I remember when a leftist type murdered a cop or fed during the Trump administration and he was shot dead within 24 hours.

If the government wants to, they can find you very easily.

Also when we look at far right groups, white supremacists, neo Nazis, and militia types, one thing there's no shortage of is snitches, collaborators, turncoats, traitors, and every other craven mollusk to slither the earth.

Whatever universe where these goobers can go after the family of a B-2 aircrew is a universe that has one of them serve their fellow conspirators on a silver platter .

I remember watching a GQ video about a former career thief critiquing heist movies. He said the problem with heists with large crews, such as Ocean's 11, is that one of them would eventually talk. That big of a crew is unruly and one of them will always fold and rat everyone else out.

The fantasy of Democratic politicians drone striking Republicans instead of just giving them everything they want like always is adorable.

Biden's reaction to Abbott defying the court is to offer to pass a law more anti-immigrant than anything Trump ever did.

When the worst person you know has a good idea (recycling) for the dumbest reasons. Can't even be bothered to maintain the paint on that thing. Kinda how "Epstein didn't kill himself" tracks everywhere but for opposite reasons
(cellmate was a cop with a track record of Crimes For Money and a lot of other things of course but who paid the guy is the question)

Guavanaut posted:

Yeah I'm pretty sure the underlying reason isn't even environmental, it's a "why should my taxes pay for infrastructure maintenance when we can just throw random bullshit across rivers, no I've never heard of a bridge collapse why?"

Reminds me of a similar thing that keeps making the rounds, along the lines of "City council refused to build a stairway up this hill in a park. Now a local dad built one by himself for a couple hundred bucks, but the city tore it down again at the cost of thousands of dollars!"

The unspoken background being that the local guy's stairway was a rickety piece of poo poo that would at best last a year before it inevitably breaks and probably injures somebody quite badly.

I had to yell at a friend of mine about how the local dad's precarious, not-to-code stairway created an unsafe affordance and was worse than nothing.

Thank you! I've been saying this for years. First, try to do without. Second, try to find a way to reuse what you couldn't avoid using. Finally, when it's at its end of life, dispose of it responsibly.

Everyone gets so hopped up on Recycle because it's the new fancy word. Or it was new, I guess, when Al Gore invented the internet and he said "what hath god recycled" on that dragon ball BBS or whatever.

It's not even that. Reduce and Reuse means I have to stop buying fancy new poo poo and either use less or use bad old things like a poor would. Recycle means I can keep up my cycle of consuption and disposal without guilt.

Just some forgettable 50 follower cryptofash Twitter account I think. The impression I got from the post was the notion that people from notoriously liberal colleges are just so susceptible to groupthink that it's only the minority of edgy "independent thinkers" that can out wit our AI overlords.

Maybe I'm over thinking it. But I definitely see this pattern with reactionaries in painting progressives as devoid of self reflection or independent thought, preferring to just blindly follow whatever the safe popular rhetoric is at the time.

You really think they could demonstrate the ability to think for themselves on anything of actual real-world meaning?

Also the button thing would've just been the dude being random mathematically with digits of pi or some poo poo
