When I went to Texas Tech, one of my "friends" liked to carry his grandfather's gun. ND'd at a party that got busted and that was that.

Same dude learned my grandfather was a nazi soldier and his first thought was if I had any of his guns. Of course, that's what you do with prisoners of war, let them keep their guns. Lemme just go grab my ancestral K98k with a reichsadler and hakenkreuz on it, my most favouritest gun.

I finally took (found) a job much closer to home after a decade of trying. It's outside my field but pays me about as much as commuting 45 to 60 minutes a day used to in my piece of poo poo car. The gain in extra free time, wear and tear on my vehicle and even putting up with less bullshit has been a godsend in spite of technically earning less money.

Especially with gas creeping up to 4 bux a gallon right now

I hate all the bullshit flags that crazy conservatives fly. It's never just the plain vanilla US flag anymore it's always thin blue line, Trump Rambo, or whatever else. It's horrible to see all these fuckin people who have decided that the nice normal regular flag no longer gets their dicks hard or their pussy wet. They have to have a separate and defaced flag. Why isn't the original good enough anymore??

I remember a friend of mine once visited and commented to me how startling it was to see cashiers actually sitting down in stores. Seemed very humane to him and got us both wondering why in the hell we can't allow that here in the States. There's no real reason to require those people to stand all day.

I worked at Best Buy as a manager for a few years and this was a corporate mandate. "No cashiers or other employees sitting, it gives the impression to customers that they are lazy and makes employees who can't sit jealous"

Sometimes I think you can go too far in fetishizing the labor itself; I think we should focus on building a society where labor is voluntary. It’s just occupation #43679 where you got hosed if it was your job, and it’s not worth fighting to keep any more than “coal miner” or “pog creator.” The problem is just that we keep using every piece of technology to create even more labor than we eliminate (it’s economic growth!)

BiggerBoat posted:

Yes, that's truly strange that a political candidate would go through files, study or organize information relevant to public issues that might affect their electability or that they might be asked in a debate or by reporters.

Insane.

And couldn't we just as easily photoshop this dumb thing, change the headline to "REPUBLICANS" and put in files labeled:

- Jesus Freaks
- Abortion
- Proud Boys/Racists
- Media
- MIC
- Guns
- The Gays

and make it equally unfunny and less clever?

Who am I kidding? Thiers would only have two. TRUMP and KKK

I'm older than 50.

I watched racist Democrats die off.
I watched non-racist Republicans take over.
I watched the South become less and less racist as it became more and more Republican.
I watched Northern cities become more and more racist as they became more and more Democrat.
I watched racist Democrats, ashamed of their past, attempt to swindle a generation of schoolchildren with the Howard Zinn-inspired "party switch" hoax.
Today, the most racist places in America are cities that have been run by Democrats for decades. The least racist places in America are Republican-run Southern states (outside the racist blue Democrat urban hellhole cities in their states).
These are all plain, documented facts. Incontestable facts that any non-brainwashed person over 50 knows to be true.

imagine saying you're a huge fan of spider-man but also being against inclusion.
when miles morales premiered i heard a racist guy saying he couldn't stand the political correctness (pre-"woke" term) and i ended up telling him that i'mmore than happy to share spider-man with every person in the hopes that they'll all be a little bit more like that. i even ended the rant with "and spider-man would agree with me" because i'm a gigantic dork

seriously the entire history of comic books is a power fantasy for minorities and misfits and time has only tamped them down so you can't even say you prefer the original. the first superman newspaper comic had him literally thretening to destroy a bank unless they loan a poor farmer money.

missing the entire point of comic books for 40 loving years and still thinking you're the good guy. "hey international symbol of goodness and peace: help me beat up this gay kid!"

I love the fact that whenever I point this out, some Democrat invariably claims "Derrrrr... you don't even know what fascism is!" So let's explore fascism a little, shall we?

Listed below are attributes and practices that all 20th Century fascists have in common with the Democrat Party of 2023:

1. Laws promoting the seizure of guns from law-abiding citizens and/or the denial of gun ownership rights for law-abiding citizens.
2. Censorship of free speech by pretending such censorship protects the citizenry from faulty information.
3. Government control of industry.
4. Government control of the mass media.
5. Children belong to the State and not their parents.
6. Political dissidents are to be persecuted for "crimes" under the color of law through the courts.
7. Political dissidents are locked up for months/years without a trial.
8. All policies are to be based on a fierce adherence to a preferred ideology.
9. Control of the entertainment industry as a means of propaganda.
10. Accuse dissidents of the very crimes you yourself commit.
11. Justify all of it for the "common good."

The Democrat Party of 2023 is a fascist party. Spread the word.

I’ve worked close enough to CPS that when someone cries about their kids being taken away by CPS it’s because they are extremely lovely parents. CPS does not want to take your kids because it’s a huge pain in the rear end and they don’t want to do the paperwork to make you stop being a lovely parent.

Zionism.txt: not giving a poo poo about the genocide taking place or even the Jewish people (not that Judaism has gently caress all to do with Zionism anyway). It's all about protecting Israel so that you can get your "heavenly reward" and the Jews, for their part, can be drop kicked into hell for not believing in Jesus.

It's really disgusting and I'm sure Israeli Zionists are well aware of how they're being used by evangelical Christians. They probably let it happen because it suits their genocidal purposes.

Nobody gets into politics because they're honest.
The trick is to either be really good at the lying, launder your corruption through enough loopholes and channels that it can't be definitively traced back to you, have enough friends/family/allies in power with you that nothing ever gets done about you, or kick enough bennies to your constituents that they don't mind you skimming a little off the top because they got their cut.
