The issue isn’t guns—it’s armed, organized obstruction of law enforcement during operations targeting violent criminals. When officers are being blocked, threatened, or attacked, context matters...
Having 5 dudes hold you down while they disarm you and then shoot you in the back after your weapon is gone is not an "imperfect response."

Are hottubs a shitcoin?

Yes. Absolutely. Once you turn it on you can never turn it off, such a waste for occasional use. The only good reason I've seen to have them is older people with arthritis that use them daily.
Of course, if you can heat the water with bitcoin miners, the equation changes.

I mean you can’t really know my tone through text, but I can assure you it’s not that emotionally. Most of what you see me do on the internet is for effect.
Fair enough. For what it's worth, the way you post is effective in getting your point of view across. I think there are better conversations when the pot is stirred.

I’m not emotional about it, but I do find it perplexing that so many people are opting out for purely selfish/hedonic reasons and I think ultimately it will backfire on them and society will have to...
I dunno man, the posts you have in these veins sound like you yelling at people who don't have kids. Seems emotionally charged to me. Maybe I'm reading them wrong, are you going for inspirational?
I agree with you that the hedonistic/ dink mindset is problematic, but it is their lives to choose just like yours is.

Always amazed by the fact that telling people to get married and have children seems to illicit this emotional response where some go “no, it’s not right for everyone”.
Actually, it is.
This...
Why are you having such an emotional response to some people deciding to not have children?
I mean, if you believe that people who choose not to reproduce are so damn stupid, isn't that the best outcome? Then only all the really smart breeders and their offspring will be left to enjoy the world, right?

A good day to re-read a classic:

Let's keep doing that.

Can an AI robot turn this into this?
Maybe someday in the distant future, but that day is very far away. There are a hundred small problems to be solved when upgrading a main panel in a house.
Tradesmen have job security for a long time.

Unpopular Opinion:
Parents should push kids to attend trade school instead of college
That is what I tell all my customers who are frustrated that they have to wait weeks until I can even come look at their "small electrical job". There is a genuine shortage of tradesmen that is getting worse by the year.

Undergrad degree was created to develop general intelligence and “how to think critically”. Not job skills. Still has a place in society, but obviously not for everyone.
Trade school is better f...
Not totally true: many states allow a path to trade licensing without attending trade school. I worked as an electrician trainee for three years, learned everything on the job, then tested out. I run my own business now as an electrical contractor, and I never paid a dollar for school (my employers covered the required continuing ed classes.)

I do have questions about XRP still, as to why a product of another company will trade independent of the company?
That is a good question to ask.
At the base of it, asking "what is the value here?"
If XRP has such a good ledger, why would companies/banks/individuals choose to use it over one that is truly decentralized and permission-less? I'm not sure how they make a better case to be used as a value transfer mechanism over Bitcoin. It seems to me that it will continue to trend down over time in BTC terms.
