That’s the way to think Pie. As Conan told the chieftain when prompted about the meaning of life, it is “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women”. Besides people should fight using prison rules. When you win you sell the loser off for a pack of smokes and some candy bars or pruno. I suspect we would have far less random war. or maybe more. Who knows.
Ok thought the EU ussured in a new age of peace. Why are they arming themselves? No one needs weapons, these continental only ever happen in Europe.
It’s for the coming EU

A sounder is a herd of feral hogs primarily comprised of one or more adult sows and one or multiple generations of offspring. A sounder is the primary social unit among feral hogs
I had heard of Seattle Sounders FC but did not know where they get their name
I thought it was from Pugett Sound.
It was/is.
“Sound” comes from the Norse “sund”: a gap.
Also as an European I appreciate the F in FC

Soccer is the proper term. Otherwise, how do we know you aren’t talking about Rugby?
Soccer was the british short hand for association football, to distinguish from rugby football.

Kind of odd to use the “soc” from “association”, but I guess they thought it better than calling it “assball”.

DA! IS CORRECT.
Nay to Nato!
Agreed. Just funny to me. They join NATO and don’t have the decency to fulfill the primary obligation of purchasing weapons from American manufacturers.
the primary obligation of purchasing weapons from American manufacturers.
That is of course the true purpose for the continued existence of NATO.
*golf clap*
Disagree.
The original purpose of NATO was “to keep the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down” in the face of an existential threat from the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact and fear of German resurgence after WWII. This no longer applies, and the Europeans are perfectly capable of seeing to their own defense.
Europeans are perfectly capable of seeing to their own defense. – again, disagree
Europeans are perfect capable of failing to defend their own self and us not giving a damn.
Is that better?
Is that better? – not really from my point of view
You’re not paying us enough.
Look, the US is the only 1st world country where it is legal for its citizens to be mercenaries. Just hire a mercenary army, and we’ll defend you.
Of course Europeans are perfectly capable of seeing to their own defense, they just won’t spend the money and effort to do so as long as they can rely on Uncle Sugar.

while they might have a hard time dealing with protesting immigrants I am pretty sure that Europe can protect itself from Russia because I’m not sure that Russia could successfully invade and take over Syria right now.

August 6- why does that date seem special?
Ask the people of Hiroshima?
At the start of one of my last years at college, the university issued paper planner/calendar things that had random historical events on some of the days. Flipping through it, and completely not in the mindset to be thinking about it, I passed August 9’s entry – “Fat Man Destroys Nagasaki”. Phrased just like that, with no more context.
He was really, really hungry.
Yup
They ran out of chanko nabe.
Jazz hands for the sumo reference, but it’s Nagasaki champon. Only reason I know this is because the music they play is a Queen knockoff. We are the Champon. Don’t narrow gaze me bro. It really is their music.

When I was in jail, they kept us locked down in our cells most of the time and boredom was the biggest problem. I finally got my hands on the only book I could barter for and immediately read it cover to cover…a lesbian vampire short story collection.
I wanted to take reading material to the county jail in TX, a friend taught reading to the prisoners. Anyway the horsepower said fine but no porn, no Am Rifleman/gun magazines/no true detective type. I took a lot of Nat Geos (newer Geos specialize in penguins, etc, not in African tribal women anymore) and travel stuff there. All were appreciative.
A country where rampant drug armies leave headless corpses dangling from bridges like ghastly piñatas is hopping up on its moral high horse and “going to take legal action” over the El Paso Wally World shooting.

OT – I have a dumb question for those of you who are lawyers. If I were to sign a contract but my signature, very legibly, was something like, say, ‘Porky Pig,’ is it still legally binding?
After all, I could point to it and say, “That’s not my name. I don’t know who signed this.”
Is this a thing, or is this a really stupid question, and I should feel bad just for asking it?
TOTALITY OF CIRCUMSTANCE, BRAH!
This is the kind of thing that trips up law students all the time. As the giant stone deity alluded to, it depends on the situation. There are a few factors that come into play like duress and good faith and performance of the contract.
Short answer: yes, it’s legally binding.
Slightly longer answer: you could still point to it and say you don’t know who signed it, but it wasn’t you, even if it was your name.
Nor are names unique. Strictly speaking, it’s not the signature that makes the contract legally binding, the signature is
just evidence that you intended to enter into the contract written down. A longer discussion would involve statutes of fraud,
uniform commercial code, and other statues overriding the common law principles.
Probably not a good idea. If your intent is to get the benefit of the bargain while having a way out of the agreement if things go badly, then you likely would be held to the agreement. A contract forms when you have a meeting of the minds, and deliberately trying to fool the other party into thinking you have agreed is likely enough to constitute agreement. Also, “That’s not my name” is fine. “I don’t know who signed this.” when you signed it, would not be.
If you are the named party, like when it has your name printed, it doesn’t really matter. Remember in pre-literate Anglo-American law, people often “made their mark” rather than signed their names. As long as you are the named party and endorsed it with some mark, you’re kinda bound. Think about credit card signing. Nobody cares what you write there. If you contest a charge, “that’s not my signature” will be the very last thing they look at.
NYT changes their next day headline.

It’s kinda of stupid to read and think the NYT is ‘objective’ journalism. The owner himself admitted years ago something to the effect of ‘I’m liberal and of course my paper is going to reflect that’.
But it’s often cited it as if it’s some sort of stone of ‘tegrity’.
The purpose of the NYT is to confirm the world view of the sort of people who read the NYT.

Y’all ready for the AR pistol ban?
https://www.wsj.com/articledayton-shooter-used-ar-15-pistol-smaller-version-of-popular-rifle-11565045046
404’d
The link is busted but I’ve long assumed that those “arm-braces” are going to be banned. Never really understood the arbitrary limit on barrel length.
And it wouldn’t even matter if he didn’t use an arm brace (no info on exactly what he did use) – they would see this as the opportunity and say how much worse it would have been had he used one. They don’t need logic and don’t really seem to know how to use it anyway. They just want enough emotion flowing to do as much damage as they can.
That’s what gives it away – they push for restrictions that are completely unrelated to whatever shooting just happened. Hell, they were trying to use Sandy Hook as an excuse to further restrict concealed carry licenses.
AR pistols are in a weird category as it is, I’m not sure how they’ll be able to craft a law that’s precise enough to keep people from building guns that get around the language. I have a buddy who made a…firearm…that doesn’t actually fit a category. It doesn’t even fit the “any other weapon” definition. He explained why that’s technically so but I don’t recall the reason. Essentially, it’s an AR-15 lower and it looks like you’d call it an SBR, but I believe it doesn’t have a buttstock, but it isn’t a pistol because of the barrel length, etc.
If they knew anything about guns, they might ban gas-operated pistols. Owners of Desert Eagles would be mad.
My pessimistic prediction is that we’ll wind up with a regime where you have to get a federally-issued license to own anything other than a break-action shotgun or bolt-action rifle. They’ll get around the “shall not be infringed” bit by saying that anyone can get it assuming they don’t have a felony, they just have to pay a minor administrative fee, get fingerprinted, and take a safety course. No big whoop, right? Maryland does this with pistols now. It’s called an HQL (handgun qualification license, I believe) and fucking Hogan hasn’t had the balls to get rid of it since he’s been in office. It’s one of the stupider Maryland gun laws.
Word is he illegally modified the gun with a shorter barrel.

