As someone who has worked in an IT repair facility, this image hurts my soul.

Yes. My mistake. What I meant to say is that I didn’t realize you needed something to host the site on. I tried to send my friend the file and expected them to open it…from my computer.

I was a bit of a noob back in the day.

This was me in high school. In my first Intro to Computer Science class, they taught me how to make a website in html.

Nobody told me that you need a domain. Guess how I found out.

Exactly my point. People treat it like an investment for precisely that reason. But that wasn’t why it was created in the first place. Appreciating in value is a side-effect, not the main feature.

Bitcoin isn’t an investment though. Or at least, it wasn’t supposed to be.

People treat it like an investment because they don’t understand how it actually works. Then Altcoins became a thing, which are essentially just Bitcoin clones but with extra steps.

Out of curiosity, what unit lets you call a magazine a “clip” for 15 years?

And this is why we can’t have nice things. You be nice to people, and they throw it back in your face.

Kindness should be earned, not given.

That’s what i’ve been saying for years. You don’t need a 30 round AR-15. A manual, 4 - 5 round bolt-action hunting rifle in the right hands can also be used for a mass shooting. Yet they’re completely legal in states like California. The only reason “Assault Rifles” (and I use quotation marks because the name “Assault Rifle” is based on a misconception) are so heavily regulated and labeled as having “evil features” is because they look scary. The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle, NOT full auto. Functionally, it’s no different to a hunting rifle. Yet the media never shuts up about that one specific model of rifle.

Looks Scary ≠ Lethality. I wish people would realize that.

Criminals don’t follow the rules anyway, so you can put as many restrictions on guns as you want for all the difference it will make. At least here in the U.S.

Unfortunately some people struggle to grasp that concept.

I’m assuming from the way your comment is worded that you’re not from the U.S.

Blue states tend to have much stricter gun laws, as another user pointed out. For example, in California, “Assault Rifles” are banned. You most certainly cannot walk into a supermarket and buy an AR-15. As far as i’m aware, most major retailers including Walmart don’t sell guns at all in California. Even handguns have a maximum magazine capacity. No more than 10 rounds. Much less than your standard Glock or Sig Sauer.

I’d also like to point out that “Buying a gun in the local supermarket” is a little bit of a misconception. It’s true that some superstores sell guns, but they aren’t right next to the milk and bread. They’re in locked cabinets in a specific part of the store where you’ll also find other hunting equipment. The whole point of a superstore/supermarket is that they sell everything in one place as opposed to the pre-supermarket days where you had to go to multiple different stores just to get your weekly shopping supplies.

I agree with you. The issue is that the people who have been fighting to keep the second amendment are the ones who are siding with and enabling the government. The pro-second amendment people are the ones who voted for Trump in the first place.
