And yet, doesn't everyone have the rights to the fruit of their own labor?

It was a long argument about symbolism, and why Satan was the symbol that was used. My mom in particular had a hard time wrapping her head around the idea that god was actually the asshole of the bible, and that Satan acted in a largely humanist way. She also had a hard time accepting that Satan was purely symbolic, because she sees an adversarial figure as real.

Even if it's not causing brain injuries, it is causing hearing loss. Even if you double up and wear both earplugs and electronic ear muffs, a rifle at an indoor range is LOUD.

BTW, having silencers on everything would go a very long way to eliminating these risks. Silencers slow down the expansion of gasses, which also slows down the pressure wave.

I WILL get to see them live some day. I missed my chance earlier this year in Montreal, and everything in Quebec is sold out through next year.

Not to be a kill-joy, but do as much shit like this as you can now, before it's too late. Climate change is going to kill all of that.

I came out to my parents as a Satanist, oh, about a decade ago? They're conservative Christians, and I was sick of them constantly proselytizing to me. They've finally mostly quit.

I film USPSA matches in POV and post it on OnlyFans. Definitely not nude tho.

That's... Not really true.

The gov't supplies ammunition, yes. But you can also quite legally buy your own ammunition. And you can take your military rifle to a range to practice.

...I would not buy a super sport as a first bike. Or a naked sport, for that matter.

Ha. I listen to a lot of prog and jazz. Noise cancelling headphones, and sound isolating in-ear monitors are absolutely critical. Despite that, I've listened to music at high enough volume--including at concerts--that i've got slight tinnitus now.

In the US, it's a bit worse than that. They can demand you unlock your phone, and, if you won't, they can confiscate it to mirror it. Also, it's--very broadly speaking--within 100 miles of any international border, and an international airport counts as an international border.
