Yeah, as a leftist who likes guns for fun, survival, self defense, and theoretical political unrest... I still think it's ridiculous we don't have gun licenses in the US. Or a gun ownership registry.

Bans restrict freedom for everyone.

License and registration lets you maintain that freedom for most, but still restrict it where necessary (e.g. crime, mental health), and more easily track and punish those who misuse firearms.

Nah, I think that's Mason Verger.

I think the problem is inflation and stagnant wages. When you get paid a living wage, but a teacher is making peanuts, it feels wrong.

It's not that you are getting paid too much. It's that most people are being paid too little.

Prediction: Starbucks resolves the issue by raising all "milk" product prices to match the most expensive option.

Yeah, that's pretty true.

I used the lottery for the same reason for a long time. Then they raised the price and lowered your chances to win even further.

Also, seeing people win a "$1Billion jackpot" and take home less than $400M after taxes, meanwhile multiple billionaires can be shown to pay $0 on taxes... It's pretty disillusioning.

"Donald Trump is a scab."

Trump would be a scab, but he's never worked a day in his life.

But second girl only ever sees how first girl acts when she is around (regardless of who else is there). That's how perception works. She can't see how first girl acts when she's not there, because she wouldn't be there to see it.

Didn't return your grocery cart? Straight to jail.

Say what you will about the game, but IRL does a decent job of switching up the meta on a regular basis. Though it's pretty frustrating when you figure out a decent strat, and then next season it's useless.
