@BowTiedKong Shame. I was hoping to listen to you duel with Sotomayor at SCOTUS on the next landmark PJ decision.

I have strong opinions on the decline of the ordinary modern man’s sartorial disposition. And I wish such sentiments to propagate so that we can end the scourge of sloven masses embarrassing both their forebears and themselves.
OP has the right spirit here, just executes poorly.
And you gotta mention the backpack. No more of that. Gay as shit.
Obviously that doesn’t apply to military.

Perhaps Stoner would have been taken seriously if the AR-15 hadn't been so poorly designed initially.

Perhaps people would have listened to him if he didn't insist that the AR-15 was perfect in 1959.

Stoner got a lot more wrong than he did right with "his" AR-15.

@agraybee Leaving a thermal exhaust port open to any sort of aerial approach is outlandishly stupid. Easily avoided with basic design tweaks (especially easy given the relative complexity of the rest of the Death Star)

@QuasLacrimas It’s always good to sharpen a man/boy by iron.
Just has to be the right technique.
Not very difficult imo.

Secular psychologists now often say, "Don't believe everything you think." Everyone understand that spiritual attacks have intensified, but they have a primitive framework from Freud / 100 years old pseduo-psychology. "Intrusive thoughts." Uh... No. It's demons.

lol loser

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.

The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Apprenticeship is likely the best way to rear lawyers. The way it used to be.

Nice to get to know some of the future lawyers in the area (I.e., your classmates), and learn from stout legal minds, for the most part (I.e., profs), especially when in a capital city with the state appellate courts down the road like I was.
That’s the best I can say in defense of modern law schooling.

[TolkienPen @TolkienPen]

@BowTiedKong Largely agree. ESPECIALLY 3L, that’s just a tuition grab.

OP is amusing. I witnessed it oft enough (ppl being intimidated when called on), tho I and select others were routinely “on call” cuz we could hang without getting our panties in a wad.
So, not some “great equalizer” imo

Apple’s new “I’m gonna nanny nag you with alerts re your music volume” may, ironically, be the straw that breaks this camels back.

Who is the greatest non-politician/war figure Southerner of all time?

[TolkienPen @TolkienPen]

@AccentsSouthern Daniel Boone.

[TolkienPen @TolkienPen]

@198ahiru Excellent. I shall buy from you.

[TolkienPen @TolkienPen]

Christian and masculine. The road to realizing that will necessarily entail clearing out much of the riff raff. I think we’ve begun on the road at least. I know some of the fellas on it.

(I kept all the horn books—look good on a bookcase and who knows, maybe one day I’ll need to reference outdated SDP analyses)

[TolkienPen @TolkienPen]

@FischerKing64 Id even go so far as to argue it’s a good thing if stability/continuity of the present order is amongst one’s concerns.

[TolkienPen @TolkienPen]

@FischerKing64 Yes

Then said He unto them, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.”

Latter phrase is the more germane one here.

[TolkienPen @TolkienPen]

@JackPosobiec I got ins on rural NC estate auctions. Hella nice guns for cheap af.
I bought 2 pristine bolt action service rifles, mfg in 1918, yesterday for a steal.
I saw a legit WWII Luger go for less than 2k

[TolkienPen @TolkienPen]

@FischerKing64 Yeah. It’s about that time to shift.
And when the shift starts up top it’ll trickle down (good).
No idea if we’ll get it done in time.

[TolkienPen @TolkienPen]

I hate it, but damnit that’s good.

[Tiger Vibes @Tiger__Vibes]

I haven’t seen North Carolina State folks this upset since they accidentally shot Stonewall Jackson during the Civil War.
