Pavidus

I just had a very similar conversation last night with some family and friends. There was a time when I would ignore shitty people’s opinions… After all, neither of us will change each other’s minds. However, that’s exactly how we got here. Those seemingly fringe, hurtful opinions now decide things for everyone. I’m not quiet any more.

It did not have sand in the paint. It had the adhesive strips on top of the paint.

So there’s this daycare down the street from me. It has had a rainbow colored access ramp for as long as I can remember.

It’s now painted black.

It could be completely unrelated, but I highly doubt it.

Not anywhere they are interested in being.

Ah yes, but definitely close to an international airport.

Lemme try and feel sorry for my cartoonishly rich tech overlords real quick…

Headline tomorrow: “Trump appeals decision against New York Times, suit remains.”

It’s had me thinking a lot about the tolerance paradox. Where exactly is the line? How should it be handled? Will we get better without violence? Is violence necessary to fight back against dangerous ideas? Who should be the ones holding the line against dangerous ideas? What could we have done differently to ensure we didn’t get here? Will we make any changes or learn anything from this? What duty do we have to protect the marginalized communities that this kind of speech affects?

I’ve certainly drawn some conclusions of my own pondering this, but I still have plenty of unanswered questions.

Honestly, I think you’re simply adding to the point being made. There’s places guns aren’t allowed that are super common in every city, and someone still got shot there? This will only lead to more places having gun bans (since we won’t actually do anything meaningful for gun control)… meaning more places that criminals are the only ones carrying guns around shooting people.

… That’s just common sense though.

All I’m saying is, if I was required to spend hours at work without pay, I would be an absolute prick at work as well.

Yep, you’ve landed right where I did by trying to learn the legal loopholes. We’re in for a wild ride no matter what.

Here’s my understanding, though I could have missed something while trying to navigate the law. In order for Trump to be able to pull this with the national guard, he needs the consent and authorization of the Governor. He would never get this from blue states, so I imagine the goal is to have red states hand him free power, then target the blue areas within that state. Once we’ve normalized it a bit, it’s easier to force it on the remaining states.

All my homies vote for Pedro.

The flip side of this coin is, we also get what we want. Devs get paid, and we get games.

I’m not saying it’s ideal, and I understand your point…but it’s better than not paying. This is just a typical transaction with extra steps.

Bipartisan is a bad word now.

Agreed.

I agree. With the major cash infusion ICE received, I imagine they will start to get brave/stupid.

It’s only a matter of time before masked, unidentified people walking around fucking up people’s lives start getting shot on the grounds of self defense.

Bingo!

I love how when it’s just a nobody, this is presented as “accused gang member,” even without evidence. Meanwhile, rich folks are running around getting kid glove headlines with mountains of evidence against them.
