Again a very likpatous story
Black Panther is a movie I want to like more than I do, but I have some issues with it, though very obviously not the same issues that that dumbass Freeper had. In its favor I think the villain is fantastic, probably the best one in all the Marvel movies. On the other hand there's two complaints, one kind of inexcusable and one that is predictable but still disappointing. The inexcusable one is that the CG for the climax of the movie is really bad, it makes it feel like it was given a lower priority than the other Marvel movies which is kind of hosed up when you think about what the movie meant for the superhero genre. Two, the predictable but disappointing one, is the whole "US government are the good guys and T'Challa decides to become best buds with them." Again, I know, Disney isn't going to make a movie where the US government as a whole is an oppressive racist force like in the real world, but it still feels bad.

So yeah, I like the movie okay, I wish I liked it more, but that Freeper is absolutely just saying the movie sucked because it was about black culture and they're a racist shithead that thinks Africans live in mud huts and never contributed anything to the world.

i love Black Panther, but i have seen valid complaints about it. a movie blog i read complained that T'Challa was more reactive where in the comics he's proactive, and also didn't like that his intelligence had been toned down from "actual super-genius", which was mostly shuffled over to Shuri, to just "really smart guy".

also: is there a term for the opposite of virtue signaling? cause no one was talking about Black Panther, and it's not intended to be a funny movie so it wouldn't normally come up in that discussion, and that guy brought it up just so he could brag about how much he hated it.

This case is about when your actions waive the privilege of self defense, when you lose what the law calls "innocence" as one of the elements that prove self-defense.

It is well within the scope of a jury to conclude that threatening to blow a guy's head off and then doing exactly that constitutes waiving the privilege.

I don’t see a not guilty verdict. They chased a Black guy down a street, true he had been trespassing, but he was not eligible for a citizen’s address and they had no right to stop him. They should have just stayed on the 911 call and followed him.

Like a lot of people here, I’m in favor of the principle that the jury can decide the law as well as the facts (as it applies to a particular case).

I said before that the best defense for these guys was the LAW which permits civilians to detain a suspect under certain circumstances. That was their best defense because the facts in the case were not as good for them as the law.

But I can see that they jury could reasonably conclude that the law was being parsed by the defense to avoid the facts, and could JUDGE the law, as is their right, to be invalid under these particular circumstances.

I support the right to keep AND TO BEAR arms, but in the course of bearing arms, someone winds up dead, you are going to face a judge and sometimes a jury, and it happens that they don’t see things your way.

This was a close call. If they chased Arbery after he was found over a dead body with a bloody knife in his hand, they would not have been found guilty. If they caught him with stolen goods, they might not have been found guilty. But trespassing? If he went away in handcuffs and they were charged with brandishing or assault, they might walk.

But blowing his head off after uttering a threat to do that over a trespassing charge (on someone else’s property)? Guilty 99 times out of 100.

They got in their truck and drove after him. After a few minutes, they caught up to him...

The going after him in the truck after he ran off was the part they shouldn't have done. That's the police's job.

McMichael Sr knew Arbery and knew his record. Arbery wasn’t jogging in work boots and there had been a rash of thefts and break-ins, of cars AND houses. They knew a gun had been stolen from a car. The police WERE called and they intended to hold Arbery until the police got there. Arbery grabbed McMichael Jrs gun and fought him for it. Arbery lost. They aren’t guilty but may be convicted of being white.

I think it is terribly unjust.

Arbery could have just kept running. He could have stopped and waited for the cops to arrive. Instead he attacked Travis McMichael, grabbed his gun, and struck him in the head repeatedly.

I think the shooting was legitimate self defense.

It’s all about race now.

I don’t think this guy should have shot Aubrey, because Aubrey didn’t appear to present any immediate threat. But LE should have intervened earlier, because the only reason people become “vigilantes” is that their local law enforcement has failed.

And one of the reasons for this is that LEOs are reluctant to go after criminals who are not “white”. ”White” appears to include anybody of European descent, including Hispanics (who are of European descent, with some Indian and African admixtures, because the Spanish married anybody who was or could be Christian).

So we need better legitimate law enforcement in this country.
But not beat downs of peaceful protestors, as in Australia, Austria and many other places). Just the laws, ma’am.

This is like a blurry photo of another planet ; there are deep complexities to this level of racism that we'd have to spend years studying this withered old whackadoo to even scratch the surface of. They still use "Indian" to refer to Native Americans? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but then they bothered to capitalize it. They use the $6 word "admixture" meaning they've thought about this enough to have loving specialized vocabulary about it, they're casually dropping technical jargon! There seems to be some kind of reverse one-drop rule going on here where now just being partially European counts as European, even though it's usually just any amount of "black" makes you black ; is this the cause of the racial hierarchy, a reflex of it, or are these merely correlated and not causally related? Would it matter if there were different orders of European, Native American and African pairings? Is the Spanish supposedly being willing "anybody" also part of the hierarchy or just a parallel, different kind of racism? What the loving is "could be Christian" doing there? Does their twisted version of the doctrine say that some people are specifically beyond divine salvation and if so what's the logic?

