I get my mexican food from real mexican restaurants, but even Moe’s is better than Chipotle and they should be ashamed of that.
“Oh what a coincidence now that you cancelled on me I’ll be doing the same thing (well mine’s a gameboy and I’m walking not scrolling but same same), wanna just combine forces on that and maybe touch butts?”
I wanna say it was more than that, I don’t remember the number but I remember saying “damn that’s a lot.” I wanna say it was maybe like 10?
(Sort of a side note, but) I would argue that guns are designed to fire a projectile. That’s it, nothing more. The other stuff comes in externally: What are you firing at, and why? That is what determines if you’re hunting, target shooting, competing, murdering, self defensing, etc.
If you’re firing a projectile at an animal for food? Hunting. At paper for practice? Target shooting. At paper for a good score compared to others? Competing. At people who aren’t trying to kill you? Murdering. At people who are? Self defense. All depends on how you’re using it.
It could even be murder, if you can prove the driver had intent/premeditation.
But to answer your questions RE: meme/law, look which comm this is in lol. Can’t let logic get in the way of “car bad.”
I was there when it was invite only, child. They used to have an IM chat too.

Shit happens ig. Got a new job and now I’m able to afford it alone, she’s gone, shit rules.
I always do the second option lol, they don’t seem to catch on.

Can someone tell this to my “faster faster” ass boss?
ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Protester appears to fire gun at ICE agents near Camarillo12·2 天前Heads up that stat is disingenuous. It was taken during covid (which contributed to a decline in the true cause, auto fatalities), included “children ages 0-19” (some of which are decidedly not legally children), and only took place in a few major cities (IIRC NYC, LA, CHI, BAL, and one or two more I can’t recall because it’s been 5+yr,) all cities known for their gang problems. Gangs which often ensnare kids as young as elementary school to deliver packages, but it usually starts to get more violent at ~15-18. Most of the kids shot were involved in that life, which is still a problem yes, but it’s usually spun as if 5yos are mostly dying from school shootings, which simply isn’t the case and the methodology was flawed to give that false impression. If they’d have done it with a wider sample it likely would have still been car crashes even then, and it’s certainly back by now.
The one with just the green lines? If so, Battle Zone, fucking classic.
No, it’s a race against my cat, can I get it on before she gets the fuck in the way? lol
I have a man,
I have pineapple,
Pineappleman?

Yeah good call, idek your company, site, or industry, and I don’t need to. As someone who has to deal with the same shit from a customer perspective I can’t hate it enough.
Professional websites should all aspire to be like McMaster-Carr’s, “you know why you are here why should we bug you with bullshit, now what size roll pins did you need?” Literally one of my favorite websites of all time, no muss no fuss.
ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you believe that the people should be able to have guns to protect themselves, or should the police have the sole authority to own and posess guns to protect the people?13·5 天前274 justifiable homicides involving a private citizen using a firearm
Ok, and how many defensive uses of a firearm occurred that year where the defender did not kill the attacker? Cases where the attacker was merely injured, or the defender missed, or the attacker ran off at the sight of the firearm? Why are those entirely omitted, does it only count as self defense if the attacker dies, not if one successfully stops the attack without a justifiable homicide?
And while we’re at it, how many justifiable homicides occurred that year with your defensive weapon of choice, The Hammer? If the metric used to determine a weapon’s viability for defense is simply justifiable homicides/yr, blind bet: it’s less than 274.
Btw
only 1.1 percent of victims of attempted or completed violent crimes used a firearm,
While around 45% of people own a gun, only 21% of people carry a gun ever, and even less carry everywhere always, and this figure doesn’t take into account whether or not the victims had a gun on them with which to defend themselves. This stat is entirely meaningless without controling for that.
and only 0.3 percent of victims of attempted or completed property crimes used a firearm.
Well that’s illegal unless you’re in Texas at night, so, unless that’s all they’re counting this makes me further question the voracity of the study. You’re telling me that 0.3 percent of people in the study successfully justifiably killed someone for something that is illegal to kill people for? That’s not how this works lol.
