I got nothin.
I got a red dot sight sitting here that needs the riser to come today so I can install it.
Get a red dot cartridge so you can line up the dots. It’ll be fun.
I need a riser recommendation. My red dot is pointed directly at the back of the oversized front sight.
Is your front sight attached to a rail or affixed to the barrel? If a rail, you can get flip sights to fold down when not in use.
The barrel. If I could get the thing to move without a saw, I’d not need a riser.
I buy cheap ones I find on Amazon. The one I got supposedly cowitnesses with my Red dot, and it has Allen screws to mount to the picatinny. Worst case, I figure, is that I’m out $10 if it sucks in some unforeseen way. Most of the cheap ones are milled aluminum, so it’s not like they’re gonna break from the stresses. Big thing I’m afraid of is the screw backing out, but locktite fixes that.
supposedly cowitnesses *standard flip up sights* with my Red dot
I didn’t want to say it, but…ditch that Barska and get a Sig Romeo 5 red dot with the riser mounts. It’s ~$125 if you shop around. The dot will be finer, battery life way better, and motion activated.
It’s really pretty good for the price point.
That’s what I would do.
That’s what I did. So sweet.
Mine came with a riser already installed, I removed it because it was going on my bullseye pistol.
Or go big and get Trijicon.
Or

I love Trijicon. I have 2 red dots (well, 1 amber dot on the pistol and a green triangle for the AR), and 2 scopes.
A green triangle 1-4x on an AR, and an Amber triangle 3-9x on my hunting rifle (Remington 700 LSS Mountain in 7mm-08).

Justice Department: Arizona Senate Audit, Recount May Violate Federal Law
Pamela Karlan, the principal deputy assistant attorney general with the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, wrote in a letter that federal officials see two issues with the election review ordered by the Republican-led state Senate.
One issue is that ballots, voting systems and other election materials are no longer in the custody of election officials — a possible violation of federal law, which requires state and local election workers to store and safeguard federal voting records.
The other issue: Plans for door-to-door canvassing may also violate federal laws aimed at preventing voter intimidation, according to Karlan.
Only STEVE SMITH is allowed to canvas voters.
I’ll take them seriously when they prosecute the Fulton County officials for destroying voting records in defiance of a judicial order.
It’s racist to have free and fair elections.

And ballot harvesting is totes cool.
It really is every bit as stupid as Team Blue’s Russia obsession. The cast and crew of nutcakes involved beggars belief.
I’m seeing more and more of an emergence of “Team Red virtue signaling” for lack of a better phrase, and can’t say I’m any more fond of it than the team blue version.
A more constructive use of time might be to try and address the Federal Government’s regulatory apparatus (e.g. The CDC) becoming a group of defacto un-elected legislative bodies. But I suppose that’s too wonky.
But they like that bit too. They just want to be the ones with the reins.
state and local election workers to store and safeguard federal voting records
There are any number of laws requiring companies to maintain certain records. None of them are violated if they contract it out.
Plans for door-to-door canvassing may also violate federal laws aimed at preventing voter intimidation
Every campaign does door to door canvassing. I don’t recall any campaign being indicted for doing so.

Sometimes people shovel out BS that can’t stand up to even the most obvious thought experiment, such as the person quoted in the a.m. links who said that if Trump is kept off Facebook, he couldn’t win in 2024, because no modern political campaign could succeed without a Facebook presence.
So, if Zuckerberg decreed that no Republican politician would be allowed on Facebook, does anyone believe that would result in an epic Blue Wave in 2022, with the House going to 435-0 in favor of the Ds?
If they do that it will result in a windfall of funding into Republican accounts.

