yall im fucking crying i had a dream last night that aliens came to earth and they were kinda real serious like vulcans and so obviously we were all serious too trying to impress them and it was all very civil and then they saluted their leader but their salute was a fucking dab and we all lost it and nearly started a fucking war
ppl are so interested in aliens but how would they expect to learn about cultures from different planets/solar systems if they can’t even accept different cultures on ya own damn planet from your own damn species
Look I’ve never laughed as hard at anything as I did at this WHY ARE THEY like this
Every time I demand my friends spend 24 hours studying Chinese pottery, they always ask why. I wish I had a friend like Watson who would do my nonsensical bidding without any context.
since the whole Gay Babadook thing got popular, i’ve honestly gotten less paranoid being home alone in my (pretty creepy) house. whenever i hear a bump, i just think “oh that’s just the babadook in my my basement, doing his gay shit” and it’s suddenly not scary
i never realised that The Babadook was accidentally put in the LGBT+ movies section of Netflix i thought we all just collectively decided the babadook was gay for no reason at all
the #1 most persuasive argument for them having used Brechtian Verfremdungseffekt this season is that I felt nothing when 221B blew up, i love that damn place…. shrink me down….
God, what WAS all that with Martin in interviews freaking out every time someone asked him about the relationship between Sherlock and John? He’d break out into a flop sweat and go on about how “they weren’t fucking” and it was a platonic sort of love and he didn’t know he was just in it, he didn’t know . . all the while sheer panic shone in his eyes.
Since Holmes and Watson were never going to BE a couple in BBC Sherlock, and he had no overtly coupleish scenes filmed in this show, what the HELL was Martin going on about? I have more questions than I had six months ago.
Nothing is going to change. Americans love their guns more than they love people and after Sandy Hook we decided that killing over 20 children was acceptable and not outrageous enough to make reasonable restrictions on guns. This is America, a country that has been around for 200 years, a superpower, a 1st world nation, and one of the wealthiest countries on the planet and we refuse to protect our own people. We respect guns more than we respect the lives of people.
What specific gun control measures would you propose and how would they directly and effectively make society safer?
Absolutely get rid of all AR-15′s and the like.
Intense background and criminal background checks and anything violent automatically disqualifies you.
Make getting a gun/gun permit more like getting a driver’s license:
permit to learn
includes an exam with 18 or more questions on the policies, laws, and etc of guns and gun ownership
if you get more than 8 questions incorrect you must retake it.
30 hours of practical experience at a gun range with a licensed teacher
Must take a 5 hour class on the dangers of guns and how to use them safely which will then yield you a certificate that grants you to take the practical exam and lasts for one year. If you don’t gain the license within the allotted year you must retake the class.
A practical exam with a licensed instructor who will grade you on various skills. If you pass you may be granted a permit on the weapon of your choice, the exams may differ on the type of firearm you want.
Follow the Japanese model where you must have two gun safes in different areas of the house, one to store the gun and one to store the bullets and you must provide the police with information on where those safes are.
No concealed carry and only handguns may be allowed to be out in public.
If transporting a weapon, it must be in the trunk of the vehicle, in a bag or some other case, safety on and unloaded and may not leave the vehicle until you are at the destination.
If you’re a hunter or some other gun hobbyist that requires a functional weapon other than a handgun then the gun must stay on the premises, whether that is a gun range or the Fish and Wildlife facility.
If you live in a rural area where police (and people, for that matter) are few and far between, something akin to a deer hunting rifle should provide plenty of protection from predators and poachers, you still have to follow the aforementioned steps.
This doesn’t cover everything but I think it’s a good place to start.
Can you show me evidence that this would directly and effectively create a safer society?
I have never laughed so hard at a gun law post. Like seriously, the evidence is in fucking reality. The proposed restrictions are just fucking logic.
Straight girls who are incredulous at the thought of an f/f relationship because they think it would just be like “having a relationship with your best friend, how could I take that seriously?” Is sooooooooo disturbingly sad because like, yeah, a relationship should be with someone you consider your best friend? It just shows how straight people have this fucked up perception of what a relationship is supposed to be like it rly backs up heteronormative roles of men basically looking for a second mother to do everything for them and women looking for someone to take care of instead of being an equal partnership with someone you both love as a partner and like as a friend
