    Nah, Harsanyi’s critique of the KFF study is garbage. Take this paragraph from Harsanyi: Twenty percent of those adults equals nearly 52 million people. There were more than 40,000 gun deaths in 2022, and around 20,000 of them were homicides — a slight dip from a Covid-year historic high that followed decades of lows. So, according to Kaiser’s polling, every victim of gun violence in the past few years had hundreds, if not thousands, of “family members.” Harsanyi argues with the number of gun deaths for one year while the KFF survey asked respondents whether they have a family member who died due to gun violence in their lifetimes.

    @Catseye3 said in "Today I celebrate XXXX days of Womanhood": @jon-nyc said in "Today I celebrate XXXX days of Womanhood": I’ve peed off 23 bridges, refused to ask for directions 1,645 times, parallel parked 2,634 times . . . That's it. Jon is undisputed master of masculine self awareness in teh world. Indeed, they say awareness is always the first step to affect change.

    @Jolly said in DACA Dollars: You know what, scooter? Life ain't fair. And man is not perfect. The only way to have a functioning society, is to have fair laws, reasonably enforced to try to create equal justice under those laws. People who break laws should be treated with a modicum of compassion, but break the law they did. Therefore, should they be rewarded or penalized? The only logical thing to do, is to penalize them in some way, not reward them, which is what you desire to do. And then you wish to double down and increase the number of people entering the country illegally. Newsflash, scooter...Those illegals are sucking resources. Money that either should never have been spent or money that should be spent on citizens. Schools, healthcare, infrastructure, etc., all cost more than they should, factoring in the illegals. Read on the news today: https://nypost.com/2023/03/03/bidens-migrant-mess-costing-new-york-city-5-million-a-day/ That's $5,000,000/day in one city. Now, tell me again about how wonderful illegals are?

    @89th said in Parler is back: Their slogan ends with "speak free"... Shouldn't it be "speak freely"? Yes, I know Apple's famous slogan should also be Think Differently. "Speak free" could just be a riff off of Apple, but I doubt that's all there was to it. There's a growing trend in some corners of U.S. conservative marketing that, thinking about it now, is a lot more prevalent in Australia. (Some of Cooper's new beer ads offer pretty good examples.) Pragmatic plain-speaking is seen as a virtue whereas sounding educated in a particular way is not a good look. I'd bet part of the tone there was deliberate.

    Investing your savings in Apple is probably higher yield. Ironic.
