  • I don’t buy into the “anyone can build a gun” argument anyway.

    Bullets in america are not tracked, logged, or otherwise managed in any way by the american government. They don’t matter for making a gun because literally anyone can walk up to their local pawn shop and get some without any identity checks or other hassle.

    Guns made by 3d printers are kinda shitty, in the exact same way that jellyfin is kinda shitty compared to Netflix. They both do the job, but one just takes more time and effort to get running.

    Making a untracked 3d-printed glock is entirely doable by the average Joe.







  • Ah, I think there’s a bit of a disagreement here between what types of art are respectable and what types aren’t. For context, I subscribe to the definition of art that says “everything made with intent” is some form or other of art.

    Suppose you go to a gallery. Would you consider handicap-hostile architecture, which is part of the exhibit itself, to be worth respecting as a art enthusiast? (Stairs required to be used in order to see a painting, specifically because the artist wants you tired from walking, not pushing a wheelchair, which they don’t like, when you look at it, for example.)

    I could see it both ways, but I fall more on the side of accessibility. If an artist requires someone to use stairs to see their art, they are an asshole, regardless of how good their paintings actually are.
