• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US can a felon own a gun if it is dismantled and hanging like a piece of art?⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Like the other comment said, the barrel is not the firearm. If you have parts, tools, and things that could feasibly make a gun then they can charge you with possession of a gun. Firearm laws are complex and difficult. And honestly of would probably be easier and safer to try to use replica/prop parts just to avoid issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US can a felon own a gun if it is dismantled and hanging like a piece of art?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Most firearms have a single serialized part that is considered to be the firearm. For pistols is is generally the frame. For something like an AR, it is the lower reciever. So they would be breaking the law to own that part regardless of whether they had the other parts.

  The only way I know of to get around that is if the firearm was irreversibly modified to be unable to fire a bullet. At that point it is no longer a legally firearm. They ways that is usually done are pretty destructive though. Like chopping the frame/receiver in half kind of destructive.

  You’re experiencing late stage capitalism. Thank an oligarch today!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are you wearing his tee-shirt⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The motorcycle diaries were written before any of his revolutionary actions, and pretty sure they didn’t involve murder. The new man was about sacrificing yourself for the revolution and being more interested in being productive for the new communist society, at least from my understanding. So don’t see how any of that was supporting the meme. The labor camps are absolutely fucked up, but I don’t think Che himself specifically wanted any of the people listed to be put in labor camps.

  And it says he murdered those people which implies targeted killing. So misleading at best, and possibly intentionally misleading. He had enough flaws without making up shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are you wearing his tee-shirt⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I know he was a very violent revolutionary, but do you have sources for him specifically targeting any of those people/groups? I know he oversaw the execution of a lot of people from the Batista government, but hadn’t heard of any specific targeting based on race, sexual orientation, or jobs.

  Fun fact, the British Empire only sent criminals to Australia because the American Revolution stopped them from sending them to North American colonies.

  It could be. I didn’t feel like looking it up, and that was as close to the answer as I could remember.

  A jib is a type of sail. And I think the cut is talking about the shape. Beyond that I can’t explain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They arbitrarily raise prices all the time. Have you not noticed? And are you going to just stop eating food if it suddenly costs 10 percent more?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think the CEO compensation is the only place they are siphoning off funds to the oligarchs? And even with all the greed, they are still admitting to robbing $3.8B from the working class. That’s all profits are.

  The system rewards greed and corruption. So that’s what they do. They conspire with other corporations to inflate prices. They take advantage of disasters to gouge consumers. These aren’t conspiracies, they are things that have been admitted to under oath and discovered through investigation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The CEO of Kroger made $15.63 million in 2024. Pretty sure there are lots of ways they could make it work. They choose not to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems like they will just mark everything up by 10% and then give that discount at self checkout. So they will pocket even more while harming those who don’t use self checkout.

  Or eliminating cashiers altogether.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey jackass, this is why trucks with large tires are supposed to have mud flaps.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew there were rules for that with commercial vehicles, I wasn’t sure about private. And it gets even more complicated since every state is different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey jackass, this is why trucks with large tires are supposed to have mud flaps.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mud flaps generally aren’t legally required. However multiple states don’t allow tires to be that far outside of the wheel well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it was actually the consumers choice then Sony would conti he offering the PlayStation with a disc drive and physical media since that is what the vast majority of consumers chose despite it costing more to purchase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come in America Cunt is such a egregious word but not the same in Europe?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with the comments, but it’s also about how the word is used in the US. Cunt is really only ever used as a derogatory term for a woman. Usually a woman who isn’t subservient enough, or that doesn’t align with stupid ‘traditional’ values. So the reason is is egregious is because it is used hatefully by bigots. And decent people don’t want to be associated with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just to get this straight Odysseus angered the gods by just trying to survive the only way he could at the time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, you should look into some Nordic mythology. Those weirdos were definitely flawed. No idea what was going on with them, but their stories are fucking wild. Like Loki turning into a mare to seduce a giant’s horse to win a bet, then getting pregnant and giving birth to an eight legged horse he named Sleipnir. He then gifted the horse (his son) to his dad Odin. Odin then used his eight legged horse grand son as his mount.

  I’m in the same boat. I’m so tired of switching services because I found out about a Nazi or pedophile or rapist or bigot. Humanity sucks.

  One of the founders of Mullvad has been supporting a Swedish far right nationalist party. So might want to try IVPN instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the worst ever city street layouts? (U.S. perspective) Charlottesville VA and Lexington KY⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t weigh in on a lot of the cities people have mentioned. I will say the Charlottesville is impressively terrible for making it miserable to drive, bike, walk, or use public transit. You would think they would get at least one mode of transportation to be ok, but nope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She was churning plastic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With fully synthetic oils, tighter tolerances, and cleaner running engines there are many cars that are easily going to make it to a year or 10k miles without serious degradation of the oil.

  Things like tire rotations should still be done more often. And there are ways to check/test oil for degradation if you don’t believe manufacturer recommendations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 is a 'singleplayer experience,' GTA Online may be sold separately⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand the logic behind this, but the $80 price tag for a game that is forecast to sell incredibly well kind of undermines that thought. If they are using the absolutely absurd amounts of money they have made from GTA online to fund the game there would be no justification for the higher cost for this game in relation to other AAA titles. So this is purely driven by greed, and Rockstar is happy to increase profits and enrich their executives through predatory behavior.

  We should not be making excuses for corporations that will happily embrace profit with no regard for morality or ethics.
