I don't think guns were the root of the problem in this case. It sounds to me like this guy was fucked and almost certainly not getting the support he needed. If he was living at home and had a "hoarder" amount of tools he likely didn't have anywhere to go. Assuming he was getting a even cut of the sale1/5 of the return on a house wouldn't be sufficient to provide for another house to keep that stuff. Obviously he did a horrible thing but this probably could have been avoided by not letting him get into such a desperate situation in the first place. It's a failure of society.

I got a loaner last time I had my car worked on at the dealership and had the same experience. Also the option to turn it off was buried in the touch screen menu and didn't stay turned off next time you drove. When I brought it back the dude was like "So, thinking about trading up?" Fuck no, I hate this thing. I'm keeping my old Civic until the wheels fall off.
Nope I'm not in a relationship ship at all. This is while out with friends but I'm usually the first one there or with one other dude who is about the same age as me so nothing to speak of there. It happens regardless of if I'm alone or not. I got carded at the grocery store checkout last week and she seemed genuinely shocked at my age.
No. There's no reason the content has to be on only one platform other than anti-competitive bullshit. They could all have all the content and differentiate themselves in other ways with quality of life features. Then people would have options without missing out on content.
My peak was one. For like 5-6 years Netflix had enough content to keep me entertained by itself. When the other media companies started pulling their stuff off Netflix to make their own services I started pirating again. Why would I bother keeping track of multiple services when I can get one VPN subscription and have it all plus stuff that isn't on any of them?
I do work on personal betterment quite a lot and encourage my peers to do so. As for the rest of it, how can I start a support group or YouTube channel if no one gives a shit about me or what I have to say? No one with the power to actually make changes will listen to me. The rest already know change needs to happen but can't do anything either so it would just turn into another echo chamber. Yes, a more positive one but still an echo chamber.
I'm nearly 40 and still regularly get carded while other people out with me do not so it's not just "we card everyone". People are bad at judging age.
Will the matrix it puts us in be in 1999? Because I'd take that deal.
I was trying to use it to write a program in python for this macropad I bought and I have yet to get anything usable out of it. It got me closer than I would have been by myself and I don't have a ton of coding experience so it's problems are probably partially on me but everything it's given me has required me to correct it to work.
Looks like it sticks out a bit. Cut a slot in it and use a flathead.
How do you propose we bring this change about about? The one's who need to do it have no incentive. The rest of us can sit and think about things and blame ourselves for being men all we want but it won't change anything. I can encourage and support my peers all day long but it won't help them be more successful in life or get women to like them romantically because I have no social capital either.
Okay so say he didn't have a gun, he's still in a desperate situation. As long as he only has the capacity to kill himself it's fine?
