TikTok Shop Sells Viral GPS Trackers Marketed to Stalkers

A friend of mine has a relative who is doing several years in prison for shit like this. It took about 14 times of him getting caught doing variously more aggressive, stalker things towards his ex partner before he was finally incarcerated for any length of time.

Motherfuckers need to start letting shit go, and we need to start holding people accountable and providing services for their mental illnesses in the states.

Kash Patel hits back at humiliating report that he demanded an FBI raid jacket

It’s moments like this where we can see how much copoganda really affected some people’s perspective on the world. I am willing to bet there is no small part of this person‘s reality that they don’t think is straight out of a Tom Clancy novel, and they are the forces of good and justice.

I guess being realistic with where we are now, straight out of an Amazon TV Tom Clancy series.

Which high school friend took a path you didn't expect?

A guy I grew up with playing music and working odd jobs for his dad is now a hardcore right wing influencer.

His family was very progressive (still are as far as I know) and we lived in a staunchly blue part of the country. Hell, we wrote songs that were hyper critical of the govt and authoritarian systems.

Now he’s screeching to a million plus followers and participating in counter protests as a pro-maga mouthpiece.

I am sure it has to be for money. He was always an egomaniac. Between that and the dopamine hit of a good grift, it has to be. I just can’t resolve in my own heart that he’s truly gone to the dark side.

Call of Daddy

Reply in thread

My kid has been wearing 2nd hand metal shirts for about 15 years. That was also the aesthetic when we made quilts for him as a baby.

I gotta imagine there’s people out there laying heavy judgment on that decision. We think it’s hilarious. Poor dude was like 13 the first time I got a call about a Cattle Decap shirt he was wearing. I guess, technically it was sacrilegious but I appreciated him self advocating and pointing out a “guns, god, country” shirt another kid had on.

Thanks for attending my ramble about judging people’s parenting fashion.

All right music fans, what's your favorite band/musician and how many times have you seen them live?

Big time tool fan in the 90's, 125 shows total throughout the years. Havent really been interested in their music and only seen them 2 or 3 times in the past decade.

But, the past 12 or so years I've been super in to Cattle Decapitation. Seen them 15 times so far including a trip last year from the west coast of America to Ireland to catch them with some friends over there right around st pats.

Phenomenal live band and genuinely good humans.
