I swear I read this exact comment about the UK after brexit…

Good call.

You can’t go out shooting while you’re drinking. You should be able to smoke whenever you want as long as you’re not inebriated when you’re shooting.

Fully agree, and have alienated myself from former friends over this.

You can drink all day and night. but don’t you dare touch a firearm while drinking. I don’t care if you’re just a little buzzed, man

As far as I’m concerned, smoke weed every day. But don’t you dare touch a firearm while high. I don’t care if you’re just a little toasty, man

Drugs and guns don’t mix. Alcohol is a drug. Don’t drink and shoot.

SNAKE?!

Well, normally I would agree with you but I don’t have neighbors close enough to see me with any sort of camera, and with biking in, flock cameras aren’t going to help anyone with anything.

Unless someone is hiding cameras on hiking and biking trails right around where I live, cameras aren’t going to help identify a generic black blob riding a generic black bicycle as anyone specific.

It’s funny you mention flock cameras though because I was talking to some friends yesterday and none of them had ever heard of flock, and when I pointed out the cameras, they seemed to finally realize they’re under constant surveillance, since over the last year they’ve been popping up all over the city.

I may or may not have “jokingly” suggested we start cutting them down and go full Office Space on them.

It’s crazy just how many cameras aren’t even actively hidden, they’re just in places you don’t normally look. Honestly shows like Person of Interest and movies like Enemy of the State back in the day made me realize just how much surveillance there is on the average citizen, and how little privacy we really have. And that’s fiction. I’m sure the reality is far worse.

Cell phones get left at home, masks and hats help protect identities, and we have radios strapped to our backpacks that have first aid supplies (as well as a few things for if things got spicy) in them.

If you’re going up against technologically up to date nazis, you don’t go using easily traceable things.

Hell, I even used a walking stick so the way I walk is different.

Biked to the meeting spot and locked everything up out of sight.

If anyone we didn’t tell knew we were there, I’d be slightly surprised.

I mean, I’m not French, but If nearly every single media outlet in France refused to sign their government loyalty pledge, I’d find it interesting.

See, the problem here is you’re lumping all of the US in one group, while conveniently ignoring that half of this group is against the use of firearms and is for gun control, and the people who have wet dreams about mowing down “the gays” are the biggest owners of said guns.

They convinced themselves that every other major government in the world, as well as every single scientist and most other people were lying to them about Covid.

I remember extended family members going on about how it’s a hoax as they were dying in the hospital from it

Some people will flip the universe inside out, upside down, and throw it in a blender to make their world view okay.

Lmao ban weather because rainbows make you gay

The problem is that there pushing their culture onto everyone else.

This is so fucking priceless, it should be in a museum.

Please inform me which part of their culture they are “pushing” on everyone else, that way I can ask you why it’s okay for the straights to do it, but nobody else gets to.

LGBTQ people exist. That’s something you can never, ever change. So maybe get over it and stop saying that them existing in public is somehow negatively impacting anyone who isn’t just a scared little bigot.

So which is it, a safety issue, or a “political ideology” issue?

And since when has a group of people existing been a “political ideology”?

Seems like a well-regulated militia would go a long way here.

It’s because some people are still playing by a rulebook that’s burning in the corner trash can. Some people are still concerned with “what’s proper”.

In other words, “because she’s living in a fantasy world where normally that would have been a bad look”

So Texas is trying to kick off a civil war by invading another state.

Well, shit.

I think Putler figured out how to make Trump slam his foot down about Ukranian support.

Dementia Don has already praised this war criminal many times, he believes Putin is a poster child for being a strong man and great leader.

0. Massive amounts of politicians and car company execs gleefully hopping into bed with fossil fuel companies for longer than almost anyone currently living has been around.

Good. Don’t negotiate with terrorists.

It was a table of amoral/evil shit bags before they let a nazi sit there… They just don’t bother hiding it anymore.

With enough people against them their mansions and PMC guards won’t be able to stop the mob.

And as former enlisted, I stand by my belief that ANY MILITARY PERSONNEL who obey treasonous orders ARE GUILTY OF TREASON and should be tried accordingly.

You have a DUTY to disobey unlawful or immoral orders, and report those who issue them.

Unfortunately, in practice today that means “intimidate and maybe shoot some Americans on American soil or spend the rest of your life in a military prison”

But would you rather be able to say “I shot 15 men women and children defending the president from embarrassment” or “neonazis put me in prison because I wouldn’t be a neonazi with them”?
