All I know about LF was that Lowtax got visited by the Secret Service, then used that as an impetus to shut LF down. What was some of the poo poo "the 4" got up to, aside from that whole "threatening the president" bit?

They, in an incredibly obviously sarcastic manner, "threatened" to kill Obama and that got the Secret Service to visit Lowtax.

One dude literally said "I can see where Marine One takes off from my office, what's the range on an RPG?" The Secret Service usually doesn't see the humor in that.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. My only real point is that it's a really, really loving dumb idea to threaten the president no matter how much hyperbole or """irony""" you might be using.

It's like cracking jokes about bombs at the airport metal detector. Sure everyone there can obviously tell you're joking, or at least not a real threat. But they can't afford to allow even the impression that an "it's a prank, bro" defense will hold water. It's more about setting examples and creating deterrence for when a real threat arises. Then again it would probably be smarter to let actual terrorists/assassins think it's safe to plan in the open so they can be nabbed, than to scare them into hiding in darker places where nobody will rat them out.

Doing a Google search on LF caused me to stumble upon this old Reddit thread.quote:I guess never meet your hero has never been as relevant as it has been now. quote:Your default narrative setting is not apolitical quote:SJW ideology fills a religion-shaped hole, in a world where religion (with thanks to scientific advancement and education) is less and less relevant. It has the same "chosen one" feeling as religion (you are one of the select few who truly 'sees' the world as it is (false consciousness etc)) but it also massages the ego, in that it's wrapped up in a thin veneer of intellectualism. It's not intellectual in any way, of course, but since academia as a whole is considered to be an intellectual arena, and humanities departments are the breeding-ground of SJW ideology - if you are particularly vulnerable to the cognitive bias that is the Dunning-Kruger effect (as many of these people seem to be) then SJW ideology can make you feel very important and intelligent indeed. quote:Saw this on 8chan (I think) a while ago and saved it copying here: Edit: Still not over "Robocop Ideology".

That infodump is largely accurate except for the thing about 2/3 of the way through that suggests that "putting a little extra effort into your own life so as not to be a dick to other people who might be having a tough time at theirs" is something only an ENEMY COLLABORATOR would do

Someone posted this story about how stacking rocks near streams can cause a negative impact on the ecosystem. It was a nice little story, something to you know, consider, no big deal to 99.99999% of people in 99.999999% of their lives. But the comments are just.... like someone beat up their mama. The vitriol! The name calling! Over some goddamn rocks!? http://www.centredaily.com/sports/outdoors/article86051077.html Edit: The comments have gotten worse since I first saw it posted quote:You know it's libtards doing this thinking that they are improving nature with they little artsy stacked stones (after all it started in Western States) and it's liberal getting pissed thinking it's destroying nature as if the stones would not be moved by the river or heavy rains.

zakharov posted:One dude literally said "I can see where Marine One takes off from my office, what's the range on an RPG?" The answer for an RPG-7 is about 200 or less if you want a 50% or better chance of a hit. 500 is about the max if you want any chance of hitting anything. However, they self destruct at about 950m, which can be used for bombardment. You know, if it ever matters.

It's hilarious how ridiculously offended so many people get when you ask them to just leave something alone. Some people really hate the entire concept of Leave No Trace because it takes away from their FREEDOMS.

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:It's like some really weird version of the Last Supper: Judas is down in front, wearing the olive-colored tie, and Peter is on the right with his hair slicked up into a unicorn horn. Of course all of the cosplayers are the ones bitching about SA policy. Am I right in assuming that they wouldn't even be cosplaying those characters if not for the translations done by goons? Because my only experience with this whole fiasco has been through the Retsuprae videos on the games. So now if you just come out with a correct or fact that does not line up with their preconceived views than it MUST have come from snopes. Cause I didn't see any linking to Snopes in those comments by the guy goes "Well you can't trust Snopes!" like it's just a natural reaction to someone disagreeing with you.

Luckily it's safe to assume that the idiots in the comments would never go to these nature preserves. But I can't help but picture the South Park "I thought this was AMERICA!" everytime someone tells you something you might be doing is harmful.

But they can't afford to allow even the impression that an "it's a prank, bro" defense will hold water. It's more about setting examples and creating deterrence for when a real threat arises. I had something like this happen. I was going back home after visiting my grandparents in Boston (though I took the plane from NYC since I was also visiting friends there), and I had the bright idea of keeping some of my grandpa's old WW2 bullets in my pocket. I realized before getting to the metal detector that this just might be a problem, so I walk up to one of the TSA guys and ask him "so I have these old bullets do I need to throw them out or package them differently?" The guy then gets this "oh jesus christ" look on his face and tells me that he knows I'm not a threat but that he has no choice but to report this. He said that if I had thrown them away without telling anyone it would have been fine, but as soon as he found out he had no choice but to detain me, even if I let him confiscate the rounds. So I sit down for a while and chat with the TSA people (one of whom recognized one of the rounds as being one that is used in the machine gun he used when he was in the army) and then this policeman comes over. I talk to him and he says that if the rounds are live that I would have to come back for a court date, but that I could go ahead and take my flight (obviously sans bullets). While in the plane waiting for it to leave, I get called out by the policeman again. Fortunately they discovered that the rounds were not live, and as a result I didn't break any laws and wouldn't have to go to court. Unfortunately this also meant I missed my flight, though I had friends in the area and didn't have a problem rescheduling it for the next day. Definitely one of the dumbest things I've ever done. Even though I ended up missing the flight in the end, the TSA people were all very good about trying to take care of the situation as fast as possible, since they all felt kind of bad for me.
