I'll probably get down voted for this opinion, but the earth is round and orbits the sun.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Organized armed minorities make governments afraid.

Make no mistake, this is yet another message, "we do not care about you or your struggles". Listen when they tell you they won't protect you.

As someone without allergies that has been around for too many peanut-related reactions, I absolutely hate that this article exists.

Too many times I have heard people be dismissive of a person's severe peanut allergy, to the point of thinking it's funny to bring a peanut butter sandwich to work and wave it in someone's face, and then get defensive when it triggered a skin rash from proximity alone.

I've seen people put peanut butter on an allergic person's car door handle.

I've seen people put peanuts in someone's food "because they have to be faking it"

The reason I hate this article is because it will encourage too many people who "have done their own research" to put peanuts in things "to help build up a tolerance"

Someone is going to die from that "studies suggest".

And I really am tired of hearing "you're overreacting, that's not going to happen" given the current state of the world.

A plan or program to accomplish a goal is a scheme, whether it's beneficial or not.

Handing out flyers that properly define what socialism and communism are with the intent of educating people that they aren't the boogeyman is still passing out propaganda, even if it's beneficial and correct.

So yes, scheme is appropriate.

Alcoholic male defense secretary with 0 OPSEC abilities orders makeup set for public appearances.

Also decides other males aren't allowed to wear makeup in public.

I had a target I would eat lunch at whenever a contract took me to the area, I could just walk over and get a personal pizza and drink.

Not anymore.

It's getting harder to shop at places that don't bend the knee.

Thats not a challenge to get more places to bend so we don't have a choice, I would happily never spend money in the United States again if I could help it.

I ate it because I kept reading "aquariums" and thinking the author meant protected wildlife areas, and it didn't click until I got to "marine exhibit"

And now I can honestly imagine them allowing rich fucks to literally fish inside national aquariums for a price.

Every argument I have ever heard boils down to "in my specific use-case because of X Y Z and Purple, all the benefits of wired are irrelevant" and the people espousing such opinions don't at all take into consideration that other people exists and their specific use-case is not at all widely experienced.

"My tinnitus means I can't distinguish high tones well" okay buddy, but how many other people enjoy distinct highs?

"I move around too much so Bluetooth is the only practical solution" okay my friend, but many people either don't have that problem, or they've found a solution.

Well then there's the answer to "why is this community putting babylon bee headlines on my front page"

Just finished ep 3. it was definitely the forced gender assignment on a baby episode that did it...

Meijer doesn't sell anymore, and Walmart went to shotguns only around me.

matches are genuinely inclusive, and homo-/transphobes are not welcome.

This is important to me. I am CIS white guy, but too often when someone is wearing shit like "fuck your feelings/let's go Brandon" and "your body my choice" and nobody says anything, but the moment you speak up you get shit for "starting something" and "making a scene" and of course good luck reminding that crowd what happens when someone like THEM makes a scene, people end up dead.

Yeah, those $500+ classes don't bother me with their time investment but holy shit I guess it's just too expensive to help people.... My account has under 400 until I can find a new job that doesn't have so much down time between contracts..

I would happily attend the WFR classes, especially since I go mountain biking, hiking, fishing, etc in the woods and know from experience a fun day riding a bike 20 miles from the road can quickly turn south when a carbon fiber part snaps and slices an artery. Luckily someone had a tourniquet in their bag and the bleeding was stemmed until EMT got there.... Eventually.

I'm sure they're better for a variety of first aid than the TCCC-CLS is, but both sound like they would be worth doing nowadays.

Absolutely flawless logic.

Checkmate, humans!
