Additional edit: idfk man. Scream it from the rooftops if you want to. Clearly something needs to be done about this shit, but I can tell straight off from this article that it’s just a tee-up for them to go “look how dramatic the snowflakes are” or whatever bullshit they’re spewing this week. Fuck these guys, and all the bullshit they want to pull, but playing into their hand like that is hard to avoid.
Pretty sure they’re joking. Not sure how much, but that seems to be the tone they’re giving. “Oh yeah let’s do the thing they said we would haha”. It’s not very funny but it’s like someone getting a gun and saying “Time to shoot up a school hurr hurr”
Not that that makes it any better, but still. Something important to keep in mind, you go blasting this around with “look he said it!” And they’re just going to laugh at you for believing getting upset.
Edit: I’m not saying that this is okay at all but the guy in the article definitely has the tone of “oh yeah let’s tell them we are gonna start up the murder machine out front” I understand that there are a lot of people that do stick to this rhetoric. But I pretty much guarantee that in the context of this article it’s bait to get people to go “he said he’s gonna start up his murder machine!” And then they’ll go on some rant about liberals or whatever else.
The guy is still probably an absolute shithole but you need to be able to recognize when they are setting people up for a punchline that furthers their agenda.
It’s just like the church guys who stand outside with the old “god hates (slur)” signs. They believe it, but fighting them or screaming about it just pushes their agenda. Condemn them, call them out, but hysteria just gives them ammunition.
Catholic Church: “Um actually she’s not a minor, she’s a 3,000 year old diety that just looks like a-”
It’s not like “oh dear God” levels of bitter but it’s enough to just be like “pteh ew” and spit it out.
We can’t accept that as inevitable. I don’t like it either but there has to be some way that we can avoid this “there’s gonna be civil war” discourse, because all it does is wind people up
Captain: “What happened? How did you die?”
Wan: shrugs
I don’t care if people are have to be led there with a lollipop and a soda if it gets people voting. Civic duty is important, but people need encouragement.
Oh you need to see the fight from “They Live” if you haven’t. Classic 80s era fight that just goes on for WAY too long. So many times of “Now Ive won. Take THAT.” “RRRRAH” fight immediately starts again
Actually yeah now that you mention it, it does sound like something out of a renaissance festival where they’re setting up a scheduled show lol.
“Dirty Dave I’m calling you out! You and I are going to have a duel to the death! At 12:00 in the town square! Right in front of the Hootenanny Stage! Be there to see who is the winner! Tips welcome!”
I’ll just add to this, 9mm, or any handgun really, is still very loud. The reason it doesn’t seem as loud is because when most people are shooting there are two main things happening.
Again it’s still really loud, but the context of where the sound is being made does make a difference. Obviously larger rounds will be louder, but that doesn’t mean rounds like 9mm are safe for your ears at all.
I long for the days where movies would tell you it’s night time but still actually keep it light enough that you can, y’know watch the movie
They don’t care to do anything about those
Isn’t there a whole big deal about Fred Meyer merging with them and some anti monopoly bs going on?
Yeah see it’s not surge pricing! We actually lower prices whentheresnobodyintheaisle so that the discounts are passed on to you! Also we list the lowered price in the ads and apps so when you come in you can be surprised by power of our tech! and the updated price
Oh my God someone PLEEAASE. We need to get that made and going around.
I always thought there was supposed to be some kind of PPE or cleanup team that has to do that. Thankfully never had it at any of my old retail jobs but one of my friends said at their grocery store they basically just had a high powered hose they blasted everything down with then went after with sanitizer
Ah yes the plane ride from hell: https://prowrestling.fandom.com/wiki/The_Plane_Ride_From_Hell
McMahon has always been a sack of shit though.
Honestly yeah. My hopes are at this point our electoral process does exactly what it just did. It’s clear a lot of people went out and voted for him. Not a small group but a ton. And my resignment has just been “Okay, this is what you asked for, buckle up”.
It’s gonna suck ass and I really hope they don’t start some bullshit that makes them squeak out of the mess they’re about to step in. (They’ll definitely try to) But let’s give the American people exactly what they asked for and just try to stop the house from catching on fire while they realize what a bad idea it was.
