I look forward to the day people stop conflating “cancelled” with “consequences”

One of the side effects of costco having dramatically higher minimum wages is getting people to genuinely care (or at least more lol).

A person familiar with the former president’s speech told CNN on Saturday that “he’ll be talking about the future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement.”

When JCPenney ran a Christmas ad a few years ago showing a same-sex couple with their kids enjoying the holidays (as much as the holidays can be enjoyed with stuff you buy from JCPenney), that culture war was over.

That’s the most amazing and special thing about libertarians, and almost entirely universal among them - they espouse these ideals, often in a nigh-extremist way, and the very second those ideals turn around and bite them, they’re against it and “there oughta be a law” and so on.

“Look, just because we’ve shot at black people for holding a cell phone or trying to get into their own home, or while lying flat on the ground with their arms outstretched, or knelt on their neck until they’re dead while showing no emotion at all, that’s no reason for this frightened look on your face just because…

By my math, this young woman had two children before she was even a legal adult—it’s staggering to think of how profoundly our society failed her and her children, that she had to leave her children alone in a motel to go work a job. It is shameful that this kind of shit is so common.

You just defined the very essence of libertarianism: only I should be able to do whatever I want.

I will continue to be amazed until the I’m lowered into my grave that the idea of “maybe the princess can save herself once in a while” absolutely fucking shattered so many adult brains into of millions pieces.

just...just jaw-to-the-floor astounded to this day.

You’d think a self-identified libertarian would understand voting with ones wallet, but I guess he doesn’t like it when people he doesn’t like do it, eh?

To People who like to yell “Cancel Culture!!”:

So get a fucking biometric gun safe. When my wife and I decided to get a handgun, a safe was of course a requirement. And what we ended up with was one that offers access through either a button combination, or a biometric fingerprint. If I REALLY need access to the gun, I can get it in about one second.
Having them…

Well, yes an no. Modern firearms theology says to keep your guns locked up when not in use, but that is far from a universal agreement. Some people like this nut feel unsafe unless they have instant access to a loaded “gun” at all times. Which is nonsense of course, but it’s a common point of view.

Yup. I have deep Pennsyltucky gun-owning, deer-hunting relatives and they are ADAMANT about proper gun handling and storage. They also stick to rifles and handguns (no showoff AKs), obey all regulations, kill as quickly and cleanly as possible, track any animal they wound and use every possible part of the animals…

I am similarly reminded of a different quote.  When Kenneth Lay, evil overlord of Enron, died, Henry Rollins quipped:  “Good.  Stay dead, motherfucker.”

For those of you that are, like me, in desperate need of some good news:

“Dunder Mifflin Chevrolet, may I help you?”

It’s just mind-boggling. I never could have guessed it would be this bad.

There should be some kind of ´Stand Your Ground’ exception allowing one to tase non mask wearing assholes legal-consequences free. I am only half kidding.