You’re Johnny Cash?
Oh back…
Not me! I’m leaping head-long through a plate glass window!
Now do Obama.
If that’s what people are really thinking we are in trouble.
We aren’t in 1930s Germany. I’m sorry.
I really believe that people deep down know that nothing is going to happen to them if they criticize the President so it’s a sign of how cool and sophisticated they are to come out and talk about how he’s a racist and so forth. Because mean tweets.
Personally I don’t give a damn if someone is a racist. I’d gladly live right next to the biggest racist in the world as long as he leaves me, my family, and my friends alone. I don’t believe Trump to be a racist, but honestly it doesn’t matter very much to me if he is. And no, I don’t believe this “he’s giving a pass to white supremacy” arglebargle either.
There are more stamp collectors in the United States than there are genuine white supremacists. I’m sorry, they aren’t a threat.
You have all of the Democrat Party and a good chunk of the Republican Party talking about how terrible Trump is. You have every major media outlet except Fox talking shit on him nonstop, and even outright collusion with the DNC to slant coverage in favor of his opponent. You have Google manipulating search results to make him look bad.
Yea, I’m pretty sick of hearing people described as “brave” for saying bad things about Trump. It’s the most mainstream fucking opinion in the world.
Wonkette still exists? Huh.
Just trying to help
Obama on Monday afternoon lamented the violence that transpired Saturday morning in El Paso, Texas, and early Sunday morning in Dayton, Ohio, which left at least 31 people dead and injured dozens more.
In his statement, Obama called on Americans to “soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiments.” The former president did not mention Trump, or any other politician, by name.
Thanks, Barry.
Yeah… I had the neighbors over for a drink last night and they were talking about Obama’s “message”.
I said (paraphrasing): is he asking for more money for his library?
And that Fast and Furious cunt Eric Holder of all people chimed the fuck in:
Enough-time for real action. Pass a domestic terrorism bill. Ban assault weapons, high capacity magazines, body armor, silencers. Pass universal background checks, end loopholes: gunshow and Charleston. Pass red flag laws. We can reduce the carnage if pols have the guts to act
These two egotistical maniacs don’t understand the concept of ‘you had your kick at the can so have the decency to shut the fuck up’ do they?
Yah – they had the house, the senate, and the presidency but yet did nothing (that I can remember) about gun control.
Obama was certainly one of the best arms salesman though.
Pass red flag laws. We can reduce the carnage if pols have the guts to act
Carnage at the hands of the state is still carnage. Based on their history so far, “red flag” laws will kill more people than they save.
Red Flag laws are guilty until proven innocent, seizure of property without compensation, and a denial of the right to face your accusers (in the places that permit anonymous reporting). That is even before you get to the infringement of the right to keep and bear arms.
Yes, and some chapters of the ACLU have opposed them on those grounds. Unfortunately, because the organization as a whole is anti-2A, they tend to be easily wooed by the introduction of mostly meaningless “protections”.
Yeah, but that sort of killing is good, because it is killing the right (well, wrong) kind of people!
It amazes me sometimes that we can’t ask people for ID to vote because it’s somehow racist, and removing those who have died or moved out of the jurisdiction from the voting rolls is disenfranchisement, but stripping people of their rights without them having committed any crime, never mind enjoyed due process, with potentially lethal consequences, is a-okay.
Let’s do red flags for voting rights, too.
And abortion rights as well.
Welp, I waited 48 hours and all I can figure out is that one shooter was a raging racist and the other was a leftist freak. So we’re just gonna pretend the Dayton shooting was committed by the El Paso shooter?
He clearly escaped custody, got halfway across the country and committed another shooting.
They are basically doing that by lumping the total number of deaths into one number of killed last weekend and only focusing on the El Paso shooter’s background.
Passive Aggressive Preezy.

25% of Americans are disabled. So why aren’t the Democratic candidates talking about it?
https://qz.com/1679748/disability-issues-are-absent-from-the-democratic-debate/
is 25% really an accurate number? seems high to me
It’s absolute bullshit.
Unless you torture the definition of “Disabled” to include as many people as possible.
I think they’re being loose with term and applying it to all people who have conditions that might (but might not depending on a number of factors) qualify for disability.
I have a very harsh definition of disabled which is “Physically and mentally unable to do anything productive.” It is the bottom of the range from baseline, through Handicapped and Crippled, which are limitations not completely preventing productive employment.
My definition is not the legal standard, but even if we take the legal standard, we are nowhere near 25%.
I believe people with unwaxed balls are a new category of disabled. I may have misread whatever internet story told me that.
My Brother makes more on disability than he would being gainfully employed. He sits in his shitty little hovel noodling on his guitars and smoking weed. Never had a driver’s licence, never had a spouse just a drug habit that earned him some Hep C and a fat bankroll from Uncle Sugar.
I’m so glad my exorbitant taxes are supporting that kind of shit.
I would say the rule of thumb should be if you have enough money to buy guns you are not paying enough taxes
You sound like you’re from the government, you’re here to “help”.
I am, and Pie is wrong. It actually goes – If you have money to spend, clearly you can afford to pay more taxes, and if you live frugally, clearly you have funds stashed away that can be surrendered to your betters.
UCS knows how to manage tax cattle!
People respond to incentives. Different people see incentives differently.
“Unless you torture the definition of “Disabled” to include as many people as possible.”
is it still tortured if your definition is massaged to allow people that want free shit and don’t want to work for it? Cause a lot of people sucking at the government’s teat seem to suffer from a serious case of disability when it comes to any kind of work ethic.
Unless you torture the definition of “Disabled” to include as many people as possible.
How the hell do you think Bill Clinton managed to ‘end’ welfare? The feds just moved all the general support recipients onto the disability rolls. Obesity is a disability, alcoholism, depression, anxiety, etc. The ADA is up there with The Patriot Act and Obamacare as a nail in the coffin of liberty.
Ja – old high school friend of mine suffers from migraines and anxiety. He gets disability benefits. Sits around his condo, which his parents own, and listens to his expensive stereo, watches TV, and runs errands for his folks. It sounds like prison to me.
^^^^ fuck zombie HW with rusty burning chainsaw
Local parasites are ripping up perfectly good sidewalks and making them more dangerous in the name of ADA compliance thanks to legal threats of some jackass disability activists.
It’s almost certainly an extrapolation from the same sort of “study” that manufactured the campus rape epidemic. Ask people a bunch of vague and leading questions, create an expansive definition, and voila every fourth person you meet is “disabled”.
There seem to be a lot of cases where someone is “disabled” because their morbid obesity has rendered them functionally immobile.
Obese. Bi-polar. PTSD. Depressed. etc etc
Everyone is disabled and needs a support animal.
I have RA. I have a touch of PTSD (seriously I am still having godawful nightmares) but I would rather crawl off in a ditch and die than get a HC sticker and take a parking space from some guy in a wheelchair or take money from the govt who would be all in my business. Fuck off and leave me alone.
I have a theory that every government program “works” for 1-2 generations before getting totally abused. The first generation to get Social Security checks treated them quite differently than people today do. Ditto handicapped privileges like parking spaces and automatic doors, ambulance chasers and other rent-seeking lawyers notwithstanding.
Tell me about it. A co-worker of mine had some surgery for a pinched nerve in his neck. He drove himself home from the surgery, and at no point was he physically impaired at all (save for maybe having to avoid Brazilian jiu-jitsu for a while).
He just asked the doctor if he could get a handicap tag, and the doctor was like “Yea, sure.” Boom – handicap parking for five years.
A friend of mine has had and still has absolutely crippling anxiety, which is ironic because he’s the most charismatic dude I’ve ever met, like best friends with everyone at the bar five minutes after he walks in type of guy. He probably could’ve landed some kind of disability check, but instead he went to therapy and started a moving company.
That’s how you handle such issues. Good on him.
on a related note I once had a friend who had “crippling anxiety”
Lived in a YMCA shelter, collected welfare, spent his meager amount of spending money on renting video games. I convinced him that he was a plenty smart enough guy (and he was) that he should at least go to college, since I knew him from hanging out at the college gaming club. So he gets grants and takes out loans to start going to school, then he decides to spend the loan money on a trip to Gen Con and drops out of school on the day of his first test because he couldn’t handle the test anxiety.
Telling him he was disabled didn’t help him, yeah it put money in his pocket but it destroyed him because from that minute on he had an excuse to never even try at anything in life and a government willing to see to his needs so he didn’t pay any real penalty for that.
During the big economic collapse in ’08, didn’t a shit ton of people all of a sudden get a “disability” once their unemployment bennies ran out? That way they could keep that money flowing.

