I kinda think we should just kill people who unironically say "Hitler was right." I'm generally opposed to capital punishment and I don't think every racist deserves death, and obviously if there was some law that punished racism with death it would mostly be used to execute black people for calling someone "Karen." But if it was restricted entirely to executing people who think Hitler had some good ideas and were vocal about it I think we'd be better off without those people being around.

Germany has specific laws about the swastika etc. and maybe we could adopt them. Like it's not literally killing nazis but it is clearly a violation of the 1st amendment so I guess we'd have to modify the 1st amendment to add "...except Nazis."

quote:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech except for saying Nazi poo poo, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Literal, formal Neo-Nazis are such a fringe element of American culture that they don't really merit much concern when it just comes to speech. Government going out of its way to suppress their speech would to a hell of a lot more to amplify and normalize them than just letting them have their little club meetings or whatever they do.

Y'all this storm is so much worse than you think. Like SO much worse let me tell you how much worse.

Apparently Austin got hosed so sideways by this ice storm that my company is calling all hands on deck and getting work crews from other cities — including mine — to help with the cleanup. This means that for the next week, my region's ONLY work crew will be in Austin, along with our service manager and only other salesperson. So I am about to be the one and only motherfucker in my whole entire region holding down the fort selling services for this tree service company.

For one week.

After a major ice storm.

It WON'T be okay.

Gas stoves are the shiiiiiiit if you care about cooking and I will have one the moment I can afford to.

Gas stoves are in a whole different league compared to coil electric, but if you're going to drop money into a stove I would highly recommend trying out an induction before going for gas. Frequency beat me to it, but induction is all the advantage of gas heating up and cooling down faster with effectively zero waste heat dumped off around it.

Also every time this comes up in the thread I lol at someone in a previous iteration of this discussion saying there is no difference between gas and coil electric and people who act otherwise are doing so as an affectation.

At no point did i say we should suppress their speech. I said they should be executed.

Man I mean I kinda get the angle you’re going for here, but this is like the third time in a TFF chat thread someone has said something along the lines of “Nazis are bad and should get hosed” and you try to play “well but what if actually” Devil’s advocate, it’s really not a great look

I'm somewhat black pilled on contemporary politics but believe most people are mostly good.

I also dont post much seriously. Tonality is sometimes hard to convey. I'm also not a "you shouldn't joke about this" person.

I am however pro guillotine, drowning, firing squad and hanging most people who do the most harm. Which I think is something that can bring us all together.

Do you guys have natural gas lines that pipe right into homes? My friend has 3 points out door got a BBQ, outdoor for a water heater and their stove.

The other way we have it is gas bottles that are like the a foot wide and a metre tall that a company comes and changes.

Country will have larger tanks in the yard that get refilled and cities and suburbs will have pipes to homes. My neighborhood has gas and I have one of the few houses that didn’t get plumbed when it was built in the 60s.

Yea, it is just gas lines going right into the home. We have a gas dryer, water heater, furnace, and stove. Almost caused a disaster when I told my wife of course we had a gas dryer when we were buying a new one and then it turned out our old one was electric. Luckily there was also a gas hookup there with a valve I needed to turn in the garage to open it or I would have died.
