Coolness like that isn’t realistic for normal people like us.

The logical explanation is you don’t know the law correctly because your “friend” at the ACLU realized a wild bisexual hothead such as yourself with a gun was a recipe for disaster, understandably. So this person lied, made up a litany of non-existant jurisprudence, and the world is safer and sexier as a result. This does not mean that actual claims of self-dence go away.

There is no defense for this that can legally be presented because he was unarmed.
Is this codified somewhere or are you just making shit up?

As a bi guy, who probably doesn’t come across as obviously effeminate when talking, who is probably able to walk down the street without getting dirty looks for being bi, who probably is able to go to a deli and buy a sandwhich without people knowing you are bi, you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about…
But a lot of idiots are hot… Which makes me think you might be hot… And if you are bi and hot we should kick it sometime. You want to give me the help I need? ;-)

Think about all the scared transphobes less likely to harass transgenders. She probably prevented numerous trans people from being assaulted and prevented some trans kids from committing suicide due to a reduxtion in bullying. She’s a hero. IMHO, she should get a medal.

What is the acceptable level of violence LGBT people must endure before responding? Keep in mind LGBT people are constantly receiving low levels of emotional abuse: dirty looks, mean laugh, cruel comments… So when violence happens, exactly how long should someone like that wait? Would 4 punches have been okay?
Also, have you ever heard of one punch knockout deaths? They do happen, people get into bar fights, someone gets knocked out, falls backward, hits their head, and dies. Being hit and punches can get lethal…
Your logic feels transphobic to me, not genuine thought free of prejudice

You know how many trans people commit suicide because they are ridiculed, spat at, hit, degraded in all sorts of circumstances all the time?
If people are more afraid to treat trans people like shit, that means fewer trans kids killing themselves.
She likely saved more lives by 1 death. There should be a culture of fear around disrespecting trans people. I am glad assholes will be more afraid that the trans person they dislike could havr a knife and could stab them. She’s an American Hero.
Also fuck you. Now multiply that by 1000, all the timr, every day, and that’s how trans people feel all the time you stupid ignorant fuck.

- Comment on Judge finds police acted reasonably in shooting New Mexico man while at wrong address 4 weeks ago:
This is likely due to free masonry and the judge and cops both having membership at lodges.
No reasonable person thinks a cop randomly showing up at night out of idiocy, and an older man waking up and grabbing a gun, and being shot is acceptable, or justified, on account of the fact that the police were there because of sheer illiteracy.
Must be nice to be part of that cult.

KryptKey is much easier than Kleopatra. It works as a keyboard and encrypts and decrypts on the fly. It’s a powerful local too that’s very usable. Kleopatra is great for people who can learn the OPSEC but it may not be great for have a quick back and forth text message discussion.

The idea that intelligence has no impact on computer skills and the ability to quickly learn computer skills is magical thinking. Intelligence differences are real and the solution is to make easy explanation to help people learn. I am not among the most intelligent people on Lemmy, the intelligence of the average Lemmy person probably at least an IQ above 115. It’s not about elitism, it’s about accessibility. I have terrible coordination. If someone tries to teach me advanced tennis, it would be bad, but if someone recognizes my coordination limits and is like, the goal is to just hit the ball once, then perhaps I have fun with tennis.

There is a reason such a large Parr of Lemmy is developers. There’s no confusion signing up for the developers. Federations and servers and instances are all crazy jargon to regular people. Although we may not want all regular types here, having some more regular people to balance out all the high IQ techies could make things more fun.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 4 months ago:
New users get overwhelmed with decision fatigue, especially when they have average intelligence.
When selecting a federation, new users should be told:
“Because Lemmy isn’t run by a large corporation, lots of small volunteers run Lemmy and run different copies of Lemmy at the same time. These different copies are called instances. You can choose 1 or just click the large red button and we’ll randomly select one of the most popular instances for you. If you aren’t sure what to choose, just press the button!”
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 4 months ago:
I remember being curious about the fediverse and when I first looked and saw “instances” I got decision fatigue.
I didn’t know if an instance would limit me from interacting with others, could randomly disappear (ie hexbear domain), or if some instances would be a bad fit. I also didn’t know of it was unchangeable. Decision fatigue set in and I was less excited, but still registered.
To overcome that, there should be a “randomly choose for me” button with notes next to it that say you can change later, it won’t impact things, and you can interact with any instance. For random selection, just make it the top 3 most popular instances. Use a fun icon to indicate random change so the on boarding user has to think less.
Instances seem very confusing to an average user, as does federation. There could be an explanation like "Instead of 1 big company controlling everything, there are many copies of Lemmy that are in different places run by volunteers. These “instances” or copies are all Lemmy and can interact with each other, but having many copies means there isn’t ever 1 big company who can set all the rules and suddenly change thing in a bad way. " and then the random selection button which almost everyone would choose.
The average user dosn’t want to RTFM and also has an IQ of around 100 which is really low. The average reading ability of someone in the USA is like 6th grade level or something atrocious. You can’t overestimate average intelligence in an in boarding process.

I don’t understand this and therefore it’s stupid and pointless. Fuck you math elitist assholes with your so-called “large” prime numbers spending billions of dollars that could be used to make my life better. I don’t understand this at all and there it does not matter. The end.
