  • Nah, I was referring to June 1989 and of course the Uyghur genocide in Xianjiang which is ongoing today. But the CCP can’t even handle it being talked about online much less written about in actual printed books.

    When they stop blocking history from the Internet of an entire country, then we can talk about censorship . Until then, you aren’t very credible.

    edit: for the dear reader, what I am doing here is basically just whataboutism, which I generally try to avoid. But my interlocutor has been all over Lemmy whatabouting in defense of the CCP, so I felt compelled to respond in kind.




  • I spent the first 2 years of my life with no electricity. But i dont remember that part, so it hardly counts.

    Since then, I camped often. Sometimes for weeks. Longest consecutive was about a month in the Uintas.

    Longest with no electricity at home was 10 days due to a winter storm taking down lines all over. We didnt have a generator at the time.

    Worst though, was no electricity at home with an infant, in the winter. That only went two days and one night, but it felt like eternity.














  • Nope. I’m not who you replied to, but you’re misunderstanding.

    When people talk about “80 percent” in this context, they mean the firearm. For an AR, it is the lower receiver. Whether it was 3D printed has no legal bearing, federally. I could carve one out of wood or styrofoam, or fashion one from modeling clay, it doesn’t change the law.

    Federally, and in most states, it is legal (for anyone who is otherwise allowed to own guns) to manufacture a firearm. Period. No paperwork, no serial number, no background check. Nada. This is how the law currently works.

    The media likes to refer to these as “ghost guns” because it sounds spooky.

    In California and Connecticut, it needs a serial number permanently marked on it even as an 80% lower. 13 other States also have laws which touch on this.

    It is my understanding that Mangione employed an 80% pistol, so it was likely a Glock-compatible copycat.
