Haha thanks for the lecture dad. Simple vent about the fact religion and sports should not even be related.

And the fact stands, they don’t change the schedule for religious holidays. NFL - Thanksgiving/Christmas, Baseball - Pick a holiday between Spring and Fall, NBA - Christmas. But you’re right, I’m sure this lunatic crying for a Good Friday bye will get their attention and is completely reasonable.

Mm I don’t like this, and you’re wrong. But ☮️ to you my misguided person.

I wish you got paid less.

I mean obviously they were good enough to keep em drunk into today…

Unpopular opinion, the people who downvoted this comment are contributing to the problem.

Good for you! Keep it up!

Except it’s not actually going to get you the results they claim to deliver…

Great. You have one YouTube video to base an entire argument off of. Look of body cam footage of OIS, look up security camera footage of self defense shootings, learn something about the matter before you watch one clip on the internet before you come on here and advocate for lethal noisemakers. No duh people run from gun fire. There are also countless court cases and documented investigations where a single person continued to assault an individual after taking 40+ rounds to vital organs throughout their bodies.

Can you predict the future? Do you know what kind of person is going to break into your home? Is that person of a sound mind? Is that person high on some substance that takes them so far out of reality and their body it’s as if they have super human strength? The answer is you don’t know. Limiting these tools for responsible citizens endangers their lives. Again, I am for gun control. But responsible gun control that is thought out and not implemented out of fear mongering and panic voting.

Pot calling the kettle black. Unlike you, I have read the bill. I knew what I voted for when I chose not to support Measure 114. You asked me to hand you supporting evidence for my viewpoints on a silver platter, I don’t do that for keyboard warriors such as yourself. If you’d like to show your interested in a legitimate discussion by showing some sort of fact from your way of looking at it I’m happy to look at it. Your sarcastic claim that I “obviously want you to agree with me” is grotesquely mistaken and again keyboard warrior click bait. Good luck with your journey, you obviously have nothing further to offer.

What’s the difference 🤣

Sooooo a firearm was a tool used to defend their home. Because the homeowner knew their target. One of four basic firearm safety rules. Huh.

Their intention was not to “create sound.” Aren’t you proving my point? A well armed homeowner successfully defended their home? Nobody should EVER use the sounds of gunshots to deter anybody from any action. It’s irresponsible and an unsafe firearm ownership practice. Period.

It’s people like you who jeopardize the Second Amendment Rights of responsible firearm owners all across this country.

You should never blindly fire a firearm. That’s the first rule of gun safety. I’m not watching a video promoting unsafe firearm practices. You’re part of the problem if you’re promoting blind firing a gun inside your house or anywhere. Buy some firecrackers and pull a Home Alone if that’s your desired effect, not a firearm.

Thank you for the vulgarities to express your point. I can assure you I am better versed in the world of first responders. My point is that the city in which I live is so understaffed on police that there was nobody to respond to provide cover for Fire and EMS to conduct their duties for the overdosing individual.

You obviously don’t understand firearms and this is not the place to educate you on them. I am proud of you for questioning stats on the internet, now go and research them for yourself. Use medical journals as your sources. Or university studies. Wikipedia, Tik Tok and the likes don’t count.

As far as the car dealership analogy you’ve missed the point. To even begin the conversation you have to have an extra certification. I’m not talking about your driver’s license. And again I am pro gun control.

As for the AR’s 30 round mag. Research, again through academic sources, the history and purpose of the AR and you’ll understand it’s not a “weapon of mass destruction.” The 30 round capacity is misleading to the firearms capabilities.

Thank you for your perspective I wish you luck in your educational journey!

I’m sorry but you don’t know what you’re talking about. I feel bad life experiences have led you to feel the way you do but you simply don’t know the truth. I can over another example of calling 911, being placed on hold for 15 minutes, bounced around dispatch centers three times and then finally connected to the correct one and then waiting on scene of a fentanyl overdose for 45 minutes because the nearest available officer, again in a major city, was the only one who could respond.

These are the decisions of people voting to cut funding. This has nothing to do with police unions, who are funded directly out of the police officers paychecks by the way. If you’d like to discuss police reform, which this country does need, I’d be happy to do that on another forum but this discussion is about gun control. My point with mentioning the police was that we as private citizens are facing fewer and fewer options to protect ourselves. Thank you for your perspective.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to articulate here. What does sound have to do with anything? Firearms are not “noise deterrents.” And firing a warning shot is not an appropriate means of firearm safety let alone a viable option for protecting loved ones or yourself. I’d be excited to understand your point better.

That’s your choice. But when it comes to gun control, opposition typically approaches it in an adolescent manner. I’d be happy to hear your point of view and refrain from attacks on your intelligence, but I’d like to see fact based logic like I presented instead of fear based thinking like 99% of the posts on here. Most people read the article title and refused to research further. That’s the point I was proving. People need to think about critical issues before sounding off and impacting lives. Whether it be attacking our pro choice rights, telling someone they can’t marry who they love, or limiting what can be read in a school. Ignorance and fear govern the decisions of the masses.

You folks should educate yourself before blanket statement saying, “Gun control gud, me vote fast for boom boom pow ban.” If you read Measure 114 it’s not at all gun control.