Cloudflare is not a hosting provider. Their primary service is protection against DoS attacks.
They were Also kicked off their hosting provider. I didn’t mention the loss of cloudflare protection, because it was less important to them being back online.
Fair enough. All of the coverage has been focusing on Cloudflare dropping them, so I thought it might be a case of the news getting basic facts wrong.
I never really understood any of them reddit including. Then again before glibs I never really commented extensively anywhere… I mean now I kinda of sort of get a community forms or some shit …

Texas wants you to die
Ten new pro-gun laws will take effect in Texas in four weeks, less than a month after 22 people died in a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso.
Gov. Greg Abbott signed the measures after they were passed in a 2019 legislative session that the National Rifle Association, or NRA, called “highly successful” at the time, celebrating that the measures “will further loosen Texas’ permissive gun laws” and would send the “gun control crowd home empty-handed.”
Texas is home to almost 1.4 million holders of active firearm licenses, and five of the 20 deadliest mass shootings in the United States since 1900 have occurred in the state. Among them is the rampage in El Paso, where authorities said Monday that the number of deaths had risen to 22.
—–
The NRA did heavily influence the political process in Texas, however, lobbying for all 10 of the new bills, some of which will make it easier to store or carry guns in foster homes and on church and public school grounds:
Texas gets rid of stupid laws. NBC News wants you to freak out.
Texas had previously permitted approved foster parents to keep licensed firearms in their homes, but only if weapons and ammunition were stored in separate locked locations. The new law allows guns and ammunition to be stored together in the same locked location — a protocol that is discouraged by the pro-gun National Shooting Sports Foundation.
Uh huh. Why don’t they require the gun to be broken down, with the parts kept in locked containers in separate rooms? I’d be more concerned about “safe storage” if there were children around, but there aren’t, so I’m not.
a protocol that is discouraged by the pro-gun National Shooting Sports Foundation
Not knowing anything about this organization off the bat except its name, this isn’t exactly surprising. Shooting guns for fun is cool and all but a bit beside the point of the right to keep and bear arms. This reminds me a bit about the distinction between a libertarian and a libertine. The former supports a right out of principle, the latter out of hedonism. And a hedonist will protect his own fun at the expense of the rights of others.
Making it easier to carry firearms where there are large concentrations of people is an unalloyed good.
^This. People who you don’t want to carry firearms around large groups of people will do so regardless of the laws, so the last thing you want to do is disarm the law-abiding citizens that will potentially be the victims.
Like this?
https://www.conservativereview.com/news/shooting-packed-nightclub-canada-gun-control-already-way-stricter-u-s/
Now they’re pushing for a full handgun ban. Who could have seen that coming?
If you for a second believe this whole shitshow isn’t about using every tragedy caused by evil people as a means to disarming the law abiding citizens, then you have not been paying attention.
It’s funny that in the state of true and free men that they can never get to the simple prospect of freedom. I support all the revisions, but, as I’ve bitched many times before, real cowboys never needed all those details and exceptions to freedom in the first place and never had the church-lady urge to lord over their neighbors. So here is the latest batch of laws which, like most other batches, will seemingly conflict or at least confuse the hell out of some innocent, cop, and prosecutor as all other batches always have.
It’s just too hard to pass a law rescinding ALL the old stupid laws about status and posture and go back to minding your own business. The answer is, of course, de facto constitutional carry; the problem with Texas is that it should be front and center on this, lecturing and laughing at lesser states that don’t understand and must have twenty laws and seven forms and what if I see something say something bullshit. Instead, they’ve got this flesh-eating infection of laws that must be trimmed back, slowly, operation after operation, until the attack is staunched and the core can survive.
Principles are simple; most things that aren’t simple aren’t principled: no state needs 17 laws about guns.
Yeah but it’s not cowboys in the legislature. It never is. It’s the type of people who are attracted to the technical exercise of power for one reason or another who end up making the laws, and unfortunately most people who even bother to vote are either too stupid to understand who they’re voting for or are perfectly comfortable with the situation so long as they can get the state to make their neighbors do what they want them to do.
You’re telling me that the Lege is full of shit ?
math FWIW: In a recent year, rancher/ag was the fifth most prominent occupation of legislators.
“Texas is home to almost 1.4 million holders of active firearm licenses, and five of the 20 deadliest mass shootings in the United States since 1900 have occurred in the state.”
Any of those shooters have active firearm licenses? Any of them slip past background checks? Any connection between permissive laws, restrictive laws and crazy people going on mass murder sprees? Let’s ask Connecticut. Or we could just knock the living fuck out of this lying shitweasel Alex Johnson. You want more defenseless victims Alex? Let’s see how many kicks it take to make shit come out of your nose.
Tard Tuesday: Short and to the Point
Huh, upon reading that thread it strikes me that they’re the retarded version of us.
Like evil Spock but no beard?
Or maybe retarded Spock with neckbeard.
And adult diapers.
More like a dumber version of Bizarro.
Glue sniffers. I know it.
Great Zardoz skit!
Tard Tuesday: Making DU Seem Sane
That’s breathtakingly stupid. I have nothing.
I previously wrote A ramble that rebutted the premise.
I know I like to repeat myself, but it was a bit long.
How can you even construct a rebuttal to that? It’s impossible. It’s a dead-end. It’s saying the sky is black and only black.
Someone or something (s), somewhere, somehow failed these people.
Someone or something? Genetics?
Gotta love that implied Labor Theory of Value.
Woo hoo I am making a million bucks shining turds!
America has a housing segregation problem. Seattle may just have the solution.
“This is the largest effect I’ve ever seen in a social science intervention,”
There has to be a Bobby Bittman joke in there somewhere.
You will find your ‘high opportunity’ districts will empty of opportunities as the crime rate increases and people flee the jurisdiction.
The natural sorting of the population isn’t something to be “fixed”.
They just need to pass a law that makes it very difficult to move.
Lower the rent.
So, this just sounds like moving people into neighborhoods that they can’t actually afford on their own. Unless I’m missing something, this sort of thing generally doesn’t work out well in the long term.
Once you pass a certain threshold, the people whose neighborhood is becoming lower class will move out, and begin a precipitous decline. Then the cycle starts anew wherever they fled to because the meddlers can’t ever stop meddling.
There is a neighborhood in Norfolk, called Park Place, that was once one of the richest areas of the city. Decades ago, the government began subsidizing housing there and nearby. Lo and behold, the residents fled to Va Beach. Now Park Place is a dangerous, run down ghetto filled with drugs and gang activity. It’s become one step above public housing.
Recently Old Dominion University has started buying up land there to expand since it’s so cheap. Students have buying houses for the same reason. I guess it’s slowly gentrifying, but there have been a lot of home invasions and armed robberies in the meantime. A friend of mine lost his 2 pitbulls from poisoned meat thrown over the fence while living there (prep for a robbery).
Pols love to export people from the crime-ridden areas to non-crime-ridden areas just knowing in their hearts that they will change their culture without any other prompting.
It’s great really, the ghetto dwellers get a subsidized way out, the recipient neighborhoods don’t dare say a word lest they be called elitist or racist, and everybody else just ignores reality. Can’t lose.
Nikki’s stress is only beginning.
I don’t know if it is even financial. Sounds more like these people couldn’t even be bothered to do any of their own research into where they should move. They had to wait until Big Govt Daddy stepped in and told them where the nice places were, then filled out their application forms for them and finally helped them with the first and last month’s rent.
But I’m sure that people who didn’t give a shit about where they lived will be all over making sure their kids show up to school prepared and ready to learn. So those new kids won’t be any drag in their new schools.
