I’m not sure I’d agree that tackling system factors would be required for a gun ban to reduce deaths - though some of those factors arguably could have more impact than the ban would.

I think one of those systemic issues is that the US has an unhealthy relationship with guns, from my understanding they’re often treated like toys rather than lethal weapons, and I think strict regulation would help combat that too.

I’d personally start by actually reading the announcement before complaining about it’s content but you do you I guess

from the firmware to the operating system

Ok, and?

Oh yes, because clearly the intended reading of that comment was “you deserve to be free from the AI” /s

Holy shit, you hear someone is so lonely that their only friend is a computer system, and your takeaway is that they deserve to be alone? Have some fucking empathy

Hey, this is my screenshot I posted on Reddit a few years back!

Figured what out?

I mean, they’re right that it’s not FOSS - the F is free as in available to anybody who may wish to use it, which is incompatible with defining who is allowed

Isn’t near transit stations exactly where you’d want to put high density housing?

Alright, wrap it up boys, we’ve been made

I broadly agree, but I think there’s a bit of a “correlation is not causation” effect at play, too

I would expect people who are very career-focused would prioritise socialising less, and also be more willing to do a long commute for a job they are highly invested in. But the reduced socialising wouldn’t necessarily be caused by the commuting (not entirely, at least).

Are you saying that because you genuinely believe your statement isn’t an instance of the slippery slope fallacy, or because you want to insult me?

slippery slope fallacy

They’re validating the policy of the instance on the basis of the police tactics potentially being used against them, not the tactics themselves

It makes it difficult to use the pavement, especially for elderly people and people with disabilities, costs the council a bunch of time and money to repair, and doing the repairs often require killing off the tree

I think the best example of how deeply ingrained classism is in the UK is the video of now ex-Prime-Minister Rishi Sunak as a young man:

I have friends who are aristocrats, I have friends who are upper class, I have friends who are working class… well, not working class.

I think people often don’t immediately see how stark the class divide is in the UK, especially tourists, because the UK has a relatively large middle class especially around touristy areas. But the difference between Kensington and, say, Middlesbrough is stark

What point are you trying to make?

That there’s better FOSS software (just generally)?

That there’s better FOSS document editing software?

That you don’t like Libreoffice dark mode?

It looks pretty good to me

I like him, so we’re up to America + this one guy

When in doubt, double down with more slurs, I guess?

Technically, it’s basically equivalent to “oh my god”, but the Vietnamese phrase Oi Troi Oi is outstanding
