  1. Re:Pipe bombs would have killed thousands. on Las Vegas Shooting Leaves at Least 50 Dead, More Than 200 Wounded (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    "If we lost 99% of the population through the course of their lives to mass shooters it would still be better than taking everyone's guns and in turn letting the corrupt politicians steamroll over everyone else at a whim, at least mass shooters are random so it doesn't change the demographics for the worse."

    You seem to be a conspiracy theory enthusiast of the largest order. I just want to laugh at your reasoning in this quote of yours but its scary you can think thats a smart rationale.

  2. Re:Nope, just another echo chamber. on Radical Leftists Built Their Own FOSS Alternative To Reddit After It Banned Them (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    "In the US, the "radical left" means people who call for universal government-provided healthcare, a strictly progressive tax scheme in which those with the most income pay the highest proportion of it in taxes, and a well-funded system of universal education under direct government administration."

    you'd think christians would take this way as confirmation of being a christian, shame they don't practise what they preach.

    "The extra CO2 released during production of an electric car versus its ICE alternative is the same amount of CO2 the average ICE user releases over 7 years" why did you forget to mention the amount of CO2 released during the production of an ICE and not add it to the comparison (plus all the CO2 released in fossil fuel extraction, transportation and refinement)?
