I am a liberal progressive, by far.

You sure as shit aren’t “progressive” if you suck Amazon’s cock, dude. It’s been common knowledge for years that they’re shitty to their drivers.

If someone claimed to be Muslim but talked about how they loved eating pork and pissing on pictures of Muhammad I’d call fucking bullshit. Same thing with you. You’re a shitty excuse of a liar and troll.

by far

What a fucking joke lmfao

EDIT: Last week, I sold some stuff I don’t need anymore to a guy who’s working at an Amazon warehouse. Had to reschedule meeting multiple times cause he kept on crashing after work and was too tired to meet. You don’t fucking work there, you motherfucking liar. Fuck you and everyone else who shills for these evil corporations. You’re just fucking evil.

Amazon bots.

Let me guess. You’re 18, grew up in a conservative household, have never worked a “real” job before this one, and you think that paying under $300 in union dues a year is “fucking bullshit”? How close am I with those?

You’re either a paid corporate shill or horribly naïve.

I have to respectfully disagree. It’s not a “general” leftwing thing. But it certainly is an extremist leftwing thing. Would you consider someone who believes all women should be able to get abortions, China is one of the best countries in the world, and Obama was one of the best presidents we’ve had in half a century a rightwinger? There are quite a few extremists on the left who will happily tell you about a certain race is a “problem”. Not much different than Nazis imo

your family is properly fucked

Agree there 100%.

Pretty much. What makes it worse is just about everyone was more moderate a decade ago. Everyone’s just gone off the deep end. Never would have thought I’d hear these things from them back then.

My family is extremely left wing and religious right wing. So…

“Not enough Israeli civilians are dying.” “Palestinians shouldn’t exist.” “Hamas isn’t evil.” “Trump won the election.” “Jewish culture is a Western invention.” etc

Fun times. Probably my last Thanksgiving with biological family.

If they believe, then they become “mind controlled”, “double agents”, “traitors”, etc to other flat earthers.

We absolutely can stop this. Democrat leadership just doesn’t fucking want to, for the same reason Republican leadership doesn’t want to actually ban all abortion. It’s a wedge issue. Solving this issue means it’s harder for them to drum up voter support.

I want to stop this, but anyone who thinks the solutions is laws like this doesn’t actually care. You WILL NOT stop gun violence with these kinds of laws. We need to tackle the reasons behind the violence and put in place some actual fucking security at places that are common targets. If someone can shoot up a school, they can also bomb it, gas it, whatever. But you don’t want to hear that, do you? You don’t actually give a fuck about innocent children dying. You just want to virtue signal on the internet so you can show your friends how you “totally OWNED this debate”.

Grow up. Put some actual thought into how these issues can be solved instead of barfing out a thing you heard before.

Maybe I’m missing something, but what exactly in this bill would prevent people with a history of domestic violence from obtaining firearms? Isn’t it already illegal for someone convicted of that crime from owning a firearm in Maryland?

If the background checks are somehow not preventing people from owning firearms who are already legally barred from doing so, then the problem is the background check process. Why the fuck do so many leftists keep on refusing to acknowledge that the problem is how consistently background checks are done? It’s fucking insane.

I just have one question for anyone who’s here and thought this was a good law. What mass shooting would this have prevented? Thank you.

soo coo

Guess what? I work in this field too.

now one person can do what 20 did in the past with a computer

How can you say this but completely miss the fucking point?

We do not have fast enough anything (storage/ram/CPU) to do what you think it can When quantum computing actually takes off then you can start worrying

Oh, that’s how you can say it. You clearly don’t work in this field if that’s what you think the bottleneck is right now.

I’ve personally used AI to generate more than 200K lines of production code this year alone. One senior engineer today can do the work of dozens with this. We are going to go from labor shortages to labor surpluses.

The technology that can automate problem solving to some degree and other incredibly complicated tasks that only humans previously could do is toooooooooooooooootally a fad.

Start putting some fucking pressure on your politicians to implement UBI, put legal restrictions on AI, etc. Don’t fucking underestimate this tech. It’s only a matter of time before we’ve got more people than jobs.

Oh man, you lost me at “I’d personally love if the Dems were all neolibs”. Neoliberals are as much the answer to America’s problems as “classical conservatives” are.

The whole point is that the Democrats have had a public mandate and majority control of the executive and legislative branches multiple times under multiple Democratic presidents in the past century. But what have they actually accomplished besides marginal improvements at best? They can’t even just stop or reverse Republican damage. The bar is higher than just that. They’re absolutely pathetic and can’t do jack fucking shit.
