Missouri House votes against limits on kids carrying guns
  • Rep. Tony Lovasco, a Republican from the St. Louis suburb of O’Fallon. “Generally speaking, we don’t charge people with crimes because we think they’re going to hurt someone.”

    Too much to unpack here.

  • Microsoft keeps shooting itself in the foot with Edge
  • I've been a MS products fan since Windows Phone, Cortana, and OneNote stole my heart. I loved the great features that Windows 10 and Edge provided out-of-the box. Bing provided better results than Google for some time.

    But Phone was never accepted by the market, and with it, Cortana faded away. OneNote hasn't kept up with the market, and they somehow broke the cursor on mobile. Sticky Notes lost compatibility with Dark Mode. They started pushing ads to Windows start menu, and embedded ads in Edge Collections.

    Microsoft makes great software, then fuck it all up. Oh well, back to Linux.

  • My [40m] situationship with a coworker [35f] is heating up but also giving me mixed signals
  • Maybe she's scared. Maybe she's hesitant. Maybe she was in a really bad relationship. Maybe it's health problems. Maybe she's not interested after all. No way to know what's going on in her head, even if you ask. If I were in your shoes I'd say, "hey. I'm feeling mixed signals because of xyz. I'd still like to do this but if you don't want to, that's okay too. If it's only that you're not ready, just let me know when you are."

  • How do you guys cope with the fact that the world isn't getting any better?
  • I'm not in a position to affect change in a powerful way. So I try to stay educated and informed, I vote at the ballot box, I vote with my wallet, I donate what I reasonably can to places where I think it will help, and I speak out when it's appropriate to do so.

    California law banning guns in certain public places temporarily halted by judge
  • Like I said your original request (statistics of "legal" CCW permit holder, without premeditation, discharging a firearm, in California) is incredibly specific, making it very difficult to find quality research. But here's what I was able to find for you:

    Johns Hopkins has this: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/study-finds-significant-increase-in-firearm-assaults-in-states-that-relaxed-conceal-carry-permit-restrictions

    This one includes some good details as to why these studies are challenging, and what causes errors in the data: https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/concealed-carry/violent-crime.html

    Here's a summary from GVPedia (note the sources in the footnotes): https://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/GVPedia-Permitless-Carry-Factsheet-Feb2022.pdf

    Hopes this helps.

    Communities list via mobile app

    Anyone know if there is a way to view the list of communities (both subscribed and not) on ttrpg.network from one of the mobile apps (ie. mlem or memmy)? On the website I know I can just click "Communities" at the top, but I don't see anything similar on the mobile apps.

    The following is a post from r/DMAcademy. I really enjoyed this story and hope to do something similar someday. With recent turmoil on Reddit, I’m posting it here for posterity (or as long as substack lasts, anyway). Enjoy! Buckle up, because I'm telling the story behind this one.

    Nothing Happens.
