Suing the Church of Scientology for wrongful death? Yeah, good luck with that.

They do this literally all the time, not to normalize the idea, but to desensitize you to the accusation. That way, when they do something that is actually fascist, like calling up the Kansas National Guard under the Insurrection Act to go door-kicking in Chicago for illegal immigrants, your brain enters a thought-terminating state of “nothing-burger, both sides, etc.”
Example, they liked to use the word “insurrection” a lot about anything Democrats did following J6.
If the only families pumping out kids are Christian crackpots, that’s a win for them. They want to out-breed you.
This is kind of where I’m at. I don’t imagine any amount of cash in a bank account is going to prepare us for what’s to come. Even if you could put money aside, the money you typically put towards retirement might just be better off towards becoming a doomsday prepper. Probably wouldn’t save you either way, but it may buy you a little time that you wouldn’t have otherwise.
Like others have said, I imagine my “retirement” as bearing witness to the collapse of modern society and ultimately dying in some lousy brawl with other desperate refugees, or by some untreated bacterial infection.
It should be legal to target state-sponsored shills with malware, especially the kind that bricks hardware.
This country will break before anything meaningful happens, just like with chattel slavery.
They wanted to impede the soft power of China in the region. It does make sense in a realpolitik kind of way, but someone with a fucking conscience in the command chain should have stopped this.
The only thing Bethesda is motivated to do, frothing, absolutely chomping at the bit, is figure out a way to successfully monetize modded content.
No, they absolutely used it as a ground-attack incendiary and have admitted as such. They were not flushed out by being illuminated, they were flushed out with choking smoke and burning shit raining down on their positions.
Even if they did only use illumination flares, there are considerations against using them in civilian areas in ways that can start fires or otherwise cause injury to civilians.
The legal issue is moot because the US was not an adherent to these laws until 2009.
The US used the same weapons in Fallujah and likely elsewhere. They called it “shake and bake” when they first fired WP artillery to draw enemy fighters out, then followed up with conventional artillery to kill them.
Nobody can hold the US accountable, so they’re not going to hold their rabid dog accountable either.
I could be considered a gun nut myself but I will not pretend that this behavior is some abnormal outlier. There are plenty, plenty of American gun owners who think like this man does, they just haven’t had the opportunity for their malformed amygdala to get someone killed.
You mention Rittenhouse but he’s a gun culture hero. Zimmerman and the like, all heroes. People who get to use their gun to lay down the law like the Earp posse are generally seen as heroes when they don’t completely fuck up like this guy, they’re not shunned as short-sighted and reckless.
Even back then, once the public support died down a bit they just had the NYPD bulldoze the whole thing. Since then the police have only gotten more brazenly violent against protests that are not in the establishment’s interests.
Shit will get “wild” when instead of picket signs and bullhorns, people start bringing rifles and pipe bombs. Otherwise the outcome of any meaningful protest will be the same no matter how many people show up: an unforgiving police crackdown.
In the conservative household children do not have agency. They are simply the father’s progeny, and are expected to carry on their ideals and generally act in ways that please them.
Imagine ripping off the fucking US Army for…9mm handguns.
I feel like this should have been released closer to tax season? Now the big filers will have 10 months to strategize and try to sabotage the use of this service before it hits their bottom line.
And naturally it’s a reverse-engineered BD Spot, likely even down to the software. Why put money into R&D when your adversaries do it for you?
Backwoods small town yee-yee crap.
I’ve often wondered how many bodies are buried out in the sticks that never get found because the locals, including the local sheriff’s office, all cover for each other.
This is hardly the only sketch thing AK Guy has done, and certainly not the worst.
I think that honor goes to inviting Kyle Rittenhouse on for a video.
With something like 2/3 of American military-age men being too overweight or obese to serve, these drugs would likely be considered strategically essential in any [hopefully] theoretical throwdown.
