Hey everyone, my name is Richard K Niner, or RK for short.
I'm a doggo from Toronto who likes to fursuit, draw, and occasionally snap photos or watch sports, though I know better than to bore most of you with that last one.
guns, regulation
@rkniner sometimes I wonder how effective it would be stateside to regulate murder machines the same way we regulate cars:
i.e. driver's/shooter's license, mandatory car/weapon registration & insurance, etc
Of course, even if these could be done in a way that makes them effective, I have no faith in the US doing so.

@rkniner it's a sign the problem has been going on a while and getting worse when a mainstream national news site in a neighbouring allied country puts this on the top of their homepage

@rkniner Yes, I know impeachment exists, but when it's easier to install a new justice than remove an old one…
Ontario politics, voting
*checks* And yes, of course 3 of the 4 advance polling locations are on the richer side of the riding (and within walking distance of each other)
Ontario politics, voting
Is it just me, or do they keep moving the advance polling stations further and further away every election? #onpoli
From a school 800m away, to a community centre 2 km away, to a library 3 km away, to a community centre 3.5 km away, to my choice of community centres 4-7 km away
covid conspiracy thoughts
It always seemed weird how right-wingers seemed to embrace this idea that the pandemic was faked just to force everyone to put on masks, particularly when politicians have spent years trying to make them illegal in as many places as they could.
If anything, you'd think they would do the exact opposite. It's probably why, now that vaccines are available, they're trying to downplay & hide the pandemic, while lifting and (in some cases) banning mask mandates.
covid, masking, furry con mention
Looking at the fallout from all the FWA stuff today, and trying to figure out who's complaining about dropping the mask requirement last night vs re-enacting it this afternoon (although not really phrased to sound like a requirement)
Doesn't affect me since I'm not going, but you can tell having everything change quickly makes it hard to get the message out.