And they won’t bring their behaviors from the old neighborhood with them, which made the old neighborhood less desirable, and totally won’t affect the new neighborhood.
Unless I’m missing something, this sort of thing generally doesn’t work out well in the long term.
You are missing something. There are some very, very wealthy families that have made their wealth by the neighborhood destruction, gentrification cycle. Step one, move subsidized housing into a geographically and/or architecturally appealing neighborhood. Step two watch nature take its course. Step three buy up vacant/blighted property. (it helps to have an in with code enforcement so you can a. drive out unconnected competitors and b. avoid fines yourself) Step four designate the blighted area as a special opportunity zone, bonus points if you can get a major government development/infrastructure project. Step five, enjoy owning a ton of property that is now high end.
Well sure, it can work out well for connected grifters.
“HOAs are tools of white supremacy!”
*Rheee*
Everything is a tool of white supremacy. Didn’t you get the memo?
So block-busting, IOW. Isn’t that illegal in most places?
Is it really so bad that you keep all the apathetic shitheads living with each other in one place? I don’t see the benefits of spreading these knuckleheads out across the entire region.
*swoon*
A too local story about one our local universities (really just a jumped up technical college).
The university’s student senate has been suspended/disbanded because three student senators got a bug up their ass about the administration not filling vacancies for minority student support services quickly enough.
There are a LOT of other choice quotes in there as the reporter tries to not type “Christ, what an asshole”
The kind of people who go into student government are low rent authoritarians, almost without exception.
How are the students coping w/o the government there to lead them?
Isn’t that where Clark Kent got his degree?
Naw, he doesn’t have a fancy journalamalism degree.
jumped up technical college – a good technical college can be superior to many a university
Sorry Pie. I didn’t mean anything negative by that comment. I was just trying to give you foreigners an idea of what Metropolitan U is like. They are the local choice for people who have figure out later in life that they want to get a degree, but don’t want to go through the hassle/expense of enrolling in a traditional college.
Their classes are focused on people trying to learn skills to get a specific job once they graduate. They are a great option for non-traditional students.
So here’s a thought. Might it be that the heightened, feverish rhetoric of people yelling about fascists and Nazis and rampant racism riles up the loons on both sides of the aisle? When you say that, say, the president is actively promoting a neo-Nazi agenda to kill immigrants and enact white supremacy, maybe that moves the needle for three groups: people who hate Nazis, people who are Nazis, and people who are sick of being called Nazis. And maybe it’s worse now than it’s ever been because you have entire news networks validating these claims.
And is it possible that the constant marginalization, demonization, degradation, dehumanizing, and delegitimizing of white people in general and white males in particular by the left and their media allies helps to push some of the fringe white nationalist types over the edge?
That’s most of it I’d say and it’s only going to get worse.
+1 Nothing Left to Lose
It’s hard to see this as anything less than the MSM deliberating trying to stir shit up.
I’m not quite at full tinfoil hat yet, but I’m definitely at believing that the networks and the media figures have zero moral qualms about ginning up outrage in order to get attention. Granted, I don’t pay much attention to the mainstream media any more, but I’m not aware of anyone with the big news organizations who still does genuine investigative reporting. It’s all the Buzzfeed model now. Not that it was ever really unbiased, but now you’ve got the cable news networks not even bothering to pretend anymore.
A slow trickle from Dayton
Police had not determined a motive for the attack as of Monday evening. Reports linked him to Antifa, and showed that he supported Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Betts was armed with an AR-15-style rifle, police said. If all of the magazines he had with him were full, which hasn’t been confirmed, he would have had a maximum of 250 rounds, said Police Chief Richard Biehl.
“It is fundamentally problematic. To have that level of weaponry in a civilian environment is problematic,” Biehl added.
Of the more than 30 people injured in Ohio, at least 14 had gunshot wounds; others were hurt as people fled, city officials said. Eleven remained hospitalized Monday, Fire Chief Jeffrey Payne said.
Still unknown is whether Betts targeted any of the victims, including his 22-year-old sister, Megan, the youngest of the dead.
“It seems to just defy believability he would shoot his own sister, but it’s also hard to believe that he didn’t recognize it was his sister, so we just don’t know,” Biehl said.
While the gunman was white and six of the nine killed were black, police said the speed of the rampage made any discrimination in the shooting seem unlikely.
Hard to believe. I wonder if we will come to learn he knew those other people.
I’m stunned to find that the police chief wants to disarm the public. God forbid they should muscle in on his racket.
I’m sorry, but I’ve known more than a few people who’d deliberately aim for their siblings first.
So both were commie Antifa types. I look forward to the NBC News investigation.
You will be lucky if they are cowed into providing any kind of correction instead of just continuing to peddle the same old lies.
Unfortunately there’s nothing special about that, people kill their own family members all the time.
ITS A MYSTERY. WE WILL NEVER KNOW HIS MOTIVE.
Bitch ate my cheerios!
“To have that level of weaponry in a civilian environment is problematic,” Biehl added.
Really? Just one AR-15? And I never have owned guns, but wouldn’t someone have at least that many rounds just for practice at the shooting range?
I’ve gone through 200 rounds of 7.62×39 in under an hour sighting in a rifle, so that’s firing a round, asking my friend with the scope how far off I am, adjusting a sight, firing a round, etc., until it’s zeroed in.
To have that level of weaponry in a civilian environment is problematic,” Biehl added.
Now do cops, who are also civilians.
(Of course politicians “cops” like chief here would throw his rank and file under the bus if it would help him in any way)
If it can be replicated at scale, the experimenters may have hit on a powerful new tool for dismantling residential segregation in the United States.
Until thousands of rental units inexplicably disappear from the market.
Splinter tells us why Neil deGrasse Tyson is wrong
If Tyson had any particular expertise on this subject, he’d probably know that downplaying mass shootings and pointing instead to pistol homicides is a favorite bad-faith talking point of Second Amendment purists. They love to point to the fact that the majority of American gun violence takes place in urban areas like Chicago, which has strict gun laws. They won’t dare suggest that you should take handguns away from people, but they’ll certainly suggest that gun violence is actually all the fault of black people who get guns illegally (Chicago’s strict gun laws do nothing to curb the flow of guns legally purchased in neighboring states), which in turn is held up as proof that gun control laws don’t work. It’s fodder for reductive, bad-faith arguments that belie the research we have into the actual causes of gun violence (the presence of guns themselves, mostly).
“actual causes of gun violence (the presence of guns themselves, mostly).”
I care more about the causes of violence, not the tool chosen.
“They love to point to the fact that the majority of American gun violence takes place in urban areas like Chicago, which has strict gun laws. ”
Nothing she says refutes that. She simply complains about Hoosier arms dealers. Who is arguing in bad faith?
And ignores the fact that Indiana doesn’t have the same problem as Chicago, which refutes her main point.
Well the Hoosiers don’t have guns anymore. They sold them all to the people in Chicago. That is why they don’t have a gun problem.
Indiana does have the same problem as Chicago though. They have a much higher than average murder rate.
Murder rates:
Indiana: 6/100K
Illinois: 7.8/100K
Chicago: 17.5/100K
Vermont for a long time had the weakest gun laws in the country and very low levels of violence.
Guns cause violence, huh? Sweet, then I’m going to leave my lawn mower out front and see what happens.
But they sure love to cite him when it suits them, eh?
What the heck is a ‘second amendment purist’? The amendment says what it is. Don’t like it CHANGE IT.
These people are obnoxious.
And no, that is not the ‘actual cause’ because the truth is we really don’t know. Even up here in Control-land Canada the research is suspect on the subject.
So we rely on an animus interpretation. That is, inanimate object bad, ban bad object, feel good.
Why change it when you can legislate it away which is exactly what they’re doing.
“Splinter: The Truth Hurts”

