The money generated on live-streams like this must be so crazy... Rekieta has 68,000+ watching the stream right now... and 1 of the many superchats that just came in was for $500!

 

On another note way out in left field... what if it turned out that a few different alien races are indeed here and have been for a while... and they have a way of assuming a human appearance.... and thus, hiding in plain sight.  In that remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still", of Klaatu looked just like any other human after he emerged from the placenta-looking "suit"... then he met up with another alien that looked like an ordinary old man at a fast food place. (*this older one had been here for a very long time, and even had a human family)  That would be fascinating if we ever found out that some random people we see or meet day to day are actually some other creature that's in disguise.

That's like being a doctor and refusing to help a patient because you may see blood. If that's the case, the profession isn't for you. Nursing is a good field to go into, I didn't because I can't stick a needle into someone. It wasn't for me. So I didn't go that route.

Cops are the boot of the state, and they are not going to risk their lives for your protection.  This has been established by multiple Supreme Court rulings.  There is no way any cop would stop me from going in that school to get my kids though.

House Republican Deflects Three Times When Asked Why 18-Year-Olds Are Allowed to Buy AR-15s

 

 

 

MSNBC’s Garrett Haake asked Gonzalez on Thursday why he thinks the 18-year-old should be allowed to buy guns. He either could not, or would not, answer the question.

 

“You can’t buy a beer when you’re 18 years old,” Haake noted, before he asked Gonzales, “Why do you need to be able to buy an assault rifle?”

 

The Texas Republican responded, “You know, I think part of the conversation, we have to be unified. This country is not unified.”

Haake went in for another attempt, asking, “Why does an 18-year-old in Texas need to be able to buy an assault rifle?”

 

Gonzales again refrained from answering.

 

“The reality is this isn’t a new topic,” he said. “There has been a lot of legislation that has been out there.”

 

“You haven’t answered my question, though,” Haake noted, before he again asked, “Why does an 18-year-old need an AR-15 in the state of Texas?”

 

Gonzales replied, “This is how the legislative process works. Congress determines the laws. Right now, we have a Congress that won’t talk to one another. There’s so much rhetoric and hate.”

ha, that seems easy enough to at least try and answer... I guess that chump was just scared....

 

At 18, our society generally agrees that a person is at least legally speaking... an adult.  You can buy cigarettes, vote, you already are old enough to have had a driver license for the past 2 years and you are old enough to serve in the military....and of course you're also fine in terms of the legal "age of consent" at that point in every state....you can form the "beast with 2 backs" with other adults and it's fine.  Moving the legal age upward for firearms is something for state legislature to sort out then...but that still wouldn't stop the situation of future losers to just swipe a weapon from Mom or Dad then.  That seems to be how it usually works anyway... the chump will just get the gun some other way instead of legally buying it.

 

Absurd shit I heard in entertainment news the other day---apparently Laura Dern now thinks the relationship between her character in Jurassic Park and that older guy was "inappropriate"... I guess because she was 23 at the time.  Most of the responses I saw on that thread were people who all had the impression that she was much older than that at the time... haha I thought the same thing...she looked at least 30-something back then.  Besides... nah don't try to demonize that shit too.  Even if her character was written to be the same age (*it wasn't, from what I hear).... last I checked 23 was perfectly legal.....in fact even in the oldest Age of Consent laws she had been legal for the past 5 years at that point.....doesn't matter if he's old enough to have been her dad.

They took that right away from 18 year old in the state of AZ 3 years ago. You have to be 21 to buy smokes in AZ now. 

 

They will slowly chip away at what you can and can not do until the only thing you're allowed to do at age 18 is die for your country.

I'm not sure how to fix this, but if a State can pass a law to make the person killing someone in DUI related crash responsible for child support, this shouldn't be that hard.

"Can't buy smokes or alcohol  you're not an adult, you're not mature enough to make such decisions!!!

 

Now sign this college loan you don't understand with interests purposefully confusing that will fuck your whole life up. Oh you don't want to do that? Well you're  18 you can join the military and fight wars for resources at the expense of your very life!!!"

 

Almost all of our so called leaders are shit bags. I don't just mean politicians, I mean anyone in a so called leadership role. School councelers sucker these young adults into life long crippling debt the moment their old enough to sign it away but "we" don't trust them to make.personal life/health decisions on their own. Business owners rob their employees of their labor and value and say they deserve it.

The problem is that the job IS to stay in office. That's the hustle. You make yourself visible in a positive light long enough that people vote on you without needing to research.

 

After that you use insider information to trade to get rich or you set up a "foundation" that people donate to.

