Depending on where in Alaska, a .357 isnt a bad gun to carry. The state is remote and has some pretty serious wildlife you may have to contend with. I would like stopping power if I was defending myself from a wolf or bear.

It's also pretty reductionist and inaccurate to call Malcolm pro-violence. He was against the philosophy of non-violence being preached by his contemporaries. He was, instead, pro-self defense. Some quotes:
my blackness has been questioned in real life and on here. isn't that a form of anti-blackness? to question an integral part of someone's being when they voice opinions that you don't like? do you all have a problem bc i'm voicing such an opinion in mixed company? if so,fuck that. i post whatever the hell i want…
Malcolm X was originally a separatist. His father was a follower of Marcus Garvey who believed that all American blacks should return to Africa because they could never achieve true equality in the States. When Malcolm preached for the Nation of Islam, he did advocate for complete separation of the races along a…
You mean the mentor with whom Malcolm parted ways precisely because he found out that sexual misconduct? That is one of the key reasons he left the Nation of Islam. He interviewed the women directly and chose to believe their word over that of his leader, prophet, and mentor —a man for whom he'd previously been…
did i speak outta line? should i,a black woman,never criticize a Black Man? are you going to say that the f.b.i. made that up to tarnish a Great Black Man? should i hand in my black card?
Actually, by the end of his life (and you can read this in his autobiography) Malcolm X was beginning to change his mind about race and his approach to gaining equality for African-Americans.
What bugged me is the FDA insisting they independently provide statistical proofs of their tests' accuracy. What people seemed to not understand is that the chip they used for this testing is the Illumina HumanOmniExpress Plus, a common brand in wide use elsewhere in America, by a lab already licensed for performing…
Even the best genetic testing can be 100% accurate. Everytime you have a baby it is a roll of the dice. Every. Single. Time. If you are not able to accept that, don't have babies, even if your tests say you can.
I did exactly that - under "Other" security system I listed "Manual Transmission immobilization device" and bingo it got me an additional 10%!
People always talk about the decline of the manual transmissions, but dang it, it's a useful life skill. You never know when you're going to be stuck out with someone who DOES have a manual car who's too drunk/tired/whatever to drive it.
my parents, in their infinite wisdom, decided that my brother and I would learn how to drive stick.
I just bought myself a Jeep as a college graduation present. I didn't know how to drive a stick but was determined I was going to learn dammit. The salesman kept trying to talk me out of it because "a lot of ladies prefer automatics." Uhm no dick head I want a fucking stick and a 4x4!!!
That is how I get rid of pushy car salesmen when I'm browsing - ask them if they have this car in a stick. They neeeeverrrr have.
The last car I bought was a stick. My salesman couldn't drive it.
I returned to my stick-shift Toyota Corolla post-workout to find the door jimmed, the drivers seat thrown back and the steering wheel tilted down. The poor dear got so close to felony vehicle theft but for my manual transmission. Yes, it is a theft detergent and should be compensated accordingly.
Auto insurance policies should list a manual transmission as a theft deterrent.
Wait, who does the arrests? Or the complaining? Shouldn't the store employees and managers actually recognize the guy as working there? Hell, even the local polic should know it by now.
You should see the look on the cleaning person's face when I ask them for help with my code...
