  • Forcing someone to use a different form of media to get acceptable support for your product is pretty bullshit. If I can sign up for, pay for, and use your product for years without a telephone, I shouldn’t suddenly be forced to use a phone to get support.

    Even if that might be the best solution at this point, it’s still garbage and something to justifiably complain about, especially considering it’s mildly infuriating we’re talking about.

    Lol I think you mean “sorry I misread.” Imagine being that bad at context and blaming the writing. Sure I could’ve been more explicit but most people can handle a single ambiguous pronoun in a comment chain without writing a whole salty comment about how wrong one clearly contextually incorrect interpretation is. You’re what’s wrong with the liberal gun community.

    Select fire is a weapon that can do full auto and semi auto. In other words, colloquially a full auto rifle. No AR-15s for the civilian market today are select fire or burst fire. Buying a new select fire or full auto rifle has been extremely illegal at the federal level for literal decades, as would be turning your semiautomatic into a select fire (without heavy duty federal licensing at a minimum)

    Maybe you should learn the difference?

    No, it’s like pushing for horse-drawn carriage control because people in cars are speeding, or like saying there’s a butter-knife loophole around sword bans.

    It’s fucking important to know about the things you’re trying to legislate, and knowing that an AR-15 isn’t an assault rifle is such a basic bit of information.








  • There’s a huge part of it that is because there’s no communication mechanism to resolve conflict on the road, really.

    If you’re stuck behind someone going slower than you want to, how can you clearly communicate that?

    Even in a world where you could clearly speak to them, there’s huge potential for disagreement there, and since the only communication mechanisms can very easily be construed as needlessly dangerous or aggressive, of course you’re gonna see frustration and anger as a result



  • To be fair to the other side, it’s entirely possible (and even common) to have worked in a field for 20 years while learning completely incorrect things about it. Or learning nothing.

    People say things like “I’ve used a computer every day for 20 years, I think I know how it works” and then ask if they should “reboot the hard drive” and then they power cycle the monitor.
