I’m a big fan of backup cameras. They’re a mandated safety feature on new cars for a reason.

A fisheye lens on the very back of the car gives much better situational awareness while backing out of a parking spot while flanked by two huge pickups/SUVs/vans.

Getting older, with an established career makes spontaneity harder as it is. Add kids to the mix and it’s pretty much impossible.

I … don’t want that. I like making last minutes plans, 1-2 week long trips, etc. The most limiting factor for me is dropping off my cat at one of my many friends/family members that can watch it (and I reciprocate with their pets).

If I’m going to date it’s going to be with someone with a compatible lifestyle.

“Computer” is literally anything that performs computations – it even used to be a job title.

“Mechanical Computers” were almost exclusively limited in what they could compute.

What’s even worse is they’re doing it to ban anything they label porn, aka anything they label “obscene”. Those penalties they list are to imprison their ideological enemies: anyone not straight or “Christian”.

On the other hand, have you ever people-watched at an REI?

People that have absolutely no idea what they’re doing buying thousands of dollars of top-end gear is par for the course. Panicking, inexperienced people do dumb things: like not push an SOS button or even realizing the inReach Messenger they bought to text in the back country has one under that clearly marked cover.

$5 says it was a Garmin inReach device.

They really aren’t: it’s just going to add a little thickness, weight, and cost to the phone. Screws and gaskets aren’t exactly rocket science.

Fascists love their “martyrs for the cause”.

You’re absolutely right. However, they were going to find a reason regardless, since violence was always their end goal.

If it wasn’t this idiot it would have been something else: Trump losing the election is any easy one. The “Boogaloo crowd” resorting to violence was inevitable – the only thing that has changed is we can no longer pretend it’s tomorrow’s problem.

Furries do the back-end stuff, Femboys do anything client-facing.

Both are about hateful idiots causing harm to someone else and choosing to ignore it.

Fallacy of …

It’s a simile, you dork.
