https://amedia.concealedcarry.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/12135010/atf-braces.jpeg these are just some of the gun laws you can accidentally break... And some of those "legal" options have been flip-flopped in recent years based on meandering policy decisions by the ATF.

It's very rare that people who wish that "guns were regulated like x" or "can't believe that guns are less regulated than y" have very little knowledge of what gun laws actually are like at the federal level, much less the archipelago of state laws.

I really like the campfire analogy. It's worse on purpose because that's the experience they want.

"I'm right. Everybody who disagrees with me is wrong. 'fact checkers' disagree with me, so they must be lying." Is well within the person woman man camera TV brain.

Ok. So it would be cool if we just reduced all taxes on student debtors to $0 until they benefit from a "not take" of all their student loans?

It's not quite the self-report that you think it is. Refusing to accept fact checking is a rational decision in the hypothetical framework that the participant is being honest and the checker is unreliable or dishonest.

Ambiguous should:

We "should" be able to rely on an immutable and reliable system to provide for us when we are old. Like a government that gives a fuck or something.

Without that, you "should" still make safe and sane financial investments, even if the system is rigged and corrupt, because no suitable alternative exists.

I give it about 4 minutes before airlines add a completely unrelated fee and a credit for not picking seats.

Not quite right. The gyroscope tracks rotation. It's really good at telling when your phone is making rapid turns, but has a a really hard time knowing the difference between a stationary phone and one that's turning very slowly. It also can't tell which direction it's starting from.

The accelerometer is used to tell which way is down, by averaging the acceleration of gravity over time. It can get confused while the phone is in motion, but when things slow down it keeps the gyroscope from wandering around.

You're often also responsible for finding somebody to cover your shift.

Like, why even have a manager?

the earth trembles and the sky parts at the thunderous roar of the might ar15.

Conspiracies are cool, but don't just make shit up.
