That was the worst. I loved it.

I missread that as “ruining”.

Unless these chemicals are extremely likely to cause cancer, it is probably the least cancerous thing on our gear. It’s usually covered in soot and all kinds of nasty shit. We make a huge effort to keep them out of the cab of the truck, wash them everytime they get used, and we don’t just hang out in them because of the carcinogens that get on them from use. Also, a firefighter smoking is not as common as it used to be. Far less than most other fields. Our job requires us to be in great cardiovascular condition and the few smokers get chastised for it. The culture has drifted away from being a smoke eater, we take tons of preventative measures to keep the cancer out of our bodies, but we know it’s still likely going to happen.

Loudly, from the roof tops, “I accept your debate at ABC” Make him decline again.

I get that being trapped in a tube that is essentially a tiny little bubble of habitable area in the vast, hostile, emptiness of space can already be super claustrophobia inducing and they are vetted and trained for that. But it seems once you are up there and you realize the world’s leaders in space, and the people that sent you can’t figure out how to get you home, that would trigger that panic in anyone. If there is an emergency you have no escape and there is no rescue coming.

They literally have built their entire careers on baseless claims that even their followers know are BS, they just chose to believe because they just want to echo their hatred. All of their shit is baseless and they scream it from the rooftops until it sticks. It’s just a shit post in a different form. Their entire campaign is a baseless shitpost.

So fuck it, JD Vance fucks couches and it’s fucking WIERD. Let it destroy him. Finally we are fighting fire with fire.

Not too bad now days with SSDs and fast boot, but back in the day that may have been a 15+ minute mistake. Getting into windows took several minutes and you would still have several minutes of nearly unresponsivness as background processes booted, including your anti-virus. Usually you clicked the power button and waked away for a bit. And the trick to speeding up your pc was to dig into the startup folder and delete as many programs as possible so they wouldn’t start at boot, because for some reason everything wanted to.

The killing of civilians elicits no response, however, taking out the leader of a terrorist group does?

Meh, she was a DEI Hire. None of her accolades or accomplishments mean anything, haven’t you heard?

I would venture to say that a cop that can’t out fight a criminal is more likely to reach for his gun… but I have zero data to back that up, just common sense.

Fuck it, I’ll say it… if you have a medical trait that makes it risky to do high intensity exercises, don’t take up a career that requires high intensity exercise. The law suit should be directed at the person that did his pre-employment physical and OK’d him to work. Firefighters get physicals and have physical agility tests, cops get physicals and have physical agility tests, as do paramedics (to an extent). The jobs require it in emergency situations so they shake you out in controlled situations. It is what it is. Don’t let your hatred of cops make you gloss over that fact. If they targeted him in any way it is a valid complaint and if their agility test isn’t certified they can get in trouble, but it exists for a reason. If he couldn’t hang, they should have removed him.

Or the more common answer:

“He misspoke and the media is taking out of context.”

Even though he has said it thirty different ways and this just happens to line up with the narrative.

Not shitting on Biden in that comment, just pointing out that “Calling” for something doesn’t mean shit.

If I remember right, he called for Marijuana legalization and student loan forgiveness as well.

No! PoLiTiCaL ViOlEnCe iS bAd!!!

While I never told anyone not to vote for Biden, I definitely openly bitched about him not being capable of speaking and the absolute joke it is. I’m not a fan of Harris, but my God, a sentient adult is amazing.

I was thinking this when everyone was saying it’s too late to change candidates. While that might have been true if a campaign consisted of promoting people’s positives, that’s not what it is. It’s all about finding the dirt on the other and switching candidates late just means there has been less shit talked.

I would suck a dick for a Bernie presidency, but that would require the DNC to do some aggressive shit to appoint someone that they have blatantly fucked over multiple times.

Also, she is a cop/lawyer. She’s prolly pretty good at arguing as long as she can handle the big(ger) stage.

I don’t think we can have a president with one fucking ear anyway.
