Could this compulsory military service also alert authorities to people that aren’t suitable to own private firearms?

So there was this man in Bulgaria who drove trains for a living.

He loved his job. Driving a train had been his dream ever since he was a child. He loved to make the train go as fast as possible. Unfortunately, one day he was a little too reckless and caused a crash. He made it out, but a single person died. Well, needless to say, he went to court over this incident. He was found guilty, and was sentenced to death by electrocution. When the day of the execution came, he requested a single banana as his last meal. After eating the banana, he was strapped into the electric chair. The switch was flown, sparks flew, and smoke filled the air - but nothing happened. The man was perfectly fine.

Well, at the time, there was an old Bulgarian law that said a failed execution was a sign of divine intervention, so the man was allowed to go free. Somehow, he managed to get his old job back driving the train. Having not learned his lesson at all, he went right back to driving the train with reckless abandon. Once again, he caused a train to crash, this time killing two people. The trial went much the same as the first, resulting in a sentence of execution. For his final meal, the man requested two bananas. After eating the bananas, he was strapped into the electric chair. The switch was thrown, sparks flew, smoke filled the room - and the man was once again unharmed.

Well, this of course meant that he was free to go. And once again, he somehow managed to get his old job back. To what should have been the surprise of no one, he crashed yet another train and killed three people. And so he once again found himself being sentenced to death. On the day of his execution, he requested his final meal: three bananas.

“You know what? No,” said the executioner. “I’ve had it with you and your stupid bananas and walking out of here unharmed. I’m not giving you a thing to eat; we’re strapping you in and doing this now.” Well, it was against protocol, but the man was strapped in to the electric chair without a last meal. The switch was pulled, sparks flew, smoke filled the room - and the man was still unharmed. The executioner was speechless.

The man looked at the executioner and said, "Oh, the bananas had nothing to do with it. I’m just a bad conductor.

Now, the other people that we talk about, including Biden, he wasn’t president. So what he did is a different standard. And he should have real problems. They really should be talking about that. Not about me. I did absolutely nothing wrong.

The level of cognitive dissonance here is just absolutely mind blowing.

This move is part of a larger trend for the insider, who over the past year has sold a total of 50,610 shares and purchased none.

Nothing suspicious about that.

…I appreciate the argument that we’ve, our discussion that we’ve been having. But for me, it’s a little too conceptual or I don’t know, metaphysical or geological or whatever you want to call it.

Geological??

Hi. What’s the different effect? I’ve never considered that before.

Yea I have the same issue frequently.

It was made up anyway, it’s all fake news you see.

Immediately notice the distinction. Others would be saying “This is a targeted WITCH HUNT, it’s all lies made up by the other side! It’s obviously bribery and corruption! We’re losing our country WWAAAA WAAAAA etc”.

Kia ora! Tena koutou Tena koutou Tena koutou katoa.

Absolutely filthy.

I just cannot belive how history is repeating itself.

This is what is doing my tits in. It’s so fucking frustrating and maddening watching America go through this shit. It’s unbelievable.

I just try to remember that there are good people in America, and I hope they prevail.

I might be wrong but I think this issue is due to the fundamental way Lemmy works (separate instances) and I’m not sure it’s possible for Sync or any Lemmy app to do what the user Lvxferre suggested, although it’s a wonderfully elegant suggestion.

Thanks friend. I have joined.

Fun afternoon.

Is the discord public? I tried searching for it but couldn’t find it. If so would you be able to post/pm the address?

Of course if it’s private then no worries :)

I would like a word with the manager of the Universe please.

Search safe my son.
