I guess the Republicans choose to ignore the separation of church and state.

Shame, since they call up the constitution so frequently.

Must be like the bible, they haven't actually read the thing they espouse to take their guidance from.

The sheer pride in ignorance these days astounds me.

It isn't bad to be ignorant, we all have things to learn every day. Its bad to be proud of it and to refuse to elevate oneself above their own shortcoming.

If that isn't the republican party in a nutshell, though.

I feel like every beverage containing caffeine should have its total content labeled.

Not because I'm sensitive or anything, I just need the biggest dose I can find in the morning.

Then again, I've been addicted to caffeine since child hood. I quit once, it was thought to be disturbing my sleep; NOPE! Just bipolar mania fucking it up.

If anyone is concerned, I'm on meds and doing well - I still might stab someone in the morning over getting in the way of caffeine though.

As a Texan, this makes me happy.

I don't believe in book bans. If a kid can read it, they should. Will they agree with the message? Maybe, maybe not. However, they were exposed to different thoughts. This isn't a bad thing. It is up to the reader to determine how valid that line of thinking is in their life.

The bible.... whew, the bible.... Violence, sexuality, fucking incest, rape, etc. It isn't a "clean" book.

However, if they're gonna ban books for questionable material, the fucking bible is chock full of it.

I say this as someone who had southern baptist grandparents I spent the summer with, and have read the bible cover to cover more times than I ever cared to, but it was the only reading material available.

"Going postal" was a thing.

It was a thing before Columbine, cause man, I remember the talks at school about that.

The class was brought out, we sat under a tree, and were allowed to talk about our feelings.

One of my bullies looked me dead in the eye, and said something along the lines of "Its always the quiet ones."

I'm surprised I didn't have to talk to anyone after looking him dead in the eye back and replying "Yeah, it is." Just letting it hang in the air.

I will say, he no longer bullied me after that.

That's ok, I had another bully who learned the hard way that if pushed far enough, I would break bones if provoked enough. Last day of school that year. He clotheslined me and put me in a choke hold when I was running a football, you know, playing like a kid on the last day of school. He still had a hold as we got up, him behind me. When my vision started to dim, I stomped the arch of his foot (multiple fractures, lot of bones there) to get out, then turned and broke his nose with one punch.

It all stopped after that.

Because my teachers were aware of the bullying (thanks for stopping it, assholes) I didn't get in any trouble. This was at the beginning of zero tolerance talks. It was a policy the next school year.

One phrase rings through my head when I read shit like this, from my days at a Children's hospital.

"Non-accidental trauma." Still sends shivers down my soul.

Blatant fascism from the GOP nominee? Who would have guessed?

Yes, Trump is a problem. But the problem runs deeper.

If not Trump, another useful idiot.

Step one: Buy a few firearms, for different scenarios (which should be easier under Trump sigh)

Step two: Go to work, home, and limit unnecessary errands, order for delivery more.

Step three: Practice marksmanship with various firearms. I have a country, but sane, friend of the family with a shooting range on her land.

Step four: Hunker down in my deep red state, because I hold non-christian belief's and I won't recant them on pain of death. Not because my beliefs "protect" me, but because as an American, I believe in freedom of religion and I'll die a proud American before I die as a Christian, my belief's don't matter compared to that. The protection of those belief's does.

My biggest problem is some schmuck who I doubt has a medical degree, and has never seen me as a patient, but has absolute power over what a MEDICAL DOCTOR deems necessary.

At that point it really begins to sound like practicing medicine without a license to do so, let alone the knowledge required to get an MD.

She ruined the only opportunity I had to see Iron Maiden.

They dropped off the Ozzfest tour that year because Sharon was a cock-juggling-thunder-cunt right before they got to my town.

Anybody have a pic of the underside of a Cybertruck? Need to scope out a place with airflow but limited visibility.

There is at least one asshole in my general area who needs a come-uppance.

"Demonization of corporate executives is not new."

Huh, maybe if they acted in accordance with the social contract instead of lining their pockets with the blood of others.

Nobody says fuck the fire department.

As a Texan, in a purple area, this doesn't surprise me from Oklahoma.

I had the displeasure of driving through OK to get to my late father in law's hospital bed before he passed.

I ended up blowing through a toll entry because they didn't accept paper money or cards. Just coins. I went to the little building to try to pay my way, and it appeared to be abandoned.

Mother fuckers, I can buy a legal variant of weed with my fucking watch. Coins? Join this century please.

I'm of Irish and Scottish decent. I'm white. As fuck. Not AF. As fuck. I don't tan, I fucking burn, peel, and burn again. All the while, I suffer.

I'm from the south. Grew up in Texas, only been out of it for less than a year and still in the fucking south - so not much better.

Even I could tell... well, anyone, not to vote for Trump. "Oh, Trump likes _______" No, Trump likes Trump. End statement. End logic. End all.

Trump likes Trump.

If anyone thinks that Trump will put them, their group, or their issue, ahead of himself then they have refused to pay attention. Not that they haven't had the chance, they have willfully refused.

I was not able to vote. Moving from Texas to Arkansas, there was in issue with my registration, which in hind-sight sounds like "I'm lazy, have some voter suppression" because I didn't have a capital T branded on my forehead. I should have fought harder, but I was more worried about a roof over my head and food on the table. Fuck me for trying to survive and provide for my wife.

End statement: Not everyone who was unable to vote was lazy: Fuck all of you who say otherwise. Some of us could NOT vote, for whatever reason.

Its a primitive thing, maybe... Like a genetic memory.

A good stick is a bad ass tool when you only have your hands, its free and plentiful, and its no big loss to start over.

You can use a stick to kill or stun animals, dig a trench for waste, with more sticks and some sort of cover you make a shelter, sticks are also fuel for fire, a stick can get you into a sheltered situation, possibly with a warm meal, and its just a bunch of sticks.

Add a pointed rock to the mix? Fuck, now you have one of the most effective weapons in the history of humanity.

A good stick and a good rock is the most primitive tool set we had, and it was available to everyone.

I really need to get back into field craft.

Except, no?

Medieval peasants had SOOO many holidays.

It was a cheap way to keep them from violently revolting. Even then, it didn't always work.

Speaking of violent revolt against an oppressive system, where are we at?

And had enough wisdom to realize he didn't know everything and enlisted the smartest person available for assistance.

Former retail worker here.

I was never paid enough to care about shit other than directly keeping my job. So, you know, look busy when the boss was around.

I had to stop people from stealing big shit, like TVs and such.

A hungry looking kid grabbing some food to eat in an aisle and leave the trash? Just throw the trash away please, I'm not your fucking maid.

I seem to recall an interaction between Bats, Superman, and WW.

All lassoed with the lasso of truth and stating their real identities.

Two give their real birth names, and Bats just identifies as batman, revealing that Bruce is absolutely his alter ego, billionaire mask he wears in public.

Computer Power Supplies (PSU)

Unless you have very specific training on opening one up, discharging it properly, and the skills to repair it safely for future use, just buy a new one when yours dies.

This is certainly a case of the phrase "voltage hurts, amps kill" to the best of my knowledge.

I received the above advice and heeded it.

My second IT job was filling the role of someone who never received this advice.

Because the word Kiwi refers to other things.

A fruit, people from New Zealand, etc.