Yes, of course. Nothing says “bad faith argument” like pointing out the utter abject failure of the multitude of laws already on the books.
We’re just not hitting it hard enough. We need a bigger hammer.
This sting ray-shaped vibrator is the non-gendered future of sex toys
Capitalism, bro.
“one size fits all”? Has this auther even glanced in the direction of a store selling these products? There is more deviation and variance in their design than virtually any other single category of consumer good.
Obvi a bigot.
Forget it, she’s rolling.
In the dildo and rubber pussy industry? Well, I never!?! {Clutches pearls, faints on to couch}
Well played!
“the sex toy industry has been traditionally dominated by men”
BULLSHIT
Vibrators and dildoes of a million varieties have been around for how long? And the Fleshlight (the first largescale specific male sex toy that I know of) came out, what, maybe ten years ago?
Even now go to Adam and Eve or your local sex shop and 80%+ of the toys will be specific to females.
Look, if you challenge their strawmen, you’re a shitlord. So just stop doing it, ok?
“bottom gender affirmation surgery”
Say what now?
It’s the technical term for malpractice.
I think that is when a Pimp declares you his bottom bitch.
Does that come with free healthcare and college?
The first two diagrams from Hopkins that game up in the google search:
1, and 2 (check out the dong hang on this guy).
Old news…
???
Has this person ever been in a sex toy shop? There are literally hundreds of different models of dildos and vibrators and clit stimulators and other varieties of toys designed primarily for women and then maybe 6 different models of fleshlight like toys for men.
Also, you can call yourself non binary all you like, no matter what you pretty much have 2 options for sexual stimulation
The idea came after a close friend had gone through bottom gender affirmation surgery and could no longer use typically gendered sex toys.
Oh.
gender affirmation

You clearly underestimate the fact that there is very little to do other than party when it is snowing, which when I went to school in Syracuse (not SU though – I’m no Jew) happened twenty-one days in a row.

For the drinkers, yesterday I bought a bottle of Waterloo Antique Gin
It’s a real treat with just some tonic even with no lime. Could also be used – which I haven’t tested yet – to make an Old Fashioned. It is a bit smokey flavored which may put off some drinkers. But right now, I’ll give it higher marks than my favorite Gray Skies. Also a nice treat / break from another favorite, Hendricks.
I once had a roommate, a tall, skinny skinhead from GA who fronted a decent rockabilly band; when he got moody, he liked to sit in the dark and sip Bombay Sapphire straight from the bottle. I wanted to like gin. I tried to like gin. I just can’t develop a taste for it.
Bad gin tastes like Pine Sol.
All the Gin I’ve tried tastes like twigs.
#metoo
Although to be fair, I will still try nice gins when offered. I like the components of gin, I’m fascinated by the process of its creation, But, yeah… it all tastes like I’m drinking a hike through the mountains. Tonic water is worse. Tonic water is pure poison and was only meant as an archaic malarial prophylaxis, not a potable.
There’s nothing wrong with not liking the taste of pine trees.
Guess I’m one of the few gin drinkers here, then.
Count me in, too.
??♂️
#metoo
Of course I do!
Raises hand..
Me! And I have two bottles of genever in the cupboard.
Add me to the list as well.
Add me as well.
For those who dislike tonic, amongst whom I number myself, try it with 7-Up or a lemony soda, with a twist, or slice, of lemon. Perfect for hot summer days.
I like Boodles.
We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs!
After two gruesome mass shootings in a 24-hour span, some Republicans are raising alarms that their opposition to new firearm limits is making the party toxic to the suburban women and college graduates who will shape the 2020 election.
“Republicans are headed for extinction in the suburbs if they don’t distance themselves from the NRA. The GOP needs to put forth solutions to help eradicate the gun violence epidemic,” said Dan Eberhart, a Republican donor and oil-and-gas executive who supports President Donald Trump.
Last year, Eberhart said, he was having lunch with Rick Scott when the then-Florida governor learned of the massacre unfolding in Parkland. It marked the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history, as a gunman used an AR-15-style rifle to kill 17 people. Eighteen months later, as the country reels from killing sprees in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, Eberhart said it’s time to join Democrats and majorities of Americans who want to ban those types of guns.
“The GOP needs to make several moves such as universal background checks, eliminating loopholes and banning military-style assault weapons to neutralize the issue,” he said. “Otherwise, Republicans will lose suburban voters just like they did in the midterms on health care.”
NEEDZ MOAR HARRUMPHS
NOPE.
that way lies political suicide.
“said Dan Eberhart, a Republican donor and oil-and-gas executive who supports President Donald Trump.”
And he obviously knows what’s best. Fuck the Republicans. Liberty loving people are on their own and have been for a long time. No politician will save them, they must defend their rights themselves.
Eighteen months later, as the country reels from killing sprees in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, Eberhart said it’s time to join Democrats and majorities of Americans who want to ban those types of guns.
Let me put this as plainly and succinctly as I can: go fuck yourself.
You know what else a majority of Americans have wanted to ban?
Anal sex?
Why can’t you just reel like the rest of us, hater?
How often has some dipshit warned of “the extinction of MUH RUHPUBLIKUNZ”? Somehow it never comes to pass…
Talk of the County: Trump ‘is a breath of fresh air’

Harry and Meghan, I refute you thus.
I am totally in favor of a monarchy – if I am the monarch.
Under all other conditions, I do not approve.
This man gets it.
Democracy is a very bad idea. That’s why we have a republic with (increasingly meaningless) constitutional limits.
Not to be difficult (ok, to be difficult) a republic neither implies, nor does it stand in opposition to, democracy. Both oligarchies and absolute democracies are republics.
I’ll amend: a federal republic.
What’s Really Behind the ‘White Supremacy’ Terrorism Scare
Well, she’s partly right. This is yet another attempt to achieve the control that they have failed to achieve by other means.
But then of course she has to dive into all the destruction and ‘epidemic’ bullshit.
How about some conservative publicizing how breathtakingly effective liberty is at elevating even the lowest of the low? About how racial supremacy quickly becomes laughable in the face of unfettered competition and opportunity?
Or is that not a conservative thing?
“Or is that not a conservative thing?”
It’s not a Trump-servative thing.
How dare you print what the President actually said instead of one of our talking point lies!

Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, the party’s 2012 presidential nominee, signaled openness to new gun laws on Sunday and said he wants to be a “constructive voice” in the debate.
“These issues involve constitutional rights and deeply held beliefs – but that is not an excuse to shy away from a serious, fact-based, and thorough national discussion which will potentially lead to remedial legislation,” he said.
Even that fire breathing libertarian absolutist Mitt Romney recognizes the dire necessity of common sense gun safety regulations? That settles it. I’m convinced.
Mitt Romney is the guy who signed the legislation that banned assault weapons here in MA permanently. As in we can’t legally purchase AR-15’s here thanks to that fucker.
So gungrabbing progressive wants to ban guns. News at 11.
Mitt, of all people, should know better than to try to appease them.
Mitt is a bitch, and the people of Utah are bigger fools for having elected him.
Fuck him and his carpetbagging ways. At least his father claimed he was brainwashed before doing an about face.
a serious, fact-based, and thorough national discussion
In which actual facts are notably absent. In which intentions are treated as laws of physics. And in which citing actual research is seen as gauche.
Sorry, Mitt, you can count me out on that one.
What in the blue hell is a national discussion? I’ll go ahead and have one right now.
Them: “Hello, we’d like to effectively remove your ability to buy and own weapons.”
Me: “No.”
Okay, discussion over. Thanks Mitt, you schmuck.
Just a reminder that Mitt Romney always has and always will suck donkey balls.
An Open Letter About Gun Violence to the Socialist Democrats
Violent video games do not cause or worsen societal violence. It’s been studied, over and over again. This is one area where “anti-science” does seem to apply.
And neither do guns. The science there is just as consistent. The reality that nobody really wants to talk about is that we live in one of the safest times and places in human history. The objective reality is that there’s really not much to “do something” about.
Utopia is not yet achieved comrade.
True. But since when has reality mattered?
If political rhetoric can be linked to violence (as we are led to believe) then naturally the same can be said for music and video games.
The larger contributing factor though is our decades-long decline in morality in America which has contributed far more to the mass violence incidents we have been experiencing than anything else. What was once considered deviant and unacceptable behavior has today become celebrated, even encouraged.
Okay, I’m on board.
As more and more letters of the alphabet are added to the list of protected sexual classes the nation grows more and more depraved.
Human life has become so devalued that it is declared by the news media and the Socialist Democrats that killing a baby at the instant of full term birth for no other reason than “I changed my mind” is defended as a “right”.
Aaaaand I’m out.
If people want to talk about the role society plays in the creation of mass shooters, the conversation starts with 1) forcing families to become 2 income and 2) public school feeling an awful lot like prison.
Can we include drugging the hell out of boys in an attempt to make them not boys?
While at the same time no longer insisting on self disciplining behavior.
Devaluing life inevitably leads to violence. This article only mentions abortions, but what about the constant warfare state? If we as a society promote the idea that “life has value…but not that life” then don’t be surprised by what lives people choose to value.
I’m rejecting the premise outright. Until someone shows me clear and convincing evidence that “mass violence” incidents are actually increasing over a long-term trend (not just media coverage of the most sensational ones), I’m not even entering this conversation.
ditto
Overall crime nationwide has dropped to levels not seen in decades, and we’re expected to swallow, without evidence, that one particular category of it has traveled in the opposite direction?
Bullshit.
The issue, as you’re well aware, is that “mass shooting” as a measurable term, is completely polluted by politics to the point of being meaningless.
it never had any meaning and the current definition is worse than useless.
If you wanted to make the term have meaning you would first need to separate it from organized criminal violence as well as terrorism and you could not go by a standard of number of dead or injured because you would then be ignoring all the cases where the person was incompetent or stopped before they could rack up a high kill count.
I would propose a definition something like
I would add that it would have to preclude any involvement of the drug trade or street gangs. Otherwise you’d have the numbers inflated by homies in rat-infested shithole Baltimore (oops, I’m a racist) shooting up each other’s corners.
Venezuela and Uruguay warned their residents about violence and hate crimes in the United States Monday.
Uruguay’s warning also suggested avoiding the cities of Detroit, Baltimore and Albuquerque, as they were listed as part of the 20 most dangerous cities in the world according to the CEOworld Magazine 2019 index.
Venezuela’s Foreign Ministry office also issued a warning to its residents Monday, saying Venezuelans should postpone their travels or exercise caution when traveling as a result of the events in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
The statement posted by the Foreign Ministry said that the “recent proliferation of violent acts and hate crimes” need to be considered by those planning to travel into the US.
“Uruguay’s warning also suggested avoiding the cities of Detroit, Baltimore ”
RAAAAAAAAACIST!
Hmmm, what do those cities have in common? I mean, other than that they have been under Democrat control for at least half a century, because that can’t be it!
Meh, avoiding Detroit and Baltimore is just good sense. They are factually dangerous cities. We let our homegrown and KGB hothouse commies shape the cities now we have to own the result.
If you stick to the Inner Harbor, Baltimore is pretty great.
There’s no reason for a tourist to leave that area.
Dundalk has its charms.
Eh, I’ve been swarmed by homeless every time I visited the inner harbor. There are some cool things in the area, but I’ve always felt like I had to have extra situational awareness because of the number of loitering neerdowells.
Parts of Hampden aren’t bad, but I don’t know why a tourist would go there. If you get an Uber or a taxi or whatever to specific places, you’ll be fine, especially if it’s daytime. Fells and the Inner Harbor are ok if you stick to the main areas. If you go to a baseball game at night, park somewhere busy and walk with a crowd. Baltimore is dangerous for residents more so than tourists, I think, simply because tourists aren’t going to leave busy, well-lit areas that are patrolled by police very often.
Hampden was of the last KKK strongholds in Baltimore City. I think there’s still some out in Rosedale, north of Dundalk.
If you never explore a city, I’m sure they’re all lovely
is Jimmys Famous in the good part? Are there any armored Ubers?
It’s in a good part.
yeah I would not really call it pretty great. I’d say kinda cool and only mostly safe but you better have your situational awareness up
“Albuquerque”
WOOHOO! Hometown baby!
Albuquerque is one of the 20 most dangerous cities in the world? WTH metric did they use to determine that?
They watched Breaking Bad?
Now do Mexico.
I would have thought that Uruguay would be more concerned about homophobia

Venezuela’s Foreign Ministry office also issued a warning to its residents Monday, saying Venezuelans should postpone their travels or exercise caution when traveling as a result of the events in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.
Very impressive that they can make trips to Ohio in between time spent foraging for food.
If I was a liberal I’d be pissed. Nothing quite unites people against a position as foreigners acting high and mighty about it.
It doesn’t help that the media simultaneously wants to paint the US as a shithole, but then defends Baltimore. Is there a better argument against their policies than “those fucks from piss poor Venezuela do it”
It’s almost as if they actually think shitholes are amazing and that the US sucks.
“We need the 2nd Amendment”. Sign seen at the Hong Kong protests.
Ok, that’s pretty sad. And infuriating.
https://freebeacon.com/politics/schiff-says-russia-supports-second-amendment-killing/
So the Russians are behind the Hong Kong protests?
It is like Schiff never saw the documentary Red Dawn.
Yeah, they do. Everyone does, but they really do.
The end result of the commies taking possession of HK was always going to be repression, and without arms it’s going to be a foregone conclusion no matter how much they protest.
Though frankly even with arms, they’re likely to get run over by Beijing. At least they’d have a chance.
It is sad to see white supremacy spread to Chins.
He’s obviously a white supremacist.
Damn. I need to remember to refresh.
So what has changed? Part of the answer is that now we have a 24-hour sensationalist news cycle that is driven by a political agenda and profits.
*grinds teeth*
Even if you’re non-profit, if you don’t make any damn money you won’t be in business. This basic fact seems to escape people. They act like the news media is supposed to be driven by…what? Altruism? Banana nut bread?

