  • Thinking about the rageposters in the school shooter threads - what do we actually think could be done to prevent these?

    Gun control is a dead end in this country (ask :beto:) and unless you went for complete banning of all guns (which should be “frustrated, by force if necessary” marx-hi ), there’s really no way to stop some unhinged kid from grabbing Dad’s gun and going wild. I guess significant punishments for unsecured guns would be a deterrent for parents, but a determined person can defeat a cable lock in a few minutes.

    I guess proper mental health services and modeling of how to seek out help before they act on it.

    I agree SOMETHING needs to be done, but the lack of solutions being proposed is frustrating. There’s no getting the 300 million guns in America"back in the tube of toothpaste"









  • Just bought a new-to-me used car off Craigslist and am stoked. I nabbed this one cuz I check Craigslist for a rotation of car deals daily, our main car’s transmission just started failing, I had cash, and caught the post in the first few hours. Seller was the rarest of rare: upfront, honest, arrived on time, and had done perfect maintenance (with documentation) with tons of worthwhile quality-of-life upgrades (upgraded speakers, extra set of snow tires, tinted windows, roof rack, was top-of-the-line model). Like, I got a total gem and I’m so excited (mark my words) to have a working car. Seller even texted me after “thank you for keeping Craigslist a good place”
