Remember when self-emolition was so insane that it hit page 1? Now you barely even hear about it online at all.

Two cannibals were eating a clown. One turned to the other and asked, “does this taste funny to you?”

That and because there are Democrats who are bought by the oil companies, just like Republicans.

Currently it is very heavily run by the genocidal religious nuts. Netanyahu needs them to stay in power, which is the part that he cares about. The only part he cares about probably, though I doubt he cares about Palestinians or even believes that they’re human. Like most religions, their divided opinions. But since the nutjobs have the keys right now, Netanyahu will do absolutely everything they demand if it keeps him from being ousted (and likely arrested).

Good question, but I expect as far as whether it should be there or not, it doesn’t really matter. There is no harm in it being there, after all. And in the end, if it helps one single person not kill themself, I’d say that’s a win.

Clearly you have neither spoken to a veteran at length, not are you one yourself. But here, I’ll explain it. The reason you call multiple rules/laws “the first” is because they’re all both equally and critically important.

Ask multiple veterans what the 1st rule of warfare is, you’ll get multiple different answers. If you then reply with “I thought this other one was the first rule of warfare” they will reply to the effect of “yeah, it is.”

Because firearms are dangerous tools that serve the singular purpose of killing or destroying a target, any target, and have been from inception to the modern day, every safety rule is just as important as all the others. Ergo, multiple first rules of firearmb safety.

And yet the GOP (mostly) either don’t give a fuck, have no moral courage, or are bought and paid for by the firearm industry. And then they use fear to keep their base glued to their propaganda machine and voting them into power on a loop.

Meanwhile the DNC keep trying to compromise as if both sides were still using the same playbook (which they ain’t) and have thus drifted so far to the right that they’re basically Republican lite. So much so that when progressives try to yank them back to their roots, the Republicrats resist and call the progressives “too extreme”.

Gawd I hate this quagmire.

“Very good people” indeed, ya orange turd.

Okay gallows humor here, fair warning.

Have you ever made a fucking smoothie? Do you know how hard it is to get that last little bit of ice to properly puree? Now imagine trying to blend fucking bone.

So… The American system (mostly)?

Rule#1 of responsible gun ownership: always assume the gun is loaded

Also

Rule#1 of responsible gun ownership: never point a gun barrel at somebody unless you intend to kill them.

By the same government encouraging their armament. “Give them guns” and also “they’re coming for YOU so be afraid!”

Ego. Trump’s narcissistic, authoritarian personality won’t allow him to retreat or surrender in what he sees as a popularity contest.

Trump Cultists: maybe if we put it on a blue poster we can trick them into voting for Trump!

Ankylosaurus. Extinct, but still. It’s like what you’d get if you shoved a turtle, a rhino, and a dragon into that teleporter from The Fly .

Well if they’re an e-girl they’re going to sell it online for a hundred bucks.

Oh NOW he thinks they’ve gone too far.

Also that’s where everybody keeps their money so they’re going to have things to say about it. With missiles.

I’ve also heard that you can get alarms that either turn on a light, or slowly increase a light intensity in the room to mimic a sunrise. I would try one of those in combination with a proper alarm or three, unless you use like a sleep mask or something.
