Not once in my enlistment, such as it was, did I question what was in the pants of fellow service members.

Nor did I question their capabilities when they were needed.

Because I'm not an insecure idiot with the maturity of a child.

Not programming, but in the same vein, A Trek Bicycle store manager asked me in an interview if I would be willing to work a trial shift the next day building bicycles. Unpaid, of course. Just to see if I was a good fit.

Of course, since I was used to building 50 a day, I would have gotten all of them done in a single shift whereas they were needing to call in stores from surrounding areas to come help in a few days.

I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.

Oddly, I did not get the job

See, he ASSUMES there's "no way to win" and that this judge will always, regardless of anything else, strike down things because they're "against republicans/trump/whoever"

Why?

Because that's exactly what they would do, are doing, plan to do in the future, and can't imagine a world where someone else isn't just as shitty as they are.

Projection. Insecurity.

I mean, there's no way to win, but that's because this is one of those things that can't be ignored and absolutely should result in consequences. I'm not hopeful that real consequences will be had though.

Fellas, is it gay to have empathy, show genuine emotion, and actually care about another being other than yourself?

You mean the convicted felon Rapist manchild known for acting like a child is..... Acting like a child?

I'm so glad 25% of the population got to destroy the country because they can't handle LGBT people and immigrants existing.

No hard feelings if you want to build a wall around the US, Republicans here seem to think those are foolproof.

When the bird opens its beak to grab you, cram the cinnamon stick in as hard as you can and run away.

While it's coughing up cinammon, you can quickly grab a No Hunting sign and plop it down. This way the bird knows it can't hunt for food in this area and will have to move on.

IMPORTANT PROTIP

Side-arm molotovs, don't throw them over your back like you would a baseball.

Unless you know exactly how to make a watertight molotov, there's the possibility that you drip burning fluid onto yourself if you throw it up and over your body.

By throwing side-arm (around and out to the side, almost like a Frisbee) you fling any liquid away from you.

It's also a good idea to make sure nobody is standing to your side that you could potentially douse in flames.

Happy tossing, and remember to only use this knowledge for educational purposes!

The moral high road is littered with corpses, and it looks like we're bound and determined to add more to the pile.

Funny, because not too long ago I saw a bunch of HBs and MLs going on about how "the libs can't go more than one comment chain without wishing death and torture on anyone not voting like them"

Now who else do I know of where every accusation is a confession... Or projection, if you will.

Seems like a lot of them like to Gaslight, Obstruct AND Project.

I know fully grown adults who think the constitution has never been altered, the ammendments were always there and "just what the founding fathers worked on after signing it and sending it to king George", and that any talk about congress changing things after the fact is just 'liberal propaganda" and at least one person, when asked why they think that, responded with "well I've never seen an Ammendment happen in my lifetime so obviously it doesn't happen."

Several of these adults are related, so I can see why multiple people in the same family might hold that belief, but the fact that I know MORE THAN ONE is insane to me.

I went to school in a non-religious school that was very much a religious area. Sex Ed was basically the scene in Mean Girls "If you have Sex you WILL GET PREGNANT and DIE"

They quite clearly told the world what the other way was on January 6th, 2021.

But instead of learning from history, and taking care of the problem with harsh sentences representative of the crime that was committed, we went ahead and put on the fluffy kid gloves.

And nobody cares about the grumbling in the background about bullshit sentences. They'll use the same tired excuse of "we don't want to appear biased" or "we don't want to start more violence"

And the mere fact that they're too scared to punish people over fear of retribution just goes to show that domestic terrorism works! Yay! Something something we live in a society I guess.