The defense's argument (which a couple of Freepers parroted in their posts) is that Arbery wasn't actually jogging, he was out casing houses to rob later, as well as the construction site. They were saying that no one who was actually jogging would be out with no socks and gross toenails, so this is proof he wasn't actually jogging and was only there for crimes. This is also why they had that lady on the stand who was going on about how the neighborhood was living in fear from someone stealing a few things, so obviously anybody they saw that they didn't know was a prime suspect and you can't blame people for wanting to stop all the horrible crimes going on.

SOLAR PANELS FOR HOME

OP posted:

I have been researching putting Solar Panels on my home and would like to know out there who has done this. How did it work out and what suggestions or opinions do you have.

I live in Arkansas and my home seems to be a good candidate for Solar Panels, it is finding the right company and getting the price that makes sense.

So far on Monday I dealt with a company here in Arkansas and I received a estimate for $35,000, without a battery backup system. That would cost and extra $25,000. Well I can't make those numbers work even without the battery backup system.

The recommendation was for about a 9.62 KW system.

The plusses on any Solar System are a 26% Tax Credit on the cost of the system, plus my energy provider, Entergy, would buy my excess electricity and run that as a credit on my monthly Bill.

After talking to this first company I decided to see what Tesla had to offer just as a comparison. Their bid was about $21,000 including the Backup Battery System. Huge difference here and I can make those numbers work for me.

So now I have something to compare to and will look at other installers in my area to see what the average deals are. Not sure Tesla even has a company they affiliate with in my state. Will find out.

I sent the Tesla bid to the first company I talked to and told them if they could match this we might be able to do business. Of course I have yet to hear back and probably will not.

Solar panels are terribly inefficient. Unless you want a 12-16 volt DC light and appliance system they really don’t make sense.

If you have a cabin and use propane as heat up in the mountains where air conditioning is seldom needed, they will never be primary power system.

The efficiency of converting from 12-16 volts DC to AC is less than 50% and it is square wave AC and is not synced to the phase of your electrical power.

Solar panels are great for remote locations with low power consumption. (radio sites, small cabins, and on other exotic places)

Most of these people have prepping fantasies about going off the grid when the RAHOWA kicks off. Shouldn't they have some appreciation for the ability to divest from the power grid that is provided by solar?

Being from the south, I've known a ton of folk who are hardcore outdoors people and it has nothing to do with politics or paranoia about societal collapse. But being Mr. Outdoors is supposed to be the pinnacle of the Freeper deified pop history image of Teddy Roosevelt masculinity. But I'd be willing to bet most of these people can't camp, hunt, shoot, run, or look at a computer monitor at their work for too long before they start loudly talking about their ADA Protected break time.

Are they TRYING to increase the frequency and depths of racism?

When all I hear is how racist I am because of the color of my skin, I just might take it to heart, and BECOME what I am accused of just as a defensive measure.

The folks stirring this pot really don’t know what they are tempting and if it is unleashed there will be holy hell to pay.

I won’t be dropping anything in the kettle anymore, my White Privilege of being hard working and successful precisely because of what you call White Privilege is too much for Black people to grasp and apparently harmful to thier well being, so I am doing everything humanly possible to avoid having any kind of contact with black people, because if my White Privilege rubs off on them, I don’t want to be blamed for them becoming successful, hell maybe even married with kids and a mortgage. I could never live with myself if I caused something that terrible to happen to a black person.

If this is true, I am very disappointed that a Christian organization basically calls whites racists. And it is racist in itself. They just denigrated all the white race.

As people are saying on Twitter, it's kind of insane that the Salvation Army is being called leftist when they're still just as anti gay and anti trans as ever.

A - I love it that one freepers said, "They might even get married, have kids, and a mortgage." Because you are surely part of the American dream when your "ownership" of a home can be stripped away by a bank if you have a bad couple of months.

B - Is swearing not allowed on Freep? I saw someone spell gently caress "fcuk" like they were trying to trick a swear bot from 1997.

It's probably the perfect encapsulation of the Freeper mindset that they will gleefully post the most vile racism along with sexism/gay/trans/islamphobia and violent revenge fantasies yet can't bring themselves to say "gently caress." That's why "Let's Go Brandon" went as viral as it did, it finally gave them a way to say "gently caress Joe Biden" without having to actually say "gently caress."

I believe swearing is verboten because Freep is a good upright Christian forum and not a den of sin. I don't know how strictly that's enforced though.

There's a weird correlation between some racists and marrying someone of another race but saying they were one of the good ones, basically.

I've noticed a lot of military vets end up marrying not-American Asian or Latina women. Not sure as to the why, but it's a thing. Good on someone getting a citizenship out of the deal.
