I have some small discussions with Cowbee and my experience was that he’s much more reasonable to talk to than most other people with similar viewpoints.

Trainer Robertson jobs and he took his Mercedes. But I didn’t know that deal with my election but it says it didn’t come. hello.

I’ve made this observation for some time now. Isn’t funny how the industries which hire illegal immigrants are skewed conservative ownership-wise? Construction, roofing, agriculture, trucking, hotels. My belief is that in addition to exploiting division and fear, they want to keep these workers marginalized so they can take advantage of them. Being able to dodge OSHA, medical comp, minimum wage, payroll tax, and so on are all Republican dreams.

That’s how Facebook went for me the last time I tried to use it with a new account… I was immediately swamped with friend requests from people in western and central Africa. I accepted some out of curiosity so of course FB decided that’s what I was really into. I’m not sure if these people just send out random requests or why they want to add Americans… I didn’t get hit up for scams or anything, it was just people posting and sharing photos of their lives as normal FB users.

Sounds like BitTorrent, too

I think I said the opposite of that? Tempered glass does just suddenly blow up sometimes.

Anyway, I was a glassblower for 15 years and yes, mechanical stress builds up in glass over time as it gets bumped, tapped or knocked around. Small scratches and nicks can significantly weaken older glass too.

Mechanical stress builds up in glass over time, so like that stupid homemade submarine, it could have been weakened and finally just blew.

I’ve definitely noticed people who challenge anything you say by asking for a source, but make tons of unsourced claims themselves.

Rich people making more money is true Republican goal and the reason for everything else. Co-opting the deranged fanatical Christian sector was just part of the strategy to achieve that.

It’s also the same crap conservatives do with the government in general in the US. Cut budgets and make institutions dysfunctional, then say that the dysfunction indicates it should be privatized.

Not really a “hobby”… his plan was to profit from selling them to ranches for people to shoot.

Yes, divided. I have an idea, states should allow abortion and republicans or weird Christians who don’t like it can not get one.

Concrete blocks? Springs? Water?

Maybe the water was acidic from pollution, could be just the different source. Either way, they should have thought it out and could have treated the pH of the water. And sure, the aging infrastructure is bullshit. The entire thing was completely unnecessary too, basically Republicans who wanted to fuck people over out of hatred and spite, as far as I could tell. I don't think we're in disagreement there.

The problem in flint wasn’t that the water source was polluted, but rather that it was more acidic than the previous water supply. That wreaked havoc on the aging lead pipes in the community.

To the point at least. The impression I always got was that it was meant to imply you’d have money by then and not want to pay taxes.

The people who told me that were 100% boomers. There’s that idiotic saying “if you’re not liberal* when you’re 20, you have no heart. If you’re not conservative when you’re 40 you have no brains” ok boomer.

Note this is using the US meaning of liberal, not to mean “capitalist”.

makes sense, they look a lot like the Toyotas etc from around then.

I assumed this was V8. Well... nothing to report here.
