The people I see being the loudest and most visible about how “we need to keep ALL speech allowed in every place ever” are almost always the ones getting removed from places because of the insane, dangerous, or just outright incorrect thing they spout.

The last one was a transphobe who got ejected from an aquarium by cops because he decided to follow some trans people around to yell at everyone with children that “the (slur for trans people) are here to r**e your kids” and was screaming about free speech as three security guards literally dragged him out the doors.

Not sure what he expected to accomplish, but these are the people yelling about how they should be allowed to say things on a platform/in a place because it’s not literally illegal to say them.

Being propped up by calcium sticks.

I’d love to!

Now if anyone wants to donate to my Moving Fund…

Either that or it will become a toxic cesspool that you can smell for kilometers.

As someone who used to like the pool, I hope this happens and stays that way until we sort our shit out.

I have been getting the lgbt+ people in my area acquainted with firearms, and while some of them aren’t mentally in a place where they can join us, they will be protected if needed.

Already this year one of my “students” has had to defend themselves in an alley while walking home. Guy made transphobic comments, waited outside and followed. Security cameras managed to catch everything but in this city if there hadn’t been cameras, she’d be tossed in a cell with a bunch of guys and then the cops would leave and hope something bad happens. It wouldn’t be the first time.

When the people surrounding you would happily chuck a stone at you or hoist the rope into the tree with the rest of the lynch mob, and cops won’t protect you, all the people trying to mock you for being prepared just look like naive children whose world view extends to the end of their HOA.

lawn care

grow from there

Lol

And? So do many species. Doesn’t change anything.

Personally I view it more as “find the right balance between technology and the other living things” and “take time to appreciate the things around you”

They’re “going fishing” trying to find probable cause to get you out of the vehicle and allowed to search you and it.

If you say you’re going to / from the bar? Well obviously you’ve been drinking, please step out of the vehicle.

I don’t always say “officer you don’t need that information” I just say something like “home/library” since it provokes the least amount of questions.

Galaxy Quest is Hands down the best star trek movie.

Confession time: I actually love every single movie except the motion picture. Sorry but it’s boring. I don’t understand the hate Insurrection gets. Other than sexist dialog and weird attempt to change the previously established “not-a-relationship-it’s-complicated” thing Picard and Dr. Crusher have going on… Which I try to ignore and pretend the writers room didn’t have RICK RATFUCK BERMAN’s influence…

I don’t give them my license, I only need to show it to them. They can copy down the relevant information needed to verify it’s legitimacy the same way they do when they take it.

I don’t need to roll down my window, I only need to communicate with them. They can speak up and I am more than capable of yelling so they don’t misunderstand anything. An open window is not needed unless someone plans on reaching through it, which neither of us need to do.

I don’t need to give them my insurance card, they only need to know it’s current and for this vehicle. Again they can copy down relevant information and call the insurance company later, which they weren’t going to do anyway.

I don’t need to tell them where I was, or where I was going, as it’s none of their business and not relevant to the stop, which was likely for failing to signal properly, or speeding due to a missed sign.

There’s plenty you dont HAVE to tell them, give them, or show them, but if you’re going to do any of the above, know your state and local laws regarding these, and don’t be intentionally rude, since they’re already going to be pissy.

Also note: it’s much easier to get through this sort of interaction if you’re white. We all know cops are racist shitbags just looking for an excuse.

I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, just someone who is tired of being targeted in the areas around Columbus Ohio that are known for pulling people over for the slightest of infractions in order to go fishing for a reason to arrest someone.

Turning men into pigs?

Or just making their outside match their inside?

Note: no disrespect meant to the noble Sus genus, nor Sus Domesticus specifically. It is unfortunate that pig is used as a negative descriptor when pigs are actually quite clean and respectful creatures, unlike most men.

She tries to go around or leap over them, or runs across them like they’re a platform in a video game that will fall if you stand on them too long.

Likely she is ripping out paw pad hairs as the slats shift around and pinch together, and there is the possibility of getting claws stuck as well.

That’s why my largest dog doesn’t like them.

Nah, continue to belt out incorrect lyrics, possibly even singing “I don’t know the words” in the process.

It’s more likely to get a chuckle “with” you, rather than a giggle “at” you, IMO because everyone can relate.

Even people who do professional performances and sing all the time can swap verses, or even straight up word substitute with songs they don’t practice all the time.

Well yeah, their entire lives have been spent sucking oil dick, their entire foundation of their wealth is tied up in oil, and even though they’re rich enough to pivot entirely and never feel a difference in their lives, they’re stuck in the sunk cost mentality.

It’s too risky to invest in a brand new industry that’s on shaky legs. Never mind that it stopped being a “new” industry decades ago and has proven it will do quite well, and is thriving. They stopped paying attention to real life many many decades ago. As far as they are concerned, they didn’t have to do any sort of personal growth, so they are woefully out of touch with reality.

Oil is what was there when they (or their parents they inherited wealth from) were kids, so obviously they have to dig their heels in to keep oil from flopping. Anything else is secondary.

Mkultra is STILL treated like some nut job conspiracy theory.

I bring it up as example of how the government will do whatever to whoever and lie for decades, fuck the consequences.

People look at me like I’m crazy, and plenty have even straight up told me mk ulta isn’t real, is just a conspiracy, just an excuse for hippies who did too many drugs, any number of “that didn’t happen” excuses. Including “if it actually happened, we would know”. To which I responded “THEY FUCKING ADMITTED IT” and that was the end of the conversation because I cursed and therefore lost an “argument” I didn’t know I was in…

Ohio is crazy…

Honestly I wouldn’t even bother saying it’s an annotated Bible, as long as it’s pulling from a translation of the Bible that a church would use, it’s the same Bible.

I love when someone tries calling me out on not using “the right” translation, because depending on how the conversation has gone up to then, I will either pull out a king James edition, or start listing any of the dozens upon dozens of English translations available, asking if this one or that one was valid enough, until I’ve made my point.

My Bible when I first read all the way through was a new living translation children’s adventure Bible. It had a few illustrations in the family-friendly well-covered areas, mostly new testament. I thought it was pretty fucked up in some parts already, and they did kind of change the phrasing and language to be less obvious to children what is being said.

The one I usually use for reference now is a new international version with no annotations or additional context that was gifted to me when I graduated highschool.

So a court has told another court to stop looking into court cases (and the people not following court orders) and let people not follow court orders.

So court orders are meaningless.

The Bible I read definitely had something to say about nobody except god knowing when jesus was supposed to come back.

Certainly never said you could summon God with a blood sacrifice.

Then again, most Christians have never read the Bible. If they had, they would probably be like me and no longer believe.

View it from the perspective of someone who doesn’t hate McDonald’s and the grease their food slid in on.

I’m sure there’s someone out there who thinks the fallout series is all bad.

They’re objectively wrong of course, but they still hold that belief.
