This needs a line going up the Appalachians for the “You-uns” belt.

Also pump-action weapons. I’m pretty sure if semi-auto weapons disappeared tomorrow everyone would still have ARs, they’d just replace the gas tube with a push rod and convert it to pump action.

Yes. It means that the gun is only capable of firing one bullet per single action of the trigger, and automatically re-cocks itself for you after you fire.

Fully automatic means a firearm that can shoot multiple rounds per single action of the trigger – i.e. a gun that keeps firing as long as you hold the trigger down. This is also the legal definition of what a “machine gun” is.

Also, a “sub-machine gun,” in case you ever wondered, is a machine gun that shoots pistol caliber bullets rather than rifle caliber.

The Democrats have had an entire decade to offer some kind of meaningful opposition and didn’t bother. Why would they start now?

It’s always a grift with these people.

It’s not even surprising anymore. Oh… wow… the Scooby Doo villain’s mask came off again… crazy… who ever could have seen that coming… crazy…

It’s just tedious.

I was so disappointed when Kamala came out strong for Medicare For All and then pretty much immediately caved and walked it back.

I have a strong suspicion that there is enormous pressure from the business world to keep the healthcare system the way it is. I’d bet almost anything that the instant healthcare is no longer tied to employment there is going to be a mass exodus of people from their jobs, and an absolute explosion of people starting their own businesses. I mean, I’ve had about half a dozen good scalable business ideas waiting and ready to go for years now, and the only reason I haven’t pursued them is because it would probably mean giving up my health insurance. I can’t possibly be alone in that.

And I bet if we got socialized health care, a lot of the problems we have right now with suppressed wages and poor working conditions would suddenly have a way of working themselves out.

I went back and replayed some of the OG Metroid games (Metroid, Super Metroid, Fusion, and Zero Mission), and I’m happy to report that they are still rad a/f.

They fucking better, because he’s definitely going to.

Bezos: “Hey Donald, I stopped my Washington Post editors from endorsing Kamala for you. Didn’t I do good, daddy?”

Trump: “Fuck you! Lawsuit! Fuck you!”

Where I live we have a thing called BallotTrax. You sign up once and it automatically sends you notifications for that stuff so you don’t have to remember to check. I really like it.

My knee pain is associated with arthritis, unfortunately. I wish stretching helped. I’m even a couple years younger than OP, but when I walk up stairs it sounds like I’m crinkling two big balls of cellophane.

I could still do without the knee pain though.

According to the caption under the picture, it’s Emily Blunt…

I don’t know if they officially count as grindhouse, but when I was a kid I loved a ton of the B-grade action movies that the Cannon Film Group put out in the 1980s. American Ninja, Delta Force, Cobra, Bloodsport, the Death Wish movies, Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja, etc. And, of course, the greatest ninja movie ever made:

Ninja III: The Domination.

Just gonna leave this here.

Well yeah, nobody will be able to make fun of them for typos like this if nobody is allowed to learn to spell in the first place.

I keep getting served some supremely mediocre eastern European hip-hop in Release Radar and other Spotify-generated playlists because of some guy who performs as Devo. Same with guys performing as Slayer, Poe, etc.

A lot of the time they’re listed on the track along with two or three other people, so I go to the pages of those associated acts and tap the “don’t play this artist” option in the three dots menu, and that usually cuts down on how much I see them in my feeds. At least until they do a new collab.

And while we’re on the subject, if Spotify could also stop lumping several artists of the same name together on the same profile, that’d be great. There’s an old surf-rock band called the Astronauts that I listen to sometimes, and at one point there were albums from at least four different bands included on their discography page. There’s still at least two.

Sounds like someone is trying to immanentize the eschaton.

They criticize everything the Democrats do. Literally everything. They double down on anything that catches traction. The more traction it gets, the harder they push it.
