This is the 'guns don't kill people' argument all over again. Yeah, dude was a danger regardless, but it was Republican propaganda that enabled and brought that danger to the surface. Pretending anything else happened would be a slap in the face to that poor man Mike, who lost his head to fascism.

For anybody looking to make change: don't ask permission, and be not afraid of death.

Mine too. Reading too quickly for that series of words to come out correctly, I guess?

its also a bit hyperbolic to compare full on genocide with electing a fascist.

Did you fall asleep in history class or something? How do you think genocides happen?

Do you make barrels for a living? Do you forge iron with a big hammer? Do you rivet? I would wager not, and this is due to the people who employ people changing with a changing world. Add humans into the equation, and you can see how employers also need to assess that aspect of their operation; changing with the people who themselves change with the world around them.

A great addition to the already awesome tips here is having room mates. You're never too old to shack up with friends or family and save. It's only logical, it cuts down on waste, and makes you grow to be a better person and communicator in adulthood, something the world could always use more of.

I doubt many people here would disagree that we've greatly failed (at least in the US) at all things mental health.

That doesn't however give carte blanche to anybody who wants to spread misinformation, or hate. You keep referring to mental illness when the topic being discussed is mental disability; not the same topic and I'm pretty sure you know that.

You're paranoid, referring to a mysterious, unmentionable "they" looking over us all with puppet master's strings in hand, by definition the only person exhibiting mental illness in this comment section is you.

You then go on to refer to women as though they're some comical object to prove your point anout men. Maybe that is a reach, maybe only I perceived it that way, but it came off gross and I think you should know.

Your view of the world is dark, misinformed, and surprisingly hateful.

An Ohioan approves the above comment.

This should cover their asses on that big lawsuit they just lost for harassing that poor old couple. Projected profits would be down $300m over the period of time they intended to pay this out, I assume, not much of a mathematician. Gross.

I sense some mighty strong projection going on here. The writer comes off like they believe they're correct without the need for any question, completely sure of this idea, for which they provide zero evidence. They then go on to call anyone who disagrees with them ignorant, infantilising and diminishing the opposing point of view before the reader has had a moment to make up their own mind. Meanwhile, the intended audience is being spoon-fed hate and gobbling it up. This is what division looks like. They make you hate your neighbors and demand action from you against them, after all it's what's right: you're a grown up and the opposition needs to be parented. This is the tone that makes sure you never gain power, because you don't believe in moderates, and you downright hate progressives.

The weird thing here is that when you run these sources through one of those media bias websites, TRNN says 'far left bias', and The Hill says 'slight left bias'. Are these bias sites blind; or am I just missing what having a 'left bias' means? Is there some far-left plan by whatever think tank to make me want to support this idea, which I very much do not support? An idea which usually falls under the 'extreme right-wing' category, no less? What the hell?

Aren't Linux people usually programmers anyway? Why develop for developers?

Discs are harder to ruin than they're made out to be. My best example is a physical copy of grand theft auto san Andreas for the original Xbox. I got a free old copy that was considered useless, because it wouldn't read, the shiny side of the disc was scratched pretty deeply. I took it to the game store and told them "I know this probably won't work, but humor me, run this through the resurfacer please", which cost me $2. They have a $30,000 machine which actually grinds an even surface on the shiny side, adding a new layer of plastic they said, but it did in fact work first try. I still use that disc to play the game with no issues whatsoever. If anything, it's the least glitchy copy of GTA I own physically.

I agree with you. It's a catch 22 it though. When you live in a state run by shit birds, they cut off the fed from helping you in every way they can, meanwhile holding their little town hall events and talking to press saying stuff like: ‘the fed doesn't care about American citizens, they're too busy sending aid to [x country] to fix their problems’ and with the very same breath saying how cool it is that they conned the left into giving their state the most funding this year, but the media doesn't hold them accountable anymore and further push the issue "for fear of losing access" to them. The big secret, and the key to the issue in my opinion, is that the media is bought by billionaires who are no longer accountable to reality when reporting the news, the regulatory bodies in this country have been eroded to shit by capitalists, the now obligatory talking point: Citizens United, and that nobody is going to swoop in to save this awful mess from imploding into fascism any time soon. You all need to take personal safety measures; arm yourselves, and train with your weapons in whatever way you can safely afford. These fuckers are coming for us all, and they'll have the full support of a dictatorship soon enough, if we aren't able to get out the vote. UNITE!

An old pot grower's adage goes something like: if the sentencing minimum is for between 1-99 plants, you might as well grow 99.

People like Bud serve as the real life example for this kind of saying sadly.

You ever heard of 'time and place?' Like when you're on line at an ice cream shop; it's not the time, nor the place to whip out your genitals and take a fat, farty shit on the floor... On account of you'd look like a crazy ass hole. If somebody then called you out, and you proceeded to smear the shit all over your face, you'd look like an even bigger, crazier ass hole. Get it? Your above comments are kinda like the verbal equivalent to smearing your own farty shit all over at the wrong time and place. Nobody cares if you do those things, but maybe do them amongst other farty shit boys in your own venue, so you don't stink up the place, 'ya know what I mean?

You don't. Don't take this to be discouraging, you can easily learn the skills, but you can't have no skills, money, or plan, and just send your ideas out into the universe to succeed. It takes time to learn how to do business in whatever field you're planning to enter with your idea. You may get lucky or utilize connections or charisma to get where you want to be, but literally nothing but an idea? Prove your idea and sell it. Otherwise it's just not that great of an idea after all.

If you don't have money to protect the idea legally speaking, you'd just be giving your idea away to a richer person by doing this.

Like when they put interstates through the Southern United States, then had to actually force Florida to enforce drunk driving rules, threatening to take away highway funding iirc. Just one of the million examples I can remember being controversial briefly. I wanna say there was a similar debacle surrounding seat belts. Basically any time the Fed gives you money, it comes with some (albeit basic, somewhat common sense) rules and stipulations.

If we gave them land, they'd use it to wage war and try to take the rest. There can be no defederated states, you're in or you're out. If they want out, they can find a new land to call home.
