  1. That strange moment when you realize having Internet is one of the best defenses against pandemic rampage Imagine trying this level of personal isolation during the party hard, coked up 70's

  2. Paying for a prison cage. That's a...novel business concept.

  3. You've discovered the truth. There is no David Hogg! They are all CGI characters. Man, I bet I could package that bullshit and sell it with dietary supplements too.

  4. It's ridiculous that we live in an era where the media has to spend more time debunking falsehoods and stupids put out by the Government than simply distributing and analysing information put out by it

  7. Semantics doesn't change what they do, and your attempt to pettifog makes you a laughingstock. The AR was never invented for "sporting purposes" by Gene Stoner. The M16 and M4 are merely the military designations of the same rifle, with trigger group options. An Assault Rifle. That it means Armalite and not Assault Rifle means nothing. It, and all other equally capable rifles, are expressly built for assaulting an equally armed military force. Not for defending your house. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Stoner And before you say it, NO, you won't be the judge of what to defend your family with. The Law will decide. And it may very well decide you don't get to buy them any more. Unless you plan on being a NON law abiding citizen, that is.

  8. It's Feudalism. Lords divvying up their peasants and the land, and ensuring any uprising will be redirected away from them by setting the castes against each other

  9. Because History is a weapon of mass destruction. The greatest thing that could happen to the human race would be to wake up tomorrow without a clue about what our parents and grandparents did, speaking a common language that noone can really claim as "theirs". We've reached a point where we respect history more than we should, and instead of taking lessons from it, use it as a legal argument to kill and take from others. They say those who forget history are doomed to repeat it, but the truth is we make it a point to relive it every chance we get. As counterintuitive as it sounds, there's something to be said about a fresh start on equal terms.

  10. Why I don't have fast internet: Comcast. I mean, I'm paying for "10 mb/s", but never get more than 1 unless it's 3 AM.

  11. When you back the Saudis against the Iranians, you simply endorse Sunni Islam vs Shia Islam. Just because one flavor of Islam LOOKS more progressive and just, does not make it so. Remember that ISIS and Al-Qaeda are Sunni movements.

  17. The problem with the movie is more deep seated than the tin foil hat shenanigans. It's that it's a propaganda story touching on everything that is near and dear to the GOP base, who was the target of this puff piece. Things we've all heard from people who lean that way: 1. Abuse your kids from time to time. They'll turn out tough, and better Americans for it. 2. Country boy can survive. And is the TRUE American. White/Iowa/Texas vote pandering. 3. Everyone should aim to be a SEAL! You just have to have enough 'Murica in ya! Unlike those poor, unprepared marines that Kyle had to go down to "save" at street level. Yeah, with their sub-standard training and ability...makes me wonder if the Navy footed the bill for this movie as a recruiting piece to get kids into their office, rather than the Corps next door. 4. Guns are therapy. Except for that guy who shot Chris Kyle. 5. If Kyle was a legend, it's funny that I never heard of a legendary SEAL Sniper when we were there at the same time as him. We heard about the AH-64 crew that had over 130 kills to their name in Fallujah, and we heard about an Army forward observer who leveled half of Tikrit with artillery and airstrikes in the book The Devils Sandbox, who was ATTACHED to a SEAL team, but we never heard of Kyle while we were there. We even heard about the engineers who set off a damn MCLC in the middle of the street during the Battle of Fallujah in a morning INTSUM. I don't doubt his courage, or what he could do, or his service. What I doubt is the "legend" status that suddenly came up after his death. Smells like a combination Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch PR job, which inevitably turns sour after more digging happens. That tarnishes his memory more than anything else. I sure as shit wouldn't want people using my name as propaganda after my passing, taking my service overseas in vain for their own gain.

  18. They're dead set on building an ICBM arsenal because China is telling them to. You don't really think this is all bespoke tech development do you? China only berates them as a publicity stunt, so they don't face massive financial warfare for handing this to the DPRK openly. The DPRK is China's rabid pitbull, they just can't pet it publicly.

  19. +graves Chirpin' Brodies in a BMP is pretty gangster. I am very thankful ISIS has a uniform standard. Makes it easy to pick them out.

  20. Wyatt Moore Congrats on your copypasta political views. Nothing beats a pulled-out-of-the-hat bumper sticker philosophy that is trending on...whatever. This stale meme ranks right up there with "Make America Great Again"

  21. +justadbeer Oh look, bumper sticker philosophy. "I'd rather be judged by 10 than carried by 6" "The Five Finger Discount can be countered by the .38 Rebate" Blah blah blah, NRA nuts can't absorb an actual conversation, TL;DR for their tastes. So the NRA Casualty Factory pumps out lots of kitschy, easy to say 1 liners for their base. I have guns. But the NRA of today is not the NRA I was a member of in decades past. It actually cared about gun safety, not sales.