You simply cannot walk into any legitimate firearm store and legally purchase a firearm without filling out paperwork to undergo a background check. Period. So get that out of your head. It’s not possible. You have to fill out a 4473 from any dealer holding an FFL, any legal gun dealer has been issued an FFL by the ATF and is required by FEDERAL law to maintain records of their firearm sales for x amount of years so they can conduct and audit at the drop of a hat.

Measure 114 was pushing for Oregonians to have to take a class, approved by Law Enforcement, in order to apply for a permit to apply to begin the process to buy a firearm. So for my slow friends out there this would be like going to a car dealership, wanting to buy a sedan, having to present to them your state mandated document saying you have taken a class and passed, received a permit to be at the dealership looking at cars, before you can even test drive or start the conversation of purchasing that sedan. Then once you are ready to purchase said car, you have to begin the FEDERALLY mandated background check and jump through a completely different set of hoops.

Measure 114 was also pushed so quickly onto the ballot, Oregon State Police had no time to create curriculum for the mandated course, local law enforcement agencies (who were already facing budget cuts and staff shortages) had to figure a way to process these classes and additional applications and background checks that they never had to deal with.

As for the magazine ban, your typical handgun magazine holds 17 rounds. Again for my slow friends that’s 7 more than the proposed limit of 10. An AR magazine holds 30 rounds. These are not the kinds of magazines that should be the target of a magazine capacity ban. These were specifically designed for effective personal defense. You should look up from medical journals how many rounds from a handgun (9mm or larger) and an AR (.223 or larger) it takes to stop a full grown adult. The answer will surprise you, it’s close to 2/3’s or 66% of a handgun mag for one home invader. That leaves the average person 1.5 rounds short to protect them and their family should, God forbid, the unthinkable happen. Now you add adrenaline, nerves, and whatever other factor in and you realize that person is probably not going to land every shot perfectly on the invader. Now what. Should they just sit there and watch while the invader take advantage of their family?

You’ve cut funding for law enforcement. I’ve sat on hold for 30 minutes while calling in an active rape in a major city waiting for backup to respond. The police can only do so much, we have tied their hands with minimal funding and increased legislation. Is gun control a must absolutely, but educated control is the answer. Not blind support for any bill labeled, “Gun Control.”

Such a goooooood song 🤘🏽

Mine took about a week. It did arrive a day before the projected arrival date, but could have been a fluke.

Thank you, began that process!

Ok this confirms what I was thinking. Thank you for being my sounding board on this!

Very true. And build a “brand” if you will so people trust you.

Ok cool I will try them on desktop! I got them to work well in Avelon,some in Memmy, but mostly had the issue in Voyager so maybe it is app specific (something I hadn’t thought about until after I posted.) I’ll try the desktop as well and let you know!

Which definitely happens, I think right now that’s just kind of a Lemmy issue in general while apps and API are getting adjusted. It will get better! But glad to see your post as that kind of attitude will help us grow! Thanks again!

We also have to be responsive to those posting questions, I posed a sincere question the other day and received minimal interaction. Reception like that does not make it enticing for members to bring questions to the community in the future. We will grow though! Really enjoy being here.

Hell yeah! Puff, puff, pass!

It’s a stigma I hope we can begin to break on exmormon. It’s something I find my extended family doing all the time and it drives me crazy. BIL is a Zone Leader, other members are in 🥩 Presidencies, Patriarchs, the list goes on. I just want to laugh and tell them they’re playing a giant game of DnD and none of this matters but I don’t because I like em and don’t want to make em cry hahaha.

I love my TM2. Any good accessories you love that you recommend, outside of those in the pic, like mouthpieces and what not.

Have you looked into the TinyMight 2? I’m a huge fan of mine and it offers quite a bit of versatility. Good luck with the search, let us know what you pick!

I haven’t grown any plants yet so take this with a grain of salt, but they almost look sun burnt. We had a pretty big heat way and a several of my garden plants had leaves that looked like this.

Especially since it has been persistent all grow it would make me think it’s a sun issue, maybe they’re getting too much sun where they’re at. Again I haven’t grown any cannabis yet so I am not nuanced in there but maybe a thought that might help.

I don’t know about the Volcano specifically, but I do know I have noticed a huge increase in effect and efficiency since I switched to a dry herb vape. When I make I smoke I use wayyyy more grind than I do for the vape. It’s also nice having the freedom to “adjust” my high and tailor it to what I want out of my strain for that day. And like other users have said you get the bonus if the ABV which does a really good job of getting you stoned.

Haha that’s awesome! Congrats!

Yeah I like that idea. I’ll have to look into that bad boy some more then. I’m very happy with my TM2, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anybody. Buttttt…it’s my first dry herb vape so I’m biased and have nothing else to compare it too and I do wish the temp dial was more accurate.

Haha yeah definitely. But be pretty cool to smoke a bo and say, “Yeah…this came from my bonsai tree no big deal.”

Hahaha, thanks again for the help!! I will try both of those things!

Yeah so I’ve been messing around with it since I read your comment. It’s sick! I had a really nice high off it the other night sprinkling a bunch on top of peanut butter and graham crackers, nice treat.

I’ll take a look at the links. Thanks again 🤙🏽
