guns will always result in more mass shootings

Then why aren't there any other mass shootings in the Czech Republic?

Absolutely. I just think that it's silly to draw attention to guns being easily attainable in this context, when there have been so many more mass shootings in other European countries.

I used my Litter Robot for about 6 months, and ended up selling it because:

  • It still has to be cleaned. Once a month you are supposed to disassemble and clean the various parts. I found this experience to be pretty nasty. Definitely worse than scooping a box.
  • I have a Maine Coon, and she ended up with dirty litter in her fur all of the time.
    Edit:
  • The drawer is small and has to be emptied often if you have multiple cats. I get that you're still supposed to have multiple boxes available, but that thing cost exponentially more than other litter boxes, so it's hard not to see it as an attempt at an all-in-one solution.

This would be a lovely take, if there weren't so many other people running around with guns. Is it cowardly to want to protect yourself from the actual cowards?

I used Privacy Badger for years, but recently removed it because it was breaking so many sites. ublock + adguard is good enough for me.

They said that tall people are intimidating, which is absolutely true. As another 6'5" dude, I try to be careful how I walk up on somebody, because it is easy to accidentally scare the shit out of people.

But.. the whole reason we are having this discussion is because people are trying to make the process less miserable in their final moments.

As stated elsewhere, the discomfort that you feel what you're being suffocated is not from lack of oxygen. It is from build up of carbon dioxide. When you are breathing nitrogen, you can still exhale that carbon dioxide. You don't get that panicked feeling of needing a breath.

Pearl clutching is an exaggerated outage. They didn't even show any outrage. Just noted a fact.