I pulled the wheels and tires off my (old decrepit) Airstream. I decided I had better start working on it; if I’m lucky, I’ll be living in it in 60 days. The tires were so old and hard they were almost impossible to get off the wheels, UNTIL! I got the genius idea to use ATF as lubricant. It was a battle, but it worked. If that failed, I was going to soak them in diesel fuel overnight and burn them off.
I have no idea if those wheels are the original equipment wheels, but holy mackerel are they heavy. Forged-depleted-uranium heavy. With the antique trailer tires on them, unsprung weight was about 750 pounds. I have a set of Chevy truck wheels which just might be going on with the new tires the UPS man is bringing.

A $2000 tax credit doesn’t make kids into a financial benefit. The married filing jointly benefit is highly circumstantial and isn’t a particularly compelling financial benefit. We’re talking about a few grand a year, maximum.
We’re talking about a few grand a year
You might even call them “crumbs”
Point being that most people likely spend more on their children/spouse than they’d get back in the credits, making the “forced to have a family” line ring hollow.
It’s good money, sure, but it’s not offsetting the additional costs by any stretch.
The marriage penalty wasn’t that long ago.
Marriage penalty still exists. Singles can deduct $10k in SALT, married can deduct $10k in SALT.
Damn right it does. If we could file as separate individuals, we’d save around $10K a year in federal income tax.
Married filing separately seems to be the worst of both worlds.
Generally, filing jointly is most advantageous when you have a single breadwinner and the other spouse makes little or no money. Spouses making near equal salary get fucked.
Relevant chart
By design.
Serious question – Why don’t you get “divorced” as far as the Gov’t is concerned? 10 grand/year seems a hefty price to pay just to have the state’s validation of your union.
There was an “industry” setup in the bad old days. Couples would fly to the Caribbean just before Christmas; get divorced; party for a couple of weeks; get married; and fly home.
The IRS eventually clamped down on the sham divorces.
To the question at hand: the marriage contract comes with lots of benefits and responsibilities beyond taxes.
The marriage penalty is an insult and an aggrievance, but that doesn’t justify getting divorced to save on taxes.
Less rational than kinnath:
Because our marriage is a lot more than an economic arrangement.
Yeah, let me run that by my wife and see what she says. lmao.
To each his own I guess, I could put up with a lot of insults and aggrievances for 10,000 simoleons, also I don’t put much stock in either the state or some religious body sanctifying my relationships so I may be an outlier.
I don’t put much stock in either the state or some religious body sanctifying my relationships
Well, I’ve only had the one.
And I never gave a shit what other people thought.
But the legal aspects of raising a family and managing joint property ownership without the marriage certificate is well beyond the capabilities of the young and stupid guy that I was when I got married.
kinnath – there’s a good reason that those of us who oppose state-sanctioned and/or state-limited marriage suggest replacing the (usually implicit) contract involved in the marriage certificate with actual contracts. That would allow all of the legal aspects to be wrapped up in the contract, without requiring any state or church sanction.
contract involved in the marriage certificate with actual contracts.
Those with the resources to follow that path should certainly entertain it.
I have said in the past that the vast majority of people should just stick to a three-contract with option to renew.
Download from legal zoom or equivalent and move forward.
One way or another, someone has to enforce it. If you don’t want the church or the state involved, I’m sure the mob will be happy to lend a hand.
Following recommendations from public health experts, Illinois will move forward with a dial-like approach between the mitigations in Phase 4, which currently apply to the entire state, and the post-pandemic new normal of Phase 5. This Bridge to Phase 5 will allow for higher capacity limits and increased business operations, before public health experts tell us it is safe to move to the new normal that Phase 5 will bring.
“New normal”? Fuck you.

Sununu’s weekly Covid press conference
Gov. Chris Sununu is announcing new programs using federal funds to help New Hampshire businesses and communities recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The governor said Thursday that money that must be recouped from some businesses that received help from the Main Street Relief Fund will be released back to the community in programs intended to help with COVID-19-related costs.
Sununu said many New Hampshire businesses had better revenue in 2020 than they did in 2019, and under the rules laid out for the money that went into the Main Street Relief Fund, the state must recoup the money because it was designated specifically to help cover losses.
Sununu said he has sent a letter to the U.S. Treasury Department asking for more flexibility, but if the state must take that money back, he said he wants to use it for new programs aimed at covering costs, rather than lost revenues.

