odeon's ask away-thread

[Pyraxis]

Yeah, I'm still having that happen, just trying to ignore it and click through the dialog, but it really doesn't seem like there's anything else that could be done about it server-side.

[odeon]

And you haven't tested with a different computer? An iPad or smartphone would work, too.

[Pyraxis]

Ok, I'm posting this from WolFish's computer....

Edit: Didn't get the popup. I'll take this back to the other thread.

Why can't Al respond to his own ask away thread?

[odeon]

He is sinbinned. He should be able to post in the sinbin but that's about it.

Hey, are you working the film festival this year?

[odeon]

Hey, are you working the film festival this year?

No, I decided it was enough.

[renaeden]

Yeah, it only caused you stress iirc.

[odeon]

Yeah, it only caused you stress iirc.

A couple of years ago when we still ran actual film prints rather than today's binary messes on USB disks, the festival could occasionally be fun.

Will your children have to join the army, now Sweden changed back to compulsory conscription?

Will your children have to join the army, now Sweden changed back to compulsory conscription?

Probably not. My son would definitely be exempted because of his autism dx. My daughter doesn't want to, and from what I've heard they won't be able to draft everyone anyway so there is a good chance that she doesn't have to.

[renaeden]

Which language do you speak at home? Finnish or Swedish?

[odeon]

Swedish. I speak Finnish rarely these days. With my brother on the phone, usually.

You'll be encouraged to know that The PR can buy a gun now.  I can't wait to see how a mentally challenged adult with anger management issues, depression and suicidal urges is going to manage.

can buy a gun now

The correct perspective is, still can own a gun. The federal register rule referenced was an executive order finalized in the last month of Obama's term, and both branches of congress approved to send it to Trump for review. Compliance was to begin December 2018 so the rule was rescinded before ever being enforced. The ACLU apposes the rule for stereotyping people on disability as violent when there's no supporting data to base assumptions they are; in fact data shows the opposite to be true and disabled people are more likely to be victims of violence. The rule directly targeted mentally disabled people who require legal guardianship, so would have to assume the guardian is the responsible and accountable party, similar to circumstances of minors using/owning guns.
