Speaking of whacko white people with guns, this guy carried his AR-15 (with 100 round drum) around Atlanta airport and the entire news coverage is about if he crossed am imaginary line. http://m.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/man-raises-eyebrows-carrying-gun-through-atlanta-a/nmTFS/ "He took photos and videos of himself in the airport. Cooley then sent those videos to Channel 2 Action News via Facebook." gently caress this dangerous rear end in a top hat.

Bonus quote of the night, "Working people and small business owners in distress worry us more than the metrics used to measure it." ~ Craig Crawford, with Jim Webb's campaign. What say ye, Pataki? Can we go a full day without hearing from Mark Everson on this important issue?

Breathtakingly insensitive quote of the night: "Joe Biden … You know what the nice thing is? You don’t even need a punch line. I promise you it works. At the next party you’re at, just walk up to someone and say, ‘Vice President Joe Biden,’ and just close your mouth. They will crack up laughing." ~ Ted Cruz

None of the 19 women who began Army Ranger school have yet to pass, however 3 of them are still in the program. This is an interesting attempt to integrate women into combat roles, and is actually going better than a lot of people probably expected, here is a good Washington Post article with some statistics: http://www.washingtonpost.com/poste...y-a-good-thing/ quote:Indeed, when women started the opening phase of Ranger School for the first time in April, alongside them were 71 men who had already entered the course, hadn’t made it through, and had the strength, guts and determination to return to try once more. More than a third of all soldiers who finish Ranger School “recycle” through at least one of the phases, so the women who didn’t make it to the end this time are in solid statistical company. About 35 men who started alongside these women won’t receive the chance to start again. Instead, they will return to their units now without having another shot. And of course here is a link to a terrible Imgur post full of misogynistic teenagers rallying against a strawman that doesn't exist. http://imgur.com/gallery/PJl9HZh

Rhesus Pieces posted:He's exactly like the Bundy Ranch yahoos in that he thought waiting out in the desert armed to the teeth hoping for your perceived mortal enemy to confront you and take the first shot was an awesome idea that couldn't possibly backfire in any way. Their mentality is still very 19th century. They don't realize that in the 21st there are oh so many other ways to destroy people, ones that don't give you your desired moment of glory, and have minimal chance of blowback on them, like how a shootout in the desert would. An AR-15 would be a great way to resist tyranny in the 1800s. When raw force is the method of choice, more force is the counter, and weapons like that are a perfect example of that ethos. But raw force isn't the hook anymore. Now they will just use other, more arcane and bureaucratic ways to take you down. I think of it as the Singapore model.

Scrub-Niggurath posted:then how the gently caress are we supposed to pay for our mcdonalds dollar menu items You can barely get anything at McDonalds for a dollar anymore. They're in bad shape right now because they've been slowly jacking up the prices on the same crap food they've had for decades. Nobody wants to pay seven bucks for a dried out Big Mac or quarter pounder when you can get a high quality burger at a premium chain for a dollar extra.

As part of a national health initiative today, the CDC announced that they are ordering the Treasury to stop creating pennies and absorb all of the pennies currently in circulation as soon as possible. The Treasury resisted at first, until the head of the CDC released the following statement, "We've got anthrax and smallpox you know, don't you loving test us."

Stereotype posted:McDonalds is pretty cheap when you're buying a hundred chicken nuggets for $20. 100 nuggs = ~3.5 lbs. Average price of boneless chicken breast is ~$3.50/lb, so 3.5 lbs = $12.50. You do still have to prepare the chicken, but c'mon. Spend 30 minutes grilling or roasting or whatevering some chicken and eat healthier, better-tasting food than nuggets.

Yeah but you're not spending the 30 minutes with the chicken, you're spending 2 minutes putting the chicken in a pan in a 350 degree oven. Optional second step: spend 45 seconds applying barbecue sauce a few minutes before removing from oven.

You may as well people who like Taco Bell how much better real tacos are or people who like White Castle how much better a homemade hamburger is. Sometimes you crave some unhealthy junk.

Optional second step: spend 45 seconds applying barbecue sauce a few minutes before removing from oven. Eh, even if you concede the 30 minutes on prep, cooking, serving, and cleaning, there are other benefits to doing it yourself. The aforementioned "healthier and better-tasting" are big ones, plus you get the personal satisfaction of producing something for yourself instead of being a passive consumer, some degree of choice over where the chicken comes from and how it was raised, the option to purchase chicken from a locally-owned business instead of a multinational corporation, and so on. Still might not be enough to make it the best choice for everyone, all the time, but it's a pretty compelling case for me personally. Vahakyla posted:I love making hamburgers at home from organic ingredients. It's not for proles, that's the point. Eating restaurant food is bourgeois, to stick with that terminology - it's typically more expensive than cooking for yourself. The culture of home cooking is being massively eroded by food processors that stand to gain by convincing people that that's not true, or at least that the convenience of packaged food outweighs the additional cost. How true that is also up for debate, and at any rate will vary from person to person. Also, yes, everyone (who isn't just insufferably sanctimonious) pigs out on junk occasionally. For me that's usually Chinese buffet or Pizzeria Pretzel Combos a few times a year, not Big Macs, but I'm with you in spirit. That said, it's nice to not make that the foundation of your diet if you can help it. P.S. I hope my posts haven't come off as smug (at least not sincerely so). I'm acutely sensitive to the danger of condescending to people in tougher socioeconomic situations than myself about what they eat or where they buy it. P.P.S. I guess this is kind of a derail, so sorry about that - although the politics of food are a pretty big deal, too. Supraluminal fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Jun 4, 2015 |
