  • I feel like it is intentional at this point.

    "Okay, that's your right, but it is going to be a hell of a lot harder for us to stay in touch, so if you're okay with putting up barriers to contact, then go right ahead."

  • Not as depressing as what happens if everyone who is informed enough to have meaningful opinions refuses to participate rather than make a choice.

  • I was at my first gun show with an older friend who knew guns better than I did who I was following around to keep me from making any stupid decisions.

    There's a table with a sign for "Constitutional Carry," where they don't think you should need a special license to concealed carry a handgun.

    My friend walks up to these two guys at the table, and says "Hey, just so you know, I hope you guys fail."

    The younger of the two kind of bristles, but the older one, a dude with a long white beard, says "Oh, why?"

    My friend says "Because I worked in a gun shop for fifteen years, and I helped fill out more concealed carry applications than I can count and..." at this point she gestures around at the huge room behind us, "I wouldn't trust 95% of the people in this room with any gun at all."

    And the old dude behind the table smiles and nods his head and says "Yeah, that's a fair point."

    So anyway, that's the day I bought a Ruger GP-100 in 357 Magnum.

  • I fully agree with everything you just said. My point was that if you bring so little to the table that you feel you're in danger of being successfully replaced by a toy, then you need to do some self-improvement.

  • If you can't bring more to a relationship than an appliance can, then you've got to work on yourself.

  • And can we not consider that each of us can so arrange his own particular life so as to make it meaningful to himself and to those he influences? And in that case does not all of life and all the Universe come to have meaning to him?

    Surely it is those who find their own lives essentially meaningless who most strive to impose meaning on the Universe as a way of making up for the personal lack.

  • This, but it's the most basic chemistry of life itself:

  • Republican bill urges "deadly force" to stop abortions in North Carolina

    Jump

  • Let's do a little transitive property game.

    The bill presupposes that there is an absolute moral duty to protect the unborn.

    A theoretical woman is considering an abortion, so it must therefore be okay to murder her.

    Therefore, it is okay to murder someone to protect an unborn person.

    This bill would make it okay to murder women to protect the unborn.

    But that would kill the unborn!

    So, it must therefore be okay to kill in order to prevent this bill from passing.

    So by this bill's own logic, it would be morally correct to kill Keith Kidwell.

    ALL OF THE ABOVE IS PURELY AN EXERCISE IN ARGUMENTUM AD ABSURDUM AND NOT AN ACTUAL PROPOSAL. DO NOT DO MURDERS.

    Originally, it was used for only cows' udders, but farmers' wives noticed the softness of their husbands' hands, and started using the product themselves.

  • building an oubliette

    An oubliette is where you put someone to forget about them, and these shitheels should be remembered forever as cautionary tales, both on what can happen if you get too casual about letting corrupt fucks into positions of power, and on what can happen to you if you're a corrupt fuck and you try to fuck around too corruptly and get caught with your dick in the cookie jar.

  • The Creator would appear as endowed with a passion for stars, on the one hand, and for beetles on the other, for the simple reason that there are nearly 300,000 species of beetle known, and perhaps more, as compared with somewhat less than 9,000 species of birds and a little over 10,000 species of mammals.
