I do not think teens under 18 should be handling a lethal weapon. Matter fact it should be over 21.

Cars are a lethal weapon, but they’re allowed to drive on public roads under supervision before they’re 16, and can drive without on private property. Kids under 18 are allowed access to cooking knives at whatever age, and should be taught how to cook before they’re adults. Teaching kids safe firearm operation under supervision is useful. Not only that, sharing hobbies with parents help with communication and bonding, giving the kids a better support structure while growing up.

Your black-and-white mindset of infantilizing teens like they’re completely incapable of handling anything before they’re 18 is demeaning and ultimately damaging to society as a whole. It leads to adults who’ve never learned skills they need to survive on their own.

I’m saying to hand rifles to toddlers, nor that the kids get unrestricted access to the guns. JFC it’s like you’re deliberately trying to misunderstand.

Where I live it’s normal for teens to go hunting alongside there parents, and when the guns aren’t in use they are stored in the family gun safe that only the parents can get into.

These parents also teach their kids gun safety, and with exposure the kids know that the guns aren’t toys to be played with. This shares similarities to how many European countries’ drinking age of 16 removes the novelty and rebellion of drinking, generally preventing them from drinking to excess

Most gun owners have more than one. If you’re a hunter, you might want to shoot different rounds for different game or seasons.

My state bans the use of rifles for deer hunting in most circumstances. In that example, you’d want 12ga for deer hunting, 20ga for duck, and 5.56 would be used for coyotes, boar, or groundhogs. And if you go boar hunting you’ll want a sidearm (9mm or .45) because they’ll gore you if they get the chance.

So that totals 4 guns for a single person with decent reasoning. Plus, if you had kids and took them hunting, you’d want at least 1 more of each type.

And for people who live in non-rural areas, you might decide to concealed carry a 9mm for protection. But handguns aren’t as ideal for home defense, so you might want a shotgun or 9mm carbine for that task, so that’d be 2 guns for 1 person.

The United States has over 4 times more murders per capita than France, for instance.

One thing a lot of people seem to forget is that the US has significantly more income inequality and significantly less social safety nets than France. Poverty drives crime.

What the US needs most is nationalized healthcare, deregulation of marijuana to cut down on mass incarceration (which breaks up families and drives poverty), actually taxing the rich, and better regulations and workers rights to prevent corporations from exploiting everyone

It does cost money to provide healthcare. Funding doesn’t come from thin air.

Then tax the rich. There’s no reason for Jeff Bezos to pay less money than someone flipping burgers at McDonald’s.

Unfortunately we’re caught in a Republican scheme to remove government benefits by gutting taxes that was started during Nixon’s adminitration

Exactly this. If the US had proper social safety nets and low income inequality, all violence (which includes gun violence) would drop.

Also note that the arguments like in the OP only ever mention gun violence. It seems dishonest that they need to be that specific to get the narrative they want.

Hell, even SLS is in a better spot than Starship

That’s quitter talk

Says the guy whose comment history is 50% nonsensical, psychotic rants

Then it’s not a personal device

User at the top said they didn’t like the game, despite giving multiple tries.

Then you come in below them going “oh but ackshually it’s a masterpiece”

It’s the worn out story of the fanboys never being able to let other people dislike their favorite thing. If you can’t understand how that’s shitty, then it’s a you problem. Fuck off.

Says the person being nasty in the rest of their comment history.

Get over yourself, hypocrite

No. The kind of Mean Girls esque “polite assholery” of the previous comment needs to be addressed and called out for what it is.

The people that make those kinds of comments think they’re being nice when they really aren’t. If nobody points it out to them in a way that sticks out they’ll just keep doing it

Dude, just let them not like the fucking game. “Oh no! There’s a piece of criticism about the game! I must make a long-winded reply to make sure to balance it back out”.

Just stop.

Part of me is really confused they’re called “Endings”.

It’s just the writer being a pretentious twat

I thought it was shit overall, and was about 3 “playthroughs” in by the tine I finally dropped it

There’s Jerboa (the official one), Sync, Voyager, and over a dozen more different front ends.

Just search for Lemmy on Google Play or FDroid and you’ll find options

You could make a federated mod database (aka NexusMods replacement) that uses torrent for distribution to reduce stress on the servers. Could work a bit like PeerTube.

I would like to remind everyone that Crunchyroll is owned by Sony, which has done a generally terrible job at preventing and managing data breaches for decades now

The link leads to an error 404.

You can use a prepaid visa to buy account credits

Have you tried doing specifically that and/or do they claim you can do specifically that? I tried doing the same thing when making a Tuta account and it wouldn’t accept prepaid cards, though they do have a 3rd party source you can pay cash or Monero for gift card codes, giving true anonymity

but it’s not the biggest hassle to convert from monero to bitcoin for a purchase.

I think the issue is that Bitcoin hasn’t been anonymous for a few years now (unlike Monero).
