To be shot in the face and still return to protesting against injustice is the height of bravery and dedication.

I think as mainstream porn has become more extreme more people are viewing it as harmful.

My library also has Hoopla, maybe yours does as well?

I am in the middle of fracking country. I can’t go to certain parks because the chemical smell the wells give off makes me lightheaded. One of the workers I met said they also use copious amounts of biocides to keep the wells clear of growth.

Police in my town spend a significant amount of time at the scenes of car accidents. I wonder what percentage of their time?

Their priority should be on crime and accident response and prevention and I feel like it is in my small town. I don’t know how this compares to police in larger cities, which makes studies like these valuable.

Lol, so accurate.

Oh dear God. Kids don’t need “nifty gadgets” to learn, they need an authentic learning community and a reason to care.

Everyone would share the yacht? Like a timeshare.

Damn it. My shop has used Shopify for years. One reason I chose it was the excellent customer service and help I received as a new small business owner.

Greedy people at the top of companies are always trying to squeeze more money out of their operation, to the detriment of everyone.

Perhaps employees should co-own the companies they work for so they can be part of the decision-making process.

It’s called DishBrain, a silly name for something terrifying…

And your penis!

It is also much more complex than that. Some educated and otherwise intelligent people also voted for Trump.

In addition to taxation, make them share their wealth with all of their employees. Their working people deserve the money more than the government.

These “justices” are a national disgrace and make a mockery of our justice system. They must be impeached and removed and ethics and honor restored. (This requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate which is unlikely to happen since many senators are equally corrupt and need to be removed as well.)

I agree that would suck. It would have to be a reliable feature that does not put the user at risk.

It would make it harder for high schoolers and dumb criminals to shoot up schools, unless they are sophisticated enough to build their own guns. Increasing the barrier for entry would not be a bad idea.

Um, the US government IS better armed than its citizens. Also, I would say ideas and behavioral controls are more effective at controlling citizens than weaponry outside of a war.

People are out there stockpiling weapons thinking they are free but they are mentally and behaviorally controlled by the media.

If it is so easy to 3D print guns or put together the parts, how is it that gun control measures in other countries are still effective?

Fingerprint trigger locks already exist, they are just not built-in to guns yet (as far as I know.)

Here’s an idea: all new guns must only be operable by the person who purchased them after going through rigorous background checks. This will be done using fingerprint technology. The gun simply will not fire unless it is in the right hands.