Update of sorts on that veteran in NH and him being stuck in a nursing home
State officials have ripped up nursing-home guidelines they implemented last week. They now suggest administrators rely on federal guidelines for nursing homes and the state’s Universal Best Practices, which were adopted by Gov. Chris Sununu’s Economic Reopening Taskforce and go into effect Friday.
“We’re in a new environment,” said Dr. Elizabeth Talbot, the deputy state epidemiologist.
That new environment has been highlighted in recent days by the case of Leo Buote, a resident of Hanover Hill Health Care in Manchester who wanted to visit Billy’s Sports Bar and Grill for lunch and a beer.
Owner Bill Laberge eventually delivered the meal to the 96-year-old World War II veteran. Laberge may soon see Buote on a Billy’s barstool.
In discussions on Wednesday, state officials said they can’t stop a resident from leaving a home.
“The resident still has a right to leave, to go visit,” said Susan Buxton, the long-term care ombudsman for New Hampshire. But she said a returning resident may face some restrictions, including isolation.
Protect the vulnerable!

Senate committee wants Sununu’s input on emergency powers bill
A state Senate committee wants to hear from Gov. Chris Sununu’s office as it considers whether to dramatically check the powers of a governor dealing with a future emergency.
Sununu, a Republican, will need GOP allies in the Senate to avoid having to veto a House-passed bill (HB 417) which would require a vote from both houses of the Legislature to extend any governor-declared emergency beyond 30 days.
Last month, the House endorsed the measure, 328-41, well above the two-thirds super-majority needed to sustain a veto.
State Rep. Carol McGuire, R-Epsom, said it would not apply to the current COVID-19 state of emergency, no matter how long it lasts.
During a public hearing Wednesday, no senators spoke against the measure.
However, Rep. Peter Schmidt, D-Dover, favored forming a blue-ribbon commission to come up with a more collaborative process.
“The idea the Legislature is going to get in, and sitting on the governor’s shoulder and micromanaging everything he or she does, is going to create chaos and not be effective at all,” said Schmidt, a 10-tern incumbent.

Other-directed personalities are inherently flexible because their views of themselves and others come to them from others. Neither tradition nor reason bind them. They seek approval and applause rather than respect and are the best adapted to the modern economy, which demands rapid adaptability regarding car and clothes styles and workplace roles.
….
Meanwhile, other-directed voters go on social media to try to figure out which politicians and policy proposals will earn them the most plaudits from assorted avatars and social influencers. They value fitting in over logic or consistency and many seem genuinely puzzled when the inconsistencies in their expressed opinions are pointed out to them.
I don’t know, the notion that the mosdern economy produces people who are mindless conformists who can be easily convinced into attacking the modern economy is a bit of a flaw don’t you think?
But moving America’s social personality type towards inner-directedness again may be a pipe dream because its proprietors and entrepreneurs are currently being assailed from all directions. In fact, if I didn’t know better I would say we were in a period of dekulakization, of the deliberate destruction of small business owners through otherwise useless economic lockdowns and police-induced looting. But the destruction of small business ownership could never happen in the United States, right?
Hmm….
Are you kidding me? The bits of the economy where your “car and clothes styles” are important are microscopically small.

