Triple bonus if they offer Act Blue donors an opportunity to swing the sledgehammer.

Don't think they're getting 635k for it with that lot.

Have they ever released a purist digital version of the blue book that only accepts hand-typed input?

I ask as someone who excelled through the blue book era (before personal laptops) and also suffered mind-numbing hand cramps at the same time in every exam.

Maybe parents got lazy, idk. Maybe they thought racism/otherwise and what springs eternal from it was over and they didn't stay vigilant.

I can't take any more of these "very good boy" Mom's though. Some one needs to point the finger at them and say clearly, they failed.

Grew up in the South and never found racists careful, unless one was in mixed race company.

Assumption always, you're white, you're one of us.

But, my ears were shut early on to their bullshit via active counter programming/upbringing. It has to be active because the poison was in the air.

No doubt. Only caveat that learning bigotry externally is a two way street. Without a willing ear to land the proselytizer's seeds in, nothing will take.

Why are there willing ears so ready to hear it, online or not?

Raises tough questions about upbringing.

⬆️ is far more endemic in the US than people realize. Though the nature/form of bigoted expression has shifted, I don't find claims of a sudden increase compelling. It was always lurking not very far under the surface in many parts of the country.

Dems have always been awful about walking back anything the GOP did.

Confused about this "guided missile warhead" ref. I'm guessing pepper balls, tear gas, etc, falls under chemical weapons, but what guided munition are they even talking about?

By "men" I assume he means recalcitrant, unrepentant, shit-for-brains posters?

Bruh really needs to learn to fall in his sword fast.

I assumed from the photo you finally decided to add a walk in closet to your bedroom.

Could one have randomly walked into a Croatia tattoo parlor ~20 years ago and picked an SS skull from a wall of standard flash? Probably. Nazi shit runs deep near Serbs.

However, still not knowing history 20 years later means your social/education circle is so small, nixes being a senator.

Anyone who didn't know Elon was a Boer going in was just playing ignorant.

Iykyk @lipstickscribbles.bsky.social · 1d

Most charitable read is a total American dumbass stumbles into a Serbian tattoo shop in Croatia and walks out with a SS tattoo.

Nazi version of The Hangover.

Necessity of craft, or labor, is what separated the ideas that lived from the countless that died their well-deserved death.

Instead, tech merchants have decided everyone's ideas should live on in eternity, creating a weed choked field that will never be razed by fire.

It was a night in Croatia, but the tattooer was Serbian?

He can always let AOC fillet it off him with a boning knife as the price of re-entry to non-Nazi society.

Make sure to follow-up with Miles a year from now, because I'd like to see how he's taken his zeal for this country and applied it to advance the right cause of liberalism in whichever manner he can.

Quitting the destructive force is the start of the journey, not the end.

Would need to look at whether the US was cutting the NSA scholarship programs. They had pretty generous funds going back to early 90s if you agreed to serve before you even got to degree picking.

🎶"I got 155'd driving on I-5"🎶

Too perfect a lyric not to have happened.

Getting 155'd on I-5 is going to be in a socal hip hop lyric in 3... 2... 1...

Yeah, since before launch seeing as any major entertainment coming out of China has to go through the in-company political commissars just to even get released.

Least this time they were using their own IP, that was an upgrade.

It turns out, "do the right thing" isn't actually that great of an incentive.

If saving children from sexual trafficking came with a serious financial reward, you'd see a different ballgame.

Iykyk @lipstickscribbles.bsky.social · 3d

Nah.

Rich rarely narc on other rich, whether they agree with their behavior or not. Service people who know have zero upside to ratting them out on record.

Most terrible rich people were long known to be terrible people, by assistants, limo drivers, etc, long before a dime drops.
