I have no clue tbh. I haven't set anything up. You can try using liberapay instead maybe?

That phrasing is kinda racist, yo

I'm not close to burnout but thanks for the concern. I don't run my instance like lemm.ee does for a reason ;)

Unfortunately that philosophy led them to close down their instance due to burnout, so maybe it's not exactly a winning one 😅

That's the signal I keep hearing as well

If we get pwned, or otherwise compromised, one cannot tie your username to an email. The same reason the OP doesn't want to provide an email I guess.

I'm not going to enable your victim blaming. Disengage.

[–] db0 8 points 1 month ago

Surprisingly, I agree with you. I think jackbooting around with an AR, lefty or not, is generally stupid.

His actions were justified given that he was being shot at. I disagree wholly with you. I think the whole US gun-carry society is stupid and causes these stupid deaths, but within that context, I didn't see him doing anything wrong except trusting libs to act reasonably.

I think their only mistake is going to a lib march when plenty of anarchists warned others to stay far away from it. I also think what you're doing is victim blaming.

While people are pointing guns at him, and potentially already shooting him. Anyone would panic in that situation. Fact of the matter is that he was perfectly peaceful until someone escalated massively.

The witnesses to the event were frightened for their lives and said he raised his gun.

Do you know just how unreliable witness reports in traumatic situations are? We have no clue what actually happened.

Mall Ninjas (lonelymachines.org)

This is a collection of the wisdom posted on the internet by a guy calling himself Gecko45. It all started back at the end of the halcyon summer of 2001, and his posts have created a certain urban legend that many refer to as the Mall Ninja. Hang out at any gun shop, gun show or shooting match and you’ll see one of these guys; you might even see a group of them since they are known to associate in the wild.

The Mall Ninja is easily distinguished by an abundance of “tactical” gear, such as fatigues, a thigh holster (with, of course, a Glock), combat boots, bandolier and other accouterments that you’d usually only see on a SWAT operative. Median age is usually 19-25, and they tend to boast about their various exploits with certain Special Forces units, all of which they’re too young and idiotic to have joined (real Special Forces types don’t brag). They typically have opinions on everything, regardless of expertise, they are uniformly poor shots, and they tend to exhibit a frightening lack of safety training.

The shadowy and shrill figure known as Gecko45 is the holy Dalai Lama of these dolts, but trust me, there are more. Many, many more.