I swear they just keep changing the definition to try to attract more useful idiots.
I still oppose any form of socialism.
Lying is a virtue. And that’s all that is, a huge lie.
Keep trying, idiots. I’m sure that someday you’ll figure out how you can both concentrate power in a central location, and yet not have control over it captured by the most avaricious characters in society.
Under socialism bank bailouts wouldn’t even be a question, because the banks would already be public entity so bailing them out would be just the usual course of action. How dumb to people have to be to believe this utter nonsense.
Socialism is the fetish of the rich now. And that should be repeated over and over and over again, so everyone knows these are just trust fund kids LARPing
Banks are already public entity. I read that the feds had insured something like $4.5 trillion in bank deposits in 2008. Had the banking system gone down the tubes, the feds would have laid out a lot more $$$ than they did by making loans which were ultimately paid back, with interest. Sometimes the lesser of two evils is the only rational choice.
I like the fact that the tax burden still exists. It is just funneled to different groups.
Too bad they didn’t list out the system that removed the tax burden altogether and let people spend their own money on thing they want.
Democratic Socialism includes Firemen, FireMEN?!?!
I’m literally shaking right now.
“not taking is giving.”
Rod Dreher: The Dayton shooter was in a band that glorified violence and rape. Maybe this led to his shooting spree
Corporate Press: The president’s rhetoric about immigrants is echoed in the El Paso shooter’s manifesto. Maybe that rhetoric led to this shooting
I’ve noticed that NPCs can only process one of these talking points while becoming very angry about the other. They need a “logical fallacy” upgrade to their coding, because holding one opinion to be true while rejecting the other makes literally no sense.
SHUT THE FUCK UP :Error received two inputs when only one is accepted
If [“shooting”] then [“orange man bad”]
Why would you write this as an if/then? I thought it was more input received:output “Orangeman Bad”
although if he signs/proposes any gun control he loses my vote. I’m half way out the door after the bumpstock thing, and I think bumpstocks are for retarded people.
Imagine how stupid he must be to honestly believe that he can win re-election by conceding the gun debate to progressives
I’m picturing him in favor of some massive “red-flag” bureaucracy the House will want to set up and which won’t get past the Senate. In the end nothing happens but everyone except those white supremacists in the Senate gets to pat themselves on the back for “doing something”.
My friend, let me introduce you to the magic of postmodernism.
They really need to make up their minds. We’ve got one group of progs saying, and I quote, that guns cause mass shootings. We’ve got another saying that right-wing rhetoric causes mass shootings.
Left-wing rhetoric, of course, only causes puppies and rainbows.
Can we include drugging the hell out of boys in an attempt to make them not boys?

In Hong Kong, It’s Now a Revolution
I wish them well, but I have a bad feeling about this…
If Trump were smart (which is debatable, if I’m being generous) then he would just rename his tariffs “sanctions”. Then dare anyone to question those sanctions. And that’s how he would get his tariffs.
The government has guns and HK doesn’t. It’s not a foregone conclusion, but it’s not looking good.
I wish them the best of luck, because HK doesn’t deserve to be consumed by Beijing and the commies, but I’m not optimistic.
I don’t know that its revolution. More like open rebellion. Revolution kind of indicates they have an alternate government structure prepared. I still believe China will conduct military pacification rather than lose.
I suspect you are right. China knows they need to maintain control of HK. If they lose control, they risk it spreading to the mainland, and they can’t afford to have that happen.
I suspect this is going to be functionally a repeat of the ’56 invasion of Hungary.
Or 68 Czechoslovakia
Embrace your inner pussydom.
https://ceoworld.biz/2019/06/04/3-reasons-leaders-should-embrace-cowardice/
LOL… I did not see the “3” upon first glance and read it as “Reason’s leaders should embrace cowardice” and my immediate reaction was ENB, The Jacket, and Fruit Sushi have already done so.
I saw the Jacket on Thaddeus Russel without his…jacket. It was disturbing. I thought Dave Smith brought his grandfather to the show at first
I see CEOs and don’t see anything but cowardice. I see no moral courage, no coherent principles
The purpose of demoralization is to make people unable to think. If they cant think they cant solve problems. If they cant solve problems they cant defend themselves, their families or their country.
No one ever wanted to make you unable to defend yourself for your own good. Darren needs a rusty chainsaw up the ass.
Whoever wrote that is a fucking idiot.
Cowardice is not feeling fear or being afraid, literally the definition of cowardice is being controlled by your fear such that you never act to face it.
What they seem to be saying is embrace situations that make you afraid and face those fears, generally good advice, embracing cowardice however would result in your running in terror from any situation that makes you uncomfortable
But he gets to frame it as not being toxic masculinity.
It’s working
California’s new ammunition background check law in its first month stopped more than 100 people from buying bullets illegally, officials said late Monday as they struggled to deter more of the mass shootings that have roiled California and other states over the last week.
“Countless other prohibited persons were likely deterred from even trying to purchase ammunition that they cannot lawfully possess,” Attorney General Xavier Becerra said in a court filing. He disclosed the early results in response to a gun owners’ rights group attempt to block the law that took effect July 1.
Lives were saved.
Because stopping them from buying bullets through this process also prevented them from getting bullets through other means.
Because laws are magic.
It’s odd that they try to expand background checks when almost every mass shooter passed a background check to buy the guns.
Why, it’s almost like they’re not concerned with public safety at all but rather want to find any excuse to reduce your 2A rights.
That just means they need to BAN HARDER.
Oh noes, what is a criminal to do now??
This law made it less likely for the gilroy shooter to be taken out before he was able to hit 16 people.
What a fun game, making shit up.
It’s odd that they try to expand background checks when almost every mass shooter passed a background check to buy the guns.
They want universal background checks because that is how they will get millions of currently anonymous guns and gun owners into the database, for later use.
Dude, your social security number will never be used for identification. That’s just silly talk.
This is why *ahem*some people*ahem* pay the premium for private sale.
I keep hearing that “America is awash in guns.” Yet, it being Texas, I’m surprised about a dozen people in Walmart weren’t carrying and immediately taking down the shooter? A Texas friend says most armed Texans leave their firearms in their truck or car when they shop but that may start to change despite the “This is a gun free zone” signs in the stores.
WalMart virtue signalling cost twenty-two lives there.
I’ve heard that the Walmart was a gun free zone. I’ve been avoiding the “reporting” on the shootings, so I’m not sure if it was or not.
Although, a Walmart has literally thousands of improvised weapons. Sure, they are melee weapons and not my first choice for taking on a gunman. I don’t know how long it would take to re-orient yourself when a random shooting starts, or whether I would head to the tool section and grab an axe and run to the sound of gunfire.
I have a plan for a shooter in my area of the hospital. Whether I could actually do it, or whether I could come up with one and carry it out in a random public shooting, I don’t know. But at least I’ve got something in my head other than “cower and cry” or “outrun everybody else”.
I’m pretty sure WMT, KR, etc are smart to leave the carry issue alone; it’s like abortion: pick a side and lose 50% immediately.
WMT had a plan where employees were to confront TX open carry and ask for permits, but the roll-out (as with all low-rent situations) was inconsistent: they didn’t have standard language to handle the most obvious and simple TX situation:
10 employee: sees open carry
20 e: asks to see permit
30 carry: fuck off
40: e: then we withdraw your permission to be on our property and ask you to leave immediately.
Step 40 just blew their mind in the same way that Step 20 blew E’s mind, as if the 30-07 law did a damn thing to change private property rights.
What I thought I had read was that the Walmart was in a mall that was a gun-free zone.
The conflict between property rights and the right to self-defense is one that I struggle with; I can see both sides. I keep thinking I will put together an article on it.
Everything starts with property for me.
I overlooked one objectionable new TX law: I object to the one restricting apartment owners on leasing terms.
People don’t want freedom, it’s uncomfortable. They want to return to the days when Mommy and Daddy looked after them, protected them and took care of them.
Naw, they just don’t want freedom for others, and they want free shit. With regards to themselves, everyone is a complete anarchist .. it’s the amorphous other they are worried about.
Which is why I tend to trust freedom-lovers, and distrust control freaks .. because a person’s politics is the clearest expression of their projection of their own inner state onto the world.
but freedom for me is ok cause I only want to do good stuff. you wanna do bad things
Happiness. I haz it.
Leading by example
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Monday pushed the United States to support gun control legislation in response to a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas over the weekend that claimed at least 22 lives, including seven Mexican nationals.
“We are very respectful of what other governments decide but we think that these lamentable events that occurred in the United States should lead to reflection, analysis and the decision to control the indiscriminate sale of arms,” Lopez Obrador said at a press conference.
We all know what a rampaging success Mexico’s gun control laws have been. There hasn’t been a firearm related death in Mexico since they kicked that French guy out.
So I guess we’re going to start criticizing domestic policies of our neighbors then? You really wanna go down that road Dear Leader of a quasi-failed corrupt narco-state?
Goddammit. I really had not planned to buy another gun any time soon, but I feel the urge to do so rising.
Maybe just stock up on ammo, since they’re going after ammo now, too.
Let me offer, in advance, a “that’s too bad” concerning the upcoming accident where all your firearms all into the lake when the boat happened to overturn.

