You really shouldn't be spending your money on either

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

nah. You should probably buy a gun now if you aren't a danger to yourself.

EDIT: Assuming you are in the US or its neighbours.

Don't buy it from a gun store, though.

My local gun store is a guy with a pile of ammo the size of a minivan in his attic. He got a FFL collectors license or something, I don't know the precise legalities, so he can build his own and get rare shit without having to, honestly I'm not sure whether he pays more tax now than he would have, but the paperwork has got to be worse. Maybe he has a paperwork fetish. That actually does sound like him.

Eh, if I'm in a situation I need to use my gun, the gun store is either defunct or I don't care about federal law anymore.

If I was living in the US, I'd definitely stock up on guns and ammo at this point. Not that it'll help, when the fascists come for you, but at least I wouldn't go down without a fight.

This is the one reason I’m happy Biden was in office. It gave everyone four more years to prepare. Marginalized communities were some of the heaviest buyers during that time. Small arms have been used to inflict losses on fascists since fascists became a thing. Disarmed groups are substantially more in danger than armed groups.

How many people have you seen killed by a graphics card

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, the 5090 power connector is trying to catch people's houses on fire, so it's dumb to buy one.

Only for like the 4th generation in a row, so it's not like they've had much time to fix this issue

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

just soak it in water

You can get a high point 9mm for a little over $100. Shotguns are not much more expensive.
