‘Mental health issues’ will come up, I bet you on each and every one of these fucks. 

Exactly. Totalitarianism class 101 - it’s in the playbook you get with the class. The scary part, is how often it works. And where ‘we’ are headed with government that uses this strategy.

I’m shocked (well... irritated? a little bit shocked?) that they were still operating under an _1872_ law that said it was ok to shoot a fleeing felon (suspect might be a better word). WTF - lawmakers and government people, update your shit to reflect a non-1800's world view. Review the old laws on the books, and say…

Ahh they know what’s up, they’re just PB wannabes that want their opposition to be branded terrorists. Your grey was trolling by pretending he (she? nah) don’t know. Silly. They stated before the thing (march? protest? whatever) they were there to try to get into a scrap with Antifa folks, so that DJT would be able to…

Random intermittent misfires. Turned out to be skudgy (sp?) fuel injectors. Cleaned them out with carb & fuel cleaner (under pressure), and an ultrasonic bath - ceased misfiring _almost_ entirely.

The number of them that have black children aren’t enough to change the overall view, IMO. I think for a lot of them, the racism is subtly and not-so-subtly a positive aspect of DJT & Co.

Colorado Springs is a sketchy place, as they say ‘round here. (I live in Colorado) I can empathize with a person being armed there. I feel like it’s a whole county & city full of off balance evangelicals, white supremacists, meth & opiate users, (these are not mutually exclusive, and I think maybe they’re overlapping…

I’m not a religious person, organized religion at least for me, is a no-go. I know some people who are, and my non-knowledgeable-of-religion (ok, christianity) view that I propose to them is - is dealing with the Devil something that your religion would consider acceptable and viable, if you get the results you think…

IDK, Al cans, and for that matter steel cans, often (usually? or only for acidic products?) have a thin plastic film that separates the metal from the food/drink inside the container. I have never noticed a metallic taste from modern metal cans, I do a fair number of science experiments that often use cans as an expedi…

Michelin Man of the Year maybe...

Trespassing in a _commercial_ neighborhood. It’s not like little old men and ladies were seeing this guy on their lawn and in their backyard and freaking out.

“Uber patriotic” would kind of work if we were in Germany. Nietzsche had a whole philosophy about ubermensch (superior man); the Nazi’s got into it,liked the sound of it; because then the inferior races were obviously “Untermencshen”.

Whenever Conway comes on the screen & I hear her talk, I sort of have some sort of mental dissociation thing, and I feel like I’m living in a Twin Peaks (1990's TV show) episode. I can practically hear that intentionally corny soap opera music in the background when she talks. Except Twin Peaks was weird and crazy in…

I like that, that’s a good point. The conservatives want _us_ (well, their people) to want to go back to a Mayberry 1950's hallucinoutopia that never really existed, but maybe by hurting people that are more socially and morally advanced than the 1950s, then we’ll get closer. The liberals want to just simply wake up…

I was thinking about this and that the other day, I wonder if you could have a program that successfully worked with both ex-cons and veterans to re-integrate them into the civilian working life. Not sure if it would work, might need to try two different programs.

IMHO this is standard dictator/authoritarian rule playbook stuff. There’s a problem that people are worked up about, so that gives the government a chance to ‘do something’, even if that something is totally unrelated to the problem, and crimp down further on the rights of the people. Ratchet the clamps down a little…

I never REALLY got into GTA IV or V. I played the single player one through the storyline, and that was really it. GTA San Andreas was a lot of fun for me though, it was a little cartoony, and the soundtrack was well matched to the game - I always laughed when I was driving in the country (and in GTAV, too) and…

Not to point out the obvious to her, but she said ‘Democrats are playing the blame game’ then proceeded to vomit up blame and hate on everything she doesn’t like. It would almost pass a comedy routine, a poor taste comedy routine, but.. It’s her real life poor taste view of the world. WTF.

I enjoy people being creative with cars, and doing something different.

It’s amazing how much oil the US is producing these days. (Net we still have to import some, though, which is also kind of amazing, considering how much we produce).
