  • No we don’t.

    Considering that TSA, a part of DHS, let more than 90% of guns get through when tested speaks volumes. The new statistics on that have been classified so I guess we just trust then when they say they’ve caught as lot of guns.

    Know why you go through this scanners at the airport? Because a former congressman owns (owned?) a large stake in the company that produces them.

    Our intelligence knew all about 9/11 before it happened. A whole new agency wasn’t necessary, just new rules.

    Considering all of the laws ICE is breaking in the name of punishing what amounts to a misdemeanor, I think we could go back to not having them.

    But you know what we COULD use? How about some healthcare?







  • TL;DR I don’t know how any of this shit works.

    So when I left Reddit I wanted a similar experience, you know just the basic part, getting news from different viewpoints, cat videos, jokes, commentary TIL, ask Reddit, everything. I looked up online alternatives to Reddit and wherever I was had Lemmy as the top one. So I went there and when I was asked, I of course had no clue how to answer, so I picked .world because why would I want LESS than the whole world. I mean I didn’t see an option for .universe. Later, I was criticized for picking a shitty one by some random guy. So I went in the pullout on the side and couldn’t see any way to even change it.

    I almost never post because when I was on Reddit and tried to post it was almost always taken down for some reason. Once I tried to post on Lemmy. I put it in asklemmy. It was a question about Linux and I was getting some really great feedback. I was delighted and sure enough my post was deleted and I didn’t even understand the reason. I think it said something about me not belonging to the instance. So I’m thinking why did it let me post in the first place and why did it let them answer and if it’s technically possible to do it in the first place, why disallow it? For, I guess some broken guideline? Just let it slide or maybe move it the the right place and tell me where it went.

    I’m sure some of you will criticize me for not learning how it all works but man I just want to surf around and learn and be entertained and informed. I’m not looking to figure out a whole ecosystem. Some people want to take the whole car apart and others just want to get where they’re going.
