My Job's HR decided today to get ahead of Bidens Executive Order and is asking for either proof of vaccination or an email saying "I'm not vaccinated" by the end of the week in case fed dollars/contracts are gonna be withheld based on us not keeping records I guess. I wonder if I can bribe someone in HR to give rough figures on what the percentage split looks like

I dunno if it's legit, but I'd argue there are exceptions built into the "core right to self defense" as there are places where you are not allowed to carry guns even though it's possible for you to be attacked, ex courthouses.

The plaintiffs lawyer was cautious not to make a call one way or the other on where he stood ref subways etc. It seems like the "right to self defense" as interpreted says you're allowed to defend yourself, it doesn't say you have to use a gun to do it. A new age of swords is approaching!

Legalize weed, provide mental and physical health services, provide low cost housing. The % that remain brain washed after getting most of their basic needs met will solve themselves through a combination of horse medicine and bad gun safety. This of course will never happen, because republicans need people to be full of vitriol to have voters outside of rich white people and democrats need the money of the aforementioned rich white people

I don't think it's acting. Unless you're a psychopath recalling merking some dude should illicit some sort of emotional response. That's not to say it should buy him leeway for loving up multiple times and then shooting people, especially since he had to go out of his way to be in the situation in the first place. Like I think outside of big money poo poo heads and elected officials, it's easy to forget sometimes people aren't malicious they're just stupid as gently caress. Again, that's not to say he shouldn't see the inside of a prison for it.

Anyone that is defined as a "use of force" expert has to be some sorta grifter. That could just me being naturally suspicious of anyone in the "punch/kick/grapple/shooting" sports saying they're competent in anything that isn't putting a "punch/kick/grapple/projectile" on target. Like if someone at my grapplesports gym told me the sky was blue, I'd have to go outside and double check to make sure I'm not being sold something dumb.

Problematic Soup posted:I mean, it’s not completely terrible in isolation, but it definitely has a strong conservative slant, and that’s kind of the rub when you have people in power in the republican party who are basically dogwhistling the whole “free helicopter rides for communists” poo poo, or whatever john bircher retread poo poo that the q people are cooking up. Unfortunately people who slant liberal/left in the martial arts community tend to not do martial arts as their full time gig, especially in the "executive protection/self defense" world where it takes a certain mentality to have the right amount of paranoia, anxiety, and love of guns to consider it as a career. The best you can generally hope for is a dude who doesn't talk politics, but is uncomfortable going to walmart with out a strap.

Yea, my personal thought is that everything I can't deal with by being aware, not putting myself in stupid situations, and de-escalating can be dealt with by BJJ and boxing, basically belligerent drunk people. Everything else, like someone competent trying to murder or rob me, a weapon is gonna do nothing more than be some fancy loot on my corpse.

The legislature has basically passed laws saying "lol good luck getting a democrat city dog catcher let alone electoral college votes ever again" and legislative democrats have no stomach to deal with it and the president, if he has any ability to deal with it, will get owned by the courts. So as far as I can see the only thing Biden being in office has changed for people in this state is...1) We don't have to fear that the president is gonna start a nuclear war and 2) I guess savannah will get some better port facilities? edit: Like if the GA Repubs go insta-fash and start implementing de-facto jim crow is the Biden-DOJ and Democrat congress gonna do anything about it?

I fully expect this new COVID variant to ravage the planet, again, because people would literally rather die choking to death on their own fluids than wear a mask or get a free shot. Honestly back in 2016-2019 I was fully expecting Trump and the erosion of the state department to have basically caused an international emergency to such a degree where the rest of the world decided the US was too stupid to live and locked the US out of the global market the response to which would be war to annihilation and a crack down of civil liberties ending with the embrace of the atom. I could not have predicted plague and nurgilites.
