    Anything a "libtard" doesn't like is something they'll call far right extremism. They want you to feel bad for liking things they don't like. Oh, and it's all your fault that they're upset and throwing a temper tantrum about whatever bullshit-du-jour has their panties in a bunch today so just...

    The best film adaptation of the original story I've seen is the one Toei Animation released in 1975. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen%27s_The_Little_Mermaid_(1975_film) That one stays true to the original story and in the end the mermaid does not get the Prince.

    The first is from the Cedar Rapids, IA ABC television station. The second is, per their about page: If it's like the free papers of a similar bent I've seen on racks at coffee shops, restaurants, &c since the late 90's the majority of their revenue comes from personals and ads for products...

    These days owning a physical copy is a bit broader than "printed out, bound, and sitting on a bookshelf". A bunch of .pdfs backed up on some sort of write-once then it's read-only media like a CD certainly qualifies as a physical copy.

    Don't blame the LA mayor for a power outage. The blame resides entirely with you if you aren't prepared for one.

    Or Ryan Mears saying that Marion County Prosecuters will no longer prosecute minor marijuana posession offenses back in 2019: https://www.wthr.com/article/news/crime/marion-county-will-no-longer-prosecute-simple-marijuana-cases/531-f7ad16e8-9110-4c2a-bcaf-071555a2b5d6 It's basically him...

    I like to think of myself as "left of liberal" on some issues. I've never thought that I'd ever agree with Stalin on anything but ... "I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how." -...

    My list of stuff to bring along on a camping trip includes a pint of Everclear in a plastic bottle. It's not for drinking. That's a mild anesthesic, a sanitizer, a way to make dirty water drinkable, and a rocket fuel all-in-one. The stuff you'd include in a survival kit is not what you'd expect.

    You remember the late '90s, the bursting of the .com bubble, and 9/11 differently than I do. 9/11/2001 I was out to get breakfast from McDonalds when I saw a line of cars waiting for gasoline. My first reaction was "hmm, that's odd" before I went about my business. I didn't switch my car's...

    The flies will find the shit and the rot. Soon enough, there will be maggots everywhere exposing the shit and the rot if the flies are not removed immediately.

    They didn't raise taxes. They actually reduced them for all corporations (after accounting shenanigans) from the 21% it was. Someone very charismatic channeled Regan's "tax cuts raise tax revenue" Laffer Curve shenanigans and got people to believe them. I remember the late Clinton years. 39.6%...

    For me politeness is just something I do. If I don't know you you're going to get a Ma'am or Sir from me and there are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

    My big sis Euphie can easily get 28-29 aimed shots on target with a Short-Magazine Lee-Enfieid within a minute. She says she can do 32ish at 1,600 yards. I believe her because she doesn't look like she's rushing things when she reloads. EDIT: I can get maybe one shot on target at that range on...

    As I said above: he got lucky. A multi-person hit team using the same innacurate cartridge and rifle would have needed to fire at precise times to within milliseconds to get the same results. A highly improbable bullet bouncing all over the place is a better explaination than the myriad of...
