I don’t care.

It’s certainly an aspect to impress on children that, despite what Mommy And Daddy TV taught you, guns are not things good kids play with.

A third world country is one that is neither aligned with nor opposing the American empire. I’d say the USA is a second world country, because it’s its own greatest victim.

being disabled involves the same sort of stigmas

saying the school would blow up if anyone looked in his backpack sparked fear

If you can’t tell a serious threat from mouth noises coming from a 13 year old autistic boy, then I guess its good you presumably don’t work with children.

teaching respect for firearms at a young age is not stupid in the hellscape of a nation you live in.

There’s no benefit to being passive aggressive about it. Just be honest, direct, and tell them, “I don’t care.”

Yeah but he makes more for the same work so obviously he’s more important…

There is a prophylactic for rabies. The squirrel had to be destroyed because it bit a human whose job it was to work with animals suspected of having rabies. These people are already trading human well-being for the sake of the price of a slightly expensive shot. It’s theater to suddenly pretend to give a shit about rabies after you’ve had one of your employees get bit.

I wonder why animal control officers who handle animals suspected of having rabies DON’T HAVE THEIR FUCKING RABIES VACCINATION. I needed a thousand dollar shot just to volunteer for a fucking animal shelter.

I have had the belief for a few years that the rise of fascism is an emotional response to being afraid of an uncertain future that people feel like they have no power over.

I am thinking of doing an estate sale on myself. :-/

Replying because I need to think about how I’m going to vote for this comment and plan to come back later.

It is important that we understand these people, who are our family and neighbours. This isn’t a person who is seeking a “platform”. Labeling them “jerkoff whackjobs” is emotionally gratifying, but it doesn’t give you useful insight. Indeed, it’s a way of turning off your brain and not thinking deeply about it. It’s a defense mechanism against things that are disturbing and difficult to understand and process.

Of course it ignores that, that was not the subject of discussion. You’ve just moved the goal post. I’m sure that was unintentional. Perhaps review the thread.

You’re not the boss of me. And in no moral position to criticize.

So, a bit more than one pound, instead of a bit less. *shrug* Not sure the difference was worth your abusive rhetoric.

Fair play, mod. I have a personality disorder and some of my dark humour/coping came though. I feel for people like VH who, like myself, have enormous difficulty dealing with people.

I’ve only ever seen the Queen in this regalia and I can’t not see it as crossdressing when Charles does it.

I was in favour of mummifying HRH so that her preserved corpse could continue to be our figurehead leader. Honestly, as stupid as it sounds, I don’t think anyone can argue that it’s more stupid than the status quo.
