Does anyone else find it wild that the first confirmation of his death (apart from anyone who had eyes and saw the wound) comes from the President of the United States? Who did not extend the same formality to the lawmaker assassinated in Minnesota just a few months ago?

    Our best hope is the GOP imploding due to the massive power vacuum Trump’s death will create. There is a lot of discontent among Republicans right now, they’re all just too afraid (or still too loyal) to Trump to oppose him directly. But Vance? He has the charisma and popularity of a wet paper towel. There will be no hesitation throwing him under the bus.

    My guess is Barron. If he's trying to imitate NK, establishing a dynasty and getting rid of elections would be the starting point. And with all the talk of a 3rd term.... my guess is that's the goal. No dictator lasts forever, so ensuring a favorable transfer of power is vital. And if trying to deify yourself, the next closest thing is your progeny.

    "I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

    Imagine living your life in such a way that when you're violently murdered, the only thing people have to say about it is to quote all the hateful shit you said.

    Yeah brother tried to text me to tell me how sad. I shot back that I was glad he was dead. Sometimes my brother forgets I am not one of them.

    So nazis are talking about how wonderful he is? Yeah, they're nazis. He was a nazi. He spread religious hate speech as much as he possibly could.

    He wasn't a 'far right political influencer"

    He was a common nazi.

    In some cultures, a bullet to the carotid artery is a sign of admiration.

    Edit: I just wanna make it clear that I don’t support violence. This line just occurred to me and it was too funny not to post, even though it’s pretty dark.

    I cancelled them out. My prayers to the Allfather were clearly stronger. Or perhaps their god doesn't listen to their hypocritical assess.

    If their God were real, he would FUCKING HATE Republicans. The shooter hasn't been caught yet, maybe God was hiding behind a cloud with a sniper rifle. Zadkiel telling him to go for a headshot, Azrael says that's a pussy shot because it's such a big target. Gods like "bet, watch this shit."

    You know that JFK assassination game where you get points for getting as historically accurate as possible? I wonder how hard it'd be to mod in the scenario you're describing.

    Thanks I got Fallout 1 and 2 on my 12th birthday circa 2011 and it has been a problem for all involved since then.

    Lol I feel that. I've been playing since 2. My kids been on fallout 4 for 2 years. I had to buy a new soap dispenser because it looks like the blowtorch. He convinced me to buy a steel bucket, basically anything that looks like loot from that game. Now I'm working on an old lunch box for him, in vault-tec style but I have to do it surreptitiously because it's a surprise.

    That's adorable. Hope he enjoys his lunchbox. Also may I suggest checking out estate sales to see if you can get him an actual antique blowtorch the heavy brass type ones? They're surprisingly common, I used to work estate sales so I saw quite a few.

    I've seen some at this combined "garage sale" thing. But the guy was busy and I meant to go back but got distracted and forgot. We stop at antique stores from time to time and pick up stuff. He's always wanting me to get more ashtrays but it's like no, the one is enough. There's no reason for a 10 year old to have a collection of ashtrays.

    Edit: old typewriters are fucking expensive these days!

    The reason old typewriters are expensive is that basically no one makes new parts so folks have been buying up old ones to scrap for parts. Same thing happens with vacuum tubes in some cases.

    Makes sense. Im sure he'd be happy with one even if it didn't work, it's just hard to justify paying that much for something that's essentially a big, heavy paperweight. He's also been after Grammys old "pro snap" camera for a while now lol.

    Poor kid to want so much but to not have, I know the feeling well. Do you know how long it took me to get a vacuum tube tester kit? Literal years eventually found one with like 4 boxes of new old stock vacuum tubes still in their 1950s Sears shipping box. But yeah a lot of antique tech is starting to wear out and become super rare and the small scale shops that do produce reproductions and replacement parts are still few and far between, especial since a lot of them are effectively starting from scratch.

    Damn, that's awesome that you got new old stock! Well the unfortunate thing is that this area used to be a haven for antiques. Unfortunately the only antique store left within 2 counties deals mostly in high end light fixtures. And don't you worry. That kid gets mostly what he wants. He's a sweet, responsible kid and both gets rewarded, and he works for money to buy things. Even bought his own second hand massage chair for $100, but also his own used TV for $40, without even asking if I would buy one for him.

    Only religious assholes like Kirk would assert that this is some stupid religious bullshit, like 'karma'. That's not real, and neither is Kirk's hate religion.

    Only people can make justice, not imaginary bullshit gods or 'forces of the metaverse'.
