Modern wonders exist
  • I realize it's a joke but answering to the first tweet - one could simply post a picture of the Sagrada Familia which is super impressive if you've seen it live and it's still under construction today.

  • That's not the adjective I'd use
  • Some of this shit reads like bad action movie plots.

    Death ray plot

    In June 2013, two men from upstate New York were arrested after building a "death ray" x-ray device and plotting to use it against Muslims and other perceived enemies of the US and Israel,[46] including Obama. The men, Glenn Scott Crawford and Eric J. Feight, were arrested by the FBI after a 15-month operation involving FBI agents posing as co-conspirators. A court affidavit described the device as "a mobile, remotely operated, radiation-emitting device capable of killing human targets silently and from a distance with lethal doses of radiation."[47]

    Crawford, affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, allegedly had contacted an Albany synagogue and a Jewish organization and asked for their assistance with technology that could be used against Israel's enemies. Crawford also plotted to kill President Obama with the device. The undercover agents rendered the weapon inoperable to eliminate potential danger to the public. Crawford and Feight were charged with "conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists".[48][49][50][51][52] In 2015 Crawford was convicted and on December 19, 2016, he was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison. Feight pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 8 years and one month in prison.[53][54]

  • Elon Musk Is Repulsive
  • Oh wow, I didn't catch that, I thought he was offering one of his own unloved children to someone more caring or...sane and was a little confused. Your reading of it makes way more sense.

  • She ate a poppy seed salad just before giving birth. Then they took her baby away.
  • For example Hypothyroidism, Cushing syndrome, pco-syndrome or lipedema and several metabolic deficiencies. Then there's also a plethora of psychological issues that can influence the metabolism and eating habits negatively. Even the social status has an proven effect on the bodyweight.

    All we have is a couple of pictures of the child, it's impossible to tell what is going on.

  • She ate a poppy seed salad just before giving birth. Then they took her baby away.
  • Well, one of her kids is obese, and I would call that abuse.

    Personally I wouldn't be so quick to judge on that. 1 out of 3 kids we can see in the photos is overweight, the other two look healthy. There might be something else at play with that one child, which is out of her control, we don't know that.

  • Georgia shooting: father of teen suspect charged with second-degree murder
  • The linked article doesn't say it was a AR-15 it says assault-style rifle and I would consider the specific model to be splitting hairs, since it hardly matters to the conversation.

    But to be truly pedantic the article a little further down specifies it as an Assault style semi-automatic rifle, so fair enough.

    but to clarify that fully automatic weapons are much more rare, and much more dangerous.

    Agreed. Still, semi-automatic assault style rifles pose a unique danger in that they could be "upgraded" to fire full auto, although it being illegal. Most of those are derived from regular fully automatic weapons and the layout allows them to be converted more easily. For example a SL08 with I think 4 parts switched can be operated like it's military counterpart, the G36.

  • Georgia shooting: father of teen suspect charged with second-degree murder
  • Afaik there is no state where an underage person is allowed to handle assault style fully automatic weapons without the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. So even if it is his gun, it falls under parental supervision until 18 years old.

    Semi automatic or hunting rifle is a little more murky.

    Anyway I think that your comment nailed it - a person under 18 was able to obtain and handle a gun without supervision is a failure to secure.
