Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Organized armed minorities make governments afraid.

Make no mistake, this is yet another message, "we do not care about you or your struggles". Listen when they tell you they won't protect you.

As someone without allergies that has been around for too many peanut-related reactions, I absolutely hate that this article exists.

Too many times I have heard people be dismissive of a person's severe peanut allergy, to the point of thinking it's funny to bring a peanut butter sandwich to work and wave it in someone's face, and then get defensive when it triggered a skin rash from proximity alone.

I've seen people put peanut butter on an allergic person's car door handle.

I've seen people put peanuts in someone's food "because they have to be faking it"

The reason I hate this article is because it will encourage too many people who "have done their own research" to put peanuts in things "to help build up a tolerance"

Someone is going to die from that "studies suggest".

And I really am tired of hearing "you're overreacting, that's not going to happen" given the current state of the world.

Alcoholic male defense secretary with 0 OPSEC abilities orders makeup set for public appearances.

Also decides other males aren't allowed to wear makeup in public.

I had a target I would eat lunch at whenever a contract took me to the area, I could just walk over and get a personal pizza and drink.

Not anymore.

It's getting harder to shop at places that don't bend the knee.

Thats not a challenge to get more places to bend so we don't have a choice, I would happily never spend money in the United States again if I could help it.

I ate it because I kept reading "aquariums" and thinking the author meant protected wildlife areas, and it didn't click until I got to "marine exhibit"

And now I can honestly imagine them allowing rich fucks to literally fish inside national aquariums for a price.

Every argument I have ever heard boils down to "in my specific use-case because of X Y Z and Purple, all the benefits of wired are irrelevant" and the people espousing such opinions don't at all take into consideration that other people exists and their specific use-case is not at all widely experienced.

"My tinnitus means I can't distinguish high tones well" okay buddy, but how many other people enjoy distinct highs?

"I move around too much so Bluetooth is the only practical solution" okay my friend, but many people either don't have that problem, or they've found a solution.

Just finished ep 3. it was definitely the forced gender assignment on a baby episode that did it...

Good luck collecting blood from all these stones.

I'll deal with it, but could you be a dear and come show me how, in person? And no need to bring any form of security, half the people on this street are former marines, specwar navy, an army Ranger, and about a dozen former national guard. They'll all be here to ensure security of the country.

Now I'm thinking I should give it another try.

I gave Discovery half a season, I have the Orville 2 or 3 episodes and while it was funny it didn't really click for me. I just lost interest after a few episodes.

Edit: just finished episode 3. Now I remember why I didn't keep watching. I should have just read the plot breakdown and skipped the episode. It just left a bad taste in my mouth.

I sent the first news story about the signal chats to my parents ands in-laws in a big group that said "I had better never fucking hear another one of you dumbasses say a word about 'HeR eEeEeEmAiLs' ever again"

Not a single one replied, both parents have (according to my wife) started taking Facebook posts they've made in the past down, and my in-laws have not said a political word in over a week. It's been refreshing.

They clearly aren't ready to accept they may have been totally wrong all along, but it's nice to see they might be self-aware enough to recognize when they might be potentially maybe SOMETIMES be less than correct about specific things.

You need a microscope to see it, but i consider it a step up.

"These leopards would never eat my face! They wanted us here!"

"if someone said anything negative about me, I would gladly murder dozens of people JUST to make them look bad, therefore this is perfectly believable!"

That's the logic.

Honestly that just sounds like someone who just forgot to keep drinking while experiencing couch lock... When I'm smoking sativa strains like last night, I am perfectly okay the next day since I'm much more active, and therefore drink more liquids, than when smoking indica strains.

While I'm sure it happens, it's just not a thing for me or my wife and her friends I guess.

I know someone who loves to smoke, but every time she does, her hands start shaking noticeably, but not enough to need help with things. Except maybe pouring a drink.

Do other people get hangovers from weed? The 4 people I could check with immediately all said they've never had one either.

He's right, it wouldn't have happened.

Jesus would have been black bagged by the CIA a long time before his message spread too far, and the FBI would be investigating him for CommuSocialMarxism like McCarthy is still kicking.

And he definitely would be deported to South America.

Also also has the artist never seen a cross before? That horizontal piece is really low.

Is it considered normal to type out a normal question format when using search engines?

If I were looking for an answer instead of making a funny meme, I'd search "heat movie cast Angelina Jolie" if I didn't feel like putting any effort in.

Then again, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I've seen someone use their phone to search google "what is 87÷167?" instead of doing "87/167" or like... Opening the calculator....

People do things in different, sometimes weird ways.

Okay I know I like to joke about how bat's look like sky puppers, but this is CLEARLY a bat-canine hybrid of some sort.

BAT-DOG!

Treating a telescope like a jackhammer isn't going to work well.

They just haven't figured out your jackhammer just looks a lot like their telescope.

Indeed.

Despite my own work in making knives and other blacksmithing things, where I LITERALLY have a magnet on my anvil so I can test for when the steel hits it's austenitic temp, I somehow managed to forget the iron will go non magnetic...

So yeah. Thanks for the reminder!

In my defense I haven't made any knives since moving a year ago...

However, this is aluminum I think? I'm not entirely sure how magnetism works with lenzs law and if there's a temperature it stops working...