“Atomization”
It’s a central theme of Peterson’s. An interesting point he brought up is the horrible “you’re ok just the way you are” bullshit. Instead of reassuring and building up people, it leads directly to ‘what’s the fucking point, then?”

(Make can be creating as well — writing, sculpting, etc.)

Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs Marcelo Ebrard on Sunday that the country’s top prosecutor is considering filing terrorism charges against Crusius.
He also threatened legal action against the U.S., saying Mexican leaders would demand conditions to protect its citizens while in the United States.
“It is not our disposition to involve ourselves in the internal affairs of any country, but this topic should be considered again because it affects many people, in this case Americans as well as Mexicans,” Lopez Obrador said.
Fingers were pointed.
If you can filter out the gun control BS, the story is downright strange.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7324839/Connor-Betts-shot-best-friend-mass-shooting-driving-Dayton.html
“Journalists” were flipping their shit because CNN did a report on the shooter where they mentioned that he was an Elizabeth Warren fan and an antifa supporter. And just like that rhetoric no longer leads to violence, because the principals are different.
Propagandists going to propagandize.

You gotta wonder: Do the Babylon Bee staff ever look at each other and say “This is just too easy. I need a challenge, and mocking leftist nitwits just isn’t it.”
I hope not.
Babylon Bee editor was on the T. Woods podcast recently. Good listen. I did not hear any Glib signaling words so I’m assuming he is not “one of us”.
Counting Lurkers, there are only a few hundred Tulpae around.
The people who work at the Babylon Bee are legitimate Christians. I’m not sure how well received rape jokes and girly pics are with them, but that would probably preclude them from visiting this site
Yeah, I thought about sending them a link to our satire site, but I’m not sure they’d be down with “Porn star succumbs to death of a thousand cunts.”
I think I recall him saying he was between conservative and libertarian but I might be misremembering.
How did this get missed here? NHS for the win!
Man mistakenly circumcised at hospital, receives roughly $24,000 for his troubles
It wasn’t. But it bears repeating.
Was mentioned yesterday at some point. Forget which article.
I larfed. “Y my pipi hurt?”
I was under the impression he was there for a different urology procedure, so there was some plausibility as to why it took so long to notice.
Honestly, I could see the patient just not understanding what was supposed to happen. Especially in England, where “informed consent” isn’t a thing (I’ve had to educate doctors who worked in the NHS on the American system of “You can’t do anything to a patient without telling them all about it, including risks, benefits, and alternatives”).
So, its pretty likely that he really didn’t have an idea what was supposed to happen, so when they brought out the scalpel rather than the scope, he didn’t realize there’s no scalpels involved in scoping somebody’s bladder and ask what the hell they thought they were doing. Its also SOP in American hospitals to confirm with the patient and the OR team exactly what is being done.
Bottom line: this is far more likely to happen in England than the US.
I knew (((they))) ran the NHS
“It makes far more sense to hold the press complicit for the innocents slaughtered in the wars they fomented than to hold gun owners complicit for the innocents murdered in the mass shootings they despise.”

While some have taken the farcical and illogical position that rhetoric creates violence, but not all rhetoric because reasons, Malice remains a voice of sanity. And his criticisms of the corporate press are more coherent than the conservative talking point about bias.

The roses are then divvied up according to sexual performance and evolutionary fitness; penis size, intravaginal ejaculatory latency time, ejaculation volume, semen analysis parameters, genetic diseases, number and frequency of female orgasms, etc.
The winner is then forced to procreate with the bachelorette on camera ’cause isn’t that what the whole point is anyway?

Gungrabbers POUNCE
The Obama rule that Trump nullified had added people receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses and people deemed unfit to handle their financial affairs to the national background check database.
Had that rule taken effect, the Obama administration predicted it would have added 75,000 names to the national background check database.
——-
Groups like the National Alliance of Mental Illness have accused the Trump Administration of rolling back other Obama-era policies designed to help the mentally ill.
“In the U.S., it is easier to get a gun than it is to get mental health,” said Angela Kimball, NAMI’s acting CEO. “We need to flip the script. It should be easy — not hard — for people to get the mental health care they need.”
———-
The Newtown Action Alliance said the president’s comments are an attempt to deflect from real change.
“If the president truly believed that those with mental illness should not have access to weapons of war, he would not have reversed Obama’s executive order to remove social security recipients with mental illness from the NICS background system,” Po Murray, Chairwoman, Newtown Action Alliance said in a statement. “But the fact is that only 4 percent of violent crimes are committed by those with mental illness. Donald Trump continues to push the NRA rhetoric that scapegoats mental illness in an effort to deflect from the real issue … the dire lack of common-sense legislation that could end the epidemic of gun violence in our country.”
There seems to be a bit of cognitive dissonance on display here, unless I’m just imagining it.
It’s not just the “mentally ill” they want to take guns away from.
The Obama rule that Trump nullified had added people receiving Social Security checks for mental illnesses and people deemed unfit to handle their financial affairs to the national background check database.
Which would have done absolutely nothing to stop either shooter.
I love how they somehow think that putting people diagnosed with mental illness on government databases to limit their rights is somehow going to encourage people with problems to seek help.
Gawd, why do I read the comments .. ars commenter sez:
Laws are magic, you just need to pass them.
hmm .. was not intended as a response.
the dire lack of common-sense legislation that could end the epidemic of gun violence in our country
“Naturally, the door-to-door confiscation effort will result in a temporary spike in gun violence, but after we have purged guns and, where necessary, gun owners from our society, well, utopia awaits!”
How about the unintended consequences of people not seeking mental health treatment because they’re concerned about losing their 2nd Amendment rights? That has the potential to be an enormous problem if these assholes get their way.
Individual eggs must be broken for the collective omelette, comrade.
