Has there ever been a repeat mass shooter? Is the risk of recidivism really the right theory for understanding the incarceration of mass shooters? Even if we broaden the question to whether juvenile mass shooters are likely to commit other crimes, is that even true?

It would be nice to have some opposition, though. Even if most "conservative" media right now is little more than xenophobia, or cult worship, there do exist sound arguments against the typical internet-left positions. I don't have a solid enough read on what comes through New in the fediverse to say whether any of that is being submitted and just downvoted off everyone's feeds, or if all that's being submitted is the average conservative media junk.

Still, political spaces without opposition/diversity invariably degenerate into purity contests, and circle jerking.

Well not quite that either. I don't know how to pack this up into a tidy analogy, but the issue is that some of these communication platforms have been designed in such a way that no record of the content can be accessed by a third party.

So maybe it's more like, "Please give me a transcript of the keynote speech at your murderer's convention," and replying, "Sorry I don't have a transcript." And then the government further saying, "Well then you need to let us install bugs in all your rooms," and you, the host of many different conventions reply, "No. Privacy is part of the service." I have now belabored this analogy to death. You're welcome.

In case the post title makes anyone think that it is the title of the painting, Beksinski didn't title any of his drawings or paintings.

I think in the context of legislation, interpreting "let pass" to mean "allow to be signed into law" is understandable. But I see you just meant it chronologically.

"let pass".. . is there some major confusion about how presidential vetoes work here, or what do you even mean?

Lmao what is this edge-lord shit?

That's not my experience, and I'm an elder millennial. The only time tiering up has encouraged me to quit a game was when the higher ranked players were just more toxic. Being challenged can be part of the fun.

That's not to say I think matchmaking is simply better than persistent servers. Having a group of regulars and developing a bit of a server culture is good fun. I guess I like both options depending on the mood.

I never would have guessed other people had this dream. Psychology is wild.

Linux is a great server OS. It's an okay desktop OS.
