  • Matter and energy cannot be destroyed, they only change form
    
    

    Yes, and the energy in your body is not ever destroyed. Your consciousness is electrical and chemical energy running a biological computer (brain). That energy is NOT lost when you die. Your brain will rot and be broken down by bacteria and worms, they will get that energy and it will continue FOREVER. The data, your consciousness, does not survive this energy transfer.

    I highly suggest you read Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan. He really breaks down how much of this speculative stuff gets taken as fact without any proof, or even with proof to the contrary. It really is applicable today when people are rejecting reality in favor of religion, crystals, and energy healing. He uncovers the psychological processes that make this happen over and over in the course of human existence.

    TLDR; It’s all bullshit (he puts it way more respectfully)


  • The human soul cannot be measured even in a human body… So why do you think it exists? You sound like someone who completely rejects science in favor of fairy tales that make them more able to go to sleep at night.

    Reality is harsh and cruel. Your ‘soul’ is just your consciousness, it disappears the second there is no energy to keep your brain alive. The second you die you are gone forever, the only thing that remains is your memory until those people die. Nature does not care about you, you have the same worth as a cockroach.

    All of these religious fairy tales are there to exploit your fear of death. They give you a fairy tale saying that death isn’t the end so you feel better about life. All you have to do is follow their rules 😂

    I think you are conflating liberals with the left in general.

    The time for liberals is gone, armed progressives are the future. Go far enough left and you get your guns back

    I have gone shooting with many Republicans. Let me tell you that owning half a dozen guns does not make you a good shot. Training does.

    Three different Republicans failed assassinating Trump with guns. They think ownership is all it takes. This isn’t a fucking video game

    Why do old gun nuts ignore the beginning of every interpretation and rewriting of the second amendment? “well regulated”

    The nuts will not care until it is their child who is turned into pink mist.

    Do you know how many Democrats I have met who actually want to ban all guns? Zero. You are just parroting Fox News talking points that make the left seem like they are anti-freedom.
    Go far enough left and you get your guns back.

    We don’t want to strip the world of guns, we want to strip guns from those who have violent intentions and mental illness. I’m willing to bet that you agree with this and you are probably further left on this than you actually think you are

    Does your opinion on braces change or do you still think that they Don’t make an AR-15 more dangerous having one? I would love to go to the range with you we can take the brace off of my AR and shoot the target, then put it back on and shoot the target. I guarantee you will miss the paper at least once without the brace. This is not me saying they should be illegal. But people like you keep trying to say that braces don’t do anything, that is an outright lie

    This discussion means absolutely nothing if people have bad faith arguments. And I’m talking about both sides

    Because they make it easier to stay on target for rapid fire shots.

    Go ahead and try to tell me that a brace doesn’t make a AR pistol more dangerous to a crowd. I’ve heard this argument a thousand times and I have worked out every angle. Let’s just be honest?

    I feel like I have no place. Gun nuts completely ignore reality, gun haters have no real plan for change.

    I’m curious how you feel about Hunter Biden being charged with a felony for saying he did not use any drugs on his gun registration. Almost every shooter I know is guilty of the exact same crime, yet everyone thinks it’s okay because he’s a Democrat lol. The second amendment only exists for those who you like 😂

    I’ll be honest, as a gun owner I completely despise the gun community. Especially the 3D printed gun community. Filled with Nazi dog whistles, The most popular full auto loophole is called the SS




  • I just moved here and you’re not wrong. All the roads are fucked up, even in the suburbs. Everything just feels cheaper than Virginia.

    The license plates aren’t even stamped, just a coat of paint lol. Major roads are just filled with potholes forever.

    Went to a shooting range and they got mad at me for shooting too fast. Like what is the benefit of being here??? I thought you guys were free?

    I just moved here for cost of living but partially regretting it
