Twitter: "These are our new rules, you conservatives can't post videos of us fucking around at 'peaceful protests' or the like and call us out on our bullshit!"
Conservatives: "Okay, fine, then by the same rules you can't post videos of us calling out the stupidity of getting vaxxed for a disease with a >90% survival rate, or being forced to wear masks to prevent the spread of something that can get right through them, and then be all derisive about it."

In all seriousness, it's about what I expected - they tried to make rules for thee and not for me, and it bit them in the ass. Now they'll double-down and revise the rules to try and make it more effective for them and less so for the non-woke.
Funny how once again places like reeeeeesetera are radio-silent on things like this.
If the lawyer can't beat on the facts, they'll beat on emotion. If they can't beat on emotion, they'll beat on the table, rousing the rabble.
From the article:
Many Republicans are loath to admit that it is profoundly shameful to send our mothers and daughters to war.
And it's not problematic to drag young men into combat, conscripted into a duty they never wanted? Sorry, but if the feminists are bitching for the same rights and privileges as men, they should also carry the same responsibility to duty the men do. Force them to sign up for Selective Service to be able to be eligible for college grants and loans, and then we'll be halfway there. Besides, it's not like they're going to get socked into combat roles if they get drafted. They'll either get put in rear-echelon roles or they'll take the usual women's route out of the service by getting themselves knocked up. If the US is ever in a war where we have to put women into combat roles, we already done fucked up.
File that under #UnintentionalRedPill, considering Smollett's "attack" was in and of itself racist, designed to heap more racial tension on the wypipo and Trump supporters.
Valid point. Like someone else mentioned in the post, it's more likely that the parents were the ones doing the building and they're pinning it on the kid to avoid other charges.
There's a hell of a lot more questions to this story than what the news outlets are reporting.
-
How did a 13-year-old buy the parts on the Internet? Unless he's flipping cash onto burner Visa cards, there's no way he's doing that without swiping a credit card from his mom.
-
How is a 13-year-old milling the lowers out? Even if he's buying plastic ones, you still have to mount the thing in a jig and cut it down. That's not something you can do with a power drill and an X-acto knife in the kitchen while your mom is out with Tyrone, turning tricks on the corner.
-
Same things go for assembly and finishing. No way in hell is a 13-year-old kid buying parts and having them shipped to somewhere, then finishing them into an actual, serviceable weapon, without his parents knowing something was going on. If they didn't know, they're ignorant and if they did know, negligent.
Regardless of how Kyra was shot, this whole thing stinks on ice. There's a whole chunk of investigation they're leaving out, and you know that this is going to be used as a wedge to try and drive new anti-gun legislation to prevent the sale of parts to private purchasers.
For what it's worth the news site linked in the article has a picture. Makes the confirmation of the guesswork pretty easy.
That's why you gatekeep the shit out of the membership and keep the soycucks out. And even if one did get in and his wife's boyfriend found out about it, we'd probably boot the cuck and offer his membership to the chad his wife was banging.
In the US we still have the right to freedom of association, and so long as the club is kept to an exclusive membership and does not allow non-members entry, the feminists and wokies don't have a leg to stand on. That's where things like the Boy Scouts got screwed over - because they essentially let anyone from the public join, they forfeited their right to bar membership to the opposite sex.
If it's a private club, the club controls the admission criteria and can accept or deny any member. First rule of gatekeeping, you go hard or you risk getting invaded.
There's times i wonder what it would take to start up a chain of "Gentlemen's Clubs" in this day and age. Nothing like a titty bar or Playboy club, more along the lines of a Victorian-era gathering place where men could get away from the outside to go to sit and think, have a decent drink, get a good meal, read a book, have a smoke, or shoot the shit and do business with one another, without the meddling influence of women getting in the way.
Granted, I'm sure some women's group would pitch a bitch about the membership restrictions, but so long as it was maintained as a private club that only admits members, Constitutional right of freedom of association would allow us to tell them to go pound sand.
EDIT: And yes, I'm aware of the Elks, Moose, Masons, and other groups that have long since been in existence. I'm talking about something new that isn't just a watering hole for the local townies that occasionally do fundraisers for the local school or the like.
put it into Puppet
Ah, but that would require my company to have half a clue with regards to proper devops and automation, as well as being willing to fork over the money to implement something like that. The Ivory Tower that is our "Enterprise" team is too busy holding the network together with bubblegum and chicken wire, and covering their own asses for their fuck-ups, to allow us plebs at the support bench access to tools that might make our lives easier. Trying to get the execs to open the purse strings for something new on the network that could automate our workflows and save us tons of man-hours is like trying to steer a battleship - they're still stuck in the mindset of the fallacy that IT is a cost-center.
