most of them are being mined in politically unstable or to western civilization unfriendly countries, with terrible effect on the environment.

Has that ever stopped everyone, though?

I’ve never even thought, “I need a gun” and I’m not rich or wealthy or affluent. The only reason I’ll ever learn to handle firearms is to shoot fascists if the need arises.

I witnessed Berlusconi’s rise and fall: putting corrupt business people in government isn’t a great idea

We don’t need metal detectors outside of school either

My solution is making gun ownership less indiscriminate. In my country, I’d have to prove that I need a gun for self-defense and pass a psychological and physical check. Moreover, the license would have to be renewed after 5 years.

Addressing the fact that the US have a worrying fetish for firearms isn’t on the agenda, is it? No, let’s give guns to teachers.

… nature has made each man a body that is sufficient for looking after himself. — Dio, Oration 10.10

In the end, I don’t care what lifestyle my job can afford if I don’t have the time to enjoy it.

3 years can be a very long time, though.

MAANG sounds like a Superman’s villain

They will do genocide for just one day.

That’s how bad the situation is: McCain is an example of someone who wanted to do the best for American democracy.

“They’re actively trying to make me reconsider my stance on genocide” = shady psy-op by an evil power that wants to control the world?

Or depression. Or anxiety. Or learning disabilities.
