I pretty much had to set a limit with my wife. Like you can have these 4 giant tote bins filled with yarn supplies and two baskets of projects in progress but if you want more than that you have to give some away.

I had to make a boundary because it was getting out of hand.

If only it were easier to organize into teams without being infiltrated by disguised fed boys, but only the right is allowed to do that.

It’s almost like the uniting factor of the people is class. I feel like there was a historical figure once, who was assassinated for trying to pivot from race to class because the government saw the danger of a united population.

Every other cause is a distraction from that one.

I will cover my guns in cosmoline, wrap them in wax paper, and bury them in a pelican case in the desert before I turn them in or let them be taken.

All of modern logistics is based on a hub and spoke system instead of point to point because it’s cheaper. It’s also why it’s impossible to find a direct flight unless you live at or are traveling to a a hub airport.

It’s not even the first time. Several years ago Georgia cracked down on employers of illegal immigrants and you know what happened? A whole shitload of produce rotted in the fields, because it turns out picking vegetables in 90 degree heat with 100% humidity for 14 hours a day 6 or 7 days a week for minimum wage isn’t really a job people want.

It’s always depressing to me that there are pretty obvious ways to fix problems but absolutely no way to enact solutions.

Publicly funded elections (so corporations cannot buy their way in), and a ban on post-career employment for politicians fixes it immediately. But fat chance of that.

You’d need 2/3 of the Senate to vote to get rid of him after years of party purification - the reasonable people are all gone.

I’m trying to imagine how the collapse of Rome would have gone if Caesar had been so limp dicked and useless.

I would be honestly less concerned if I thought the administration would be successful in deporting people. I think you’re relying heavily on “due process” here, when the reality is they can just accuse you of a crime, deny you bail, and then hold you pretty much indefinitely. You let the ones who can get lawyers out and you’ve pretty effectively filtered the population for wealth.

The Nazi death camps started as temporary internment camps with the intent to deport Jews eventually.

Then they just ended up with a whole bunch of people in camps with nowhere to send them and were like, “well, we might as well get some work out of some and kill the rest” and it sort of escalated from there.

Which with their “camps for the mentally ill, homeless, and drug addicted” and “deportation emergency” sounds alarmingly similar.

Also the ability of mirror neurons to watch someone do a thing, then conceptualize and execute it with your body is extremely interesting.

5.56 is ~50 cents a round and has been for years at this point

I’m pretty convincing he’s being encouraged to outright collapse the us by Putin

No, it isn’t like the nemesis system in a Lord of the rings game. A new VP is appointed, instead of everyone moving up a rank.

Why not just…hire spokespeople for a PAC at $500k/yr based on a public contest/audition about making right wing content? Same outcome, not at all illegal.

Hayes ending reconstruction is one of the worst and possibly one of the most consequential decisions in the history of mankind.

We’ve devolved past Idiocracy

I mean, yes, but grass roots and I’m not paid lol

It really is surprisingly effective. So few people actually contact their legislators.

I set up a harassment campaign and got a few hundred people to contact a state legislator whose committee was holding up legalizing weed in my state and a few months later it was legalized. Agitate. Make a difference. Protesting doesn’t do shit, get all the people there to call their representatives and senate members - especially for state and local stuff, and you might actually get something changed. Or even better, send a letter.

Lmao, the middle child of generations
