This is why I hate talking about guns online lmao. "oh you want to look at the big picture? You must be a republican gun fucker"
Shut up
Dude you were too scared to even say gun which is why your post was so awkward and why I even responded.
Scared to say gun? I was using the language, "means," because the rest of the comments were using that, and I literally referred to a gun as a societal failure.
It's a top level post so it isn't based on the "other posts". Trying to use different words and phrases for gun made for a very weird sounding post that made it sound like you were trying to avoid using the word for no reason. 🤷
I was specifically referring to the comments where they posted the article called "means matter."
I figured me referencing other comments at the very beginning of mine would make that obvious but I guess not
There's this thing called a reply button. Nevermind, I see you've found it.
Out of context (which it is, as a top level post) your post reads like a strange attempt to not say "gun" and that's why I added the sarcastic remark in response which appears to have rustled your jimmies so much that here we are still exchanging posts for some reason.
You're right. I should copy and paste the same reply to all twenty comments talking about means.
Yes, you're right, you annoyed me enough to argue. Good job, here's your cookie
🍪🫢 thanks, tastes great!
Thank you, I made it myself. I used double chocolate chip.
Fuck, now I actually want a cookie.
