minus-square@famousringolinkEnglish73•9 months agoUsing something I’ve built to destroy warships before they can launch cruise missiles at an apartment block? Now I am become death, saviour of civilian power grids.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-26•9 months agoYeah, because only the Good Guy Military uses it and they would never do anything bad 🙄
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink12•9 months agoThat’s an argument as old as time though If only they hadn’t invented kitchen knives there wouldn’t be so many stabbings