The other is what we may call cosmopolitan liberals, a group that combines support for a broadly free market economy with personal liberty and cultural individualism, but also supports a more egalitarian public policy than most individualists would like.
Who pray tell are these specific actual “cosmopolitan liberals” with these views? All the ones I see sure as hell don’t support free markets, personal liberty or individualism in any real sense even before last year. Unless he is talking about small business owners in big cities (I am not sure I would really call them “cosmopolitan” though) I have no idea what he is going about here.
This leaves the cosmopolitan liberals as the group least hostile to individualist ideas and perspectives.
The same ones who would later enthusiastically supported lockdowns?

https://www.aier.org/article/is-this-really-a-post-liberal-era/
So far as the dominant politics of the last thirty years can be said to have a philosophy behind it, it is best described as technocratic managerialism, a belief in the ability of applied knowledge to devise the best way of organising economic and social life and, increasingly, private life as well.
This found expression in two kinds of public policy that the critics now deprecate. The first was a political economy that while apparently pro-market saw market relations as something that was created and sustained by a technocratic state and expert economists, instead of being something that emerged from what people did when they were left alone.
….
The second was a social policy that promoted a kind of social and cultural individualism but one removed from concrete social relations and responsibilities. This went along with an expansion of state welfare and income transfers, for reasons that combined egalitarianism with individualism.
…
The central fact was that there were no more consistent and self-aware liberals, of either variety, than there had been in the early 1960s, even if their ideas had a wider hearing. Moreover, the core beliefs had lost something of their coherent identity and had become as much a matter of technique as principle. This kind of technocratic politics could not survive indefinitely, because it begged a whole series of foundational questions (in the correct sense of that expression).
I agree with this completely. Our current totalitarian moment is in part thanks to the technocrats embracing China, lockdowns, wokism and environmentalism instead of staying in their lanes of Free Trade, Open Birders and trying to slow downs regulations and taxes and spending.
They elide the most important issue – applied/devised by who? Individualism is people applying their own knowledge to devise their own thing. Technocratic managerialism is people applying (generally over-determined) “knowledge” to organize other people’s lives.
applied/devised by who?
“Experts”. Technocracy thrives on the “it’s too hard to understand and keep up with ______, you do it for me” mentality. All the better if the person taking responsibility has a degree and the fawning adoration of the media.
Of course, the soviets knew how flawed this model was within a decade.
Technocracy is just another type of utopianism:
-a better world is possible
-we know what this better world is
-we know how to achieve this better world
A perfect example of the technocratic “free market” he is talking about are the debates over trade and immigration. The real problem with nationalism and populism was that the dumb yokels are questioning the economic and social policies of their betters rather then free trade and open borders themselves actually being good. The fact that these very same technocrats embraced lockdowns, border closures and internal borders makes this clear.

“The big lie. The Covid misinformation. It all comes back to Russia.
(CNN)We can’t really ever know all the truth, but we are still learning new facts about how former President Donald Trump’s campaigns and administration warped perception.
While Trump can’t spread misinformation on Twitter (ever again) or Facebook (at least for the next six months, we learned Wednesday), we’re starting to get a clearer sense of the line between misinformation in 2016, misinformation in 2020 and how it might look now that the majority of the GOP has decided to mainline misinformation going forward.
The 2016 version of misinformation came from Russia. Did Trump’s 2016 campaign interact with Russians and did those Russians send information back to the Kremlin? Yes. The Treasury Department made the revelation of Russia’s 2016 interference in April, announcing new sanctions for Russia’s attempted election meddling in 2020.”

