This is the part I’ve never quite understood. If you don’t trust the person pointing the gun to not shoot you, you have no reason to comply. Everything is self defense.

So in a nutshell, existence is a threat. Yeah that tracks.
Consequences require action by people willing to stand up. It’s still possible just highly unlikely.

5·18 hours agoAnd still nothing will happen. If the shit he’s already doing isn’t considered an active threat I’m not sure what else could. Maybe this would garner more attention from the general public, who knows. If it did that would be good but we are quickly approaching too little tol late.

Technology@lemmy.world•Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals ObsoleteEnglish
2·5 days agoI have them. I also have a large monitor both at home and at work that the sweet spot for being able to focus is a narrow range toward the bottom. So I have a pair of single vision computer glasses that I either misplace or forget I’m still wearing when I leave the office to drive home. So I’m still constantly switching glasses. Yeah I know …. first world problems. I want my old eyes back. Getting old sucks.
I just want a technological fix for what my eyes used to be able to do on their own.
