I guess it wasn't a threat after all and they were just shouting out their kink

The funniest common combination I see on cars is the Gadsden flag (don't tread on me) and the thin blue line flag (support for cops). I don't know how to read that any other way than "I support cops targeting those people."

I encourage you to read up on prior presidents if you think Trump is some kind of anomaly.

If that's all it takes to silence the guns, then they don't deserve the guns.

Any time someone brings up the draft I remind them the last time the U.S. did a draft it was for a war that they lost, and justified due to things that never actually happened after the U.S. lost.

So basically the U.S. enslaved and sent tens of thousands of people to their deaths for no reason.

The military industrial complex needs its regular sacrifice every decade to keep the black heart pumping.

Ha ha, I just looked it up: there are five Domino's Pizza restaurants in Vietnam.

Well it largely never played out because western capitalists spilled so much blood making sure it wouldn’t. If people had been free to decide for themselves, many more countries would have gone communist, as it has better outcomes for the majority of people than capitalism.

Well, my co-worker is weak but definitely not omnipotent.

I honestly don't think he has PTSD, doesn't seem the type. He spent the war riding around in an M48 tank so I don't think he saw any shit up close. More like a B52 pilot than an actual combatant.

Tipping is weird on its own. The idea that you are showing gratitude by pushing money on someone is gross at best and downright offensive at worst.

If someone tried to thank me with a hand full of change I'd tell them to fuck off.

I think a more accurate shorthand for this would be "tipping culture"

that's because they're not left, at all.

"I pledge allegiance to the the Flag of the United States..."

Unless you think the flag is a god, you're not pledging to a god, you're pledging to a piece of fabric, or to the design printed on that fabric. Which, honestly, is a lot weirder. How can one have allegiance to a flag? What about the opposite, is it possible to be disloyal to a flag?

COINTELPRO: surveil and oppress and facilitate violence towards black folks for daring to not want to be quite so oppressed

MKUltra: jerk off dolphins while playing with acid

That was infuriating the whole way through. I don’t exactly want to recommend reading further, because it’s just a depressing story all around, but this was well written and provided the piece of information I was shamefully burning with curiosity about

(I wanted to use a gif courtesy of BabyFarkMcGeeZax, but it seems my instance hasn't changed the 100MB default file limit and my client crashes. This'll have to do)

Following the killing, some argued that had Hattori been white, Bonnie Peairs may have not reacted the way she did. The Haymakers stated in an interview following the trial that had Hattori been white, they believed he would have never been killed, noting that Bonnie Peairs said that she first noticed that Hattori was "darker colored" than her.

I'm inclined to agree. Although the wife/instigator denies it, deeply learned/inherited societal racism affects nearly every relevant choice.

The 10th Anniversary edition was released around 2022, and rebuilt the entire game in Unreal 5 to closely match the style of Qube 2, with extremely HQ textures and lighting, redesigned levels (they took out the secret levels and dev photos, sadly) and a fully voiced plot! I only played this version but it seems a fantastic homage for fans of the original

I got into a bar fight with a pop tart once. Super aggressive guy. He knocked a couple of my teeth out and gave me a nose bleed. By the end he had me pinned down, but I managed to break free and throw him into the nearest toaster. Savored that meal.

EDIT: I might have dreamt this.

I once tasted a real proper tart. Served at the wake of a late boss at a golf club house. English tea times sometimes include simple jam tarts. Both envoke tranquil and enjoyability. All my experiences with the Pop Tart were under rush, duress, haste, a sugar-to-blood delivery system. One can tell easy when we (USA) aggravate the food. Like turning doughnuts into donuts. Or spell cheese with a 'z'.

blood and soil

sheesh😬

Pop Tarts are super aggressive. In addition to being made of no natural foodstuffs, they are extremely flammable when in a toaster.

This checks out as the French are the second biggest arms dealer in the world.

That others are also aggressive doesn't mean we are not.

Shot, man, shot.

The german one started out as a poem then song that was meant to unite states through their artists and academics. While the nazi abused it and skewed the meaning to be aggressive (germany above all other countries), it was initially about unity (Germany above whatever the princes of the individual states of the German Confederation want).

Aggressively casual. 😉
