Word on the street is she’s been hit by, she’s been struck by, a smooth criminal.

Mine also did, but it didn’t really work for me that well to be honest.

So you’re saying we all need to learn to trim trees as a backup plan?

The problem is that there are no industries or jobs that are entirely safe in the long term. Yes white collar jobs are most at risk at the moment, but I see no reason to believe manual labor wouldn’t be at risk after 5-10 years. I literally don’t know what we are supposed to do?

I think the problem is that those who like to flaunt the second amendment as their patriotic civic duty are the same group that believes Trump can do no wrong. Until most of those fringe right wing militia types are convinced he has to go no action will be taken on their part.

That said I don’t think guns are the answer to the problem at this juncture. Let’s face it, if it comes down to a matter of firepower the US Armed Forces will win every time. The US military budget is more than the GDP of most countries. There are no circumstances where a bunch of hillbillies with guns will ever win that fight.

Mention anything about veganism and watch the comments pile on. The Lemmy group mind is not a fan of anything that challenges their currently held viewpoints.

Veganism in particular is hard for some people, because it pokes holes in their current world view and it effectively says you could be doing more, for people who already view themselves as ethical and caring hearing some of those hard truths can feel like an attack.

And on Lemmy in particular people like to shut down dissenting viewpoints such as those.

And please don’t hit me with responses on why you think veganism is dumb, I’m merely making an observation as to what is not tolerated on this platform.
