Hamas is not at that point.

So, how many bombs still need to be dropped on Palestine to get them there?

Just to be clear: are you talking about the Palestinian terrorists or the Israeli terrorists?

Possible. The sample size is rather small, though.

The pattern is inconsistent. Either it needs to be bar and bye or bmouth and bnose.

Not joy in general; just other people’s joy.

From wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender

The term cisgender was coined in 1994 as an antonym to transgender, and entered into dictionaries starting in 2015 as a result of changes in social discourse about gender.[4][5] The term has been and continues to be controversial and subject to critique.

I think there’s some confirmation bias on your end here. The local community (including me) tends to be young and liberal and knows the term cisgender. I’d bet that the majority (by a huge margin) of English speakers (including as a second or third language) has never even heard the term cisgender or doesn’t know what it means. Lots of them will react negatively if you label them cisgender out of pure ignorance and false assumptions - no transphobia needed.

Only complete asshole transphobes do. Honestly, not even they do. They just lie about it as a gotcha.

Sure, they exist. But what’s their percentage of the population or the X user base? I think you’re making a false generalization by an invalid extrapolation.

And just to be clear: I’m not saying cisgender is a slur. I’m just pointing out that the notion that community A or an individual can decide whether some word is a slur or not in community B is ridiculous, and that the argument, from the first comment I replied to, for technical correctness or intended meaning of a word is irrelevant for who considers what a slur.

I hope that made my point clearer to your dry-nosed primate’s brain.

Dear women, please don’t listen to a random cunt on the internet on how to dress. I’m also random, and a cunt, but please dress like this:

Yup, crashes. Nokia 8.3 5G, Android 12.

Whoa, who would’ve guessed there are so many anti-Semites in Israel!?

One recent article authored by Stokes claimed that a Nazi-alien alliance was responsible for acts of arson at a Kellogg’s cereal factory.

Oh my … that was an entertaining read 😂

Your mom is so fat she compresses a binary tree into a linked list in O(1) by sitting on it.

Ooohh, give it a twist! One direction the trolley kills a bazillion people. The other direction it kills only one person, but everybody else becomes an atheist.

Confront it with a/the trolley-problem.

It’s not not done because it is difficult. It’s not done because it is not profitable for those in power.

A loaded gun in a fucking glovebox absolutely IS a problem.

Yes. I never said anything to the contrary.

Had applicable law been followed, this would not have happened.

What a tortured take.

Feels like you’re talking about your own comment.

Add-on:

And even what you describe is already more than what is needed in the USA isn’t it?

I’m no expert on US gun law, but what I do know, is that blanket statements on US gun law are almost always wrong. Gun legislation varies highly between states. There are places where it is rather lax, and then there are places where it is really strict. It’s been a while (read decades) since I read about it more in depth. From the top of my head: a third to a half of the states has gun legislation comparable to that of Germany (comparable in “strictness”, not wording). New York and one or two other places have even (much) stricter legislation than Germany.

No idea, if that comparison to Germany helps you, but it is the best reference I have.

I completely agree with that. But maybe, just maybe, we can try to help them with the problems instead of only restricting their access to guns. Again, fix the causes, not the symptoms. Fix poverty, establish proper welfare, provide affordable (universal) health care. It’s really not rocket science. The debate for stricter gun control is a distraction from the actual problems/causes.

I’m no swiss law expert, but that’s not what wikipedia says regarding buying ammunition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Switzerland

In order to purchase ammunition, the buyer must fulfill the same legal rules that apply when buying guns (art. 15 WG/LArm). Foreigners with citizenship to the following countries are explicitly excluded from the right to buy and own ammunition: Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Turkey, Sri Lanka, Algeria and Albania.

The buyer must provide the following information to the seller (art. 15, 16 WG/LArm; art. 24 WV/OArm):

• a passport or other valid official identification (the holder must be over 18 years of age) (art. 10a WG/LArm).
• a copy of their criminal record not older than 3 months, a weapons acquisition permit which isn’t older than 2 years, or a valid European Firearms Pass, if asked by the seller (art. 24 § 3 WV/OArm).
