lived in Louisiana
i could be wrong, but with the abundance of delicious fish sources in LA, i suspect they don’t want people fishing and eating well for cheap instead of buying food at the store. also everything would be fished out of existence
lol i really hope the fishing licenses go from ~$10/year to $14.99/month (OR save money by buying yearly! only $120/year!!!) while it’s nothing but republicans in charge
standing still trying to get a gun out of wherever they might have it
this is why i said “get capable” in the first comment, which for some reason too many people think just obtaining the gun is enough to be able to use it safely/correctly, and that’s not the case.
fair points about the “stand your ground” stuff though. i live in a rural bumfuck area and am always telling out of towners don’t EVER drive up on someone’s property if a) they don’t know you and b) they’re not expecting you. the census bureau couldn’t even hire anyone to do exactly that to collect census data; they started with an offer of $15/hr and had to keep raising the offer. it ended up at like ~$20/hr
he likely would have been killed instead of just getting getting wounded
you are basing that on…what? the fact that he was only wounded is irrelevant. he could have just as easily been killed. or the shooter could have missed, in which case it probably would have never even made it to the news. either way, this vapid argument of “having a gun = you’re going to get killed, therefore, don’t have a gun” needs to go away. if someone’s going to shoot you, they’re going to shoot you. and the number of those “someones” is increasing by the minute.
again, do what you want. i’m packing
liberals will be gone, though. unless we sit down and seriously reconsider how we define “acceptable” and “unacceptable” as far as what actions we’ll take to preserve not only democracy, but our lives
aka exactly what the first ten amendments–the bill of rights–was supposed shield the citizenry from
it’s been fun folks. but the “great american experiment” is over. not even 250 years. a pretty pathetic performance as far as nations go, though at least it beats the confederacy
funny, i said something similar in another post
and you’re right. but we can get a lot more done from in hiding than we can from inside a padded cell
She added: “And the other thing that’s interesting, I was thinking about this the other day, is that eventually regimes make science and medicine bow to their ideology. So the communists would, you know, use psychiatrists to say that dissidents or journalists who didn’t agree with the regime had to go to psychiatric hospitals.
this is extremely dangerous (because what do you do when a state-owned “psychiatrist” accuses you of being “mentally unstable”? say “no, i’m not”?), especially now with facial recognition technology–remember they were able to find most of the j6 insurrectionists, aided by social media posts. and that was before a blatantly fascist dictator owned the NSA, FBI, etc
if you’re going to go above the radar, then you need to be careful. mask up, leave your phone at home, cover tattoos–all of it. assume any place you’re protesting is covered by 24/7 surveillance cams. i live in a tiny town and even here, there really isn’t a spot downtown that isn’t covered by at least 2 cameras, let alone the spots where people protest
if you have people who depend on you being alive especially kids, elderly parents, friends/family who are less than 100% white/straight/male/documented/evangelical/etc-- it’s really time to get rid of the anti-gun mindset
yes, zero guns = zero gun crime
but that’s never going to happen. what we’ve had and will have for the forseeable future is a fascist state, full of “patriots” just waiting for a reason (or no reason) to shoot someone with impunity, as evidenced by the OP article and countless others. will justice be served? probably not. should you bring a knife nothing to a gunfight?-- NO.
your choice is your choice. but a lot of the noble ideas of making society better-- no guns, better healthcare, better environment, better education, and on and on-- that’s all out the window for now, and it’s time to think of survival. because people are still getting shot in the back for no fucking reason whatsoever.
get armed. get capable. do not let decent people become extinct because of “nO gUnS eVeR” stuff—that’s exactly what they want
we are all doordash drivers
unfortunately every single wrong/false/bullshit lie that spews from his face anus like diarrhea from a firehose is basically the literal word of god gospel to the hordes of brainless moronic maga sheep, no matter how many laughably blatant contradictions you point out
we have always been at war with eurasia
in case you haven’t caught on: the objective is NOT to save money, be more “efficient,” improve anything…the objective is to reduce the functionality of the government to zero
if you need, or might need tech in the near future, BUY IT NOW. not just because of the price hike, but because there won’t be anything left to buy
10 years ago i was a lot dumber. i’m the first to admit: i voted jill stein because i didn’t care for hillary, but she was going to win. trump was a laughingstock joke even back then, and the polls and the hype around hillary bamboozled me. not that my vote would have changed it, but clearly a lot of people thought the same
that’s when i learned my fucking lesson about voting 3rd party. never. again.
education. eliminate the humanities from the curriculum (also book bans) = no empathy = racism/“i just smoked a dude”/etc. eliminate science/critical thinking = unquestioning obedience = muh paw is a preacher and says _________ are bad people, so we shoot’em
the list goes on…honorable mention: absurd “my AR15 is who i am” gun culture
dude i would vote for sloth’s diarrhea before trump
don’t do sloth dirty
i hope every fucking 3rd party voter has to choose between rent and eating along with all the pridefully ignorant bumblefuck maga knuckledraggers
edit: LOL i love how the “vOtE 3rD pArTy!!!” chuds have literally nothing to say anymore–can only downvote.
“i DoNt WaNnA vOtE fOr GeNoCiDe!!!”
great job, fucko. now we have genocide in gaza AND in america
enjoy your fucking tariffs. and if you’re less than 100% white/male/straight/evangelical/republican, then enjoy all the things that go along with being “other” in a fascist state (hint: fucking genocide)
there’s another pointless bullshit stone age tradition that’s long overdue for going the fuck away forever
christopher hitchens (R.I.P.) says it better than anyone ever has or will:
yet again the reddest states benefiting the most from govt handouts vote to eliminate govt handouts and are now surprisedpikachu
