  • It's amazing the number of people after the elections who got loud in local FB groups about people like me who advocated not voting for Biden even though I live in a deep blue state where HE FUCKING WON

  • Okay that make a lot more sense lol

  • It was the same thing with COVID. Where a lot of states had mask mandates and closed things down, Southern states were willing to shove the elderly and immunocompromised into the furnace of capitalism to keep the wheels moving under the auspices of "individual accountability"

  • Abolish ice

  • Would have been much funnier if no one bothered to clap the second time

  • But typically they look more like this M&P Shield one that has 4 extra rounds from the "normal" capacity

  • A lot of more compact pistols have optional extended magazines if you're more concerned about round capacity than concealment. On the extreme end of things, you have stuff like a 33 round mag for a Glock 19 like this:

  • I see moms with these and just imagine they must have crazy leg strength

  • Some other folks beat me to it, but it really does just take time. The time takes longer the more you hold onto the past and ignore the present. But at the same time, don't try to completely ignore your feelings either. After my relationship of four years ended, I just laid on the floor and cried til I literally couldn't anymore. You get it all out and then try to move on. There will come a time in your life when you're with someone new and you'll look back on the time you spent mourning the end of your last relationship and wonder why you wasted so much time feeling sorry for yourself.

  • I love that place. It's always packed on the days I'm able to go tho

  • Republicans gleefully slash funding for education, healthcare, childcare, the environment, you name it, and then when Democrats are handed a slam-dunk political win to not fund the Gestapo after they've executed an unarmed middle-aged mother, they endlessly wring their hands over it. Pathetic.

  • Using real people as puppets in your bizarre political stage play. It's especially egregious with Renee Good since she didn't choose to be a national figure at all, much less have other people's words pasted onto her corpse. It's disgusting.

  • Flying Saucer?

  • I introduced my partner to AGDQ last week and she commented on how nice it was they had people's pronouns on screen. Decided not to comment about how GDQ has pretty much always been neuro-atypical and trans folk long as I can remember

  • Only Illinois and Hawaii require an ID or permit to purchase a firearm. California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, Washington, and New York require you to either pass a test, attend a class, or get a certificate, with NY specifically for handguns.

  • I think the saying is, "a 100 dollar gun is better than the more expensive one you didn't buy". Similar to "the little .380 you keep on you is better than the .45 you left at home" with regard to carrying smaller more comfortable pistols.

  • This view provides an interesting detail. He walks around the car with the phone, documenting the plates and the bumper stickers, and then before he walks in front of it a second time (for what reason?) he switches the hand with which he is holding the phone to free up his right hand. In a video from another angle, you can see he starts reaching for his gun when she's still in reverse, or at least before she accelerates. So to me, it seems like he's performing the behavior that was mentioned in a 2013 paper on CBP use of force. In that report, they mentioned agents were standing in front of cars about to flee, and then shooting the drivers in frustration and then claiming self-defense. Here, Ross positions himself in front of a fleeing person (but just barely, so he can still step out of the way) and uses them hitting the gas as an excuse to use deadly force. The fact he says "fucking bitch" afterward and also flees the scene suggests he killed her with malice and knew it was unjustified.

    Here is an article about the use of force paper from 2014 https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/us-border-agents-intentionally-stepped-front-moving-vehicles-justify-shooting-them/

  • You did have Dr Phil doing ride-alongs with ICE in Chicago back at the beginning of the year. Those weren't great propaganda though because you could tell the people being arrested were just normal people and not "bad hombres"
