Thanks pede! Taught me something.
I have analyzed and have nothing that I disagree with in your account. Accept my upvote. I will also be essentially removing myself from society while simultaneously wasting enormous amounts of time attempting to minimize my tax liability to the lowest legal levels.
Folks love to cite that homosexuals have lower than nominal rates of domestic violence and it is true... for gays. For lesbians it is WAAAAY higher, so either lesbianism is a mental illness predisposing someone to violence or domestic violence has a uniquely female component.
On the flipside of romanticizing, maybe the State should just say "you're released but we've determined your life is of no value to society and therefore there are no penalties involved should anyone choose to end your life".
Solving the issues of state funded incarceration and the death penalty all at once!
I am neither for nor against the death penalty. It just annoys me that people are on it for years, consuming public funds. They should get a single year to essentially say their goodbyes from behind bars.
White Males only.
You're exactly right. Apolitical people I know came out in droves to support Trump because this was a battle between good and evil, China and the USA, BLM/Antifa and orderly society. Their efforts weren't enough.
Now's the time to slink into the shadows to avoid taking the brunt of what's coming. By the left's standards: we don't deserve to have a voice, next its (or already has been) a job, then we don't deserve access to public utilities or to eat.... then ultimately we don't deserve to exist. We're the lepers, to be cast out; the one thing they surely will want in the future going forward is for us to pay taxes.
They have control of the State, we'll never have control again - they'll pack the courts, they'll make PR and DC into states, they'll delete the electoral college amongst many other things. It's over.
Now that's creepy. I thought it sounded suspiciously not like an AR15 but I also haven't been around one with a bumpstock...
You've sold me, pede.
I despise some engineers as well. Most of them don't know jack shit and think because they 'understand' Code they know everything there is to know. Me: "you should try turning a wrench sometime"
I try to write my specifications to be as simple as possible for installation. If something doesn't have a specific requirement (Code or other technical reasons), I don't mention it. I don't think I have put "field variety" on a single design as that seems incredibly lazy; "field-route", sure, but "field-variety" basically means craft/electricians/mechanics are basically responsible for the "design"... why was an engineer even needed then?
As someone who's "gone to college", with a master's in engineering, I have to say: I find "educated" people to be some of the dumbest MFers out there. One of the best stories was my FAR-left PhD-endowed tenant (who's the same age) asking me to inflate his car tires because he didn't understand how to do it. Not long after that he had the gall to express distain for my support of DJT and conservative principles (which as my tenant-neighbor, he could see) and how much he paid in rent (which was fair per the market)... he's no longer my tenant and his security deposit wasn't returned (for valid, legal reasons related to our contract, if you were curious).
I'd much rather be someone who knows shit about the world and how things work than someone who is simply endowed with an acronym and has to pay others to help them.
"You have the right to be wrong."
Assuming we can ever win an election again (which I doubt), will they claim "Russian Interference" if Russian servers host Parler?
Pre-covid, some folks would ride their motorcycles with a bandana over their face to keep the bugs off.
No one believes me but when I was younger and more flexible, I actually could get my mouth on my own tip. Remarkably unremarkable feeling.
Trump looked much better than I do in my 30s.
Also, I wasn't aware Huffy made anything more than kids bikes.
They put up a profile photo of a blacked out circle/square 6 months ago in support of the riots. I'm now going to put up a photo of Trump. Maybe FB will ban me for apparently supporting riots and save me the clicks.
Absolutely Pede. I don't mind being silenced all that much - hell, I purged my social media like 2 days ago anyway - I have plenty of friends and family who do listen to me and I don't need FB to communicate with them. The line for me is when they come for the guns. I wont have of it. No one I love will. That will be where the left has gone too far and it will be their end.
Ashli Babbit's death touched me. Probably more than any single event in this movement. I wish I'd have known her; we're the same age, similar career paths and libertarians, we'd have been friends for sure. Her handle I will never forget: "CommonAshSense". For Ashli.
Honestly, I think "Orange Man Bad" might actually be an acceptable reason as opposed to the flimsy and reaching reasons they cited. Weird, too, if you switched around the proper nouns a little bit, it could sound like they were describing what the left did in 2016 and 2017 when Trump won.
I was honestly demoralized after the events of the 6th. Then, as you pointed out, the censorship activities made me think "this is not going to end well for them, definitely hope they continue and escalate".
They'd better watch themselves, everyone I know who has a CB radio also has guns. While those devices can be jammed, they're not going to like what happens when the jam is freed...
Sad that I already knew the highlights. Lol. How pathetic. I always figured soyboy Trudeau was DONE when the blackface incident came up. Never underestimate the idiocacy of the left. Thanks Pede.
Hasn't Canada sort of already fallen? I mean, I'd say that they're ahead of our decline. Genuine question as I'm not terribly familiar with Canadian politics outside of what I hear from AvE and Stefan Molyneux.
I'm wondering when they'll boycott truckers and the goods they deliver.
Lol. I normally drive everywhere anyway. Barring 1000 mile+ flights, it is sometimes a better use of my time to just drive. Then there's the tax deduction for mileage, too.
My GF did something similar. She registered as a Dem and they sent her no less than 6 unsolicited applications for an absentee ballot. I received one as a Libertarian (after JoJo's statements about BLM, I am now a member of the Patriot party).
