SUCK LASER, COPPERS


On her other Facebook account, she said she was really glad that she and her boyfriend broke up when they did because she was fed up with having bad sex due to his circumcised dick. In the most dick-shaming way possible, like he had any choice in the matter.

Do people really sit around and think about dicks this much? I don't really have an opinion on male circumcision (because what difference does it make?) but I can't fathom the level of vitriol and obsession these people posses. Seriously though, how many times an hour does this woman think about dick? I have one and I don't think about it even a fraction of how much this woman thinks about men's reproductive organs.

Considering how many topics about female genital mutilation (female circumcision) I see get hijacked by men going 'WHAT ABOUT THE MEN WHO GET CIRCUMCISED?!', the answer is yes, probably they do.

Just based on random youtube searches; you get lots of videos titled "FREEMAN EXERTS RIGHTS AND MAGISTRATE DISMISS CASE" when in reality the court is thinking "I'm not dealing with this much poo poo for a £50 parking fine". They apparently exist in the UK which is crazy since their garbage makes even less sense in the UK than in does in the US...

It's simply a cult mentality. You don't see Scientologists giving up the first time they're told they are 'clear' and don't suddenly get superpowers. If something fails it's because you didn't believe enough or say the right thing at the right time. You created a joinder because you nodded your head when the judge said your name giving him evil magic powers over you not the fact your entire belief system is magic thinking.

Some of the laws they like to cite come from the UK. One I remember is a 17th century English law that says you're considered legally dead if you're lost at sea for seven years. Freemen pretend that it's still on the books, that if it were on the books it would apply outside of the UK, and that what it really means is that on your seventh birthday the state automatically stops thinking you exist unless you explicitly re-apply to not be considered dead.

Magic is right. Sovereign citizenry is legal mysticism - the core belief is that there is a hidden True Law (No liability! Free money!) accessible to the educated few that have unlocked the Secret Code (mostly UCC filings and liens combined with schizophrenic syntax). It's the idea of Revelation in the context of tax dodging.

I'm also curious why they've latched onto maritime law/land vs. water laws so much. To me it always reads like a second year physics student just choosing convenient variables to get the correct answer to a problem (that they looked up in the back of the book) but doing the problem wrong.

Let's see: competing with Amazon in two different dying brick-and-mortar businesses, with a bonus "catering to people who don't have any money" on the side. Why not throw a restaurant or coffee shop in there too and hit all the "basically guaranteed to fail" bases? The way I've heard it, basically the only way to survive starting any sort of business is to have enough startup money to not make any profit for at least a year.

These wonderful people are trying it with crowdfunding for starting capital.

Look, a "community art space" is great, but it's not a business. It's something a foundation or a museum or a local government or an independently wealthy philanthropist runs. Not a bookstore.

I was wearing a dog-tag that I got from an art festival near my town on Saturday. My coworker told me I needed to keep wearing it, and I was already pretty annoyed by it, so I said I was getting rid of it the next day. He said "Nah man, that's how you get the ladies! It gives them something to fiddle with, and it brings them really close to you! Have you ever heard of this show The Pickup Artist?" I laughed, and went on with my day.

Literally later that night I had that exact thing happen to me at a bar, the girl fiddling with it, coming real close, everything. The problem with PUA poo poo isn't that it won't increase your chances of getting laid, it just also requires seeing women as objects and numbers, and basing your life and self-worth around how many women you can trick into having sex with you. Also, there's the fact that you can just improve yourself as a human being and it'll work way better than strange formulas and manipulative tricks.

The problem is the guy is asking for money for "wonderful people" on facebook, and when the business is doing terrible in a year he'll probably ask for more or just close up and waste everyone time and money.

Not everyone that produces art is on the brink of starvation. Also, a community art space can be some pictures hanging on the wall from local artists. This is seriously the dumbest thing to nitpick about a store that wants to sell physical books and music in 2014.

Yes, that is a problem, but the way he said it presented the low-income thing as a separate problem, which it isn't. Asking money from poor people is bad; giving them something to do is not.

Maybe it was just poor wording, in which case I was wrong and I apologize.
