Honestly a lot of them start out as or still contextually imply “males” in the US, but can be used gender neutrally as well now too. Like “how you guys doing” vs “hanging out with the guys.”

Meanwhile: males, dudes, guys, homies, fellas, bois, bros, lads, laddie, mates, geezers, chaps, gents, boss, hoss, cheif, buddy, pal, son, sonny, sonny boy, muchacho, hombre, old timer, Mac, Joe…

“Yeah what’s up?”

I don’t think we need to cancel Guys and Dolls just yet.

Either’s fine, they don’t mind it here either, but you may find more similar content there as well!

not that you can’t post comics-comics here,

I noted that, but it is more focused on strips because

People just tend to post more comic strips

Not that it’s a bad thing, there’s a reason I sub to both!

Hell yeah!

Also, not that you can’t post comics-comics here, but heads up this comm is more focused on webcomics and daily strips. Come join us at !comicbooks@lemmy.world for more content focused on floppies, trades, omnibussy, and compendiums and such, including but not limited to the big two.

Non-binary pride earrings

for women

Well they gave it their best shot.

Do you follow the local news in a city 275 miles from where you live? I don’t.

You mean to tell me you live in NYC? Otherwise you’re breaking your own rule being aware of the shooting (which has been pushed hard on every news outlet be it TV, internet, radio, or print since 1h after it happened, and would be hard not to know about.)

The rest, yeah, but c’mon the entire world basically watched this in real time. I was showing the video around work literally at 8am and it happened at 6am, not much delay.

cats don’t hunt roaches

Mine does. I barely squish em myself anymore, I just warn them to get out before the cat sees, and I always find the corpse in the morning.

Mine’s the opposite, I’ve started just warning most bugs I see instead of squishing them myself.

“You better get out of here before the cat sees you, nothing can save you then, and she will find you.”

I save ladybugs, and one time a lizard got in and I saved that guy, but mostly though just the stern warning and I find their corpse in the morning.

Don’t limit yourself, could go to 2 and then 3 instead of back to 1.

Well unfortunately, there’s already 600,000,000 with no registry to know where, so those are staying. That puts your options at either protect yourself should you ever have to (hopefully, and likely, you never will) or don’t and just hope it all works out. Sure, in countries where there already aren’t guns I’m not saying they should get more, but they’re here to stay.

And I know that if I were in a mass shooting and had to try and stop the shooter, I’d rather have one than not, idk about you.

No u lol.

You literally said it yourself bud, you don’t believe in using flashlights so you don’t shoot someone innocent, because you’re “real alpha men up in alaska, ooooooo.” You literally used patriarchal toxic masculinity to mock basic safety procedures lmao, you have no credibility here.

Says the guy who rails against basic safety principles? As if, lmao.

No don’t burn it you fools! You’ve set him free, he’s no longer bound to the hat!

Not a valid BIN/IIN.

The thread has gotten so small my reply button disappeared, so I’m definitely not replying any further.

You dropped your argument btw.

Idk sounds about right to me, 8%-8%. What do you expect, 8% of people carry so 50% of people have a gun on them at any given time? No, more like 8% of people have one at any given time, therefore 8% chance. Your figures seem off to me considering there are none, “nuh uh” isn’t a rebuttal.

Yes I’d imagine in other countries where no bystanders have guns shootings and stabbings are stopped less by bystanders with guns, because they don’t have them. We can see this play out in cases like the one in the UK where the shooter was stopped with a mammoth tusk ripped from a nearby museum. Frankly this seems to support my hypothesis that you have to have a gun to be able to use a gun.

Lol ad hominem, the mark of someone who “won” an argument.

Thanks for playing dingus.

I never said it’s good when someone gets shot either, you’re sure a fan of putting words in other people’s mouth.

What is good is self defense, what’s not good is forgoing self defense in a futile attempt to rid a country of 600,000,000 guns, of their guns. Why don’t you want women to be able to protect themselves from attacks? They are the fastest growing group of new owners for half a decade now, right above POC which is the second fastest, but you don’t want women and POC to have their rights. (See, we can both play these stupid games.)

In fact since you like numbers, why don’t we compare defensive gun uses to gun deaths yearly and see which one is more? I have all the figures if you’re too lazy to look them up because I’ve already told them to 100 people just like you who are against defending yourself, but of course you’ll just reject that too since it doesn’t fit your narrow worldview hmm?

By the way are you aware of what the words “shut up and go away” mean? Do I need to use a different language? Cállate verga.
