Those who want to get rid of police are anarchist fuckwits who want crime lords to rule society, and they should be dealt with the same way we deal with criminals.

Oh yeah, that makes total sense, if someone doesn't agree with you they're a criminal. /s

The full expression is a few bad apples spoil the bunch. Police are thoroughly corrupt in the United States and it could be argued with plenty of corroborating evidence that it is a feature and not a bug.

Your little piggies stood by en masse in Uvalde while eight year olds were slaughtered. But you better believe they'll be cashing their overtime checks after assisting the ICE raids to help haul off undocumented Grandmas.

That the stable society you love that they help uphold?

People still don't get that being anti "cancel culture" was cover for being pro sex pest the entire time.

A lot of dumb assholes fought for the right for powerful and rich people to behave with impunity without even the possibility of the minor admonishment of being known as a creep and have people boycott your products or being pressured to step down from public political positions in disgrace.

Similarly, the fight against "wokeness" is the fight to remove decency toward minority groups from the cultural sphere where we had at least a veneer of progress, leaving us with very little to no progress at all. (Because it's certainly not the case that any real progress against racist, unjust institutions has occurred in the last ten years.)

It's more like narcissistic collapse when he really spirals out. But, no matter, the ghouls around him will make sure that the ICE raids run on time.

These are awesome thanks for sharing. Also, if you can do magic eye and stereograms, try crossing your eyes when playing those "find the differences between these two pictures" games. They are incredibly easy if you cross your eyes.

This is America, you aren't getting a good regulatory regime on anything. Especially not for things you buy from vape stores (stores covered in ugly ass LED rope lights that look like they are run exclusively by and for juggalos).

I mean they don't believe at all in federal government unless you're talking about ice raids or police. Then they also don't really believe in state government unless you're talking about bending over and spreading wide for industrial waste generating junk corporations. Then much of the state is unincorporated praire so you're not getting a local government that takes great care of the tumbleweeds. It's basically anarcho capitalism in Texas which is exactly why it sucks so much.

anti science denialism

Wouldn't anti science denialism just be science avocation? 😆

They're starting to get into the science of it, and it ain't looking good. Yes, disposables are a big part of the problem.

Anker Soundcores is what I bought. They were a prime day deal (shudders) but I was on a free trial that I just canceled.

People got worse over the course of the pandemic and it appears they have no intention to go back to more reasonable public behavior ever.

 
 

Hold on honey, before we get our Wendy's I'll have to check the wsj for the historical prices on chicken nuggies first.

Awesome song, was just thinking how it makes a really great test for new audio equipment (especially for the mid-bass / bass part of the system).
