Recruiting is also getting hosed as people are just too loving unhealthy to enlist because they live in abject poverty.

Imagine loving the poors so hard that you can't even use them for military service, which is the major source of enlisted personnel

The amount of people in that thread who think a federal job in Manhattan is high paying is mind boggling. Detention officers are way down the pay scale, and while they get federal benefits, that kind of pay is below poverty level for the area almost ($53,000 is way below what you need to make to get by there, and if you're pulling 16 hour days, without extra pay because salaried, you can't work another job to make ends meet). No wonder the federal jail has a staffing shortage.

The general consensus about what being a federal worker entails is basically 'the mean people at the DMV, but they make 150k' completely ignoring any other aspects of reality.

Hey, RE the guy who shattered a kid's skull over not taking off his hat during the national anthem:

quote:

What his attorney says about the rodeo incident
Lance Jasper, Brockway's attorney, said last week that his client is a military veteran who has a severe traumatic brain injury and has problems with impulse control. Between that and being a disabled veteran who is "uber patriotic," Jasper said, Brockway is influenced by the rhetoric of President Donald Trump.
Referring to times the President has spoken out against athletes and others that kneel or protest during the national anthem and when he suggested possible jail time or loss of citizenship for burning the American flag, Jasper said, "Curt takes that literally and views the President as the commander in chief and when he sees it happening, he feels he needs to do something about it."
Jasper said Brockway expressed remorse the child was hurt.
"He told me 'I guess I messed up because he got hurt. But I'm a patriot,'" Jasper said.

Jasper said he intends to present his client's neuropsychological evaluation to the court. "Curt says he was given an order from (the) commander in chief to make sure people are patriotic," Jasper said.
The maximum sentence for felony assault on a minor, according to a charging document, is five years in prison and a $50,000 fine.

Fun note: this guy has PTSD, and serious problems with impulse control, but the state of Montana allows him to own guns still.

Doing that poo poo to a minor is supposed to be a felony offense which would kill off him owning guns, but lmao if you think that would stop him, as he is probably a loving doomsday prepper with a shitton of hidden assault rifles and sniper rifles who figures that when everything goes to poo poo he will make his own little TRUE AMERICA patriot fiefdom where anyone who doesn't salute the flag or fails the paper bag test is shot.

I know I'm not exactly batting 1.000 with this guy, but do you have a source for the bolded bit?

Pretty sure he's not a convicted felon already. The assault with a weapon incident in 2010 where he threatened to shoot somoeone on the side of the road got brought all the way down to just probation with no jail time, and it was ended early in 2017 for "good behavior".

Felons usually do some jail time.

I can't source the court records with the actual charge without paying money to some public record search company though, thanks capitalism.

Even if you get probation for a felony you're still intelligible to own a firearm under federal law AFAIK.


I'm still absolutely certain that he's gotten guns via grey market poo poo, I doubt the state of Montana is gonna follow up on who owns guns because there's far more guns than there are people in that state. There's more than 1 gun for every person in the US right now which is an amazing and awful number to consider.

Bored As gently caress posted:

The natural end of that argument is that any ownership of any firearm, even if it's a safe queen that never sees the light of day, or gets shot 15 times at the beginning of hunting season, automatically increases the danger to the public in the area.

Would you say that the public in the area would be more, or less in danger because there is a gun in the area? Even if it is a "Safe Queen" as you say.

You don't get to pick the middle and say it doesn't change, because in one scenario there is no gun, and the other there is. Does the public danger increase or decrease due to a properly secured firearm in the area?

Russia de facto pulled out of it 6 years ago so it was moot.

Yeah I was gonna say they've been building and testing in violation of the INF for a while. The other big problem with the INF is India and China were not party to it and China especially has taken advantage of that. 81% of their missile forces would be banned if they had been party to that treaty. So the INF was going to get dumped regardless of the Russians or not, honestly.

Small miracles right?

I mean the treaty has been dead since February, Stravag. We withdrew from it last year and there's a 6 month period where the treaty still exists. It was declared defunct in February though and the US is just now starting to test poo poo. Russia's got about a 6 year lead on that because they didn't give a gently caress.

there was a matrix mmo that continued the plot from the movies for a while, as directed by the wachowskis. iirc the machines tell the humans that neo died but refuse to give back his body and morpheus (leading one in-game faction) keeps demanding to know what they're hiding. i assume the game shut down before anything was really developed or resolved, but i guess i shouldn't say more, lest it get used in a new film.

It'll probably get ruled non-canon because the Matrix MMO was so bad and experienced by so few people.
