I just finished reading the new proposed "Lawful Access to Encrypted Data Act" bill, and I can't believe you amerilards are so insistent about going full retard. These days every time I read news from over there it's always some kind of tragicomic parody of every dystopic novel ever written thrown into a blender that seems to ever expand upon itself like a milked-dry TV show with too many seasons. I do sincerely hope this kind of insane bs gets laughed straight out instead of anyone even considering the possibility, but sadly I know better than that.
Remember Fediverse when dealing with Americans there is only two ways to do things:
>The American Way
>The Wrong Way

Left wing atheist (Tracie Harris):
>Problem: USA has very high suicide rate among men
>studies show that if people fail their first suicide attempt, they're a lot less likely to try again
>most men go for a gun to commit suicide because it's highly efficient
>Solution to problem: ban guns more, so less men commit suicide

This shows just how faulty left-wing thinking can be. Sure, all of that is probably true, if you ban guns, successful suicide rates are probably gonna drop drastically, but you're still not actually solving the issue. You're putting a band-aid over it.

The issue isn't the suicides, the issue is: why are so many men in USA so depressed and miserable to the point where want to be released from this mortal coil.

Banning guns as a solution to suicides is as logical as Foxconn putting safety nets around its building. Just because you deny/prevent someone from committing suicide doesn't mean they'll suddenly go looking for help for their mental problems. They're just gonna continue suffering on their own for a lot longer. Technically speaking, you're basically a sadist trying to torture them as much as possible, instead of actually trying to understand their problems and reaching out to give them a hand.

And the most absurd part of all of this, is that I guarantee you that the same person that advocated for this "solution" is probably pro-euthanasia (assisted suicide) for the terminally ill. Maybe I'm missing something, but I find this highly self-contradicting. Either you're fine with allowing people to have control over their life and death, or you're not. You can't have it both ways.

P.S. For anyone curious, I'm pro assisted suicide; and I think citing suicide rates is a terrible, completely inadmissible, argument for banning guns.

The Trump DOJ's attempt to imprison Julian Assange for working with his source to publish classified documents that exposed US war crimes is the most severe US threat to press freedom since 2016.

oh come on there's no porn of the girl from pokemon cafe mix having sex with the eevee yet? sad

"neonazi propaganda pokemon fangame" is not a phrase I ever expected to type in my lifetime.

Show thread

Still shocked that Gamefreak literally plagiarized a neonazi propaganda pokemon fangame for one of their new moves in the DLC

I suddenly remembered that girlcock club exists. Good old GCC.
Leftists only. Centrism is "politics of hate". I know a lot of LGBT (and especially trans oriented) communities are very left wing and opposed to right wing views, but I've never seen one claim that even centrism is inherently a form of "hate".

Now that I think about it, I think I talk about video games less on Gameliberty than I do on my alts

@tuxcrafting What's even more fucked is that most of them aren't life sentences, more like something in the 3-15 year range. So the actual percent that spent at least a good chunk of their lives in prison is much higher. Here's an excerpt:

"An estimated 5.1% of all persons in the United States will be confined in a State or Federal prison during their lifetime."

Note that our prison population is over 90% male, so nearly 1 in 10 male Americans are imprisoned at some point in their lifetime.

oh no why are internet nazi lolicons with anime avatars telling me that "nobody" would want to go outside, fuck you dad
@matrix Games made in the early 2000s for children are too complex and challenging for 2020 game journalists. Idiocracy is progressing faster than I expected.
