Now, to be fair, that's hardly the horses' fault.

I wish you were joking but 65 is basically juvenile in our politics.

God damn, I don't think I even realized that she was that old. It's hard to call someone old when you're comparing them to someone with one foot in the grave.
It'd be nice if our electorate was, on average, of an age where they still have a future to worry about.

What are great games to play on controller, that my PC would stream to my Steam Deck?
Reply in thread
Oh I just realized that was with the original steam controller with one touchpad acting as mouse!
The touch pads are important! But steam's controller support is actually incredible and you can play with any controller given you fiddle with it enough.

LAPD raid goes from bad to farce after gun allegedly sucked onto MRI machine
Hey, y'all need to chill out. The cops have qualified immunity because they are better trained and educated than the average civilian. Y'all think this was a medical imaging center!? You don't know that! They could have been growing dangerous Marijuana that immigrated here illegally from Mexico to eat the dogs and cats!
Thank God our boys in blue took the time to clear this potentially dangerous building of any possible threats! That MRI machine nearly got one of them until they disarmed and detained it!
Just another dangerous day on the job!

We didn't see how we got to 1984. We just see one person living with consequences of what society has become. We're building our own 1984 right now!

Video: ICE agents drive SUV through protesters at S.F. immigration court
It feels so pedantic at this point but these shit gibbons look like they bought vests and plate carriers on Amazon and now get to RP as cops. And for some reason this is allowed? This makes the federal government look like a bunch of kids just attacking people indiscriminately.

Is it a joke or is he testing if you're receptive?
I called out my baby brother earlier this year. All us grandkids were sitting together and talking and my baby brother, 17/m, was saying something and he was like, "...and I raped..." Such and such a thing.
I passed it up the first time because I was a kid once. We kept talking and he said it again. Conversation continued and we were talking about his gf and he said "raped" again (not in relation to his gf, just adjacent) and I stopped things.
I think I said something like, "Hey dude, that word is one I'm sure your buddies use and that's actually okay, but it also has a lot of terrible meanings. Even if it's not been your intention everyone in this room has shot you a look every time you've said rape. I'm pretty sure none of us appreciate it and I'm sure your girlfriend doesn't either. It's a very scary thing and not just from a woman's perspective. You got to think about your audience."
He didn't say "raped" again where any of us could hear him. Our little grandkid clan of 3 men and 2 women will be better for it.

Late Stage Private Healthcare Rule
I feel the need to copy my comment from another post with a similar message:
An insurance CEO was shot to death this morning, it's a start.
To be less callous, he looked like a cute man, and his family is obviously devastated. Police say they have no suspect and no motive yet... But it was an assassination not random violence, I think we know the motivation. It's pretty sad overall, but surely it's also sad that someone was driven to this point by the company he was an exec of.

Haha, you joke! This is CBS we're talking about! They'll do exactly as the regime desires because that's what they've been doing for at least the past two months.

Fun fact, Alex said in an interview that this is a picture of him having a panic attack. Just shaking and desperately trying to keep calm as adrenaline pours through his system.

City puts $10,000 bounty of trans people’s heads if they use a public restroom
Reply in thread
Also there is evidence that it is harmful to cis people. Especially cis women who might be queer or straight or gender nonconforming or not. These fuckwads always forget trans men exist and just harass women more with this shit. They don't give a fuck off you're trans or not, it's about control. And their especially interested in controlling women.
It's also directly tied to fascism. Eco points to Machismo in point 12 of Ur-Fascism. "[Fascists hold] both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality." Meaning it's not just women, trans women, gay men, people outside of traditional 1940s gender roles, but it also includes straight, cis men who just don't seem to be straight and cis enough.

It's probably a hill that gets muddy. Everyone walks in the same spot because they've been flattened out like stairs and you slip less. It does happen naturally over time and many feet.

The real truth
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Waffen_Grenadier_Division_of_the_SS_(1st_Galician)
There's some weirdness going on with how Ukraine didn't ban Nazi symbols relating to this unit.
In Canada courts determined they couldn't condemn the unit as a whole which is not cool but you can condemn individuals.
But the real truth seems to be that this poster is posting anti-Ukraine propaganda. By reading deeper into the subtext, and in light of Russian propaganda where they propose that Ukrainians are nazis. This would seem to indicate that the OP is a pro-russian sympathizer.

I genuinely hope that there's a movement among vets to just this. What a good way to get something back from the gov for the trauma they put them through while protecting their fellow Americans. Just be a wrench in the gears of the immigrant crushing machine.

Then by your reckoning, they're doing pretty well. Colorado has a population of 6 million.
It needs to be in the streets but it's hard to be the first to do it. And where I love I'm not even sure who, what, or where to protest.

NBC draws heavy criticism after Olympic figure skating move
We paid NBC for coverage two years ago and found out that while they steam all day coverage you can't replay that coverage. I wanted to wake up, watch a stream that started 5-6 hours earlier and spend all day watching Olympics coverage, rinse and repeat. Instead I could only jump into the stream and rewind 3 hours max, so I immediately lost 2 hours. Then it was a mad rush to catch up to live because the minute coverage ends for the day the stream is removed and deleted with no easy to finish it let alone restart it.
Literally the worst experience. Surely there is a better system out there, especially since I'm willing to pay, but in the meantime a VPN and CBC's coverage is okay. Maybe next Olympics I'll have the energy to find a real solution.
