in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

They saw me and scooted a bit further up out of sight from our house. Stepped out and cruiser #3 came down-with a tow truck.

3 fucking cruisers to move an abandoned van. I was so relieved. I didn't know what I was going to do besides observe and report.

Fuck this situation.

We're the only gringos on the block and a few months back I realized a sheriff's cruiser (they are actively helping ICE) was slowing going up and down my block. Eventually two parked in the middle of the street, I poked my head out, grabbed my bodycam, and told wife to get the legal aid number resdy

Tbh I am so cheap I threw Magpul furniture on my -74 and waited way to long to do something about my Zastava AKM.

It's amazing how the rifle of the Worker in the US is the AR because the design lent itself so well to cheapo modern manufacturing while we don't do stamp metal no more

"what if we have everyone a semiautomatic rifle"

"Yeah but what if they aren't infantry?"

"Then we'll still give them one, but it will be lighter"

What if...what if we turned gasoline into jelly so it would stick to the enemy more.

It is kind of telling that the Nazi wonder-weapons were like, "rocket plane that dissolves its pilots" and "robot bombs because our pilots are sick of dying" while the US went with "thinking machines," "portable sun," "anti-aircraft shell with a brain in it."

"what if we made it really easy to call in air support by giving everyone a radio"

"How about we invent spreadsheets before computers and just use a chart to really fuck someone up with artillery".

Many such cases

I maintain that Robert Heinlein would have shoved Muskrat into a locker and gave him the bullying he so richly deserves.

New: Elon Musk appears to have just launched "Grokipedia," billed as a more right-leaning rival to Wikipedia: grokipedia.com

Story to come. If you try it out, I'd be interested to hear what you find.

is it good or bad that the president of the united states is bragging about the difficulty of a test he took that started with identifying an elephant

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

Lets be real here the absolute last thing Graham Platner wants right now is journalists talking to his old Marine buddies about the antics they used to get up to while drunk.

sibirin.bsky.social @sibirin.bsky.social · 4d

These are both very simplistic and stupid statements. But for the second, his whole explanation is that he was out with his military buds that were on assignment with him. Maybe a journalist could do that thing they used to do where they check a story with other involved parties.

If you are looking at what is going on and still say "you know only the police should own semiautomatics", you do not even have the defense of living in calm, politics as normal times and so can't play dumb to the danger.

The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit.

(Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

What’s worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections. The 2020 Presidential Election, being Rigged and Stolen, is a far bigger SCANDAL. Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our “President!” We now know everything. I hope the DOJ pursues this with as much “gusto” as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history! If not, it will happen again, including the upcoming Midterms. No mail-in or “Early” Voting, Yes to Voter ID! Watch how totally dishonest the California Prop Vote is! Millions of Ballots being “shipped.” GET SMART REPUBLICANS, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!