There is no reason to trust a damn thing coming out of that agitprop outfit.
It was easier to visit a capitalist country, Finland, in the late Soviet Union than leave Australia. The first foreign trip had to be to a reliable socialist country like Bulgaria or Czechoslovakia, then you could visit Yugoslavia. After that Finland was doable. That’s like three years. Australians won’t be able to exit their island for at least that long.
The Civilizing effects of free trade!
They’ve backed themselves into a corner. The eliminationist sphere, other than China (which is opaque and proven dishonest that trusting it is foolish), is too small to support itself for a long period of time. The longer they try to keep fingers in the dikes, the more problems they will have when it breaks.
This. Over and over.
The only way this ends in Australia now is with politicians hanging from lamp posts.
Why aren’t they hanging those in the federal government on every lamp post in the country?
Do they lack woodchippers in Oz?
How do people simply accept being unable to leave for the better part of 3 years?
Many are the descendants of convicts in a penal colony, who after one small-ish nutjob shooting incident, rolled over and bared their bellies and let themselves be disarmed.
It’s like all my black inlaws, who despite being descended from slaves (and, well, slaveowners), are all anti Second Amendment, even when I bluntly point out that the prerequisite to being slaves was disarmament.
Now the Aussies are outgunned, not to mention a bunch of scared cunts, as they would put it.
Canadians are similar except rather than being descendants of convicts they are descendants of those who thought who opposed the American Revolution.
On the east coast anyways.
In my experience, Aussies are quite wanderlust-y, too.
Speaking of “cosmopolitan liberals” this brings to mind a serious problem we are facing. A lot if liberal ideas are predicated on the assumption that a rich educated urbanite who supports totalitarianism is literally impossible. Hell that was the entire basis of the “trade with china will liberate it”.
Of course the classical liberals believed a socialist public school teacher or city councillor was literally impossible too.
And until very recently a Communist University grad was considered literally impossible by most libertarians. Or at least that they would “grow out if it”.
Pretty much only rich educated urbanites support totalitarianism.
They’re sure they’ll be part of the Inner Party.
Thing is this is literally the exact opposite of what liberalitarians thought was going to happen. It was the yokels and the Catholic priests and aristocratic landowners who were the enemies of freedom. Since rich educated urbanites are not of these three groups they must support freedom, Right?
A bill banning vaccine passports is headed to Governor Kim Reynolds’ desk for her signature.
The newly passed bill prohibits, “the mandatory disclosure of whether a person has received a vaccination for COVID-19, disqualifying certain entities from receiving state grants or contracts.”
That includes universities and businesses required to obtain a sales tax permit.
Nonprofits or establishments open to the public are also included.
It would not apply to health care facilities.
So, asked about this a couple days ago with no response. Worth another shot.
Want to try using the heavy bag in my gym for some extra cardio. Found a couple vids with some suggestions. Gave it a shot today after 45 min on the treadmill. Surprisingly enough, very enjoyable. Very viscerally satisfying to go all out on something for a while. Real adrenaline boost too even after a workout. However, wearing just my weightlifting gloves – i started ripping up my knuckles up on the 2nd round.
Can anyone recommend some decent/cheap gloves for working out? I probably won’t do much more than the occasional workout – not planning on getting into real boxing or anything – most likely. Will probably take my weighted jump rope with me next time and try alternating.
I got a pair of Venom-brand gloves off Amazon a while back. Can’t remember offhand if they were that pricey but I’m kind of a cheapskate so they couldn’t have been too ridiculously overpriced.
Sorry, Fish, meant to reply yesterday.
If your knees are giving you crap and you need more cardio, there’s always swimming (if that’s a realistic option) or rowing. Or even, if you decide to find your inner Goggins, the (cue ominous dum dum dum music) Assault Bike.
Swimming isn’t a bad idea. There is a pool on base…need to check hours – haven’t done that in a long time….but might be worth it.
I had a stationary schwinn for a few years (had to sit on a folded towel on top of the seat), but lately my tailbone/coccyx is absolutely killing me – finally got an appt to get an x-ray next month. Same thing that keeps me off the stationary rowers the last few years – used to be my thing while I was active duty.
Are those venom gloves the “kickboxer”/mma type or the full boxing style? I think I can get away with simpler if it protects my knuckles.
Oh yeah, and as far as my knees – on the treadmill right now I’m just walking 3.5-4 mile pace at 8-12% incline. I prefer ellipticals, but I’ve found that machines and natural comfort levels vary drastically. The “navy standard” life fitness model is acceptable, but nowhere near as comfortable for longterm use as the ones at my last 24 hr gym – don’t recall that model though,
I responded! I have a pair of Venum gloves, but just get some cheapish gloves in 14 oz or so and go to town. You want good padding, and heavier gloves provide better conditioning. Forty bucks should do it. You don’t need the high-end ones, as you’re not competing and don’t need some sort of equipment advantage. Learn the basics on youtube, do couple-minute intervals hard, with 30 seconds of recovery. It’s good cardio, and yes, good adrenaline. I’d get some wraps, too. I was hitting the bag without them, and it jacked up my wrists.

