Even on “safe” planets, the average person is basically a slave doing endless, arduous labor with no concern for their lives or well-being, all under the merciless thumb of Imperial dogma. It’s just a bad place to end up.

Once a fully-automated economy comes to fruition (or at least the perception of one), billionaires think they are the only individuals enlightened and valuable enough to be worthy of its boons. Once they no longer need our labor or our consumption, we are just chaff.

Garden won’t do you any good if someone with a gun can take it from you.

If the President of the United States can resign in one sentence, so can I.

There are different hitch ball sizes. I’ve got one lying around that has 3 ends.

The ones in the back need extensions to the ground to match their ridiculous lift kits, otherwise the trailer would tip ass backwards.

Idaho-Montana is white supremacist doomsday preppers, but it looks like someone scrubbed something to that effect out.

Going srs on the meme here, but irregular fighters are generally terrible. No standard of training or fitness, no command structure, no logistics networks. Fighting behind enemy lines with little to no support is usually the bailiwick of highly trained commandos, not tubby white dads who go hunting once a year during 6-day rifle season. All these people would be fodder without getting their shit together first.

Oh, and we’re proving ourselves to be a bunch of yellow-belly cowards every single day the Republicans remain in power. There is not an ounce of martial pride in being an American.

…HIPAA has one P.

This is probably one of my bad takes, but here goes.

I imagine for some people at least, saying “I’m asexual” is easier than saying “I’ve been subjected to some sort of sexual trauma that makes the idea of being sexually involved with anyone incredibly painful and therefore I have no interest.”

But I guess someone can come to have no sex drive without trauma? But that’s hard for me to wrap my head around too, like someone who doesn’t enjoy food, or music.

He was still a wealthy prince, no? If he was charming and kind on top of that, I think a lot of women wouldn’t mind, even ones that aren’t furries or monsterfuckers.

If I’ve ever watched the movie I don’t recall it at all, admittedly.

Do they say they’re actual human remains? They make realistic facsimiles specifically for testing things like they test.

It wouldn’t stop a direct nuclear strike of course, but it would help protect you from falling debris, broken glass, and flash burn/blindness if you were some miles from the impact.

Cowboys were just that, boys that worked with cows. It was (and still is) shit manual labor that didn’t pay well and it was often minorities that were stuck with it. They were not gunslinging lawmen or outlaws. If they could afford a firearm at all it was usually a shotgun or small bore rifle for hunting game while on their cattle drives.

Pardoning Nixon did lasting damage to the union, of which we are suffering the consequences right now, so no.

I think it was CBD oil but this is the gist of it. Went to prison for years. Started a podcast afterwards, maybe streamed on Twitch a bit, but he can never legally touch a firearm again.

Should also be mentioned that he is not Russian at all and is just some kid from Georgia playing a part, and I am surprised by how many people don’t realize that.

I was always amused that “Sith” translated into “West”. Pretty on the nose.

RE4 Leon is an operative trained to the highest level possible by the US government. Talented enough that he killed his own mentor after he became a superhuman.

Joel is a smuggler. Probably a very good one, like Han Solo, but still. He was picked as much out of desperation as he was for his reputation.

A failed cult would actually fail at some point, as in run out of money and lose the property.

These guys? Nope. I’m not sure a nuclear holocaust would uproot them at this point.

There’s a psychic/tarot reader on the highway near me that’s been around as long as I can remember, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a car parked out front.

Yeah, his convictions rang true, but he ultimately failed to accomplish what he set out to do.

If you got 20 guys with AR-15s together and tried to raid, like, the Glock factory in Smyrna, GA, you wouldn’t meet much resistance either. It’s not like there’s a military garrison there. But you’d be fucked when you got surrounded by the local police, the county sheriff’s department, the state police, county SWAT, state SWAT, the FBI, the ATF, and on and on. Which is basically the equivalent of what happened.

No, but a key tenet is the belief that Jews have a “higher purpose” in life than gentiles, and unfortunately this manifests as ethno-religious supremacy in the more conservative circles. A lot of the rhetoric surrounding Gaza is that Jews have a biblical right to the land over…the people that actually live there.
