Happy to see some good replies here. Yes, it would mean that we’d need to hold car makes responsible for DUIs, Cutco responsible for knife attacks, even baseball bat manufacturers for violent attacks done with baseball bats.

It could also hold companies responsible even if they aren’t actively manufacturing the dangerous item anymore; for example, let’s say that Smith & Wesson stops manufacturing guns. Their guns will still be out in the hands of folks, and they will still be held accountable for the violence.

Edit: To respond to this:

Guns were made, by design, to be effective and efficient at the ending of human lives. Using the firearms in the way they were designed to be used is the primary difference for me

At a very basic level, guns are designed to, I would argue, send a bullet somewhere. If the gun reliably fails to do so (i.e. it jams constantly), or inappropriately deploys the bullet (i.e. it explodes in your face, shoots backwards at the shooter, or is wildly inaccurate), then I could see why the manufacturer could be held responsible, since the product isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do.

Literally this. I’ve never used it, but it sounds like what the OP is looking for.

Americans seem to support slavery. Why do Republicans keep trying to block it anyway?

To a certain degree, yes; either burp more, or eat food that is easier to digest.

If you’re avoiding fast food, pears, beans etc. and you’re still coming across this issue, you may want to check with your doctor and see if you have any digestive issues

Count yourself blessed, all the drama that I know of has been maybe not caused but perpetuated by holding grudges

People love conspiracy theories though, both on the fringes of the political spectrum as well as the mainstream. If may be that what you’re seeing is a rise in conspiracy theories that you’re not familiar with or agree with, or that you’re stepping outside of your comfort zone on the internet.

That’s an awful reason to want dyslexic unfriendly fonts. I figured it was because dyslexic fonts are hard to read if you’re not dyslexic, I’m not dyslexic so I hate those fonts with a passion, especially when you’re not given a choice as to whether or not they’re used like when Twitter briefly used a dyslexic font on the whole site. That was a nightmare!

Huh? People always loved and hated him, I just think that with buying Twitter, both sides got way louder, and so we notice them more.

I have! ✋🏾

Not quite sure yet. I just joined Kbin, but am having trouble getting a handle on how to get my content viewable on other Fediverse instances (although remote content seems to load here just fine)
