Comment Re:"Relief"? (Score 1) 25

From regulations created after many, many people were screwed over (see "Great Depress", "tech bubble", and 2008)?

Exactly - regulations exist for a reason and have a clear purpose.

For anyone who opposes regulations in their industry, the lack of any regulation should *affect them only*, not the greater population. Just like it did Stockton Rush.

Comment The irony (Score 2) 11

It's ironic in a way (though people may call it poetic justice) that he was assassinated while discussing gun violence.

Back in April 2023, he had said on gun violence/control (full quote so I don't get accused of leaving context):

"I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

(I'll argue that God had nothing to do with this, but I digress)

Well, he certainly epitomized what he said. I'm sure his wife and kids are saddened by his loss (and give my condolences), but they should also be proud of his sacrifice for what he believe and stood for.

Comment I gave up on it long ago (Score 3, Insightful) 75

when you couldn't even post an actual answer (instead having to resort to a 'comment') simply because you didn't have enough "reputation" - this meant many other useful answers were buried amongst useless comments, making the whole site useless (including its search functions and cross-subject snippets making Google searches just as useless.)

Comment Well, obliviously! (Score 1) 265

let's start a Civil War, because that is obliviously a great solution

Well "obliviously" you're oblivious to the fact that this is pretty much exactly what it's going to take to solve things at this point.

You've got a government illegally deporting US citizens in clear violation of court orders. Exactly what else are you going keep letting this rogue government do before you actually start doing something about it? Wait on Democrats to magically solve all this? Or do you still believe the Superman movies were actually documentaries?

Comment Bought site-unseen? (Score 0) 272

Sounds like they did the silly consumer mistake and just bought it in a hurry, based solely on reviews by some site(s), instead of doing proper research of the features beforehand. Grabbing the manual online isn't that hard to know how easy or complicated the thing is going to be to operate (and would've seen this well in advance of spending 4 hrs installing it and then finding out!)

Comment Not the USA! (Score 1) 114

I understand the USA had a system that worked in the 60s but things do improve over 60 years.

Except that the USA never improves, as can be seen in the current political climate there.

50 years ago: Nixon commits a crime, and resigns to avoid impeachment (which would have gotten rid of him). Later pardoned by Ford because reasons.
Today: A convicted felon and rapist is elected President.... again!
