This is not a mental illness. That's the Fox News scapegoat, not an actual reason. This is just complete ignorance of gun danger in a country that celebrates giving out firearms like candy without any kind of training or licensing requirements. This is a dangerous lack of gun laws and an ignorant gun owner. Here in Canada, we have lots of guns but a far lower rate of accidents and murders. Pistols are restricted, which means the only places you're allowed to ever have a pistol is locked in your home, at the gun range, or at the gunsmith, or locked in truck on a direct route between those locations. You aren't allowed to keep ammo in the same container as the gun, never mind keeping one actually loaded. You know all of this because you had to take a safety course and pass a written and practical exam before you are allowed to own even a .22. The restricted license is yet another course and set of exams.

This is the fault of the laws of the land and the mother's ignorance. Don't bring mental illness into it, that's ablist bullshit.

Almost like our tools are alien to him for some reason.

I grew up eating vegetables flavored with boiled water. My parents thought they cracked the gourmet code when they switched to steam flavored veggies. I had no idea vegetables could be delicious until I was an adult.

I'm in BC. It has been a 2 party system forever. Liberals and NDP have always been the only electable parties running.

This is Medici, where they speak Interligua, a sort of blend of Spanish, Catalan, French, and Italian and where the world's largest natural source of bavarium was found. I remember reading about the revolution a few years ago that ousted the dictatorship that got powerful on the back of Bavarium mining. The US was caught blatantly supporting both sides, but the revolutionaries won and now they are a democracy again.

Italy too!

It's more than acceptance, its saying its the little imperfections that make something even more endearing than if they were perfect. A bit of wabi-sabi gives character, or makes things feel less sterile, or more natural. Perfection can be less pleasant than imperfection. Not always, I want my airplane engines made perfectly. But something like handmade clay plates and bowls with wabi-sabi are great.

Huh, it's got some similarities to the Persian flaw, thinking about it. The intentional inclusion of an error in Persian rugs as perfection is for God alone. Imperfection is human.

Strange women in unimatrices distributing nanoprobes is no system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical technological indoctrination.

The best thing I ever did TV wise was ignoring fan opinions about shows I want to watch before watching it. Hive minds plant seeds and set expectations, you can't even passively read it. You gotta shut it out and avoid it. I really liked Kenobi, I think more people would have too if they didn't see the angry reddit nerds picking it apart, coloring their first watch.

Without providing an alternative, this infographic (not a meme) is useless to me. For all I know, every other kind of trouser is worse. Without a source for the data, it could all just be lies.

Remember when every billionaire apologist was telling us how no one would do shit like this when net neutrality was being gutted?
