People that care about gas prices seem so poor. If 50 bucks for a tank breaks the bank maybe you should get a better job

I haven't driven in months (woo U-Pass) so gas prices don't affect me directly but still, what a time to be living in, where the gas prices are almost hitting what they were 10 years ago

Now I don't give a gently caress and wish my tank was even bigger so I could bust three digits at the pump like the big truck men.

If 50 bucks for a tank breaks the bank maybe you should get a better job My uncle and cousin have always been the type of guys who think tehy absolutely must have a pickup truck no matter how much it flies in the face of practicality as far as their needs go. Needless to say they've both owned a long series of lovely trucks that constantly break down. Another important factor here is that they're both mechanically stupid and can't manage to maintain or fix anything, or have someone else fix it. As you can imagine they're both really vocal Republicans too. It's pretty hilarious to hear my uncle bang on about fiscal responsibility since he thought having his kids take out student loans to help pay for his business expenses was a good idea.

This, despite the fact that a) It's impossible to attribute the DDoS attack to the US, since DDoS attacks are insanely easy to pull off and effectively impossible to trace and b) If the US indeed has evidence to corroborate its claim that Best Korea is behind the attacks, the UN provides for it to respond with a proportional response.

So this NYPD thing. Count me as someone who is sympathetic to the police reform protesters. But even I went to a protest in November and heard the DEAD COPS NOW chant. The guy who killed those cops marched in one of those protests. And now people on my Facebook are outraged because cops and right-wingers are accusing them of inciting violence? You were demanding violence. I heard it with my own ears. All I can say is that if you're demanding violence against the police, and a war with the police, then don't be surprised when you get one. I don't have any truck with the shitshow that is the NYPD. But these activists really don't seem like they really ever thought through the implications of what they were doing. No surprise.

True story: had one of those dudes in my unit who loved/loves his truck more than life itself, and his girlfriend admitted to the rest of us that he did, in fact, have a tiny penis. It also seems that the only dudes who actually use their trucks for, you know, its utility... don't have giant loving trucks. Funny how that works out. That said, I can appreciate a good truck, but I'd never own one as a daily. I already have a car that has crappy fuel economy, don't need anything worse.

The guy who killed those cops marched in one of those protests. And now people on my Facebook are outraged because cops and right-wingers are accusing them of inciting violence? You were demanding violence. I heard it with my own ears. Mike Rowe wrote a long letter in response to someone asking him what he thought about the protests in SF, and he said "sure, root out bad cops and reform the police but maybe stop being an idiot and resisting arrest too" and "my black friend said he's sick of getting dragged into some 'controversy' because of two petty criminals like he's the same as them" so I just know it's going to make the rounds on tumblr/D&D within days But yeah the demanding violence thing is pretty scary at times. Whenever I've pointed it out (goons going 'loving kill McCulloch, lynch him in the street') the response is typically "that's just hyperbole, please don't get concerned" in an extremely snotty tone. One of the things I take a stand on these days is death/rape threats over the internet, which are gross and need to stop but won't stop until there's actually consequences for saying those things. In this case people condemn it except when it's about something they're e-angry over.

I think going "well that dude shot those cops therefore all discussion of police reform is moot, suck it libtards  " is disingenuous as gently caress. Wasn't that couple that shot those cops in Vegas inspired by right wing media? Why aren't folks trying to get Rush et. all shut down to protect police?Because that won't score points for their team.

The thing about protests is they don't have membership requirements, and crazy people love protests. Any right wing protest is going to get racists, really dumb people, and really dumb racists. Any left wing protest is going to get whiny white kids who yearn to have their own little revolutionary bloodbath. Both will have conspiracy theorists. This makes any opponent of any modern protest able to get easy sound bites of crazy people being crazy, discrediting the whole movement. I have a pet theory that a small part of what made union protests successful in the era of unionization was that social norms of the time enabled protestors to beat the living poo poo out of undesirable hangers-on.

Can I be in the camp that violence will never solve anything, that race relations in the US are pretty loving bad right now, not all cops are bad and that we need some police reform? Also news reforms because hearing an CNN anchor trying to justify the actions of the officiers invoices in the shooting of Tamir Rice was depressing as gently caress

Say what you will about Heinlein, but:quote:Anyone who clings to the historically untrue and thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never settles anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history that has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.
