For me, I hand write checks weekly. That 3 percent credit card fee can add up quickly. Invoice me, and get the total payed at the end of the month. Also handy for person to person transactions, where cash is impractical.

I think you dont understand. To rewrite that card would be a big red buisiness card that says “you are fucked”.

Thats it.

Arm yourselves and the people being hunted? Are you fucking kidding? Thats literal ammunition to the opposition. If you had your way, a bunch of illegal immigrants now are using illegal guns to shoot americans.

Your advice legitimizes the “invasion” of the other. It does the opposite of what you want. Your solution galvanizes the right to point and say “see, they are all murderous criminals” get them.

For fucks sake think for a moment. This is the absolute dumbest take ive ever seen.

Well duh.

I dont mean this as a disparagement of zelenski, but cmon man. the people that knew this fact dont need your confirmation. We know. And the people that dont know this will never trust you nor hear your voice. Their mind was already made up. Their personal echo chamber and cycle of disinformation wont let them ever see it.

Over the past 3 months, i have disributed over 1500 red cards. los tarjetas rojas. They explain immigrant rights and what to do if ice shows up. https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas

In a normal world, thats enough to help protect them. Its a little step i know, but its something i could do to help.

Now it is a lie and i mislead my neighbors and friends. They are not safe.

Next step?

No California Hollywood actor and former head of the screen actors guild will ever be president, because they can’t fake being human long enough with cameras around. The complete lack of experience with anything approaching real life will expose them over and over again.

(You know it sounds silly when you say it for the third time and it still happens…)

Bud im not saying that these words are not bad. I never said they weren’t. They are. Im saying that these words have power. Im hoping you get that now, especially now that ive hit a nerve enough, that maybe you can learn off of what you said in your initial comment.

Im asserting that your broad generalizations are equally bad. The spectrum of autism, retardation, and mental handicaps as a whole are so much bigger and more diverse than the assumptions you made. Thats my message. Thats the point im trying to speak. I hope you can eventually see that.

Nah you dont.

The way you are using your narrow minded view of autism and the mentally handicapped is not only highly offensive, its also wrong. I have personally worked with and cared for people on the autism spectrum from the level of “nonverbal infant level” all the way to certified savant. Its a spectrum for a reason. I have also cared for people, for literal years, who are diagnosed retarded that are more capable and more functional than the “normal” people i see at walmart. And also hold steady jobs better than their non deficent coworkers.

Heres a thought experiment for you. If the things you say are so blatantly wrong that you get downvoted, called out, and ignored for your offensive views, but still want to double down, are you yourself retarded?

I dont know you. And i dont know your mental acuity. But i am using that word as an insult. That should answer your question i think.

What? No.

Clearly you do not know anything at all about those two groups or the myriad of different functional levels the can come with those diagnoses.

I guess im confused at the worry about raid…

The point of raid is speed, but also redundancy. And the odds of 2 drives out of 3 failing at the exact same time is super small…

Synologies raid aray can be set up so that if one drive fails, you can replace it with a new drive and carry on. The array is shared in a way that one bad drive doesnt break the entire system. Sure, your 30tb is functionally less, but your data is safe outside of flooding or a house fire. Thats how i understood it.

maybe im wrong. Idk.

Have you seen how long it takes someone to get through death row? If convicted, he will sit for 20 years. Far far beyond the current political discourse.

If he gets convicted, that will be a stink for a while. But by the time they kill him, he will be a distant memory.

Martyrs die when the timing is optimal. If it isnt the right time, they are just a name on a gravestone. And we have plenty of those.

I know ted is a piece of shit, but that post, and literally everyone else’s response to it, including booker who referenced the post in the last 30 minutes before the record was broken, knew that it was a joke.

Ted tried it already and failed to hit the record. He knows how hard it is.

That was an assholes way of appreciating something, without admitting that he has respect for it.

For fucks sake.

Rest in peace you poor bastards. Forced to fight a rich mans war… for nothing.

You just said it. You already know why one side is getting bombed and the other isnt. In the most polite way possible, dont be dense. You know and so do i.

This is politics my friend. And not even good politics. No use worrying about things like casualties or logic or efficiency.

Hell, we threw out sensible foreign influence months ago. When we are tarrifing and threatening invasion of our closest allies, where is there real room for the lives of random muslims in some desert? They mean nothing.

We have a mandate now.

Once again. If this is what we know… what on earth is happening that we dont know about?

The thing about incompetence is that, if one fuck up was this bad because the right person found out. How many times has it been brushed aside by someone without the means?

Its always going to be worse than you could ever dream of. We are still so early into 4 years its terrifying.

As a side point. This is also proof that the moon landing is real and the earth is round. But functioning brains already knew that…

Ok. Shoot them all.

Ill be back here trying to talk to my neighbor first like the rational human being i am.

get to it. Times wasting to kill em all. Lets be honest. You’ve only got one attempt before they come to gun you down in response, so be efficient. I bet you can get a couple before they drop you like a dog. Label you a psychopath and a radical. Hell you can even be a terrorist.

Meanwhile i can plant little seeds and talk to hundreds of people. Change hearts and minds over time. Bring people to my cause.

I dont think that this is a refutation of the two party system at all. I think this is a rebalancing of the system in likes to the tea party surge of the kid 2000s.

It isnt a rebuttal. Its a response. as much as the democratic party hates it, it still is well within the status quo and thats why schumer will hang his arms on the cross so to speak. Hes the willing and able party pariah. It is manufactured.

And thats why im worried it isnt enough. Its why im angry still.

I know what newsmax is.

I also known that this is just enough cognitive dissonance to maybe turn someone…

Its a matter of “if they can turn on a dime, you can too”.

I get that they are doubling down. I also get that this is the first disconnect they have had with mainstream media in eight years. And maybe that is my in.

I understand that it is a small shift, but honestly, its the first shift ive seen in many of them in almost a decade. Ill take it.

To be perfectly clear, being prepaired and being in shape is good for you. Do that. But lets look at history. Look at the civil rights era for reference.

Being in shape and well armed doesnt do shit. It took one unarmed black lady not moving on a bus to be a nexus. after dozens had already done the same. It was on purpose. It had organization.

Look at how long it took after that before the black panthers marched on the capital with guns and congress got so scared to push firearm reforms, but somehow was not be the nexus of change.

They didnt care abour busses. and being armed doesnt do shit. Organizing does. Protest does.

The nexus wasnt firearms. It was people getting together and protesting every way they could. For literal years.

As a prolific gun owner myself, i dont hold any faith in them. My faith is in something coalescing into a movement. And that movement isnt firepower. You cant beat the united states military and the complex it built anyways.

But you can change hearts and minds. it takes organization. Protest will always be better. Love your neighbor and be a nuisance until you change their heart.

That being said, guns are also an option, but if it takes less than a decade of this bs to get you to shoot someone, you just wanted to shoot someone to begin with. And as much as i own and use guns and, somewhat ironically, abhore violence, im not going to be the person to change your mind if thats what you are set on.

Trump doesnt need to manipulate much. I live in deep red country. They are upset that fox has “completely changed” and they want to go to newsmax instead.

They are soooo fucking close to getting it. But the propaganda seed has already been planted.

For fucks sake…

I hate my state sometimes…

Ok. Alot of times.