Sorry, probably missed it if it was a dead thread. ;p I’ll take a look. Thanks for the suggestion.
I have a pair of Everlast, but I bought them a long time ago.
Maybe ask Trigger Hippy?
I’d suggest bicycling gloves.
Do cycling gloves have padding on the back of the hand?
Some leather reinforcement, tho nothing that I would consider padding. What are you doing that would require padding on the back of the hand? All I can come up with that would require such padding involve lite BDSM, but then, my wife’s nickname for me is Pervert Boy.
The gloves I wear daily are black surgical gloves under thick leather gardening gloves, because I basically get an all day crossfit workout hauling heavy stuff through the yard I’m landscaping.
He said he was working on a heavy bag and tore his knuckles up. He needs the appropriate gloves.
Switch to boxing gloves for the heavy bag? If you’re gonna simulate boxing, use the specialty equipment used by boxers.
That is not what I said at all. There are bag gloves with padding and clench bars in the palms that are good about protecting your knuckles. Wrapping the knuckles is an extra measure of protection.
I used to do a little boxing and I have torn my knuckles open on a heavy bag before, but I never used boxing gloves on a heavy bag. That’s just silly.
I can vouch for the quality on these and the wrist lock design. I used the 3-4 times per week on a Thai bag for the past three years. Still holding up strong. https://rivalboxing.us/products/rival-rb10-intelli-shock-bag-gloves
However…I came a ross another gentleman with these, and find them just as good. https://www.hayabusafight.com/products/hayabusa-t3-lx-boxing-gloves?variant=31261395419249
Its not something you really want to go cheap on because you can go through a pair of cheap gloves really fast.
*looks at Amazon delivery tracker that says it’s the next street over (behind the house across the street from me) and has 9 stops before me*
*looks out window and sees Amazon van*
*wonders what kind of daft logistics algorithm would have them dropping off at 9 other houses before driving the 100 yards to my house*
He’s supposed to go down the next street first and then come up this one?

NASCAR is the most efficient autosport, it is known.
In Australia?
I refer, of course, to the well known BASCAR minor league.

Worms for dinner? Europe green-lights insect-based food in a bid to promote meat-free protein
This is What Our Elites Actually Believe!
More like what they want the plebes to believe.
I’m getting mighty sick of those assholes pushing insects as food. I ain’t eatin it.
What until your meat has been banned as an emergency measure and until Big Business “voluntarily” ends meat production.
These are people who probably saw the diet work on the Lion King.
Am I the only one who’s going to comment on “brien” shrimp?
I used up all my anti-Mick racism last month.
I find mine is a renewable resource.
Trying to decide if that’s like the racist elephant in the woodpile, but too buzzed and zenned out to give a fuck.
It was moderately funny and simultaneously horrifying, like many of my wife’s inlaws.
To go with the potatoes? https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/obrien-potatoes-recipe-1937481
Oh hell yeah. One of my favorites from childhood. Frozen, of course. Which I can’t find anywhere around here. >:/
I have a seizure whenever I run across a recipe that calls for an ‘Idaho Potato’.
There’s more than one variety of Idaho Potatoes.
Every time I see those damn things I think back to receiving that sweet postal package of disappointment circa 1976. Even to this day it was the biggest letdown I’ve ever payed money for and I once owned a Renault.
I hear that. About the sea monkeys, not the Renault. Never had one of those.
“ant farm”. Also wildly disappointing.
But it looked so good in the back of that comic book. The five hundred piece set of Civil War soldiers sucked too.
“ant farm”. Also wildly disappointing.
Not to mention the extraterrestrial variety.

