SniperWoreConverse posted:the first year I moved in 8 houses on my street burned down. The remaining ones all have someone living in them or the owners were compelled by the city to seal off all doors and windows on the first floor. Usually they'll use huge chunks of plywood. Someone robbed almost all the gutters and metal in the neighborhood a while ago. They stole my flowers and pear tree out of my god damned yard. They stole a gutter off my loving house and would have stole siding but luckily mine's vinyl. They stole my loving trash can. It was plastic and had one broken wheel. I really enjoyed this post, thank you

The nonchalance of boys who are sure of a dinner, and would disdain as much as a lord to do or say aught to conciliate one, is the healthy attitude of human nature. A boy is in the parlour what the pit is in the playhouse; independent, irresponsible, looking out from his corner on such people and facts as pass by, he tries and sentences them on their merits, in the swift, summary way of boys, as good, bad, interesting, silly, eloquent, troublesome. He cumbers himself never about consequences, about interests: he gives an independent, genuine verdict. You must court him: he does not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness. As soon as he has once acted or spoken with eclat, he is a committed person, watched by the sympathy or the hatred of hundreds, whose affections must now enter into his account. There is no Lethe Web Site for this. Ah, that he could pass again into his neutrality! Who can thus avoid all pledges, and having observed, observe again from the same unaffected, unbiased, unbribable, unaffrighted innocence, must always be formidable. He would utter opinions on all passing affairs, which being seen to be not private, but necessary, would sink like darts into the ear of men, and put them in fear. These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world.Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. Society is a joint-stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs. Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world. I remember an answer which when quite young I was prompted to make to a valued adviser, who was wont to importune me with the dear old doctrines of the church. On my saying, What have I to do with the sacredness of traditions, if I live wholly from within? my friend suggested,--"But these impulses may be from below, not from above." I replied, "They do not seem to me to be such; but if I am the Devil's child, I will live then from the Devil." No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only wrong what is against it. A man is to carry himself in the presence of all opposition, as if every thing were titular and ephemeral but he. I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions. Every decent and well-spoken individual affects and sways me more than is right. I ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways. If malice and vanity wear the coat of philanthropy, shall that pass? If an angry bigot assumes this bountiful cause of Abolition, and comes to me with his last news from Barbadoes, why should I not say to him, 'Go love thy infant; love thy wood-chopper: be good-natured and modest: have that grace; and never varnish your hard, uncharitable ambition with this incredible tenderness for black folk a thousand miles off. Thy love afar is spite at home.' Rough and graceless would be such greeting, but truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it,--else it is none. The doctrine of hatred must be preached as the counteraction of the doctrine of love when that pules and whines. I shun father and mother and wife and brother, when my genius calls me. I would write on the lintels of the door-post, Whim. I hope it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend the day in explanation. Expect me not to show cause why I seek or why I exclude company. Then, again, do not tell me, as a good man did to-day, of my obligation to put all poor men in good situations. Are they my poor? I tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dollar, the dime, the cent, I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong. There is a class of persons to whom by all spiritual affinity I am bought and sold; for them I will go to prison, if need be; but your miscellaneous popular charities; the education at college of fools; the building of meeting-houses to the vain end to which many now stand; alms to sots; and the thousandfold Relief Societies;--though I confess with shame I sometimes succumb and give the dollar, it is a wicked Dollar which by and by I shall have the manhood to withhold. -Ralph Waldo Emerson, from Self-Reliance

So did that retard Nunes ever release his super ultra mega top secret memo he wrote in crayon that says all of Secret President Hillary's crimes using the FBI? Because conservative media hasn't shut the gently caress up about it in a week and are still on this stupid thing. "Release the Memo!"  "Um, isn't you party in control and you can just release the memo yourself?"  ..."RELEASE THE MEMO!"

It's basic cult leader poo poo. You tune out 99% of it, but then you hear something like "The coal mines are opening back up people, jobs for days. Clean coal!" and if you're a coal miner that sounds good. You forget all the dumb poo poo and just leave thinking that Trump was speaking directly to you. And let's not kid ourselves, Trump's base is basically a cult right now. They don't listen to facts, they defend EVERYTHING Trump does, and they would most likely drink poison Flavor-Aid if Trump said it would stop immigration or something.

Jared is hard at work on the opioid crisis. Maybe he enjoyed watching The Wirequote:Philadelphia, with the highest opioid death rate of any major American city, this week announced plans to encourage the opening of sites where people can inject drugs under medical supervision. E: lol quote:Police commissioner Richard Ross stepped up to the podium to say that he still has questions about how such sites would operate, and how his officers would police the areas around them.

Some time ago I watched a short film on the Gun Shop Project, which is this ongoing project sponsored by some mental health organisations that gave basic, free mental health training to participating gun store owners and employees. And the whole premise was super simple: if you see someone coming into a gun store looking depressed or down, ask them if they are okay, offer a cup of coffee and a few minutes to talk, and maybe give them a card to free counseling services. You know basic human decency and compassion that may just save someone from suicide or prevent an impulsive act of violence. But nope, the video was down voted massively, and all the comments were people screaming about how the liberals and the NWO and UN blue helmets are coming to take our guns and imprisoning gun owners in mental institutions.

I've shot guns since I was 16 and have owned guns for 10 years now. I can unequivocally say gun owners are their own worst enemies. Some of the dumbest people I've ever met. And we're in Canada where you have to pass a somewhat competent licensing course.

TulliusCicero posted:This completely. Why the gently caress are you fantasizing about defending yourself in the first place? Lots of white people are incredibly scared (mostly of minorities) and even paranoid; the steady diet of Fox and Breitbart and the like has long since whipped such fears and paranoia into a frothing torrent of batshit insanity. It reminds me a bit of the "stranger danger" thing in the 80s/90s. My friends and I spent a lot of our early childhoods convinced that there were slews of kidnappers waiting around every corner for the chance to grab us, even though it was and still is rare for children to be kidnapped by total strangers. e: Oh, yeah, and the whole "gubmint!" thing. Which always makes me  because lots of gun fans vote Republican, and they love to regularly bloat the military to gargantuan proportions, militarize the police, etc. So if the government ever did decide to show up on your doorstep and take away your freedoms, it would actually just be some dude at a computer would drop you dead with a fancy drone before you got a chance to use your collection of automatic rifles.
