It's incredibly convenient, because of course as soon as you do something illegal with a gun, you stop being a legal gun owner, so ergo legal gun owners never do crimes/never get caught doing crimes.

Chicago does have an issue with guns being smuggled in, since they share a water border with the lawless, gun-loving wasteland known as Canada.

I am guessing that: If you want to torch your relationship with your brother in law ask him if he is ok with black people arming themselves and shooting police officers. After all, if the 2nd Amendment is meant to put fear into tyrannical governments and actions, people should be able to arm themselves against police right?

I recently saw one of those lists of the president’s supposed failures that cranks love to leave in the comments of every news article they can. It was pretty standard, except the nickname they made up to devastatingly own him was “Jow.” Just “Jow.” I’m surprisingly baffled by it.

The way I see right wingers on the internet talk about those protests as an outsider I can only assume that Portland is now a smouldering crater so that few deaths comes as a surprise.

Is the TV host really against the children in that meme, not the people raising them? I think the blame should lie with the people responsible for educating, instilling ambition, giving guidance, and providing "realistic expectations of what it means to go to work" (whatever that means), and their failure to do so is the real problem.

Mike Rowe is absolutely against the children these days being too lazy to work a real job. He came up with some thing called the SWEAT Pledge with such great statements as:quote:I believe that I am entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Nothing more. I also understand that "happiness" and the "pursuit of happiness" are not the same thing. quote:I understand the world is not fair, and I’m OK with that. I do not resent the success of others. quote:I believe that all people are created equal. I also believe that all people make choices. Some choose to be lazy. Some choose to sleep in. I choose to work my butt off.

Who knows if he actually believes the bullshit he spouts but he gets paid a lot of money to be a pretend hard labor worker speaking against labor rights and education. Kinda like Very pampered rich man Tim Allen pretending to be a real man.

I think he found his niche doing Dirty Jobs and knows he won’t really go much further so he took all the dirty Koch brothers (past tense) money. He’s not really done anything besides voiceover work.

IIRC, it was more "Hey, there's way more to this job than you would expect and it's actually pretty interesting." I don't think they played up the fish out of water angle.

I used to like Dirty Jobs since a lot of it was getting Mike Rowe to do difficult or gross tasks. But it got pointed out (on Citations Needed I think) how a lot of the places were "small business" operations where much of the interaction was with the owner. There's a lot of veneer to the working class Tradesman esthetic that creates this narrative that these jobs are very important and young people are simply too lazy to take on these tasks. There's not a lot of detail about the exact discrepancies (since some trade jobs genuinely are well paying with decent job security) but my best guess is that a job that is a ticket to job security for life is going to be jealously guarded and there is going to be a lot of direct and indirect nepotism going on, and like a lot of careers it can be more "who you know" vs "what you know".

The former opera singer has opinions about worker safety and how that's all on individual workers: https://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/29/opinion/mike-rowe-workplace-safety/index.html While looking for a good article to illustrate that point, I found out that Rowe is/was also one of those "sacrifice gramps for the sake of the economy" types too, naturally. Asshat.

One of the pledges on his SWEAT pledge bullshit says:quote:I believe that my safety is my responsibility. I understand that being in "compliance" does not necessarily mean I'm out of danger. Which on a surface level is actually pretty good advice. Just because there are safety regulations and equipment doesn't mean you can shut your brain off and not pay attention, especially since a lot of workplace accidents are the result of human negligence, and there's always the possibility of something happening that isn't accounted for. However then you look at the CNN article and you realize it's bullshit like "Nothing is 100% perfectly safe therefore why bother using PPE" and "aha but you drive cars, which are also dangerous, so you have no room to tell me what is safe."
