Either that or it will become a toxic cesspool that you can smell for kilometers.

As someone who used to like the pool, I hope this happens and stays that way until we sort our shit out.

I tend to make my own tex-mex, but there's a place nearby that I love to go to when I'm feeling down.

That said, sometimes when I'm out and I want something "close enough" that I can eat while driving (one hand and I can drop it without it going everywhere) I get a bean and cheese burrito with a cup of nacho cheese.

I have been getting the lgbt+ people in my area acquainted with firearms, and while some of them aren't mentally in a place where they can join us, they will be protected if needed.

Already this year one of my "students" has had to defend themselves in an alley while walking home. Guy made transphobic comments, waited outside and followed. Security cameras managed to catch everything but in this city if there hadn't been cameras, she'd be tossed in a cell with a bunch of guys and then the cops would leave and hope something bad happens. It wouldn't be the first time.

When the people surrounding you would happily chuck a stone at you or hoist the rope into the tree with the rest of the lynch mob, and cops won't protect you, all the people trying to mock you for being prepared just look like naive children whose world view extends to the end of their HOA.

"A great American city is on the precipice of being run by a communist who has publicly embraced a terroristic ideology,”

I'd love for reporters to start pushing politicians when they say dumb shit. Don't just let them say it and then gawk at the camera like you're Jim from the office or move on with questions.

"in what way are you concluding that Mr. Mamdani is a communist? Are you aware of the difference between communism and socialism, and could you explain how he is a communist?"

"what terrorist ideology? waits for answer In what way is this the ideology of a terrorist?"

Show that they have no idea what the words they spew mean. Show that they're just using buzzwords that sound scary.

And then give the facts.

38 digits of pi can get the circumference of the visible universe to within a single hydrogen atom.

10 digits gets the diameter of the earth to within an inch.

Read the story and be pissed by how any news outlet phrases it in any way other than "this man was murdered in a pre-meditated manner after prolonged harassment from psychotic neighbors who previously murdered their dog"

Rorschach was right about one thing, people like this shouldn't get to go to jail. Rabid Animals get put down.

Fight fire with napalm.

Works every time.

"I deserve to exist"

"wow, why did you have to make things political"

A statement dreamt up by the utterly deranged.

My first thought was "So we call 'following the law' a loophole now?"

If the law meant a fucking thing, he would have been in prison decades ago.

Here's the one that convinced my dad that connecting everything is bad:

Your smart fridge knows what's inside and knows you just added a 12 pack of soda and donuts to the shopping list. They sell that data to a bunch of companies, including your insurance company. They know you have diabetes.

Your insurance rates just went up for the fifth time this year because your insurance company knows what you're eating.

And it's a good thing you don't drink beer or your car insurance would have gone up 'due to increased risk factors.' too bad you wanted to buy a new car this year.

Not only can you not afford it now, the price went up because they know you want a car. I'm sure they would make a payment deal with you though.

And every company will know all about the deal, the beer, the donuts, and all it took was sending money to whatever company had the information, and they were more than happy to sell it.

The more we allow companies to freely operate like this without regulation and without proper punishment for breaking the rules, we will continue sliding toward the hellscape of Ferenginar. For the non trekkies, it's a hyper-capitalist species of profit-driven assholes.

They wear their title proudly. Openly admit it in the streets.

And yet for some reason, are allowed to continue to operate freely.

Our country goes to war for less.

Edit: A friend of mine got this shoved in their mailbox today

Totally not domestic terrorists...
