I’m very anti-gun for myself and live in an area where it’s fairly rare or at the very least open carry is not a thing cause it’s weird to see guns in every day life. I have shot a pistol at a shooting range and I remember it being way more powerful than expected. I actually enjoy first-person shooter video games and whatnot but in actual life I don’t want one. If I ever had to shoot someone…then I have to live with the fact that I shot someone. Not really how I want to be. I’m sure I’d shit myself in the moment but if it came to having to defend myself and I died cause I didn’t have a gun…well I guess that was my time.

I agree as I am one such case. I created an account like a year and a half ago and got so overwhelmed with it I just ignored it. Even the explainer I found was just too much. Finally a couple weeks ago I remembered it given all the Reddit is compromised stuff. I found my login info. I also happened to have had a gummy so I was in the right high mindset to just go down a rabbithole and finally figured it out. I still don’t really understand how Lemmy interacts with like Mastodon or Pixelfed etc.

Man I’m worried about measles in the next year. All the health departments being gutted, I don’t think we’re going to have a good tracking system to know how far and wide it’s going to spread. Big outbreak in Mexico that traces from the Texas outbreak. I am thankful that my immediate area is 95% vaccinated for MMR which should be good for herd immunity but there are a looooot of places these days that are below that. Kids don’t deserve this and they will be the ones to suffer.

I approve of lump. Would like to touch belly but unsure of risk assessment.

Ok here’s another question. How does this exist financially, who pays for servers and whatnot? Believe you me I am so glad not to be assaulted by ads and whatnot but isn’t this expensive?

Ah I was wondering why that arm got amputated. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Thanks for the welcome wagon. This was the first post I clicked on. I feel like a boomer (I am not one) trying to understand the Fediverse even though I can understand how email works, somehow I can’t apply that to how it works here. Like am I supposed to be able to see Mastadon or Pixelfed content on here? What would that look like? Ok also had some weed tincture so that probably has something to do with my confusion. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
