Remember when dude stole a tank and GTA’d San Diego? It’s similar to killdozer guy, the driver was a schmuck who’d fucked up his own life and then went on a rampage, but the video is pretty cool and no one got hurt (except the driver).

Recognizing that straight up genocide or mass incarcerating all of them is not going to be an option, at a bare minimum: disenfranchisement, bar them from any office, confiscate wealth and property, liquidate their businesses, take their guns. Let them spend the rest of their miserable lives dependent on the good graces of society to get by, and if they still refuse to abide, then we opt to remove them from the picture. We’re also going to have to strip our democracy down to the bare bones, keep what was good, bring other parts out of the 18th century, and be vigilant in closing up the loopholes they make for themselves. There’s some that need to be Nuremberg’d, but logistically and realistically we can never bring them all to heel. We just need to do as much as we can to set the example and make sure they don’t adopt a new “lost cause” narrative.

Yeah. Yeah… Why is making Arby’s the butt of a joke so hilarious, and why is “beef” so snicker inducing?

“Beef” 🤭

Better that than the sus politics of the German Shepherd that lives a few doors down. The neighbors say he’s just lifting his paw to ask for a shake, but I see the look in eyes.

Where’s Cheney when you need him.

We’re going to have to de-Nazify the entire system, from the leaders to the voters. Ban them from holding office, strip their voting rights, destroy the ability for wealthy individuals or special interests to buy politicians. There’s some good ideas at the core of American democracy, but we’ve not only fucked it up, there’s other countries that have come along since our founding and are doing it better. Strip the country to its bones, salvage what worked, fix what didn’t, and toss a lot of the hubris.

I bet he thinks that song is about him.

No foreign army supplied by the US government has ever turned those weapons against the US. 🙃

At this point I’m surprised they haven’t started rewriting the Bible to bring it inline with their version of the faith. You know, drop the commandment about not committing adultery and swap it with “Thou shalt not abort”. Instead of Jesus feeding the masses and preaching neighborly love he says “get a job you fucking poors” and “hate the gays”. Moses frees his people with the power of the 2nd Amendment.

The devil is the pinnacle of vanity per his origin story. He gets one shot at inhabiting a physical form. Ya really think he’s going poses a spray-tanned, twat-necked, obese, incontinent dude on the cusp of 80? Lucifer has standards.

🤗 yeah… yeah. I’d pit our wild spaces and backcountry up against any in the Union. Mountains, high desert, old growth, rivers, lakes. Wolves, grizzlies, bison, elk, deer, sturgeon, and migratory birds. Millions of acres we fight to keep for nature and leave-no-trace human enjoyment right outside our back doors. And thousands of ugly exploiters trying to capture their own “private Idaho” and turn it into the Aryan dream. Ain’t gonna happen.

“God, it’s so hot…”

I think that the nature of Lemmy attracts people who are drawn to seek out new experiences and alternative lifestyles, so it’s less that psychs are widely popular and more this community has a higher percentage of users. That said, I don’t know anybody that does acid on the regular anymore, it was pretty uncommon when I was a teen, and the people who I know who like to trip (usually hippies, ravers, and punks) are typically doing shrooms. Might also be because I live in shroom country so they’re easy to find and cheap if you have to buy them. Gotta say, a few days in the middle of the backcountry with a dose it nice, I can’t imagine doing it and going to the bar on a weekend.

I got hit by a large SUV doing between 30mph and 40mph a few years ago. I can’t tell you why or how, but I had a split second to twist and plant my hands on the hood and jump so I went up instead of under. Went into the windshield (broke it) and then got launched when she slammed on the brakes. It put my radius and ulna into my hands, my back into my guts, and knocked my brain so hard I gave the emergency crew a phone number that belonged to a girlfriend I’d broken up with almost 20yrs prior. Took me a year to be able to write again, not just physically. I’d start putting words to paper and end up with gibberish because between my brain and my hand it didn’t connect. Had to leave post-it notes around the house as a check list- did you eat, bathe, brush your teeth, feed the dogs, piss? My ability to sleep was wrecked, no circadian rythym. I don’t entirely believe in fate, but how the fuck that didn’t kill or cripple me boggles my mind (what’s left of it) daily.

For me it would really depend on the context.

I had an abusive mother and self-harmed, a lot. By my teenage years I was bouncing back and forth between self-harm and realizing I was not insane, my mom was an abuser, and starting to find adults and peers who would listen to me and recognize it. I also discovered I could channel my feelings through writing and art, that catharsis of expressing my feelings in a healthy was rather than just turning them back on myself.

As an adult, is it worth noting when a young person starts expressing themselves like that; absolutely. Shit’s rough, it can get overwhelming, and a lot of young people cut their journey short intentionally or recklessly trying to deal with it. Sometimes it’s just a young person piercing the veil and figuring out the world isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and venting their disillusion. Other times it’s hopelessness. As an adult I’d like to think I could figure out which it is; commiserate with a youth about the bullshit but have the wisdom to know when to know when to intervene.

No, he’s correct. Jesus directly referenced what we know as Easter traditions in the Bible:

“While they were eating, Jesus took a box of Peeps, and when he had given thanks, he broke them apart and gave them to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; they’re honestly not that bad.”

You bastards!
