I was trying to figure out wtf people were doing in Spore (the video game.)

I’m glad he didn’t, saggy old man turd boobs should stay covered

Nobody wants to see that…

I’m just going to hope that FratBoiBret introduced him to boofiing and Alito is recovering from alcohol poisoning.

Maybe he won’t recover…

Ted Cruz is a penis, and posting his picture violates indecency laws, like displaying genitals to minors.

If his brain started dribbling out his ears, or something similarly odd and mostly fatal…would they give a reason?

Or should I not get my hopes up?

… not what I was thinking. The level of stupid that comes out of her mouth whenever she speaks is a massive turn off for me.

What I was thinking, However….

Is that it is illegal to carry a fire arm while Intoxicated

I suspect that, serving a person who is armed to the point of intoxication (which, seems stupidly easy to do, based on the above link,)… is a great reason for someone to yeet her liquor license.

Edit: the new bar and grille has no connection and doesn’t seem to be firearms-permissive. Damn I’m too late.

-he’s moved to the right on immigration reform, going so far as to had republicans legislation that is basically what they wanted.

-Israel. Genocide. Basically sucking Netanyahu off like a goober.

-failed his promise to protect voting rights.

-failed his promise to codify RvW.

-the environmental/climate change is mostly corporate subsidies; the progressive stuff in the passed legislation wasn’t his. It was pushed for by progressive congresspeople.

-his economy is really only benefiting corporations and rich people, the average American is still hurting… not that he’s noticed… he seems to think we’re all corporations and rich people they way he talks.

You asked, I answered. That trump is infinitely worse doesn’t make Biden not-evil.

Which. Case in point, supporting genocide is fucking evil. Full stop. There is no “oh but so and so would support it more, so it’s okay.” That’s a fucked up argument. And you fucking know it.

It doesn’t make Biden beyond reproach.

It’s intellectually dishonest and morally reprehensible.

From a local source , sounds like the cops were responding to reports of shots fired and a An with a gun.

So. Given that he’s being charged with a felony….

…. Assault with a deadly weapon, sounds about right,

Netanyahu: US promised to lift hold on ammunition, weapons (jpost.com)

The United States is expected to lift its hold on the shipment of ammunition and weapons designated for the IDF, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Office said on Tuesday, just one day after the Israeli leader accused the Biden administration of preventing the delivery of those arms....

To add to this, the repugs are going to demand user access data next and identity confirmation stuffs.

They’ll see everyone’s porn habits. And have addresses for everyone watching anything except all the fucked up incest porn.

Republicans, which yeah. They like to talk about “small government” when it comes to billionaires and taxes, it really, that’s about it.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Im not sure ISP’s wouldn’t fight against turning that data over- and it would be hard to prove that it’s necessary for some kind of law enforcement access. (Unless they outright make porn illegal.) which would make it hard to acquire the necessary warrants (normally).

Whereas, it would be a relatively simple enforcement claim to say they need to see all that data to ensure PH’s identification compliance.

57 major accidents-

It should be said that most of our accidents don’t result in Chernobyl like death tolls, but then, Chernobyl is in a class all its own.

As bad as TMI was, and it’s the first one that came to my mind, it didn’t have any direct deaths. It was ridiculously close to having a massive death toll, and it cost like 2 billion to clean up over… decades…?

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty sure people kill more people than any other cause combined.

Could be wrong. Depends if you count manufactured famine and healthcare crises as part of that.

We should get off fossil fuels, but I don’t see nuclear as a way of doing that. Solar, wind, and hydro (tidal is interesting. Micro hydro could have uses without destroying entire ecosystems.)

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Radioactive materials (particularly gases,) were released so, it’s not quite perfect, but yes. TMI was much, much to be preferred over other possible outcomes of the accident.

considering other articles linked on the website apparently include “the Case of the 2 Miners that met the Ctones” (which seems to be some kind of advanced civilization that lives under ground… that kept him from leaving for 5 years, but then paid him diamonds and let him go or something…) and “100,000 year old electrical connector found embedded in stone”… (Aliens!)

I’m gonna go with a great example of “bullshit”.

WANNABE DICTATOR Trump Demands that All Business Execs Be FIRED If They're Not 100% Behind Trump (www.dailykos.com)

On Tuesday morning Trump provided another example of his tyrannical tendencies. In a comment posted to his floundering social media scam, Truth Social, Trump issued a decree to the world that he imagines is attentive to his crackpot ravings. He demanded that…...

He’s already a nightmare.

He was a nightmare before he was POTUS.

I still have actual nightmares from him as POTUS.

(I wouldn’t say ptsd, I just have incredibly vivid and weird dreams.)

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I’m aware, yes.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

There’s a democrat in the whitehouse who has a vested interest in staying there. And therefore they’ll have all the appropriate resources in place before they show up.

Things like machine gun nests.

(Unless Biden is dumb enough to do half measures for that, too,)

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

So I guess we just let them have the fucking government.

Good game. They win. Surrender now.

Whaaahhhh.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

If they start another insurrection, it may prove necessary to use the the national guard- which is a military force- to clear them out.

But your suggestion that we lose because of optics is absurd. We lose when the constitution is overthrown and lawful and orderly succession doesn’t happen.

At the point they’re breaking down barricades, the optics are already fucked.

It’s exactly this kind of luke warm bullshit that has allowed Trump to remain free and out of court for his myriad of crimes.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

If they set up machine gun nests and military shit like that the Republicans can just claim that that’s a Democrat takeover. Can’t win

That you? (Emphasis mine,)

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

It’s intentional specifically to buy the orange turd as much time as they possibly can, maybe delay the trial until after the election.

Which is incredibly stupid.

EVs that charge overnight don’t use solar…

If I had an ev it would. Because I have solar pannels on my rooftop and my annual energy usage is net negative.

