If their ideology weren't "rules for thee, not for me" they wouldn't be Republicans in the first place.

As a software developer who also has a background in civil engineering and an EIT, I rue the fact that NCEES got rid of the software engineering PE exam before I had a chance to take it.

They claim to sell a license, but that's a lie.

Using manhacks straight out of Half-Life 2 to do it is new, though.

This community's rule 1 ought to be amended to require posters to uncensor headlines. The White House Communications Director called a Congressman a "dumbass" and a "bitch." Not a "bi**h," a "bitch." And also stooped to some kindergartener-esque mangling of the Congressman's name from "Lieu" to "Lewd" while he was at it.

Readers -- especially American citizens -- should not be shielded from the full impact of that disgrace. Stop the sanewashing!

I don't own a gun, actually. Your assumption is bad and you should feel bad.

I am doing nothing but thinking about ensuring my ability to obtain one, should the political situation continue to deteriorate. That's prudent, not delusional.

A lot of English-speaking Lemmy is from places used to the heat (e.g. US, Australia). My city is at roughly the same latitude as Casablanca, for instance.

The original intent was to allow people to own muskets because US didn’t have a standing army.

Because the founders explicitly didn't want the US to have a standing army, explicitly to prevent the Federal government from being able to subjugate the People. That's an important distinction.

Please explain how I can "do literally anything productive with my life" when I'm murdered by MAGA fascists because I had no means to defend myself.

The reality is simply that the US constitution is an outdated document that should not serve as the basis for laws in a modern country.

The argument I've been participating in has been about what the Second Amendment was at the time it was written. The original intent of the people who wrote it. There is only one correct interpretation of that (which is mine, BTW), and modern interpretations have absolutely fuck-all to do with it.
