New Trump rule allows hunters to bait bears in Alaska with doughnuts, bacon and more

Reply in thread

There's already a muzzle loader season in a lot of places. Some places designate a season for things like muzzle loaders and crossbows, some will group them all together with auctioned bow permits. Typically you put bow season first because once guns start firing, animals get wary of human sign very quick. The ones that don't are already harvested and in someones freezer.

Trump again invokes claim he has the ‘right’ to run for third term as president

Reply in thread

Right?! Are we fucking crazy? Please god, do it. Run. After the first term people crawled out of caves to vote against him. This midterm you have Texas districts turning out voting numbers that almost match the general election.

Yeah, fucking run a 3rd time under the least popular campaign in history with 70% of the populace hating you. The last time at least 2 people tried to kill him.

I fucking dare him. I double dare him!

Just saw the movie Buddy.

I really enjoyed Street fighter. I thought it was very fun, I was expecting to have to give them a ton of grace on the acting, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. Lot of no-homo kinda stuff, but from the back of the closet. The dude who's playing bison is doing Raul Julia if he was a boy hungry pedophile, which can be off-putting.

Also Andrew Shulz is playing Dan, and he's a fairly big part of the movie. I was really annoyed when I saw him, and I was prepared not to enjoy the character. It ended up with me not hating it, especially when he starts interacting with anyone other than Ken.

I would see it again. Going to see You Can See Everything next.

Israel detains US congressional candidate at West Bank olive harvest

I just heard Landers talk about it when he was released from an IDF facility in the West Bank. He called Ryan Grim on breaking points and they had him talk about what happened.

He said about 60 people were part of the group. The group, Protect the Harvest, has nearly 30 American members, with many of the members being American Rabbis part of a group called Rabbis for Peace. They are all still detained, or were as of his call, including the other international volunteers and the Palestinians whose olive farm they were helping to harvest. The Palestinians were split up from the group and brought somewhere else, including the owner of the farm.

The farm was right next to a modern settlement, he said it only took about an hour of harvesting before a security truck from the settlement spotted them and the IDF picked them up next.

This was the second harvest they had been engaged in either that day or this week.

Here's a link to the call, it starts at around 12:16.

Whose ready for a sleepover!?

How much money in BBL do y'all think is in this gif?

I did some math, it really depends on the country, but we're talking between 5-15k not counting any other work, that's a huge investment between those 4 women into their personal business. I wonder if those costs are tax deductible.

They do! High fence hunts in Texas. You can buy any farm raised exotic animal you want and shoot it from behind a fence and have it butchered on site in a box truck where they'll package and get it chilled so you can ship it back home.

Those people still take pictures of the animal, still take a trophy, and still call it "hunting". It is the equivalent of spending 25,000 dollars to shoot a jersey cow.

Both professor x and his sister had their powers in utero. Nightcrawler famously developed his powers pre-puberty, he was zipping around both physically mutated (from birth) and his teleportation as a young child. Generally mutants develop powers at puberty, but that's just a rule of thumb.

They put A.I. in my truck. It warns me of everything I do wrong verbally. It reports everything to HQ. It is from a company called Solera. I take offense to this. Am I wrong? What can I do? Anything?

Trucking is so funny. There is an adversarial relationship between the drivers and the office, which you can see in this comment.

The industry is trying to solve safety issues caused by the nature of long haul driving and maintenance of profit in logistics by companies that use their services.

Trucking used to be a way a person could provide for their family, remain independent, and feel in control. Now, trucking is an industry where you are trapped in a moving computer designed primarily to reduce the insurance rates of the company that employs them, because their business practices and demands were so dangerous, individuals truckers had to drive more hours, get paid less for those hours, and literally drive themselves, and other motorists around them when they crashed, to death.

Then they blame the truckers as they race to bottom in hiring. Don't even get me started on nafta. Your industry sucks for the employees who are necessary to keep the economy moving.

168 children died when Trump bombed that school.

You think she cares, she strikes me as the type of person would strangle 100 brown babies with her own hands if it meant her child could get a slight advantage.

Think of if Iran had done this, or Russia, what would the news look like, or say. Or think of the sheer number of families and lives that were affected by that truly horrific act (or the sports facility that got hit by the new tungsten cluster munitions we were testing on kids). The anger that was created, the animosity that is the only thing some people have left. This isn't a thing that happened and just goes away. This was an underwater avalanche that has sent a tsunami. The damage will be impossible to avoid.
