@takeshitakenji Well right now I'm rolling my own nameserver, my own email, my own blog, my own review website, and my own social media. I guess I could add image hosting to the mix. -

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footl… -

@nerthos @nerthos It comes down to the social compact in the US basically disintegrating before our own eyes. Whether they'll manage to get another one in place by some means or just descend into anarchy, who knows, though hopefully not the latter. -

@dogjaw @takeshitakenji What Takeshi doesn't realize is that he's about to die of the slowest ddos ever recorded. -

@nerthos So much of the dysfunction in US society comes from an underlying feeling of people thinking there is not any justice for themselves out there and resorting to taking what they perceive as justice into their own hands. Look at the riots post-election for instance. -

@nerthos Well, this is the actual authoritarian bent to it. It's control. Whereas I'd say you're honestly pretty moderate as this goes (at least here in North America), these people will settle for nothing less than complete control. Indeed, such is their need and desire for it, that they will delight in these shootings happen, because its an opprotunity to advance their position further. -

@nerthos This is how the States USED to be, just after WW2, for instance. You'll note people shoot up "gun free zones" a lot of the time. It's almost like they go to the place they won't be resisted violently - the soft targets. -

@nerthos In either case it's authoritarian moralism - they just have different reasonings they use. -

@nerthos They understand, they just don't care. There's the tribal groupthink again. Gun owners are the BAD people. They associate with one or more Wrong Persons and as a result they're all bad. So you end up with things like the gunsense hashtag on twitter that essentially come down to being another crackpot authoritarian attempt at controlling people. -

@nerthos I'd agree. It's very difficult to get one in this sort of vein in Canada because it's an exceptional cause under our laws (as in the literal sense of "they make an exception for you if you can argue that you have a genuine need") -

@nerthos That seems the primary difference. While the government scrutinizes claims of neccesity for self-defense VERY CAREFULLY, I do think it is a good justification when there is a genuine danger to the person in question. -

@vinzv Actually, in the interests of keeping the peace, if someone got me a proper FAQ to replace Qvitter's existing one, I'd be willing to submit a Merge Request that Hannes could accept, to save him the work.
Or if someone doesn't beat me to it I might just do it myself on the weekend. -

@nerthos The problem with trying to legislate stuff to restrict criminals, is criminals don't follow the law to begin with, so if that's your only reason for enacting a law, then all you effectively do is curtail the rights of law-abiding citizens. -

@vinzv Well, we have cultivated a culture of "instant gratification". Making people have to wait for more than five seconds makes you literally the worst to some people, in my experience. I deal with a lot in my life, because of my chronic illness. There's only so much I can do in a day (and I push myself to do more regardless), but for many its often still not…
