@stux

Not sure how you are confused.. when you make something illegal that is used to save your life when someone is trying to kill you with a knife, it isnt a win that you eliminated gun deaths and replaced them with being killed by other means.

Much as when making vaccines illegal you effectively will eliminate all deaths via vaccine, but now replace those deaths with even more deaths from the virus itself.

Same thing, not sure why that concept would confuse you.

inb4 be sure if you use numbers you compare netherlands to itself both before and after a change. Any other comparison would be dishonest due to confounding.

@stux The people who praise replacing one gun death with 10 knife deaths by making guns illegal are the same people who never stood up to people doing evil who were capable and willing to kill you.

When you are the one people are trying to kill your opinion on guns changes real quick. I certainly never bothered owning a gun before then. Now I open-carry with a license.

STATUS UPDATE -
PROJECTS ONGOING!...

ADD YOUR OWN DREAM HERE FOR OTHERS TO WORK ON IT.

PROJECT / BACK-BURNER IDEAS WELCOME! RE-IGNITE YOUR IDEAS

The idea is a fictional attempt to show a control panel to represent all ouR effort from saying our wants / needs / skills to each other and FEEDING THAT into a system @freemo might make (for example) and we ant build organically what we can together with whoever to mix and match / find ourselves / use skills together for making project.

From Freemo's advice and original QOTO concept they sky would be the limit. (which we could test with a #poll to see how many answer or for what type of asking.

Asking other people's advice seem link a good acid-test!

With QOTO as our already-chosen excuse to be here (and that's why a lot of us are here - a lot of us chose or wanting this space contribute / be part of something more than just 1-way posting) we can naturally from mass make something IF our beloved Captain and Master Diver 🌊 can orientate the server towards US as the product and drive (whatever we help each other with) and material to use as skills.

If you imagine this as a more human fulfillment and towards happiness or collaboration, finding our place, participating in 'something' then you can see sky is the limit and how it would be worthwhile and even we would run it ourselves after a bit of leadership or guidance and people don't have to stop what they do just focus it here and magnify those effort from a bit of organising, personal dreaming and making it happen!

( making "it happen" I feel needs each other and with less money in between and more passion / heart - we already love what we do so let's find a way in QOTO to bring it together as a project in itself - Maybe you can help manage this management?! )/

THOUGHTS WELCOME

[PIC = FICTIONAL BUT COULD BE REAL CONTROL PANEL]

@pikesley I am more concered with i=where the apostophie should be..

"For fuck's sake" - For the sake of the fuck

"For fucks' sake" - For the sake of all fucks

"For fucks sake" - All the fucks care

"For fuck sake" - One particular fuck cares.

@iron_bug @freemo
Disrespecting a country doesn't mean hating all of it's people.

In fact one could argue that equating all the people with their country is the far worse sin.

You can hate China, Russia, the US, or whatever country for what they are doing without hating every single citizen of these countries.

2nd Quote... continues later in video with George Galloway addressing people calling him "Divisive" on issue of #Gaza #War

🔗 https://invidious.jing.rocks/watch?v=o1pNsFjFnSE&t=14m13s

" You can't sit on the fence against the 'plausible genocide' in #Gaza.
Either your for or against it. "

" If you're against it, you must speak against it, march against it, protest about it. And you must call out the people proselytizing for it.

( proselytizing = Convert to another faith or religion )

@freemo my local favorite "diverging diamond" crossover intersection: https://www.coloradohometownweekly.com/2012/06/14/sparks-fly-over-diverging-diamond-interchange-on-us-36/

@freemo @louis It is real, the most famous one is outside Swindon, UK. It’s an inner roundabout, with several outlying roundabouts outside it. The inner one goes clock-wise, whilst the outer ones go counter-clock-wise. I’ve never driven in it as I didn’t drive whilst living the UK (as they drive on the left side to start with), I would die rather quickly in that one. 🤣
