A reminder to all those who want to buy a gun for protection, get training and not just shooting at paper.

I can tell you that even just being a hunter, you’re reaction to a situation that will involve potentially taking a life, you’re not going to react the way you think you will when adrenaline is pumping through you.

Yup. Snatching defeat from the stomach of victory.

I mean these spinless MF’ers had to reach down deep, past the jaws of victory, just to pull out the comfort of being a conservative.

Shaheen, one of the seven Democrats (and one independent) who dropped their demand for a guaranteed extension of Obamacare subsidies, spoke to Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade on Monday morning.

So she was bragging to Fox on her and her co-collaborators conservative bonafides.

Still don’t care that a billionaire is doing “charitable works”. It’s wrong that anyone has to depend on the graces of the wealthy to notice a go fund me to afford healthcare.

Just more global backsliding of democracy due to old people being racists.

Jesus, this is a shit show on my machine.

Apparently watchtower started the update and now I’m stuck on the startup screen with Perform migration 20241112234144_FixMediaStreams2 since just after midnight.

ETA: over 24 hours now and still fucked, probably going to have to blow the entire things away and rebuild, what a horrible release.

Soy bean market given, 40 billion given, and now we’re giving them the American beef market too? Damn, talk about being America first.

Probably “Be Whiter!” to his kids.

And what are American’s going to do about it?

Nothing but vote for Republicans that caused it in the first place.

They still are but I’ve learned to love the block list and use it judiciously with people who go beyond good faith arguments of any sort.

Been lucky enough to have been able to visit Hong Kong before the takeover, Germany, the Netherlands, India and my wife was able to go additionally France and Costa Rica.

Never had a problem with international travel and never felt unsafe in any of those places personally outside of trying to drive, just once, in India, was enough for me and took up my company’s offer for a driver. My wife had no issues with any of her traveling with or without me either.

His wife is just as complicit and thinks she’s white adjacent enough so no sympathy for her at all.

And these guys were 24 - 35. None of them were kids.

And they’ll be right back after a few weeks.

Because the American people and the media like the Washington Post and CBS will whitewash it all away and it’ll be just a blip in the minds of Americans because they’re what George Carlin says they absolutely are.

Unless we are actually talking to our relatives and neighbors and reminding them every damn day about this, nothing will come of this.

It’s bog standard Republicans.

If you’re surprised by this, you’re an idiot.

63%/67% blame Trump/Republicans respectively.

63% also blamed Democrats for the shutdown.

63% also blamed Democrats… That’s just a failure of America and a indictment of Democratic leadership ineptitude in my opinion.

I honestly don’t understand how

1. Americans are this god damn stupid to realize Republicans are literally saying “fuck you, we won’t back down from you dying in the streets.”

2. How bad the Democrats are that they’re failing to capitalize on that message.

And journalist still won’t call the Republicans a racist party.

Democracy died in darkness I suppose.

So as a person who’s been in that back area of a restaurant, we all know the danger zone is anything above 40F to 140F and the closer you are to that median temperature that median temperature the faster that bacteria multiplies, meat, vegetables, doesn’t matter, as long as the temperature’s right and there’s enough moisture there, they’ll breed like bacteria and there are bacteria that leaves toxins behind that will also make you sick.

So given that, I’ve always put stuff into the fridge as soon as were done eating generally following the two hour rule and it’s been sitting out for more than four hours without refrigeration, I’ll usually toss it.