  24. The word you're looking for is "Triggered", James. Trump supporters are "triggered". And those liberals can spot clickbait and neocon melodrama with more savvy than Trump supporters. Their bullshit senses are more finally attuned because Trump supporters discovered the Interwebs, memes, and how to use their smart phones about 10 years later than their liberal counterparts. Fox news story comments have actual American tiki torch enthusiasts, VICE/MSNBC/CNN has russian trolls doing their group downvote thing, just like here. You can generally tell the difference by the number of copy/paste/mispelled ridiculous comments.

  25. I have no sympathy for Afghans who live on Opium production rather than food farming, and neither do I have a shred of sympathy for Columbians who live on the Narco economy.

  28. It was never intended to have an effect on the Assad regime. It was done for the Russians to conduct live tests of their Anti Missile and GPS baffling systems against our missiles and UAV's, and then advertise their effectiveness to customers for their arms business. To do that, they needed to be used against real US missiles so they can refine them, package them, and sell them to dictators. The evidence? Russian media has been going apeshit since the strikes touting their effectiveness. It's one big giant commercial for Russian arms sales.

  29. 8:04 Iran is the ultimate anti-status quo government my ass. Trading psychotic princes for psychotic imams is anything but. I love how every arab and persian in the comments keeps trying to pin it on The West. This, ladies and gents, is the result of decades of old men with a quran in one hand and one finger pointing up rallying their "base" to get power and prestige. Imams. Princes. Doesn't matter. It's always the same. You want power, blame it all on foreigners, say "go attack them!" and watch all the men in your crowd start foaming at the mouth and do anything you say. Sounds just like a Trump rally, but with a taqiyah or keffiyeh instead of an orange tupee.

  30. SO what vox is saying about the DR is: The blacker the berry, the less welcome the juice?

  31. The Affiliation of US Voters: 28% Democrat, 27% Republican, 45% Independent or Other US Population Representation in the House: 232 Democrats, 197 Republicans, 1 Independent (Formerly Republican) US State Representation in the Senate: 45 Democrats, 53 Republicans, 2 Independents (That have to caucus with Democrats) Anyone else notice the problem with our math? Trash the two party system. They aren't enshrined in the constitution, and usurp representative democracy.

  32. In the end, Megxit gave the Royals fresh press, which easily translates into more Brand revenue to prop up the House of Windsor's bottom line.

  33.  @TheRabidDolphin99  You just want others to tell you about what a good person you are. After you explain it to them at length, of course. You narcissistic omnivore, you.

  38. And they want to scrap hundreds of A-10's that fly on a shoestring budget, and are there to provide CAS when we grunts need it on the ground because they're cheap and reliable, all so they can use the cash for a tiny handful of more Lightnings that the Airforce won't risk or have enough of to provide the ground support when we need it.

  41. That's a lie. A very, very big lie. Which makes you a liar. GSA payscales are, and have been, slightly lower than or at least commensurate with median household income scales for decades, and during the 80's, significantly lower as a percentage to the median household income. The average Federal employee grossed $51.3k in 2018, State employees averaged $53k. US Median Income was $56.5k. Federal Employees sit almost exactly at the perfect middle class income standard. Explain yourself and your lie. Right now.

  42. The even better solution: NO parties at all. Any representative or holder of political office goes to jail for taking their marching orders from a Party rather than his/her own constituency directly. Because Parties are not Voters. They are a gang. That was never part of the Constitution, and goes around the will of the voters themselves.

  43. There's always another hidden economic factor behind the Passenger Airliner business: Alot of their money isn't from passengers. It's from hauling commercial cargo downstairs. It's far from being 100% travel bags and shaving kits. Alot of your online 2 day air orders aren't on dedicated cargo craft, they're underneath passenger craft. Concorde couldn't haul cargo in a profitable fashion. It was a passenger-only ride.

  44. Portland's main Tram system (the MAX line, on which the media recently told you all about two men who were stabbed to death at the stop a block from my house for standing up to a white nationalist) is NOT well represented in the videos you see here. Where the MAX lines go, so does an insane amount of crime and neighborhoods get trashed VERY quickly. Much more so than the robust bus system we already have. The trams have been referred to since the 90's as the "Stab Me Express", especially around Lloyd Center mall.

  45. Parties are nothing more than tolerated forms of conspiracy to do an end run around representative democracy. If that's the way it was meant to be, you wouldn't be voting for a person to represent you and your district, you would simply have two colored boxes to choose from on your ballot.

  46. It's the Golden Rule. The people with the gold make all the rules. So they can get the rest of the gold.

  47. The Science of Hype still defeats the artistry of great scripts. Pulling your beaver out of the trash and showing it to the world won't change that. He Never Died was no hit. But it was amazing, even though the script was only a mild twist on the time worn "Dad with Dark History saves kidnapped daughter" rap in Taken and other flicks. How many of you saw it? Now: How many of you saw The Martian? Not exactly a deep script. It's Castaway. But with Matt Damon, facetime with infinite roaming minutes, and Potatoes. Yet everyone knows the story.
