I never really used twitter for more than weather lol, so I’ll make a mastodon account, but I’ll be as active on it as BS. Just don’t get the appeal of the format. Probably why I’m so much more active here than anywhere else.

Ah, damn, now I wish more would have gone to mastodon.

I joined bluesky because the weather group I followed on Twitter moved there, so deleted twitter and follow them on BLuesky now. Is there a reason not to join bluesky?

Where is that gif of the “shut the fuck up Friday” lawyers…

Lol ok kid

‘Often impulsive acts’

“Suicide attempts are often impulsive acts, driven by transient life crises,” the authors write. “Most attempts are not fatal, and most people who attempt suicide do not go on to die in a future suicide. Whether a suicide attempt is fatal depends heavily on the lethality of the method used — and firearms are extremely lethal. These facts focus attention on firearm access as a risk factor for suicide especially in the United States, which has a higher prevalence of civilian-owned firearms than any other country and one of the highest rates of suicide by firearm.”

That’s literally stating that suicides by firearms are more successful…NOT that they cause people to commit suicide more.

I’ll say it again, correlation doesn’t equate causation.

It’s not my problem you are incapable of understanding studies that have an agenda.

No it doesn’t, you’re basically giving me the point that someone who can’t swim is more likely to drown because they own a pool… that’s the bullshit logic that is used. (If you didn’t get that reference, the person is more likely to drown because they can’t swim…not because they own a pool). There are millions of firearm owners in the USA, the fraction of a percent of those commit suicide. So no it’s not what makes people more likely to commit suicide. I just explained that to you with Japan, which you will clearly ignore.

People don’t magically become suicidal because a firearm is present. That’s the most ignorant bullshit ever, and was cooked up from the anti-gun groups.

Correlation doesn’t equal causation. Never has never will.

That’s not how correlation works at all. By that same logic you’re stating that without guns here, then all of our suicides by firearms wouldn’t happen at all, and people wouldn’t try something else.

The issue with that logic is correlation doesn’t equal causation…you just need to look at japan. The country with pretty much the hardest gun control, has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.

It won’t even save 30k a year, the mass majority of our deaths via guns are suicides. Removing that avenue is not going to magically make someone less suicidal.

Yea do not idolize this POS. He was a complete fucking nut job that thought everyone else was supposed to accommodate him.

B&D makes tools for people who hang pictures… I’ve never seen a b&d tool on a job site or even handle the bare minimum for anything more than little house projects. DeWalt is like the lowest grade stuff that most guys use in construction, but even those are starting to have QC issues and durability drops.

I was a fan of the dark Knight trilogy and thought no one is topping this, but Pattenson nailed it. I honestly like his Batman better now, and hope they continue with it.

Are…are you making a point that crimea is russian?

Hated when they bought pride and killed it off…I want pride back damnit

How many russians see Ukraine as their home vs want it because daddy putin says it belongs to russia?

The USA didn’t lose Vietnam because we couldn’t win it. We lost it because we weren’t trying to win the war, we were trying to occupy Vietnam. This war is totally different, it’s a country fighting for it’s land.

I had mine cancelled and reupped cause I literally buy things I need randomly and sometimes never hit the free shipping. Most of my stuff is farm related fixing things, so I definitely hit the price I pay…still really annoyed that it’s $140 a year now, but I get my money out of it…

Fuck you bundle Amazon day ship option…

So still nothing huh?

ROFL nothing what you said is remotely true lol

Saying people in the ussr had better food security than people in the USA in the 50s hahahahahaha

Tankies…lol