 

If you're on the republican side, you gotta be a certain type of loud so that Fox News hires you as a contributor. The other avenue that Trump created is to be so fucking batshit crazy that people donate you until you die. Boebert and MTG are on that gameplan.

 

There's also additional layers to a lot of this shit when it comes to donations, think tanks, PACs etc.

This is why ill always be on the side of college loan forgiveness. The system fucks you, and most Republicans keep thinking "oh your an adult"... No the fuck they arent. College kids are idiots and some are literally babies 17 some barely 18 being asked to sign for loans and debt. And we have seen time and time again how financial industry is sneaky as fuck to try and gouge out money and using jedi mindtricks to get people to sign.that's even before we get to how they handle poor families who have the first kid whos potentially gonna be the first to make it to colleges.

[KawaiiBandy]

I'm a bit old school, but here goes. I wish that society can go back to ancient times where the emphasis of money and retail therapy were absent at one point. That's generally why I'm pretty unenthusiastic about the times we live in, and that any progression to knowledge and intelligence by me in order to fully adjust to these times, remains unsatisfying either way. Prosperity is just different to me. I'm not saying that life is too hard for me, but the way it's setup to give a baseless version on the way life should be lived? That never held value to me.

 

The little things like nature, simply getting out, and taking it all in, should always be in high regard to inspire one's day. I just feel like it's fading even further away.

[RSG3]

My parents don't know fuck all about finances and saving. They did their best but when they knew was stocking supplies so when they get money that's what they do. My mom buys tons of supplies and my dad has 2 upright freezers and trunk style freezer FULL of food. They know how to prepare for feast or famine, not how to save money. 

 

I have to teach them shit all the time and I'm not very good at saving money myself.

I wonder how many kids were spoiled enough to have an allowance at all?  I was one of those... usually 5 bucks....and of course I just had to do the normal kid stuff; keep getting good grades and some occasional chores around the house.  I'd understand some people thinking that might be a bit "spoiled".  The 5 bucks adds up quite nicely over time, of course...and that went a long way back when comics were cheaper at the time (I think it was still ranging from 1.25 to maybe 2 bucks in the 80s/early 90s.) and when games at the arcade were just 25 cents per "credit"/play....and of course as a kid, video games, action figures and comics was the only fun stuff I cared about buying.  

 

Sheeeitt that hasn't changed much, really... it's still all about gaming, movies/shows on physical media and the occasional collectible figure.... ohhhh and this reminds me to get back to that bookstore where I saw various action figures--- they had GI Joe, Thundercats, Star Wars, all kinds of things... I want to at least get that Cobra Commander figure....it looks way more cartoon-accurate than any other version I've seen, actually.  I must have it.

I actually think it's pretty smart to give your kids an allowance. It opens up many teaching opportunities, from "arguing" your worth, to learning to save for the things you actually want. 

[axeman61]

Yeah. My mom gave me an allowance, and I got a PS2 with it when I had saved up enough. This was years after PS2s launched, and I got one for cheap after my first crapped out. Kind of a wasteful purchase, but it hammered home saving. I would have been assed out a couple times while unemployed if I didn't save as much as I did/do.

So I understood it, in a shooter scenario the police is supposed to have two teams in place 

Team A to go in and stop the shooter, they aren't concern with anything else but the shooter
Team B to keep innocents Bystanders out, and protect anyone fleeing the building and if necessary direct them to medical first responders

Only after Team A give the all clear do paramedics enter the building. 

Securing the Crime scene comes after the paramedics are done. 

That said,  Uvald Police had no Team A.

I get why heavy politics are verboten on this forum now. To see these republican asswipes dance around the real issue so much is just infuriating.

[zatalcon3]

I'm all for banning of guns. However, it is going to take more than just gun ban because this is straight up a problem with American culture. Parentless, lack of faith, political views, accessible guns, etc. This is more than one problem. 

I have a friend who grew up in the Philippines, from what he says, it's easy to access guns there just as it is here it's just not many people are interested in it. There is another friend I have from Scotland, guns are banned there after their last shooting and nothing happened ever since. Japan doesn't have these problems, China doesn't, not even Russia has this and their fire arm laws are probably just as fluid as here. 

 

It's only here where this happens and this because it is our culture and at the same time we are being dicked around by the powers that be. Both left and right are spinning us on a hamster wheel for the sake of their own cash flow. They make guns easily accessible to minors, then they raise the prices of legit mental health care so that it is almost impossible for people to get help because the affordable ones are shit. They do nothing but feed the masses a form of entitlement, rage, and all sorts of bullshit that internally fucks over everyone mentally. Everything in our media is all geared to making us think the way we do, all emotion no morals, all bullshit no truth, all entitlement and no discipline.