I really need to find a different place to work. For being a business that considers itself "world class", the IT department is still effectively in the stone age.
You mean they asked for CONDA and you don't know what CONDA is?
Oh, I'm well aware of CONDA, as well as other BI-related packages they're asking for. I'm just saying it's not part of our standard load-out for, say, the Marketing department (where one of them was hired), and the only thing we've seen out of them is a bunch of individual tickets for software installs done in a piecemeal fashion rather than one ticket for everything. The "supposedly" in my original statement is because we have yet to see anything useful produced from these "analysts" in terms of a meaningful breakdown of the data on our SQL servers they're supposed to be crunching. I figure they're just pulling the wool over their collective managers' eyes for as long as they can before they jump ship to a new gig and try to make off with their hardware while they're at it.
While the company I work for is somewhat insulated from this for now by benefit of our location (having our corporate headquarters effectively in the middle of BFE in the Midwest is the greatest blocker for invasion), I can see some of the writing on the wall as they're expanding their hiring to larger cities so they can get more talent that our small area can't provide. We've already hired in several Indian workers as data analysts, and so far all we've seen them produce is a stack of tickets to our IT department asking for bunches of different non-standard software packages that are supposedly being used for business intelligence purposes.
UPDATE: She apparently decided take the coward's way out by deleting her account. Not sure when that happened, but she hung in there for longer than I figured she would. I thought she'd keep trying to play it for sympathy for being attacked, and in true wokie fashion she just kept doubling down, but I guess it just got too hot for her. Sounds like a "nothing of value was lost" situation - aside from the outrage that she could have generated.
That being said, her Instagram is apparently still live, so look out for her to be stalked there next...
"Based"? Nah, homie, that's a thirst trap advertisement of the old-school sort. Guarantee you they'll take that shit down as soon as some bluecheck finds out about it and throws a bitch-fit on Twitter.
She now says she's suing Fox News for "harrassment".
Yeah, good luck with that. She's not going to find a law firm in the Chicagoland area with big enough balls to try and take on Fox's legal team. Next thing you know she's going claim to start building a hit-list of everyone who tweeted something mean at her and name them as co-defendants.
About an hour ago the scum posted to Twatter that she had resigned from her position with the Democratic Party of DuPage. She also posted tweets where she tagged the FBI and FBI Chicago offices begging for help because she received threatening messages. It always blows my mind when people do the performative thing and use Twitter for that shit. If you feel the need to make a report to a federal department, you FUCKING CALL THEM. Most mind-boggling of all, she's acting the victim with an "oh, woe is me, why is this my 15 minutes?" attitude. Bitch, you sow the wind, you reap the whirlwind. Twitter is a public forum, so you better damn well expect people to act accordingly if they don't like what you're saying.
They always were
Oh, no argument there. The irony of the juxtaposition of their viewpoints and the fact that they were signed to a huge record label wasn't lost on me during their initial bump in popularity back in the '90s, and it still holds true today. It just slays me that they've been able to pull the wool over the eyes of their fanbase for as long as they have. I guess there's never an end to the number of college students that are bent out of shape with the way the world works, courtesy of the indoctrination of their liberal arts professors.
In the anime the character of Gren is a dude that was forced to take an experimental drug while he was in prison, and the drug caused him to grow breasts. The whole reason why he was in prison and why he had to take the drug was tied into his character arc, and he was most definitely still a guy, he just happened to have tits. When they swapped it over to the live action version they cast a nonbinary actor to play the part and effectively made the character trans, because this is apparently something that was "wrong" in the anime. Yet another reason to stay the hell away from the live action version.
The live-action representation of the character Gren. In the anime he had black hair, dressed like a dude, and had breasts due to having been forced to take an experimental drug while in prison, which played into his character development and his reasons for his actions. In the live-action version they cast a non-binary actor and tarted the character up to effectively be trans. Yet another reason to avoid the shit-show over on Netflix and stick with the original anime.
The lack of awareness that both RATM and their fanbase shows in relation to the fact that they are now part of the Machine never ceases to amuse me.
Shriver also proved that both her and her son are morons with that tweet. Rittenhouse was charged, he was tried, and he was found not guilty.
Hell of a big difference from what her kid's Uncle Teddy had going for him.
