Try fighting a civil war now, red states. See how far you get against contemporary weapons.

Definition of cruel and unusual in my book.

There are cute boots and not cute boots. Those are not cute boots.

I hate it when one person tries to dominate the tech forum that I peruse. Every time, I think to myself, “you realize this stops being interesting when you reply to every single comment, right?” But I know they don’t have that level of self-awareness so I keep it to myself.

Norm Finkelstein took this position, arguing that NATO encroaching on the Russian border was provocation. I didn’t agree or disagree because I don’t know enough about geopolitics to consider myself informed on the matter. His case was persuasive, however, if not at least interesting. I generally consider him pretty level-headed, so it was worth the listen.

The Irish, for example, are no longer systematically persecuted in the USA en masse.

I use Docbase, which apparently has been archived on GitHub.

How about taking a position that all murder is wrong rather than justifying one side. Wtf

WCCO asked the city whether Tirado’s settlement resulted in any changes to the city’s use of less-lethal rounds. A spokesperson declined to answer.

I’ll save the suspense: this means it didn’t change.

Looks like they took the form down. If anyone has a new link, please post it. I’ve got some creative writing to share with the bigots in Utah.

It’s also a great path to getting people to do what you want. I was already an atheist when my father and I had a philosophical discussion regarding religion when I was an adolescent. He brought up this point early in the discussion. I only need to look around at all the bullshit laws getting passed that religious zealots vote for against their own interest to confirm that this is true.

The Southern Baptist Church just had their annual conference and decided that their position on Invitro Fertilization is against the procedure. How does that help anyone? It doesn’t.

I only hate the zionists and a great many of them are not Jewish.

Acquitted on human trafficking.

Three workers who were brought over from their native India alleged the family paid them as little as £7 ($8) to work 18-hour days, less than a tenth of the amount required under Swiss law, and confiscated their passports.

Sounds like trafficking to me.

As a person living in the USA, someone who is directly impacted by who sits in the Oval Office, it’s my opinion that we all have standing. Fuck this judge.

I think maybe I paid $150 at the time. The podcast was Grumpy Old Geeks. I’m not aware of them running any discounts now, but you never know if they’d cut you a break if you reach out. Podcast advertising has apparently been pretty dried up since the pan.

Must be able to speak English

Ah, fuck, I’m out. It’s one of the only languages I haven’t learned. Were this a post seeking Sanskrit, Mayan, Akkadian, or High Valyrian language speakers, I’d be just the right candidate.

Pop quiz: which of the above is not a historical language? If you guessed Klingon, your reading comprehension skills are for shit. The answer is English. It’s completely made up and only appears in Fantasy genre stories – along with birds and flying spaghetti monsters and hobbits.

Wow, I’m really bored at work, I guess. Glad it’s Friday. Hope you all have a nice weekend.

What a great idea. This can only end well. /s

“What gun problem are you talking about? I only see a freedom problem, and that’s the best type of problem to have!”

Thomas, as per usual, is on the wrong side of history. You can almost 100% pick the correct verdict by choosing the opposite of his vote with a very limited number of exceptions. If these were Vegas odds, you’d get rich betting against him with almost no downside.
