When I challenge my established concepts with new ideas or angles, and realize my previously held truth doesn’t hold up to scrutiny, or is reinforced or expanded upon. For example, “is a hot dog a sandwich?” makes me reconsider how so much depends on context, and how we as humans crave labelling and categorizing to the point of it being detrimental (see biological sex vs gender, Star Trek edit wars, classical music and pornography cataloguing, etc)

No, there’s nothing down there, just a shirtless incel that browses Vchan all day. Scared of flashlights for some reason

The science is pretty clear; gun control works. Every time you repeal gun control laws, loosen restrictions, open gun stores, gun-related deaths escalate, often dramatically. States with higher gun ownership rates have higher rates of homicides caused by guns. Even a 1% reduction in gun related deaths would be the equivalent of 2,500 people per year. Kids die more often from gun-related deaths than car-related deaths.

Mass shootings also barely make up 1% of gun-related deaths, so the science behind them isn’t as well studied, but things like reducing magazine sizes shows a correlated relation in reduction of mass shootings.

(Some of the sauce)

SR1 was nowhere near as bad as Tomb Raider. The combat was a bit boring and the puzzles were repetitive, but the platforming was significantly more viable than Tomb Raider.

I mean, I haven’t touched either game in over two decades, and I only briefly played Tomb Raider versus the hundreds of hours I spent in all the Legacy of Kain games, and I frequently watch cutscene “movies” of the LoK titles, but I’m sure that hasn’t created a bias in me whatsoever.

Bowser for Kart and Kirby for smash… makes sense

A large object or creature travelled through the centre of the web. The spider is nervous or relieved, either from the intensity or near-miss of the collision.

Just a quick safety PSA, bibles are only good for protecting against Judeo-Christian demons. I always recommend keeping an oonusa for yokai, a copy of Bhagavata Purana for preths, etc
