  • I dont have ADHD but I did (do?) have depression.

    Although not the specifics, I’ve felt the same way so many times.

    I’ve also felt that no one else has ever felt this way

    I’ve also felt that I would never get better, nor did I want to get better

    It can be better. You can be better.

    The important thing is to stay safe.





  • you say the lions share of murders are committed by drug gangs, but that’s ignoring the majority of gun injuries are self inflicted.

    And while it was written into the constitution it was amended into the constitution, and like the 21st which repealed the 18th, could be amended out again.

    you also say there are 5x defensive Gun owners. This is a made up statistic - there is no formal definition of a defensive gun owner, there is no way to shoot a gun defensively.

    While it may take time - a few generations - maybe even a dozen generations - to disarm the majority of households, it’s possible.

    who are you disarming

    the majority of gun owners own guns for fun/sport. So while, yes, it is sad to ruin fun, it’s also sad to have children killed.

    Finally, you don’t have to ban all guns, you could keep say, bolt action rifles and single barrel shotguns - where sports and hunting could still continue. This wouldn’t solve all the problems but it might have saved lives multiplicatively in mass shootings.






  • D2’s problem is different. To succeed critically they needed to produce The Taken King or The Witch Queen every content cycle, but there’s no way to do that except release only once a year — but they wanted to release every 3 months, so they made shitty DLCs that everyone mildly disliked and hyped them up so people actively disliked them on release.

    Then the shitty mini DLCs began cannibalizing the dev, time and monetary budget from the main DLCs and it fell into a downward spiral.
