I don't mind paying for YouTube Premium.
  • So what should we do? Avoid all monetized information sources? I don't pay for YT except with my time until I can skip an ad. But if you stop and think no information source is free. Libraries - over inflated taxes on an already middle to lower class that can't afford the luxury tax breaks the ultra rich can buy, the internet - if it's a free site then it's selling your data skimmed from accessing the page. So what should we be supporting? Where should we be sharing and consuming knowledge in a 100% no cost to the user atmosphere?

    Did the Lemmy boom die? What should I follow to get the most?

    I Hate Easter
  • Haha thanks for the lecture dad. Simple vent about the fact religion and sports should not even be related.

    And the fact stands, they don’t change the schedule for religious holidays. NFL - Thanksgiving/Christmas, Baseball - Pick a holiday between Spring and Fall, NBA - Christmas. But you’re right, I’m sure this lunatic crying for a Good Friday bye will get their attention and is completely reasonable.

  • I Hate Easter

    I hate Easter. Pretty much always have and I think I always will. Let’s all freak out about Jesus pulling a hat trick. Well guess what folks, zombies aren’t real so Jesus didn’t pop out of a tomb after three days. Sorry for the spoiler.

    But my biggest issue with it is the religious fanatics. Like people seem to lose their minds over the Jesus shit. This guy for example wants to rearrange an entire baseball schedule. My in laws are going to cram 25 people into a house that can’t fit more than 10. All because of Zombie Jesus. Thank you Zombie Jesus for ruining my spring every year, asshat.

    Voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, judge rules
  • Great. You have one YouTube video to base an entire argument off of. Look of body cam footage of OIS, look up security camera footage of self defense shootings, learn something about the matter before you watch one clip on the internet before you come on here and advocate for lethal noisemakers. No duh people run from gun fire. There are also countless court cases and documented investigations where a single person continued to assault an individual after taking 40+ rounds to vital organs throughout their bodies.

    Can you predict the future? Do you know what kind of person is going to break into your home? Is that person of a sound mind? Is that person high on some substance that takes them so far out of reality and their body it’s as if they have super human strength? The answer is you don’t know. Limiting these tools for responsible citizens endangers their lives. Again, I am for gun control. But responsible gun control that is thought out and not implemented out of fear mongering and panic voting.

  • Voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, judge rules
  • Pot calling the kettle black. Unlike you, I have read the bill. I knew what I voted for when I chose not to support Measure 114. You asked me to hand you supporting evidence for my viewpoints on a silver platter, I don’t do that for keyboard warriors such as yourself. If you’d like to show your interested in a legitimate discussion by showing some sort of fact from your way of looking at it I’m happy to look at it. Your sarcastic claim that I “obviously want you to agree with me” is grotesquely mistaken and again keyboard warrior click bait. Good luck with your journey, you obviously have nothing further to offer.

  • Voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, judge rules
  • Sooooo a firearm was a tool used to defend their home. Because the homeowner knew their target. One of four basic firearm safety rules. Huh.

    Their intention was not to “create sound.” Aren’t you proving my point? A well armed homeowner successfully defended their home? Nobody should EVER use the sounds of gunshots to deter anybody from any action. It’s irresponsible and an unsafe firearm ownership practice. Period.

    It’s people like you who jeopardize the Second Amendment Rights of responsible firearm owners all across this country.

  • Voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, judge rules
  • You should never blindly fire a firearm. That’s the first rule of gun safety. I’m not watching a video promoting unsafe firearm practices. You’re part of the problem if you’re promoting blind firing a gun inside your house or anywhere. Buy some firecrackers and pull a Home Alone if that’s your desired effect, not a firearm.

  • Thank you for the vulgarities to express your point. I can assure you I am better versed in the world of first responders. My point is that the city in which I live is so understaffed on police that there was nobody to respond to provide cover for Fire and EMS to conduct their duties for the overdosing individual.

  • Voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, judge rules
  • You obviously don’t understand firearms and this is not the place to educate you on them. I am proud of you for questioning stats on the internet, now go and research them for yourself. Use medical journals as your sources. Or university studies. Wikipedia, Tik Tok and the likes don’t count.

    As far as the car dealership analogy you’ve missed the point. To even begin the conversation you have to have an extra certification. I’m not talking about your driver’s license. And again I am pro gun control.

    As for the AR’s 30 round mag. Research, again through academic sources, the history and purpose of the AR and you’ll understand it’s not a “weapon of mass destruction.” The 30 round capacity is misleading to the firearms capabilities.

    Thank you for your perspective I wish you luck in your educational journey!

  • Voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, judge rules
  • I’m sorry but you don’t know what you’re talking about. I feel bad life experiences have led you to feel the way you do but you simply don’t know the truth. I can over another example of calling 911, being placed on hold for 15 minutes, bounced around dispatch centers three times and then finally connected to the correct one and then waiting on scene of a fentanyl overdose for 45 minutes because the nearest available officer, again in a major city, was the only one who could respond.

    These are the decisions of people voting to cut funding. This has nothing to do with police unions, who are funded directly out of the police officers paychecks by the way. If you’d like to discuss police reform, which this country does need, I’d be happy to do that on another forum but this discussion is about gun control. My point with mentioning the police was that we as private citizens are facing fewer and fewer options to protect ourselves. Thank you for your perspective.

  • Voter-approved Oregon gun control law violates the state constitution, judge rules
  • I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to articulate here. What does sound have to do with anything? Firearms are not “noise deterrents.” And firing a warning shot is not an appropriate means of firearm safety let alone a viable option for protecting loved ones or yourself. I’d be excited to understand your point better.

    Legitimate Supplemental Income while UnEmployed

    Hello! I am looking for some suggestions on supplemental income while I am job hunting. Unfortunately I had to leave my career unexpectedly due to incessant racism and discrimination.

    I have looked into DoorDash (doesn’t seem all that worth it when you start doing the numbers), Fiverr, and I’m currently looking into maybe selling on Etsy.

    My main concern is how competitive the current job market is and how long job searches are taking. I would like to at least have a trickle of something coming in.

    Thank you for any suggestions in advance!

    They're not People...They're numbers...

    This is the message my missionary brother in law chose to share with his family and my fiancé during his weekly call home. Good reminder to all of us who were just beginning to feel like a person again, we’re just numbers to Mormon Corp. and their salespeople.

    For context he was quoting his MP who was talking to them about getting more baptisms in their mission 🤨

    Banned from Four for Making One

    TLDR: Replicated a Reddit sub, banned from four communities.

    I’m about to gooooooo off!!! So I love Reddit. I love it. I have adhd and depression, name a better candidate to love their dumpster fire. I’m also all for this blackout. But that means I’m losing my favorite sub, so I thought. So I got proactive and built it here on the Fediverse. Big mistake. I get it made and then reach out to the mods on Discord in private via a ticket because I’m not using Reddit right now. They got pissed and told me to take it down, well it’s the internet so no. I leave it at that and move on. Well fast forward a few hours and this power hungry mod banned me from the Discord, and then proceeds to permanently banned me not only from the sub I had replicated but two other subs not even part of it. Reddits response you ask? “Oh yes this is totally fine and they’re allowed to power trip.” I have screenshots of it all but I’ll provide the one so you can see I didn’t start it off wrong nor end it rude when I made my proposal. I’m so fucking pissed. Fuck Reddit.
