It's a centralized economy with a black market. Ultimately all communities intermingle, and every village has weekly meetings for self criticism.

Then you're ok with the amount of firearm related homocides, or have a better solution to reduce the number of firearm related crimes? I'm not being sarcastic, it seems like you're up for a sincere discussion.

Reply to TIL that Ben S. Cauley, Jr. was the sole survivor of the plane crash that killed singer Otis Redding & 6 other people in 1967. Cauley took off his seat belt shortly before the crash. He managed to cling to a seat cushion for 20 minutes, until a rescue boat pulled him from the freezing lake waters. by Paiger__
Does that mean most survived the impact but then drowned?

Reply to comment by The_Presitator in TIL Poltergeist, which came out in 1982, was rated PG. This is despite not just the movie fitting perfectly into the horror genre, but also many adult themes including the smoking of marijuana and a deep dive into the occult. by duganaok
There used to be a time when "parental guidance" meant something.

In Canada greater Montréal has a population of 1.5 million and had 19 firearm related homicides. This is one of the worst years in the last 10.
Philadelphia is an American city of about 1.5 million. Had 512 homocides in 2022 but I can't accurately ascertain how many were from guns.
I can say for 2023 there have been 51 firearm related homocides in 2023 as of Feb 23 in Philly.
It's hard to kill people without easy access to guns, and Canada's primary source of firearms used for murder are from South of the border, because legal gun owners get a background check done every 24 hours and if anything comes up they lose their guns. You don't have a permit? Jail. You have a permit but you didn't follpw your ascribed route to your registered range and your pistol is locked in its box in your trunk? Jail. Personal sale? Complicated.

No. The initial event to cause the hype is greater than the energy produced by the hypeman. The secret to the hypeman's power is that they unlock the potential of the catalyst in a way the progenitor can't. If they could, they would not require a hypeman.

Because hypeman is selfless. Group sex requires ego. Hypeman only has the ego of their partner and is the antithesis of submission.

>No real pain or passion tied into it
Kind of sick that a project around awareness can be disregarded because the audience can't enjoy a painful connection between the artist and their work. That sentiment is in the same vein as the enjoyment of blood sports.
