So you know when people mimick a butterfly with their hands? Yeah, just that one-handed.

Call a tailor probably

I agree with you. You hate them, that’s reasonable. They represent humanity’s failure at cooperation.

You’re also totally justified to hate those who fetishize them.

You are wrong about them being designed only to kill, though. The point of them is to wield deadly force, and they are designed to send a high-speed projectile in order to achieve that goal, of deadly force. It’s alittle semantic, but an important distinction imo, because the point of wielding deadly force is to make opponents compliant even if you never use it.

Swords, spears, bows, atlatls, and pretty much every weapon of war was the exact same way. A key difference between them and the firearm, though, is that the firearm takes little to no training in comparison to the others, which take considerable amounts more.

Everything else, we’re in agreement about. I think you hold a hate for violence as well, based on your stance. That is also healthy, but I hope you also see violence for the liberating force that it is, able to protect those that are targeted.

We are on the brink of having the US become a full-blown fascist state - as opposed to the fascistic nation it’s always been. Should that happen, I fear the only way back is through violence, and I’d much prefer having a rifle in hand to the alternative of charging down gunfire armed with a lesser weapon, as the Egyptians had to during their revolution in 2011.

I think the best way to understand the Planck length is to understand how we came to Planck’s constant in the first place. Science Physics girl has a good video on it (she shared today that she’s getting better, which is fantastic news)

Not a member myself, but I agree that this makes alot of sense, where proof of membership is a requirement to join this instance.

On a seperate note, how does one become a member of SDF?

Ah, this post explains the long pause in my account getting approved. Glad you guys resolved it.
