CT resident here. I’ve seen trailer park boys. You’re never going to convince me to join the maritimes. Get oat of my trailer.

When the articles said it was a syringe that smelled like vinegar I assumed he sprayed her with a douche

Nobody asked me if I voted. They just assumed I didn’t because I said the Democrats ran a shitty campaign that failed to energize people. It doesn’t matter anyway, harris won my state by a huge margin.

I didn’t say whether I voted or not. I said the Democrats messaging wasn’t exactly the stuff of inspiration.

You just rephrased “we are terrible but could be worse”.

Yeah, who wouldn’t get super motivated to go out and vote for “we are terrible but we could be worse”

Also, if you were doing something that could make you a target you’d have to pretty fucking stupid to talk about it openly on the internet

The army/Marines did this in Vietnam, which is almost certainly where ICE got the idea. So it depends a lot on your definition of “legitimate” but there’s precedence for government agencies doing it.

Exactly. The fire isn’t going to think “gee sure are a lot of folks with extinguishers out there, I better not start burning anything or they’ll kill me”. Unless you elect a really stupid fire that knows it’s going to be dead soon anyway and will never face consequences.

They did do that but they weren’t the last. Clinton passed the AWB, which was essentially a “scary looking guns” ban. Guns that were functionally the same could be legal or illegal based on meaningless cosmetic features. It was dumb ineffective pandering, the worst kind of 2A violation.

Fires don’t fear you rising up against them

If the Democrats had any interest in dialing back the police/surveillance state they would have done it during the Obama administration when they had a majority in all 3 seats of government. People are so goddamn naive.

Tbf RDP works pretty well for basic desktop stuff even over slow links. I’m sure there’s a protocol out there even more optimized for use cases like this.

The US has been a fascist police state since the early 2000s. The difference is under trump they’re going mask off and people are starting to notice.

Last time I was in NYC I had a hell of a time finding somewhere to piss. Ended up going to saks 5th avenue. Tried on a $5000 jacket I could never afford when I was there. Great jacket.

Or go to a gay bar on buffalo wings night

You have no idea if I’m doing anything. The only thing you’ve seen me do is try to suss out whether you’re a hypocrite.

What have you done?

Capital gains taxes and property taxes pay for those things. Regressive taxes like sales tax are a drop in the bucket and exist to punish the poor.

It might but if so I’m not aware of it
