As a person who grew up in American schools post-Columbine, with kids in schools now, and none of us are CEOs, this is probably the take that saddens me most about this whole event. It’s our kids, and the argument used to be about freedom. Soon, we won’t even have that. What was the fucking point? (Rhetorical: profit)

I know we’re all alive at a special time in humanity. We think we’re so civilized. Then I look around, and it’s the same history playing on repeat. When do the monkeys figure out it’s one species? (Rhetorical again: 😬)

On the plus side, maybe this will actually result in some kind of reasonable gun legislation that will trickle down to a reduction of general gun violence. Maybe. Hopefully. Sometimes all it takes is showing the leopard party that their faces are also in danger.

Soon only CEOs will be allowed to carry guns?

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Trickle down gun reform? I feel like I’ve heard this before

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No. There haven’t been enough rich people dying to override the NRA propaganda so far.

People aren't all the same species. People with human bodies come in lots of species on the inside. For example, drag has a pet dragon whose body is human. The world is much more interesting after you realise everyone's different.

What? Do you have a problem with dragons, or just with love?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have a problem with dragons. They're overused to the point of being boring

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's a bit of an ironic thing to say if you're a human.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No it's not. They don't fill the same story niche. And you're human too, regardless of what your calls for calls for attention say.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -2 points 6 months ago

BOOOOOOORIIIIIING

[–] HonouraryDragon@lemmy.nz -2 points 7 months ago

Yeah? What of it?

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Sorry you're getting dragged for this comment.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Dunno why they downvoted you.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Because this multiple species take has been a basis of slavery in the past.

people aren't realizing this is that crazy guy who thinks he's a dragon and refers to himself in third person.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

No one's enslaving anybody. Dreg's just being a based otherkin and living beyond the limitations of human existence.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -1 points 6 months ago

Drag doesn't use he/him pronouns, and doesn't identify as a guy. You're allowed to disagree with drag's gender identity and think trans people should only be allowed to identify as genders you approve of, but assigning an entirely new gender onto drag is taking things a bit too far.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -2 points 7 months ago

Maybe they want the world to be boring

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

You have a pet human? Is that like a sex thing?

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, drag doesn't have any pet humans. You must have drag confused for someone else.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Does drag have any pet dragons in a human body? Is that pet dragon a sex thing?

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's a really weird and gross way to talk about drag's fiance.
