Actually, his father was Moonraker. It’s all part of his origin story.

We may be finding a direct correlation between number of grand jury subpoenas and vociferous, nonsensical appearances by alt-right-appeasing stooges.

“It’s this constant, ‘Oh, it’s the white man. It’s the white supremacists. That’s the problem,’” Gorka opined. “No, it isn’t...Go to Sinjar. Go to the Middle East, and tell me what the real problem is today. Go to Manchester.”

I think he’s like Milton in “Office Space” where he actually got fired months ago but no one bothered to tell him and, due to a computer glitch, he still continues to receive a paycheck.

Places like North Carolina & Mississippi are already classified as third-world banana republics....

Its only value is in the relative amount people assign to it. Exactly like other forms of currency. The only difference is that its not back by any “country,” which is no difference at all because countries and government are also abstract concepts as powerful as we make them and allow them to be.

And what is the government? A its a repackaging of our primitive pack/herd structure.

Thanks. That makes me feel pretty.

Pokemon cards are literally the only thing in the world of real value. That and pocket lint. You can turn pocket lint into towels and Pokemon cards can be used for anything. They taste great as a tortilla chip substitute in nachos and if you practice hard with them, you can use them to kill a man.

All currencies are a construct of human perception. The value of gold, paper money, this lint I have in my pocket, it’s all relative in value to what we can (for the most part) agree on. Bitcoin is no different. Its more abstract and newer therefore harder to establish consistency and uniformily agreed upon value… I…

No man. Let’s go back to my original point.

Here’s a map of a Walmart. Find the sporting goods section.

Depending on the state, you couldn’t just get booze anywhere. Still can’t. The majority of U.S States have laws specifying which alcoholic beverages must be sold in specialty liquor stores and which may be sold in other venues.

Oh. Well I guess its no big deal then. Probably not an issue that we as a society need to take a look at. If everyone is doing it, then I guess it shouldn’t be a problem.

Even pre Civil War, you could not buy alcohol, prescription drugs, go to an optometrist and buy a gun all in one place. You’re talking about the Puritanical, user-Christian America era there. That’s not at all accurate. And post Civil War, certainly not. Until mass market retailers, specifically Walmart, came along.

And all their guns are sold in the sporting goods section, not on the shelf next to toilet paper.

NBD just keep normalizing the fact that guns are the 3rd leading cause of death for American kids. Totes whatevs man pass the Sunny D.

… a gunsmith, then general store, then sears roebuck catalogue, then department stores, and now big box stores.
