  1. This is America. Just call them "school kids" and you can shoot as many as you want.
  2. Yep. Any day that you get exactly what you've asked for, over and over and over, should be a day of celebration, not mourning. This is America, functioning EXACTLY as they want it to, and exactly as they've worked so hard for. We should be dancing in the streets, not being sad.
  3. Which is, post-Bruen, the most sacrosanct, powerful element of the entire constitution. It's a super-Amendment, because it simultaneously 1) locks in all laws as of 1790 as the only regulations that can exist, and 2) empowers SCOTUS to ignore even those 1790 era laws that they don't want to acknowledge. It may as well be re-written to "all the guns, for all people, at all times, with no limitations." Because that's functionally what it means post-Bruen. Remember, when the other SCOTUS justices in subsequent opinions said "well....maybe it doesn't go THAT far," the author, the brilliant Clarence Thomas, said "the fuck it doesn't!"
  4. He sounds like a libtard who shoudl promptly be removed from office.
  5. It is the most American thing America ever Americad. Well....okay....it's up there with the Fugitive Slave Act, but still.
  6. Bingo. If the byproduct of school shootings is to end school.....then that's a happy bonus for the folks we've decided to put in charge. "Wait....guns everywhere, AND abolish schools?"
  7. I've tried caring, and taking lots of steps. It doesn't work. It's tiring. It's frustrating in its futility. Trust me on this -- not giving a fuck, and just looking out for you and yours, is the only way. It also happens to be THE AMERICAN WAY, so double bonus: by relieving yourself of the burden of caring about anyone other than yourself, you are ALSO doing your patriotic duty!
  8. Y'all get it. We are what we are. And we chose to be this way. As a society, we really should stop complaining about "hey, this society continues to function exactly like we have chosen for it to function!" It's just pathetic. We're getting what we want, and what we consistently choose. Complaining about getting exactly what you chose is stupid.
  9. So.....if our military is conducting military exercises, particularly involving relatively new and fast-developing tech.....we should have an open book explaining to everyone what we're doing? Gosh, why didn't we think of that at Los Alamos? Shoulda just taken down the gates and let the public sit in on work sessions for building the atomic bomb. I mean, goddammit, look at just one of the statements about this super-duper real phenomenon: Man, they've got us there! There's no possible explanation for that! Except.... 1) If it is an ordinary aircraft, it's much easier to see the full shape/silhouette in daylight, so there's no misidentification of a 737 as a drone. People don't report "drones" during the day, because most all of the things they can see flying are easily identified as ordinary aircraft. That is different than at night, where aircraft look like....a collection of lights. Which can be mistaken/characterized as....a mysterious object in the sky. Same reason nobody reports seeing stars during the day. 2) To the extent that there ARE drones (and surely some are flying somewhere), they are usually relatively small, and at altitude, not easy to see unless you are really looking for them in daylight hours. Contrast to night, when they have lights that make them much more visible and are likely to draw a person's attention. So.....WHY are there way more reports of drones during the night than during the day? I just gave two common-sense answers. Note that those answers are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND IN THE FUCKING FRANTIC DISCUSSIONS HAPPENING. People don't want to look at the simplest, most likely answers. They want there to be SOMETHING HAPPENING, because that's fucking human nature.
  10. These. Dbeasy, you are standing in the rubble asking for the bombing to stop. It doesn't fucking matter anymore. All that is left is rubble. The only fight left in this country is 1) who gets to be king of the ashes, and 2) how much blood/money can they squeeze out of the suckers who remain, walking among the ashes?
  11. Whatever. Meh. This is what we've chosen, this is how we want things to be. Honestly, if you have even the tiniest desire to see things get better.....you need to be rooting for them to get much, much, worse. Like, incomprehensibly worse. Like, massacres of 50 kids a day in schools, every day. We have demonstrated that we have a very, very high pain threshold. We don't even flinch at shit like Sandy Hook or Uvalde. The only thing that MIGHT get our attention is a Sandy Hook and Uvalde every single day. Things are going to have to get much, much, much worse before they have a prayer of getting better. So, that means rooting for more pain, death, and suffering. If any of you see another path forward, I'm all ears, but it sure seems like "we the people" have spoken clearly on this point.
