“world-famous” (never heard of it)

Do you think the Columbine shooters would’ve gotten anywhere as far as they did if all they had were a kitchen knife and a machete? Guns enable mentally ill individuals to commit acts of mass murder in a way that is impossible in gun-free societies.

Rifles kill less than 400 people a year

Hilarious talking point when literally tens of thousands are killed (homicide!) per year by gun violence. This is like saying that Honda Civics only kill so many people per year, so traffic violence is no biggie.

Things that would actually address mass shootings (like affordable mental healthcare) are never even discussed,

Imagine seriously believing that rampant gun violence, an exclusively American phenomenon, is the cause of anything other than the second amendment.

THERE ARE NO MASS SHOOTINGS WITHOUT GUNS. Guns, not anything else, are the root cause of gun violence, just like how cars, not anything else, are the root cause of car crashes.

so true. run those reds, baby!

She wasn’t “locked” in her car. She had every opportunity to use the door’s emergency release to exit the car, but she chose not to because she was afraid of the possibility of damaging the car (and so that she could film a TikTok.)

It is however a design error that the car doesn’t require all occupants to exit the vehicle before starting the update.

the on-ramp stoplights prevent traffic jams on the highway by preventing multiple cars from merging at once and fucking up the rightmost lane, which then causes people to change lanes unsafely leftwards, which then fucks up the whole highway.

so, stopping at the on-ramp stoplight does save you 10 seconds because that’s a traffic jam averted (or of reduced intensity).
