Get your left arm back! Insert 3 backslashes. \\

None of it shows up well, super dumb, but seriously 3 will fix it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It shouldn’t affect their operations much at all, but it might act as deterrent for people to join up or continue. Or keep evidence just hanging around.

It’s hard to fully cover your tracks. Even harder to deny when you are successfully traced, then you are found to be in possession of things related to the crime. Like Luigi…wtf…he kept the 3D printed gun, he kept the manifesto, I mean step one you dump, destroy evidence.

Always have been. 🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀

J6, big can of worms. I can agree that the individuals who vandalized government property, broke doors & windows & such, terrorized elected officials, and attacked police receive a terrorism charge. I mean why not. It would enforce order, civility.

Coincidentally, I have a guy who talked with a pardoned J6er. An older man. According to him, he saw a police officer take out a baton & beat the shit out of an older woman for no reason, then he tried to just disappear back into the crowd of police. Old man visually tracked him, tracked him down a short while later, and administered his own beatdown on the policeman. Old man was identified, plead guilty to charges, jailed until recently. In retrospect, he admitted he “shouldn’t have done that”.

Again, according to his testimony. I wasn’t there, idk. I see a decent amount of ACAB on these forums, and if he’s being honest…that was his reason for attacking a police officer on Jan 6th. Because he was beating the shit out of an older woman with his baton, without cause. ¯\(°_o)/¯

Unpopular take, but I do believe this qualifies as terrorism. Definition 1, “the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.” Definition 4, “intimidation or coercion by instilling fear”. Haven’t seen it escalate to the level of physical violence, fist/gun fights yet. But it meets the definition of terrorism.

“SELL YOUR SWASTIKAR NAO.” Sounds to me like…intimidation or coercion by instilling fear.

There is more than slight difference between setting a single Toyota Camry on fire or spraypainting a single Ford F150 & specifically torching 10 Tesla charging stations, torching/shooting 17+ Tesla cars, latexing a Tesla robot, and damaging 4+ Tesla showrooms. An isolated incident can be written off as vandalism; multiple specifically targeted attacks (at least 32 objects, properties of like brand) & fuck knows how many more swastikas & nonsense put on cars out in the wild…that strikes me as the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives. AKA, terrorism. You can’t do or encourage the literal definition of a thing & then deny you’re that thing. If you’re going to be a bitch, you gotta be the whole bitch.

I don’t understand everyone’s surprise, or disgust, or whatever reaction to Starlink & government relations. Like they should be entirely separate all the time & how dare they benefit each other. Has it ever occurred to anyone that a very strong, US-based & ran, worldwide operated internet would very much be in the favor of the United States?? 🤔 No, just me?

For years, before you all hated Musk, I have considered Starlink & the US interests to be one in the same. It is only natural that US collaborates with Starlink. I’m relatively confident the US government has worked on, refined Starlink for Musk & Starlink team. I mean why not? I’m also sure there are plenty of strings attached to the monies & tax breaks given, like the US government owns their ass. Wasn’t Starlink access basically used as a weapon at one point in the Russia-Ukraine war? Starlink is shield & weapon, the raw power of the internet, exclusively owned & operated by US government & allies.

It just always amuses me when people say, “And Starlink is getting deals from the government!”…Yeah? Duh?? With what uses I outlined above, I find it hard to believe they wouldn’t get deals.

I agree with Botanicals. Whether you truly have an impact or not…I guess we’re arguing semantics…but simply vote with your wallet. 🙂 There is little excuse when options abound! If someone engages in behavior you really don’t like, boycott their ass. Don’t buy their product or service. If they didn’t make money, they’d quit their shit or go bankrupt. “No raindrop is responsible for the flood.”

Look at the Bud Light boycott. Granted, enough of the people doing the boycott were uninformed consumers that bought something else owned by ABInBev, and still gave the same company their money. But others went all the way. The campaign itself was still effective, as Bud Light sales TANKED. Product went BAD. The company lost LOTS OF MONEY. They lost prominent shelf space that they will probably never get back, but who knows, never is a big word.

You have power, little raindrop. You do.

My thoughts exactly. 🙄 This is ridiculous non-news.

Huh! Well, best of luck over there.

Also please reconsider the paper straws, with the carcinogenic glue. I’m looking at these.

Very true, I was looking at a titanium straw. Idk. I should probably get one. I wouldn’t be using it every day but I’m not going to stop drinking Bloody Marys.

I thought you were in Indiana. 🤨

Bloody Marys.

It is a little important to fix & move on, since these paper straws…don’t work too well for too long…and their binding glue is a carcinogen! It’s a good thing, like you, I tend to go without straws. 🙂

No use, no waste. Also frequent use of straws leads to perioral wrinkles & IIRC it’s not great for your teeth.

According to the Christian faith, women cannot serve as preachers, pastors, priests, etc. That, alone, demonstrates a terrible misunderstanding (or blatant disregard!) of a painfully basic teaching of the Christian faith.

To then promote a woman to be the head of this faith whatever, that’s tonedeaf AF. Of course they’re angry.

Not quite as sold on it as the rest of the internet. Personally. About 5-6 years ago, people started bleeping every single goddamn word that could in any way be construed as troublesome, triggering, or any word directly tied to a controversial topic.

“Kll, rpe, mrder, pssy, dck, a**hole, fck, cndm, scde, terrrst, rtrd, gy, fgt, gncde,” I mean the list just goes on and on and ON & there’s no real objective standard. Everyone enforces the asterisks on a whim, just how they feel that day, and suddenly an article becomes a round on Wheel of Fortune. I’d like to buy a vowel, please??

Then cvid hit, and everybody’s talking about vccnes, the shot, the jab, the Fauci ouchie, etc. Vaxx. 🙄

Idk I’m just over it, I say the words. Except for “the n-word” and other overtly racial slurs. I can’t fully articulate my reasoning behind this; like you, I’m going to have to think on it. But I just view it as political correctness, controlling words & controlling, restricting conversation about uncomfortable topics to game things in their favor. Hijacking Christian values like decency & submission, manipulating their emotions to railroad their thinking into the mainstream. Idk. I’m just…pro-free speech & anti-whatever the fuck you want to call this nonsense.

You can be pro-free speech, and not censor the words, and people will still be subject to the consequences of their speech. 🙂

Jesus fuck, that is patently insane. 🙄 The biggest problem with Biden is that he was a vegetable the entire time. People were even expecting him to die in office, or have the 25th Amendment used on him.

Trump is not young, either. The presidency wears down men, just look at Obama before & after. And now we’re talking about blowing up how everything works, eschewing the 22nd Amendment, and for what?? For a chance for an incredibly old Trump to run again, and likely lose? Big brain time, here.

Get this loser Andy Ogles out of office; he’s drunk or incompetent. Time for him to get a real job.
