All radicals who are willing to spill blood are on Trump’s side.

I'm not so sure on this one.

I'd like to think I'm willing to use the tools at my fingertips to sling hot lead in defense of minorities and prevent a total takeover, however, I recognize that doing so myself is a death sentence.

Taking a stand just makes you a target in a very wide open field. You need more people to take a stand with you to be effective. How many people feel the same as I do? Willing to stand as a group, but not solo?

Organization is important. Organize or be sent to a concentration camp "prison". Organize or be arrested for protesting the regime. Organize or die.

Organized resistance is much harder to take down. With enough people, you wouldn't even need to fight. But you should absolutely be prepared to.

wtf are even 20 armed civilians supposed to do against trained military combat units?

Ask Vietnam.

Yeah I love how other countries like to mock the US for Vietnam, yet for some reason seem to forget about it when it comes to "us military would dominate their population"

I'm sorry but some random Douchebag from Omaha or some small town in Texas doesn't know jack OR shit about the countryside around the Sierra or Appalachian mountains, and all the fancy tools at their disposal didn't help them much when they had to search through desert for 20 years chasing down "terrorists"

Sure, the US couldn't beat vietman because they didn't know the terrain and would never be able to convince the people they're shooting at its for their own good.

But that totally doesn't apply when it's the US fighting against itself, somehow.

The enemy is both weak and strong, I guess.

But is it interactive?

Also I'm sure part of it for some people is the corruption of something that wasn't originally smut.

Wow, that's terrible! What mod is this? So I can avoid it? What a weird thing! That I'm definitely going to avoid and not go check out.

But I am a tad mystified. I do wonder what kind of lifestyle it is that leads a person to turn a videogame main menu into hardcore pornography.

It must be the author's first day on the internet.

If the internet were banned globally, porn mags would immediately disappear from shelves, and anything up to and including national geographic where they show cultures where clothing is sparse would all be hard to find, as the porn starved masses come out of their jizz encrusted caves to find something to give them that little hit of dopamine and oxytocin.

Yeah I am super confused, I just dumped my trash in one of these about an hour ago, and my family had one provided to us by the city in the early 2000s. I'm pretty sure I've seen these in TV shows from the 80s as well.

I don't understand this mentality from people who already have their name out there. You're supposedly famous and you're getting mad about being even more famous and recognizable.

A doll house where there's an even smaller doll house inside, where the tiny TV in the living room plays episodes of the show Dollhouse.

I know someone who did something like this.

They bought a huge garage/warehouse on an empty plot of land, and built essentially two floors of a house right next to each other inside it. Didn't make it look fancy though, just enough to keep the insulation in and hold everything solidly together.

His reasoning? "it's got to be cheaper to heat and easier to maintain if it's inside a cheaper building"

He's lived there for over a decade and has since gotten married and had a kid, so it's still working for him.

It's definitely because of his work in The Fifth Element.

I mean, the rest of his extensive filmography is nice I guess, but Fifth Element was his Magnum Opus.

Nobody wears tilted hair like Sir Gary Oldman.

I'll be honest, I don't believe that Israel waited for a "green light" from the US for a second. I don't believe they even bothered to check in the first place.

It doesn't matter because republicans will green light anything Israel wants to do as long as it doesn't hurt their bank account. They gave carte Blanche a long time ago.

All of this is a distraction, from both the US and Israel, for different things. Don't get distracted in trying to point fingers and play the blame game. All players here suck ass for different reasons, with the ones attacking and backing being top of the list.

Nobody asked or gave permission because the answer was always going to be "do whatever you want"

Having been in the US military, I honestly think it would be about an even split between people who agree/don't agree but will go along with orders vs disagree/undecided but unwilling to murder civilians.

Of course it would never have been "all or nothing" but I think people would be surprised at where the split is and for what reasons people picked their side.

And I'm being completely serious here: I fully believe members of the US military would carry out a nuclear strike on US soil, as long as it was one of "the woke states", in order to make a point of "oppose us and we will kill all of you even if we die too"

There's a spot in Ohio that has like 20 lanes, and an overpass over itself so that people in the far left lanes don't miss an exit. It basically just shifts two left lanes 6 lanes to the right by picking them up, shoving all the others over, and dropping it back down.

The first time I noticed it I thought for sure I was mistaken.

Surely another lane might solve the congestion issues making that necessary?

Well I sure hope it does!

It would be pretty weird it if floated on cedar trees.

10/10 you can see little spider webs with moisture beads

Might restart it

Or don't give them money, and go sailing instead.

And I’m not trying to imply that there is no reason to need a truck or no reason to need an SUV.

I didn't mean to imply that's what you were saying.

There are exceptions, but yeah 99% of trucks and SUVs on the road simply don't need to be there.

I'd love electric van, honestly. Most of the stuff I use my truck for doesn't need the open space up top or the ability to drop a load from above/the side, and the few times I have needed that I could have spent an hour hand loading things. Plus I'd prefer the extra security of having an enclosed cargo space. Vans are better than trucks in all but a small set of circumstances

Most days I don't need a truck. Most days I don't want a truck.

But that's what I've got and I can't exactly just buy a new vehicle, or simply change jobs to one I can cycle to.

I'm a minority though, for most people it's compensation for insecurity or attempted status symbol. Around here we call them "pavement princesses" because they never touch dirt and likely couldn't navigate a back yard with its current driver.

My in-laws have a van that can out-pull my pickup. Partly due to my trucks age and how heavily it has been used over the years, but their van isn't exactly a pushover.

And they have their own pickup that is only a few years old and it can't tow their camper very well. They use their van whenever they can.

If their proof of citizenship is their ID, remind them that people make their entire living off selling fake or altered ID cards.

Sorry, your drivers license isn't good enough, you're going to the concentration camps.
