Never heard of a residents’ association? They’re common in many countries around the world.

If you think this is a uniquely American thing, you’re sorely mistaken.

The people that have the mountain lion are it’s caregivers… the text is a joke.

That’s moving the goal posts and completely irrelevant; of course it’s case-by-case when it comes to what constitutes a ‘uniform’, or else no clothes would be considered non-deductible as anything could be a part of a uniform.

As someone who has studied it, have fun with that. While that poem is an outlier, there’s still a ton of things that not even inflection or context can solve.

Oddly enough, they’re also the country that invented adding cream to carbonara.

Also, the assumption that SA victim = female. The article only ever says minor and any gender can be a victim.

Zyklon B is just German for “fork and knife.”

Not everything has an answer and not everything needs to be answered. Given that you think subjective opinion is either objectively right or wrong, it’s incredibly obvious that the idea that someone would give opinion for consideration rather than argument is lost on you.

Your idea that mental disorders, and one’s opinion of it, constitutes a personality might have something to do with it.

Luckily nothing was asked, no answer was sought.

So the bar for you is generally knowing a non-zero amount of things about mental disorders but for others in this thread it’s having to know the person from the article?

Setting yourself up for an easy win by default there, smart. What’s not smart is apparently assuming you’re the only one in this thread that is even faintly familiar with mental disorders and therefore others must bow to your subjective opinion.

You don’t have to know any particular person to know that having a mental disorder doesn’t magically un-asshole them or shield them from all criticism; origin from disorder is an explanation, not an excuse. I know I’d never expect, or frankly want, anyone to suffer my presence if one of my many oddities caused them some kind of significant distress.

Sad to see a company that once manufactured arms to fight fascism turn to manufacturing them for the glorification of fascists.

Also a small nerdy aside, their ‘about’ page still mentions Blish’s delayed blowback breech locking system which, while technically effective when done properly, has since been proven to not have functioned as Blish thought at the time. It’s actually considered an unsafe delay system as modification, damage, or material change of the gun can cause the delay to disappear resulting in the explosion inside the barrel finding its way out of the wrong end of the barrel possibly injuring/killing the operator.

I sincerely hope you are not using something like that as a box cutter, because it absolutely isn’t one.
