Nah, I mean you’re just in a weird spot where it’s hard to tell

Okay, that’s like the worst answer to be able to tell lol. It’ll heavily depend on what the branch is like. My local one? You’d be welcome, but a couple people would try to radicalize you.

Both are true

Ah, I didn’t realize that counted as importing, turns out only people who already own one in Washington can bring one in if they previously left the state with it. Guess the answer is either dont do it or don’t get caught. The best answer is to ask a lawyer though. The NRA might have someone you can talk to for free if you’re willing to put up with dealing with them for a little while. Just use a disposable email / phone so they don’t bother you after.

The SRA varies a lot by chapter, it’s not really a national org in any meaningful way, but both the chapters I’ve done stuff with were pretty welcoming to social democrats. What would you describe yourself as? I might be able to give a better answer.

My local chapter is a mix of communists, anarchists, and soc dems. We also do open-invite firearm trainings, and have had some liberals show up recently, but none of them have really stuck around.

If you’re concerned about maga getting violent you’ll find like-minded people in the SRA, at least on that. If you’re open to being in an explicitly leftist space, I’d probably check them out, in case shit does hit the fan, you want to know people you can ally with.

About half the country is completely checked out of politics, most of them probably know Trump’s president, but uh, good luck getting accurate answers about anything else, only 47% of Americans can even name the 3 branches of government we have, so I’m being generous here.

The remaining half is split between people who are aware and people cheering it on.

Trump appealed and it’s languishing in the system

Just get something fairly common and a 10rd compliant mag.

Much of hb1240 also only applies to sales and imports, but doesn’t ban ownership, so you can still have an ar-15 for example if you buy before you move.

There’s plenty of higher capacity shit in the rest of the US, if it comes to a point where you need them, they’ll make their way in. Just reach hook up with your local branch of the SRA when you move there.

WA does have a state guard, but it’s like 50 people iirc.

Never underestimate how much damage a dying empire can do when lashing out trying to hold on to power. The world needs to prepare to deal with the US for decades if necessary.

Yeah, that video was what I was referencing

Arc. The browser company is continuing security updates, but has otherwise stopped all development

Arc. They are only continuing security updates and necessary maintenance. No more feature work, no more bug fixes.

Nah, it’s abandoned as the company turned to ai stuff

The CEO came out as a fascist

Yarrr, matey!

Sounded like they were at least alleviating them from Trudeau’s statement

Yeah, as much as I hate it I think the best outcome comes from us suffering

That’s certainly a choice

Other methods of data collection can be scarily effective. Stores have identified people were pregnant before they knew.

Very likely they identified you as someone that could have that condition, and you noticing the ads after talking to your doctor is a form of recency bias.

You can collect almost all the same data from traditional surveillance methods. Collecting and processing mocrophone data just isn’t effective enough to make up for the massively increased costs from processing it.

Yeah, there’s just more effective methods to get essentially the same data.
