… Sir, this is NCD.

All that happens here is openly mock decisions made by scared old rich men.

USA resident here, honestly even if we flip every R seat to a D (and hopefully some Is and some new party letter further left than D?) I still say keep your distance, clearly we can’t be trusted not to go insane every 4 years.

Can’t even be relied on to feed it’s people.

The biggest fucking joke of an empire in human history.

“well you see, it’s perfectly reasonable that he murdered a surrendered soldier, as he was just following orders!”

The “just following orders” defense still going strong 80 years later.

I’m sure it’s going to be used a lot in the coming decades, assuming the governments actively involved in horrifying human rights abuses ever see any sort of reform…

I hadn’t heard about this before this morning.

Now I want to watch everything that was going to be presented.

You know you’re winning at life and on the right side of history when you threaten people’s families to prevent them from showing an indie movie.

Oh look, a convincing argument for murder!

It really reads like the homeowner was one of those “I hope someone breaks in so I can legally murder them” kinds of gun owners. maybe they no idea what they were even shooting at, but I’m willing to bet they looked out the window and thought “brown skin, must be gangs fox was right”

I will happily ignore people knocking on my door until they go away. Trying the door knob will certainly get my attention but just to yell at you, not enough to grab a gun.

I’m a big fan of the “turn all lights on, make as much noise as possible and yell to whoever is in your house you ‘have a gun and know how go use it so get the fuck out’” approach.

Nobody who is breaking in to steal stuff wants to kill you (probably) and knowing they have a chance of getting shot themselves from an occupant they didn’t expect is a huge motivator for them to get the fuck out.

If their motivation isn’t to steal, and is in fact to harm you, then you have lost nothing by doing this. They already expect you to be there and want to hurt you, so do what you have to.

I’m being cautious enough to not shoot my roommate who got home from their trip two days early, my friend who drunkenly stumbled in after his phone died at the pub, my neighbor who needs help but can’t articulate it, or a random stranger who mistakenly walked into the wrong house (this one has happened to me at least 10 times in my life, mostly when living in apartments).

If that ends up getting me shot at by randos there to kidnap me, so be it. I’m prepared to defend myself and my loved ones. The property they can have, but if anyone comes up the stairs they’re toast.

My point is there should never be a time when you jump out at someone and kill them simply because they are there.

Besides, one of the primary rules of firearm safety is “know your target and what’s behind it” and if you don’t know the person you’re shooting at isn’t there for benign purposes, you don’t know your target.

This is manslaughter at best but I’m willing to hear any argument for straight up murder.

It’s been very telling this week at work.

I live in a very red area and work in a majority red industry. I hear people talking shit about “the libs” all day. I hear tons of coworkers talking shit about anyone on government assistance because the “welfare queens just want free stuff with no work”

It seems that just under 3/4 of the people I work with were getting SNAP benefits.

A box has been set up in the break room so people can bring in food, and others can take what they need.

The shit talking has stopped, at least. No jokes about “welfare queens” anymore.

If I had the money and ability to trust strangers I would hire people to clean my house for me.

I love the loop of “feel bad for not cleaning - depressed - don’t clean - stare at floor - feel bad for not cleaning…”

go fuck a duck

Poor duck…

regardless of who he was as a person, that’s gotta suck for them.

“UNITED STATES PLANS TO START BOMBING MEXICO”

Fixed the headline.

I propose taking that 1k, measuring against the average income of anyone who makes under 1M, and use that percentage of cost of living to fine the company appropriately.

Example: 1k fine for someone who makes 10k/yr, that 1k is 10% of their yearly income, whereas a company that makes 10,000,000,000/yr, that’s only 0.0001%

When it’s time for money: COMPANIES ARE PEOPLE TOO!

When it’s time for punishment: but you can’t hold a company responsible, it’s not just one person.

“the mods who freely give their time to a bootlicking, greedy shithole of a company are also bootlickers! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?” -u/Mboomo

Turns out “market forces” was just the heavy metal poisoning talking, they were just hallucinating magical economics.

Lead in gasoline and household products really fucked with some generations, hard.

… I spent $98 on the cheapest toilet in my area.

It flushes.

10/10

I imagine

With the internet ,you don’t have to!

It’s basically a wall you shoot over, and if you can shoot over the wall, the round doesn’t have the ballistic trajectory to fall into the road.

There are three things you don’t mess with

Mother nature

Mother in laws

And my mother fucking money

No pay, no work.

And what about very old fiends?
