This is Canada, not sure there is a Right.
We're getting distracted by arguing over whether this was brutality or not.
Let's get back to the main point.
THE MEDIA STEPPED IN TO ASSIST WITH THE ARREST.
As the philosophical think-tank 'The Pussycat Dolls' once famously said, "Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it."
Now I'm not likely to kick anything off. I'm pretty risk-averse, and I know the Powers that Be are just poking people like me over and over hoping we chimp out. But when white people chimp out, maps get redrawn.
If that kid was black, torches would already be lit.
Maybe they should be.
Is that chance really that high? I have a hard time believing anyone in office today has the stomach for something that major. Not to mention, the new regime is already purifying the ranks of the military to ensure compliance when they're ordered to put down any such attempt.
Bold of you to assume the principalities and powers set against us possess emotion beyond rage, or human souls.
So, nobody reads the Times.
The only purpose that article will serve is for detractors to post the headline to social(ist) media to dunk on the Doctor.
My understanding is he actually invented a filament that burned out faster. I.E., he invented planned obsolescence for the bulb that made them cheaper, but required you to buy more of them.
Too bad. I've been consistently using their products for about 20 years.
I'm thinking I'll look at Corsair. Their power supply has been great for me, and I just got a headset from them that I love.
Where would one watch such a thing?
I left the town I grew up in 15 years ago, and I regard the one I'm in now as a pit stop. A long pit stop, to be sure, but we're looking ahead as far as we can see now.
Next step is a house. Gotta fight to get the credit where we need it, and then somehow manage a job and house at the same time in a place we want to be and then execute.
I'm mildly terrified.
Yeah, no wasn't planning on jumping on the GME train.
I go back and forth between wishing I had gone into IT like most of my friends so I could make bank working from home, and being glad I work for a small company where my boss's dad teaches her son to reload ammo for fun and profit and I get to make jokes about Covid in front of whoever I want.
That makes sense. Somewhere before Mad Max or Waterworld.
You're right, of course. I guess I'm still somewhat caught in the mode of thought where everything will proceed normally and retirement is a logical end goal financed by discreet savings accumulated over your career.
This is obviously not the case.
I like your thinking.
That's probably the attitude I should take, watching it would only give me anxiety.
I just remember our shipping guy telling me about the 20k that disappeared from his 401k during 2008 when shit went sideways.
Don't have the real estate for it right now, but I used to work on a farm, and the wife wants animals if we ever manage to move rural.
If the son of the Zodiac Killer wants you dead, he'll do it himself.
This is probably some of the best advice I've seen, thanks.
I mostly joke about being a boomer because my parents are older than most of my contemporaries, so I grew up culturally a lot more old-school than most, and in my field I'm older than most of the middle management and almost all of the line workers, so I constantly joke to the college students and high school grads that I'm a boomer and they make no sense.
I've never understood why people are convinced gold will retain value in a SHTF scenario... Gold isn't a practical metal, it's value is based on scarcity, isn't it?
Food, water, medical supplies, and freedom seeds are what all my TrumpBux have gone to, so there's that.
The idea that the WH was pressuring people to take action to derail WSB is far more plausible now.
They won't let you buy in anymore.
Good.
Had two transactions cancelled without my leave this morning.
What happened after Jan6 is instructive in understanding this.
The government decided to go to the ends of the earth to hunt down the people who dirtied their carpet and put their feet on the table, and people got turned in by their own families.
The right doesn't do it because the right won't be allowed to get away with it.
