This Gen-X guy spent a lot of time contemplating the universe. He concluded that Personal Freedom is baked into it, and that comes with ethical implications.

I conclude that the academic differences between communism and socialism are irrelevant, to be categorically dismissed. They are interchangeable, parasitic systems masquerading as philanthropic symbiosis.

They thrive on minds unable to penetrate its morally rotten essence.

@robbysoave My advice to such people is "Don't have kids, and you can't have mine."

@WassonWatch Carrying arms is to provide defense in depth. Aggressors shouldn't worry about breaching "secure perimeters". They should worry about being surrounded be people willing and able to stop them dead, at all times.

Jesus, people.

My 3rd grade journalism unit covered "Who, what, where, when, how and why" as the fundamental components of communicating any event.

Apparently, these are now entirely optional.

@SandyofCthulhu @sakebu_cheese_ A raised eyebrow and "Huh. Weird. Go figure" carries a lot of load for Americans.

The guy sitting on top of his victim is the wrong picture of this event.

The correct pictures are of heroic bystanders pummeling his ass.

@CynicalPublius 22 years ago, I packed up my family, business, dogs, guns and goods and fled the Dark & Fascist State of New Jersey. I have never looked back, and never spent a single second regretting it.

By your life, and your love of it: GO.

@japan_nobunaga I am one of the ~5% who has a hot tub, because I totally get it.

@KellySa66198301 @johnkonrad Where is the detailed table of congress critters, their staff, and their assignments?

@Arkypatriot "Luncheon Meat"

It's meat. For luncheon. There is nothing more you need to know.

FWIW: I remember olive loaf and head cheese being available sliced fresh, back in the 70's.

What are the traits needed to evaluate and reject false conspiracy theories, and what % of the world carries them?

My SWAG: An active, continually refined objective concept model of the world, and some sort of dedication to cognitive integrity. Maybe 30%?

@emilyjashinsky I'll skip the locusts course, if you don't mind.

@LifeLibPursuit @_Billy_Beck_ @johnrich @GovKathyHochul Dunno for sure, moved away mid 80s. I'm guessing completion of the highway that made the trek to the nearest city 30 min instead of an hour makes it a desirable bedroom community. Elevated home prices seem to support the hypothesis.

@Rothmus The missing kid milk cartons did a lot to whip up public panic and cause massive over-estimation of found-dead-in-a-field stranger abductions. People with brains noticed that 98% of them were actually parental custody disputes.

@Reddit_Retards I'm not trans*phobic*, and I do not capitulate to the contrived terms of the framing.

@skdh Combining wit with reason is a Louis XIV courtier era super skill.
