Yeah… he was an idiot for choosing to bring a firearm near known civil unrest, but it was pretty clearly self-defense. I mean they ran after him and attempted to seize his firearm…

Pretty good case for gun control as a concept, though. Ultimately both parties were endangered and forced into action by fear for their lives by the fact that the firearm was in the situation to begin with. As a protestor, I’d fear for my life if an armed counter protestor showed up, cause you know the cops aren’t gonna keep you alive if that guy chooses to start shooting. But any action I could take to prevent that puts the firearm owner in a position to reasonably fear for their lives. The mere appearance of the firearm puts the situation on a path to escalation. Maybe lethal weapons shouldn’t be allowed casually in public.

Don’t worry, I already have no idea what mewing, mogging, skibidi, or Ohio mean. I’m already the old man yelling at clouds.

Agreed. We’ve lost a lot of ground to the barons of the new world, but the swell of support for unions is a light in the darkness. As much as I have bad things to say about our society, I’m happy we live somewhere where we can push back without going to jail.

“Based” is pre-zoomer (Gen Z/Alpha) gamer slang for “great”, with a slight connotation of oppositional greatness.

Original gamer use may include describing use of the N word for memes as “based” as its a counter-cultural thing that gamers saw as good. Nowadays it’s pretty “normie-core” and any time something upsets the status quo in a positive way that might make opposition upset, is based.

For example, Dark Brandon, a reimagining of the “let’s go Brandon” MAGA meme to be a progressive, anti-MAGA meme used as kind of a soft middle-finger to the right-wing internet, was incredibly based.

I think you misunderstood.

1. Shame we have so many horrid companies with so much power.
2. Biden’s admin is amazing because I’ve never seen so many pro-consumer cases get filed.

Medicine price negotiations, antitrust lawsuits, price gouging lawsuits, unfair fee lawsuits, etc. Biden admin FTC+DOJ have more teeth than I’ve ever seen.

I can’t remember a period of time with so many anti-trust and other consumer protection lawsuits from the FTC and DOJ.

Shame we got to this state, but Biden admin is deeply based.

Idk… lotta people on mics in pre/post-game lobbies in Splitgate for it to be bot matches