  12. Or, we've just seen stupid mass panic before and recognize the signs. Not a single one of the known things you posted about is NEWS. Drones over US military installations? A known thing that has happened, not a new phenomenon. At airports? Yep, same. And citing state governors and shit ain't the flex you think it is. An incoming US Senator posted his concerns....which he then had to walk back when he was shown definitively that he was freaking out about airplanes. Yes....there are drones flying over military installations. Yes....it MAY be a cause for concern (depends on whose drones they are....if they are ours, I doubt we're going to be squawking about it much). Presuming they are not ours....do you think that Mildred from Parsippany knows more about it than the actual military that is on those bases? Do you think she's spotted something that the military doesn't know about? And presuming the answer is as obvious as it is IF they aren't ours....do you think the military is just shrugging its shoulders and saying "oh well, no biggie, nothing we can do?" Come the fuck on. If there's one thing this country is really good at, it's war. And don't tell me we're not plugged into the cutting edge of drone use in combat -- it's one of the primary dividends we're getting from our assistance to Ukraine. Occam's. Fucking. Razor.
  13. I think I was fine under anesthesia (that is, my body was fine, no adverse reaction to any major functions). It just gave me a fucking hangover like a mofo. And the hangover cure of Fentanyl did jack shit (whereas I know that vicodin is like magic for me -- I've taken a leftover pill for a stubborn migraine, and a badly tweaked muscle, and it helped tremendously with both). But then, my wife has an allergic reaction to vicodin and codeine, and pukes. So, yeah, everyone is a bit different.
  14. The thing is, we don't have to reinvent the wheel. The EU has some pretty decent regulations on potentially harmful food additives. We could just adopt those, and be done with it. The United States is not the only country on the planet, we're not the only people to consider the question of chemical food additives. Now, is that what he's proposing? Almost certainly not, because he's a fucking crackpot. But there is a non-crackpot approach to this that would be both good and easy. And this. Seriously. Pasteurizing milk and developing and administering a variety of vaccines are some of the greatest achievements in human health, ever. If you add "provide clean drinking water, and provide for the removal and treatment of sewage" to the list, and you've now listed the things most responsible for reducing human deaths in the entirety of human history. Going after these things as "bad" is among the dumbest positions ever held by any human being. Yet, here we are.
  15. Coming out of surgery a coupla years ago, I had a post-anesthesia headache that was BRUTAL. They gave me some Fentanyl for it. It might as well have been an M&M. It did NOTHING for my pain. Like, nada. Your mileage may vary.
  16. It was fascinating, was listening to NPR this morning. They had a dude on who was the leader of the big Hispanic evangelical group. When the interviewer pressed him on Trump's positions, his take was essentially "We believe that Trump will do the things he said he would do that we support....but we don't think he'll do the things he said he would do that we don't support." It is still amazing, it still blows my mind. Trump says he will do 10 things. They vote for him because they totally support him doing the first 5 things, and believe he'll do them because "Trump keeps his promises." Then on the next 5 things, they think they are terrible ideas, and even though he said he will do them, he won't really, because "Trump just says things." These thoughts come out of the same supporter's brain in the same minute. It's fucking incredible.
  17. Almost certainly unnecessary. But if a huge chunk of your constituents were loudly shrieking about the threat of tiger attacks, you'd make some announcement about setting tiger traps in strategic locations. Because stupid people cannot be convinced not to be stupid.
  18. See....what it is....is drones being flown by the Deep State, to sap our precious bodily fluids, in coordination with the migrant caravan coming up from Mexico, and SOROS! GEEZ, DO YOUR RESEARCH, SHEEPLE!
  19. This. Of course there are, at places and times, drones flying. That is far different than "there is a massive outbreak of drones invading New Jersey." It's super different than "there is a massive outbreak of drones invading New Jersey as part of a false flag dirty bomb attack intended to derail Trump's inauguration," which is where this story is right now. Take a tiny kernel of truth (yes, drones exist, and surely a handful have flown somewhere over NJ in recent weeks) and turn it into a massive outbreak and conspiracy and DO SOMETHING! SHOT THEM DOWN!!!!
  20. Pro tip: if you’re making beef stew and adding veggies like peas, add them at the very end. Also, if you’re adding onions and garlic, brown those as well first (onion for a while, garlic for a minute or so only). And if you have any fresh herbs…a sprig or two of fresh thyme is next-level.
  21. Preventing deadly/debilitating childhood diseases is for woke libtards. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!
