Cowards.

I mean history is ambiguous about it, but it usually tends to be more bad than good. Usually.

So the suspect is a video game Anyman protagonist. That oughta narrow it down.

He needs a squirrel-sized Iron Man suit.

Yeah my Gen-X childhood hell started making a lot more sense when I realized just how bad the lead problem was back in the day. It also explains the huge spike in graduations literally starting the year after I would have graduated. (I bailed and got a GED easy peasy).

In America that bill could force you to choose between food or rent.

You know I'm in favor of our (American) military defense of Taiwan against the CCP, but...

You can't spell murder without laughter.

This is America, so unfortunately gun crime is just something there's no fix for. 🤷

As a disabled person (barely) surviving on SSDI I'd like to suggest that when you're the one who starts a war then you become a legitimate military target.

No it's more like when you say "frick" instead of "fuck."

Oh don't worry, they won't stop you from getting the anesthesia - they're just going to make you pay 1000% above the wholesale price of it. Which you can negotiate down just like Blue Cross does. Good luck with that though. Anyway who knows, maybe their CEO will go visit New York.

Hey gun crime is just a reality we have to live with, according to the Republicans in Congress. So I don't see any reason to make a big fuss just because this rich bastard accidentally feel into some bullets, instead of the usual bunch of innocent children or random black person the cops decided to shoot while face down and in handcuffs. No, I'm sure the police have much more serious police matters to attend to, like civil forfeiture on somebody carrying a large amount of cash or selling appropriated weapons to drug cartels.

Ever watched Dirty Jobs? Guess where all the Las Vegas buffet leftovers end up. It's even grosser than you'd think.

Eh, gendered nouns are just an old holdover. At least English (usually) uses words to improve specificity. For example, "Pick up my medicine" as opposed to "pick up medicine." It seems redundant to some until suddenly you need to specify after the fact.

The more precise the language the fewer chances of miscommunication. A perfect language would be precise and unambiguous without deliberate effort (as opposed to laziness, slang, shorthand, etc.) which is probably completely impossible to craft, much less about.

It'll get shot down by exactly who you think.

4'33"? So like 6'9"?

Oh. I see what they did there.

Let's just hope some military brass arrests him when he tries to abolish the constitution or something.

If he's not a threat to America (domestic) then I'm a moon rock named Phil McCracken.
