Probably true, since they are a bunch of cowards without their guns and anonymity.

It’s in Tempe, which is a college town and usually a lot more “variety of ideas friendly” area. It’s a big ass state, not gone down the rabbit hole of how gerrymandered we might be, but I’m listed in a town by address that is nowhere near where my “local” library, grocery, etc which is another town.

There is a lot of wild west expanse and geriatric retirement that keeps a red hold, Tempe isn’t far from Phoenix downtown where I went to a fucking awesome Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, The Linda Linda’s concert last week. I was quite impressed at the the number of both old and young punks that showed up and packed the place! Openly anti trump remarks through the show… not too many left early even, despite the traffic… hmmm…

And, this shit was done overnight, who the hell did they think they might get, janitorial staff? Random underpaid security guard? What fucking dickbags man. Random violence is bad, putting people just doing their jobs, regardless of political affiliation, is just really poor form.

I saw the negativity points to your remark, which should generally be “well yeah… it’s the wild red west?!” Thought some of this may shed a light on that response?

(And, wanted to squeeze in that my old ass stayed up for a whole Green Day show, on a school night!)

Edit: btw, I live in bfe, no way in hell am I putting on a bumper sticker or a sign in my yard. Out of town, there’s lots of crazies with guns. Edit, edit: fixed a, guess half of a sentence got typed… elsewhere?

This is really awesome! I saw your post the other day about it and thought it was a great idea. You work quick! I already found a new community I would not have thought to look for otherwise.

It is hard for me to see and manipulate on mobile, but that’s totally on me. So I’ll be back in a bit. I’m sure someone smarter than me may have more helpful input than that if you are looking for feedback!

So I thought I was gonna head to bed, but… guess I can stay up and peruse for a little while…

Thank you!!

I like it! I don’t know to look for something if I don’t know it exists yet. Something like this would really help with browsing.

It’s always the 10!

I keep one in my center console, my keychain, and random cheapies mixed in around loose tools, on top of whatever is part of the sets. Periodically we’ll still have a hard time finding one when its needed and have to replenish.

Are they hanging out with the lost socks?

My state doesn’t even require one but they send a little paper one every time I update my registration. I imagine something like that could be used? Homeless could use a library or shelter as an address for them?

There would probably be some asshat who would try and snag other’s though. So yeah. Probably best to just stay without.

So whatta I do now? Go to sleep? Pull the pud?

Fuck!! Fucking fucker’s fucked!

I think many of just enjoy learning while we laugh at the funnies. And, as someone else mentioned, just in case someone wants to try something of similar antics in their own campaign, they will know it may not work out quite the same at all.

Now clap your hands 👏👏👏👏

Oo, oo, lemme drop this lil tidbit in too,

Current Focus: Ohio River (Cincinnati to Louisville) to Canada to Montreal (Quebec) to Nova Scotia to Maine] [Secondarily any of the great lakes or the ohio river; Mississippi still a possible]

A water-based, sustainable effort, with a view to a better quality of life. (tentative statement) disclaimer: almost all of this is planned; the only actuals are a couple of sailboats on the ohio river; there are no requirements for supporting one another

As someone with a wall full of S.K. novels, I appreciate this reference.

So glad you were there at that moment for those dogs. That story had me on the edge of my seat in distress for a moment!

I know this is hours later now but, as I am just now reading through winding down for my night, this is what I’m watching!

It’s ok, we understand here. This is your safe space. If we’re going to be damned, let’s be damned for what we really are.

I’ve also known some sleaze bag business owners who seek these kinds of services because they want to find a way to take advantage of programs n things they don’t actually qualify for.

Qapla’! Fucking Ah-maz-ing!

And if you had not voted, how would we be seeing different right now?

Do you really think a 3rd party would have won? Do you think Trump would have made any better decisions for anyone besides is rich donors? Would there be more or less genocide happening?

I know we will actually never know. We do know how to try and hypothesize though.

Until we make a change in our electoral system there is always going to be this Turd Sandwich vs. Douchebag problem. If Trump wins the next election there will be 0 chance of change or reform for the betterment of the people. Without Trump there is a slightly greater than 0.

You will probably not actually stop to consider any of these things, I and the other fine folks have mentioned, while setting your bias aside and evaluating your position. But maybe, someone else reading through the threads here Will stop and think about some of the things being brought up here.

Even with the insane ease of communication we have now with the internet, we cannot as a country of human people, set aside our biases and figure out how to coordinate to any degree to show a mass/collective message.

I have said for decades, if we all just say “Fuck This” and vote for 3rd parties instead of the 2 picked for us it would send a message to those parties about what we actually want AND show us the power our vote really has when apply ourselves. We would need people to actually register to vote and then Vote! The amount of the population that does is fucking laughable though, so I guess they feel it’s fine, and that’s their vote too.

Virginia, Tennessee, Iowa and Kentucky still have policies that result in at least some US citizens being effectively shut out of democracy for life. Several other states, including Florida, Alabama and Arizona, predicate voting on having enough money to pay off court fines and fees – another barrier that makes it nearly impossible for low-income Americans to regain the right to vote.

Piping in with some odd history info. They were originally made to give theater patrons something to watch while the main film was re-wound. Theaters used to play the same movie on repeat all day until they got a new film, then it was that movie all day. There were no “move times”. If you showed up midway you just stayed until it repeated so you could catch the beginning. Also why news reels and other visual media would get played.

Psycho made the change to set times. Hitchcock did not want anyone to accidentally see the end without starting from the beginning. Shortly after that those movie trailers got bastardized into the ads we now know them as.
