Coucho Marx posted:This reminds me of an episode of Doomsday Preppers (of the maybe six episodes I've seen?). There was a family who lived in a pretty rural area (I think they always had) who, instead of stocking up on shitloads of guns or whatever, just grew loads of fruit and vegetables in a large garden/small farm, and kept chickens and some other livestock. One of them basically said "well, if World War 3 never comes, who cares, we have a very healthy diet and spend basically nothing on food, so win/win!". Doomsday Preppers owns and is a great source of schadenfreude. https://youtu.be/wHOog45llUU Also they had an Orthodox Jew from Pittsburgh on there once who followed up with a message that he had returned to Israel because America was in too much danger of a terrorist attack  Edit: goddammit I missed like three posts

I'll give you another chance, but there need to be some rules. Rule 1: When some guy repeatedly tells you he's about to take a shot, then un-ironically says, "fire in the hole," make sure you have proper ear protection. Edit: All "dude"s spoken by a guy pushing 50 from one side or the other.

Wheat Loaf posted:I've got to say, though, as a non-American, that it's pretty perplexing to me that Pelosi is still in charge. Ignore her actual positions for a moment (I'm of the opinion that a representative's constituents should take priority over their national responsibilities except when said representative is in a position, as Pelosi is, of national leadership) and imagine some scenario in which she's the most left-wing representative in the House with exactly the same leadership record. She has presided over something like three straight congressional terms of consistent decline for her party at this point. In most other countries, the knives would've been out for her long ago. She has an iron grip on her caucus and that is very important right now to block whatever Paul Ryan's death cult comes up with, even moreso when Dems win seats in 2018 and the margin gets closer. That kind of iron grip can take decades know learn how to exploit everyone's hopes and dreams and fears so that you can use them as leverage, and doesn't transfer easily to whoever takes over for her.

Turns out Trump was the subject of TIME's Person of the Year Not the way he expected, tho https://twitter.com/pbump/status/938389254589288448 quote:Discussions of sexual harassment in polite company tend to rely on euphemisms: harassment becomes "inappropriate behavior," assault becomes "misconduct," rape becomes "abuse." We're accustomed to hearing those softened words, which downplay the pain of the experience. That's one of the reasons why the Access Hollywood tape that surfaced in October 2016 was such a jolt. The language used by the man who would become America's 45th President, captured on a 2005 recording, was, by any standard, vulgar. He didn't just say that he'd made a pass; he "moved on her like a bitch." He didn't just talk about fondling women; he bragged that he could "grab 'em by the pussy."

SubponticatePoster posted:There is always someone next in line, and after VP they start going to members of Congress. If the POTUS/VP are removed at the same time then it goes to Speaker of the House (currently shithead Ryan), then to Pro Tempore of the Senate (currently shithead Hatch) and further on down. I suppose if a meteor struck the Capitol while Trump was giving the State of the Union and wiped out every single serving Rep and Senator we'd be in a bit of a pickle, but mostly from having to replace all those people at once. A man can dream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSyQvrb-caQ

In the slow-mo shot of the first guy firing, he closes his eyes right before/as he pulls the trigger. I haven't shot a rifle in 20 years but that doesn't sound like proper training/skill to me.

However, a close second for me is this 300lb dude who thinks his homemade suit of armor will make him "the apex predator" of Tacoma, WA after the fall of civilization, and he'll just take all the other preppers' poo poo. Of course it features his buddy (sort of) shooting him with a 12ga while wearing the armor. Bonus points for the "judges'" advice on his preparations being "Stop being part of the problem." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn3PQJ9PHLY That show was pretty entertaining in the beginning, they found some people with some interesting delusions and prepper setups: the hippie prepper who learned to identify and eat weeds to survive around LAs hellscape without stockpiling anything, the woman who makes her entire extended family eat Thanksgiving dinner as dress rehearsal for the inevitable disease outbreak (complete with surgical everything, plastic curtains, and quarantining guests who show up late). It's a terrible show but I was hopelessly addicted to it for a while.

There's a sign on the wall that says "BitHole" and some other stuff. You can wait in line here to get some food. You feel a little dizzy. >sit (on no bitcoins) That's not something you can sit down on. You're very dizzy. >wait in line You already got some food. You stumble, catch yourself, then fall over. You may have blacked out for a moment. You try to stand up. You get more dizzy. You vomit. Blood. It appears to be green. You think about this. It doesn't make sense, then it does. You have obviously turned into some kind of bitcoin supermutant. This worries you for a moment. Then you realise it means you're the next stage of human evolution. You're the world's first digital cryptohuman. You're the blockchain made flesh. You're the incarnation of Satoshi's collective unconscious. You're not sure about the last part, but you like the way it sounds. You are now in control. Formless Void Everything is shrouded in a misty haze. Shapes in the distance fade in and out of focus. Everything is made of shadows and flickers of light. You can see a Tax Collector here. >eat tax collector You bite into the tax collector. You'll spread your digital cryptomutation to all the tax collectors. As you sink your teeth into his flesh, there's a swirl of activity around you. There is noise from the shadows. You find yourself on the ground. The tax collector seems to have vanished. You're not sure what has happened. Perhaps your mutant superpowers disintegrated him. You stand. Shapeless Void Everything is shrouded in a hazy mist. Distances seem to expand and contract, pulsing. Shifting lights and shadows are everywhere. You can see a Government Regulator here. >eat government regulator You rip into the regulator's flesh with your teeth. He smells of stale sweat and leaves. You can feel the warm rush of digital cryptocurrency flowing through your mouth. The mathematical perfection of Satoshi's vision is enunciated in every bite mark. In the incoherent sounds of fear and anger of every government regulator who has ever tried to control what he couldn't possibly understand. The blood on your face is change. The body at your feet is revolution. The body is on the ground. You are on the ground. You do not know why you are on the ground. The government regulator is gone. You are standing. Digital Cryptovoid Everything is shrouded in peer-to-peer mist. Military-grade cryptography prevents the distances from double spending. The shadows are distributed and anonymous. Chargebacks are impossible. Impossible. You can see a Washington Fatcat here. >eat washington fatcat Your bite is a consumation. You scream a series of ones and zeros into the wound in the fatcat's flesh. You are the digital future made flesh. You go to encounter for the twenty-one millionth time the reality of cryptocurrency and to mine in the ASIC of your soul the uncreated market forces of the blockchain. You...you have no transaction fees. None. You howl at the sky, defying anyone, anything to reverse this transaction. You are suddenly surrounded by activity. You can't follow it all. You feel as if you're floating. You feel as if you're tumbling down. You feel the world shifting around you. This must be one of your powers. After a time you realise you're alone. You feel as though the world has telescoped down to a warm, soft circle around you. In time you come to realise that this means you've liberated the whole world. Everyone must now be part of the bitcoin network. Everyone is connected. Fiat is dead. Digital cryptocurrencies, whatever they are, have triumphed. As you come to this realisation you lean your forehead against one warm soft wall and laugh until tears flow down your face. You've won. You've won. You've won.
