I think you misread the statement you’re quoting. Can you elaborate on what your take on it was?

My take was “China is banning acts that undermine a general Chinese Ethnic unity or create Ethnic Division (saying one group is different than another, you know, like a cultural pride or language teaching services in their native dialect would be examples)”

I think you’re being downvoted because, although facetious in comparison because of it’s clearly inflammatory and directed-hate kind of nature, the Bible and Mein Kampf both pose terrible ideas and concepts for any young mind. The murder/rape/incest/genocide/slavery-justifying stuff is all over the place, sprinkled in with stuff about how to be a good person.

Maybe if it wasn’t currently the main religious text now hopelessly tied to the political right of the nation (and not even getting into the uniquely extreme version of protestantism the US has compared to the rest of the world) and actively being used as justification for shitty beliefs/actions/legislation, I could see your point about having it as a text to study, but also probably only in the final years of high school if not just for college, and with religious studies professors/experts and not Mr. Bortner the P.E./history teacher that also coaches the football team.

I can’t say for sure, I only shoot skeet and wood targets on dirt/ground-backed hills.

But https://www.atomicdefense.com/blogs/news/can-bullets-go-through-brick seems to say: “Heavier rounds such as a 7.62x39mm or .308 rifle may penetrate the walls of a brick-veneered house, but it is not likely”

I could imagine a higher caliber hunting round going through a brick wall when pointed at it, but it should be rare to have a high caliber rifle loaded with high caliber rounds off-safety and able to be misfired by a child/dog/freak accident.

And in the UK, that’s just pretty much too impossibly rare to be occurring. The likelihood is higher here, but god I wish it wasn’t

Have you ever shot at brick or stone? Yeah, the right caliber will go right through, but it’s not flying through with near the same velocity as through drywall, paint, and dreams , the stuff my walls are made of right now.

Live in the north where southerners flee to for jobs (still a shitty Red state) and the range is a regular for gun people. When I had friends that shoot, it was an every or every other weekend thing for the cheap shit, once month take out something nice to shoot that costs a little.

After reading through a lot of the comments:

Because he’s coming off oh so very condescending and espousing the SAME ‘level’ of opinion as everyone else but getting combative/rude sith his responses being called out for having the same objective merit.

You can have an opinion. BUT:

“Why don’t you like this?” “Because it’s a controller, duh” “But things can have extra little things in them” “It’s useless, it’s a controller. Lame of you to like it”

People here in Lemmy often seem to have this problem where they communicate EXACTLY over text how they might in real life, but not realize that 0% of their non-verbals are coming through and so if they don’t change the writing style it just comes off prick-ish and argumentative

I don’t know, i’ve NEVER seen a believable performance from Dwayne Johnson. But John Cena and Bautista have both really dug down and widened their range. The rock does the same movie, same shirt, same stupid Kevin Hart addition, constantly. The guy from The Run Down is the same as the guy from fast and furious is the same from gridiron gang.

From the comforts of my bed chambers, a reflecting mirror shows me my favorite performances on demand, and when I tire of them I may seek almost the entirety of mankind’s knowledge via my personal looking glass and converse with other like-minded sorcerers across the world on any such matter we choose.

Truly, no king has lived so well

Statistics disagree with this. Some are listing ‘porn seeking’ where they include erotica and non-video content as high as 44%, others that are looking at video only are showing 11-15% or so. I’d have to go looking again, but that’s still not a small number of users, much more than 1%.