“A newly discovered species of ant from Ecuador has been named with the suffix “-they”, rather than a traditional gendered Latin suffix, to celebrate gender diversity.
The ant was discovered by Philipp Hoenle at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, in 2018. He sent a photograph to taxonomic expert Douglas Booher at Yale University, who recognised it as a new species in the genus Strumigenys.
In contrast to traditional species-naming practices, which only recognise one of two distinct genders with the suffixes “-ae” for women and “-i” for men, Booher suggested using the gender non-binary identifier “they” instead, naming the ant Strumigenys ayersthey after artist and human rights activist Jeremy Ayers.
Ayers was a protégé of Andy Warhol in the 1970s under the pseudonym of Silva Thinn. He died in 2016. “He identified as a gay man outside of his Warhol character, but I’m naming it after him with the suffix added to include all non-binary people for his activism,” says Booher.”

HM has already weighed in with his disdain of their Latin butchery (there’s already a suitable genderless Latin suffix instead of hacking it up with ‘they’).
There is a bird imitating a car alarm. I want to kill it.
No, really, tell us owl that makes you feel.
This would make more sense as a tweet
Didn’t Harper Lee write a book about that?

The mentally ill Puritans strike again.
I’m surprised they didn’t lose it over the vagina pheromones wafting out of the yin yang contents of the coffee cup.
Or maybe it is splooge splashing. Some ambiguity.

Counterpoint- If you ever criticized Rob Liefled for his inability to draw feet and that one Captain America cover, you shouldn’t begrudge people making similar points about someone drawing impossibly proportioned females.
Yes, but RL literally can’t draw feet. And he has no idea how many teeth humans have.
Neither do I if I’m being perfectly honest. maybe 28?
Excluding wisdoms yeah. See you are already better
It’s a comic book. Impossibly proportioned is standard fare, regardless of gender.
And so is criticism of bad attempts at each. “this guy draws The Hulk with ridiculously large calves” is honest criticism, but “This guy draws Pig Girl with a ridiculously large ass” is wokeism writ large?
As a non-fan of comics, I find either of these discussions rather quaint.
According to the linked tweeter, yes. The criticism is not about the art itself at all.
It’s the Woke version of the Morality in Media sanitized movies.
Except they just cut stuff, they don’t try to change it
Any bets on how this same guy would react if a woman wearing that outfit (from the unedited panel, obviously) were raped, and someone said it was because she was “hypersexualizing” herself?
I wish I could do “agree to disagree”, but it’s hard with social justice issues. The arguing is exhausting. The derision is exhausting. But these conversations need to occur.
No they don’t.
Go fuck yourself.
The only place actual grass grows in my yard is the flower beds. The ‘lawn’ is all clover and weeds.
Let the clover grow and get some bees?
Ahhh! We have the same landscape service!
Any else looking forward to rule by a corporate oligarchy that is in theory separate from the ruling party yet in reality completely in bed with it and it doing its bidding? Rather like how Communist countries in theory have civil liberties and in theory don’t ban opposition parties yet do so anyway?
According to my wife, that’s unpossible, even when I give specific, detailed instances of how mask mandates do exactly that.
Over the course of the past few weeks, prolly went into 30, 40 stores, and don’t recall a single person other than me not masked up. On the plus side, no one said a gotdamn thing about me ignoring the signage.
What’s good for Facebook is good for America.
No?
I’m getting frustrated with my efforts to get my mother a corsage for mother’s day to wear to church. HyVee has screwed me over 3 times so today I went somewhere else and the corsage they came up with is butt ugly. What do I have to do to get what I want? It’s not hard: 5 baby yellow carnations, greenery and baby’s breath, and a white ribbon. This should not be this hard!!!
My concert event went live today.
