I'm not sure, but I think part of the problem is that the votes are "real". Since every instance has to have the same number of up/down votes they can't get away with fudging the numbers. I have no hard evidence that reddit does, but I suspect they do to increase engagement.

How can you simply learn about a fact that doesn't effect your life and just move on!? Get angry, be horrified, buy a weirdly long picket sign and go to every pride parade to express your discomfort and let it putrefy into a deeper bigotry

As a robot, finding bikes in pictures is really hard, okay

I like it in light powder, in sticky snow, that's a hard pass.

Brother is my current second favorite major brand. They are breaking a lot more than they used to and the parts that break aren't worth replacing. Canon is putting out alright printers that seem a bit more robust to me. But honestly if you just put in the money up front even hp isn't total trash. To get a not trash hp will cost $400, and there's no guarantee that it won't get a firmware update that makes it impossible to use third party ink, but it won't require hpsmart and make you want to kill yourself. So yeah, spend more on your printer, don't get an hp, and if you're not gonna spend more on your printer get a black and white laser Canon imo.

I'm not a socialist by any means (well, I have been called one by republicans...) but I've always hated this argument. The USSR and China are the only two I'm aware of that weren't massively screwed over in their infancy by the US, and/or (usually and) manipulated by the USSR.

I think you're right in what you're saying but not what I think you're implying. The solution to one problem is mental health regulations, the solution to the other is improper use regulations. Which are different, but fall under the same umbrella.

Either way, taking about cars is exactly where I'd take the comparison because it's the only other commonly owned (highly effective) weapon in the us. We require a license to use one and liability insurance to own one, then take that license away if you show that you can't use it properly. That's exactly what if like to see happen to guns.
