As would I. Been a home theater/audiophile guy for 25 years

It is not only rare but a red flag if you can drink like a 21 year old in your 30s and 40s. If you can drink like that in your 50s you probably have ascites.

But what about prohibition era gangsters smuggling guns cigarettes and liquor? How will we fight that scourge?

Oh I don’t I’m just trolling the hippies.

okay but what did Canada do wrong tho?

I prefer the term idiot savante

Are you a bot?

Sure but OP said 200 years ago.

Because when talking about the economics of specialty outdoor products in the US market you have to recognize that manufacturing for most US consumer products is in China. Settle down

Ah. My point was not to say that mass shootings are strictly because of advancements in firearm technology. Anyone who thinks it’s not multifactorial is a moron. But anyone who thinks the underlying technology isn’t fundamentally required for the phenomenon to occur is also a moron.

I was only responding to the fact that OP said 200 years, and just from a practical perspective 200 years ago you just couldn’t do a mass shooting. If you ask me why we didn’t have mass shootings in the 50s through 70s that’s a different question that actually gets to the point of the matter. 200 years is such a long timeframe as to be silly. Might as well ask why people didn’t send bulk emails in the 20s.

Not sure the point you’re making…

ellipses are vague…

how the hell are you going to shoot a big bunch of people with a musket?

Female dominated cultural spaces are intolerable to me. Male dominated cultural spaces are intolerable to them.

It’s almost like there’s a difference in genders and maybe you should let men and women self segregate along lines of interest.

I don’t understand the sarcasm here. My comment was perfectly relevant to the OPs question. Yours sounds condescending. Are you being condescending? Because that’s not very nice. I eat the rude.

I put it to you that $100 buys more bike in China than it does in the US.

The answer is economy of scale, the collapse of the American manufacturing industry, bloated budgets, especially brand/marketing budgets, and the prices set by OEM manufacturers who themselves have bloated budgets. A lot of these brands arent actually manufacturers but middlemen for manufacturers. They do design, service, marketing and maybe assembly. But manufacturing is primarily done overseas. If it’s manufactured domestically the labor and material costs are commensurate. Maybe the frame is made domestically, maybe not.

A perfectly decent bicycle is less than $100 in China.

It’s literally and demonstrably raising awareness. So the fuck what if it’s exlploitative, tons of much more important stuff is.

The reason this is even in the newsfeed is intersectionality, not substance.

If profiting from raising awareness is morally wrong then don’t donate to any charities either.

SIMPLE?

by all means, go right ahead. lol