A lot of people have solar panels. And in MN, 54% of our energy is carbon neutral (so, not “effectively NG”,) and the rest of the nation is 41%.

Shill harder.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

/golfclap

I might use NG at night. (I don’t necessarily. My local power is wind, then either NG or Nuclear, which ever is cheaper.)

But my net negative power usage from the grid means that I’m using less energy than I feed in when it isn’t shinning out.

I use 65% of the power I produce, and the excess is fed into the system. That’s annually. So while yes I draw at night, I’m generating enough power during the daytime that it’s more (significantly) more than I use at night. (Moreover, the rates for my usage are less than the rates I get paid for power during the daytime.)

45% of my power generation contributes to that 54% carbon neutral sources in MN.

So, it. Balances out. (And in the near future I’ll get a residential battery for night. Those are freaking expensive, though.)

It’s a way for him to get illegal bribes, it with a veneer of legality.

Like how truth social is worth…, as much as it is, even though it’s losing money at a prodigious rate. Trump cashes out gets his payday, the other investors get whatever favor they asked for, and all the morons that invested get wiped out,

Burry it in the contract clauses stipulating that the event can’t be used to spread hate. Then cancel as they’re spreading hate.

“Sorry, didn’t know who you were, or I would have said something sooner. It was brought to my attention yesterday and today we found you’re a hate group.”

And then hope your security is up to snuff.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

I’d suggest Pinkertons, but they’re pretty fascist. (They’ve been on the wrong side of history for most of their history.)

My company would drop you like a sack of rocks for the stunt.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Nope, I work in contract security, If you’re going to be pissing off fascists like that, I would suggest Pinkertons.

They have a long history providing the kind of security services we don’t really talk about much. Like managing strike lockouts and strikebreaking type stuffs.

If you were going to provoke ravening hordes of red-hatted assholes, they’re the company I’d want between me and the assholes. Even if they are, themselves, frequently on the wrong side IMO- for example all the strike breaking-

@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Not to mention that it’s basically through a self-publsiher for the RNC. (Winning team publishing was founded after Trump got rejected by the big publishers on account of fact checking issues in his memoir.)

So she probably paid to have it published and actually lost money on it.

So much winning.

Considering it takes 2/3’s of both houses to start the process, if they can’t get a bill through, they’re not gonna get an amendment through. And that’s just to get started.

Just for the record, it was understood by people contemporary to John of Patmos, that his Antichrist was Nero.

I’m going to assume that Daniel was similarly being allegorical and referring to someone contemporary to the author- overall, the book of Daniel was largely meant as a message to the Jews of 2nd century BC; to bring encouragement. Literally, that as god protected them in the past, they’d be protected now.

It’s incorrect to say it was a prophetic work referring to the New Testament. (The four of the little horn are Babylon, the Medes, Persians and Greeks; and Selucid Syria and Ptolemic Egypt. The dream-statue-guy empire are Babylon, medo-Persian, Greeks and Rome.)

At no point is it referring to Trump, even if there are obvious similarities.

A lot of the shares are held by people who generally don’t make snap decisions. The reality is Boeing is a military supplier and they’re gonna get taken care of, and they all know it.

The rest of us? When we dump it, the price doesn’t move… the market is as rigged as our politics.

Might be a matter of highest pay check.

Wonder if she realizes Trump doesn’t pay his bills…

I’m sure there’s a stockpile we haven’t shared yet.

“Hey, I need some more weapons!”

“What kind? We got guns. We got bombs. Smart bombs. Drones. Tank shells…”

“Nukes.”

“No. Can’t swing that… already in enough hot water….”

(Turns around,) “WahHHhHa! Biden is woth holding weapons!!!”

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

There’s plenty of ranges that you can rent much more fun automatic weapons, and really the red tape isn’t that bad for that.

Bump stocks legitimately suck.

I’m trying to figure out if she’s saying ‘vote red no matter who’, even if its somebody like Manchin or Sinema… whose not quite as “republican” as she is, if you know what I mean… or she’s saying vote for the shitiest people you know.

@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

people caravan to Canada all the time to get cheap insulin. Or more frequently do a ‘I fly you buy’ type arrangement; with lots of people and people rotating through who runs to get it.

just wait until there are no more legal abortions and they’re reporting deaths from trying to self-abort.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Yup, cuz that’ll make you less awful on immigration!

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

There really shouldn’t be a need for penalties in the first place. This is just more boring “I don’t actually want to fix immigration, but I need to look like I am, so instead I’m going to do this not-even-half-measure to get some good headlines” bullshit.

Generally, spouses of citizens can apply to get a green card (and a k3 non-immigrant visa while that’s pending… but apparently that takes just as long… fuck our goverment.)

Or maybe a K3 should just be granted when somebody applies for a green card to begin with. ask them to check in with somebody once a month until a background check clears or something, and once it does, the K3 is conditional on the green card. You know. Let them become “productive members of society” and that bull shit.

And before somebody says ‘TeRrOrIsM!!!’ or something like that. these undocumented immigrants are already living here. Think about that. if they really were terrorists, do you think they’ll go to the immigration service and ask for citizenship, or a green card? and do you really think actual terrorists are going to bother with getting a k3/green card visa at all? Most are already citizens.

FuglyDuck,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not even close to what’s necessary.

I will say that the pbs article posted gives a better explanation- in that they are doing some of what I’m saying- it just waiving but actively ignoring penalties going forward- but that article is from undisclosed “sources” so I’ll have to wait to make final judgement.

In any case, it’s not progress when you consider how he’s gone so far to the right on every other aspect of immigration.

I’m not asking for perfect. I’m not even asking for good. I’m asking for sufficient, and on the whole, he ain’t.

For those wondering, he’s 37, and he said 29.
