If I can’t find a personal skeet in your first 20-30 in your profile, I will not follow you back. If there’s nothing personal about you in your profile, I’m not following you back. If all you do is repost blue-anon, I’m definitely not following you back.

I note that, in USMC boot camp, you can get held back from your cohort for a weapon safety violation. These fuckers do all the weapons safety violation all the time.

Or day 4. Honestly don’t know.

We both even forgot to feed the dog this morning (she stays in bed until it’s clear everyone is up and that didn’t happen until 11 or so)

“How big of a difference the missing balloon data made, though, may never be known. The best way to determine that would be to run computer models with weather balloon data fed into them and without it, in what is known as a data denial experiment — impossible to do without the data itself.”

Just FYI, here are my personal beliefs on the use of large scale violence.

1. Violence tends to be self-replicating, and so should be avoided as much as possible.

All violence has the potential to entrench itself.

When you’ve pissed off WeRateDogs so much they’re calling you “fucking losers” on Main you have absolutely lost all merit in the court of public opinion

ICE AGENTS KILL DOG
DURING UNLAWFUL SEARCH, REFUSE TO RENDER AID, AND LEAVE WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES

weratedogs This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE.
Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop
