A big part of the anti-choice crowd's success is their single issue focus. They don't change their votes based on the price of gas.

Jim Jefferies agrees

Your link is now broken, but here's the interview with the kid who witnessed it https://archiveddit.com/?video=uydcpe.mp4

Yeah, same here. Hunting rifles and shotguns are tools. All these para-military guns have become fetishized toys.

Yeah, my job is statistically more dangerous than cops' jobs from a death standpoint too, although I concede that theirs is way more dangerous in most other ways. But that's what both they and I...

What's hyperbole? I wasn't going for mathematically accurate. Fuck guns is a better bumper sticker than "please consider voting for candidates that support enacting science based common sense gun...

Police lied about the timeline. Multiple times. And about shooter having body armor. And about him being barricaded.

They lied about the armed resource officer's whereabouts.

They detained...

As of this moment, k-12 students in the United States are more likely to be fatally shot than on-duty police officers.

2022 number of dead cops: 20
2022 number of dead kids: 24

Because nobody with any real power wants it to change. Nobody is willing to expend the political capital. You'd need a two thirds supermajority (or equivalent amount of bipartisanship) to do...

This. Trump probably had a better chance than most, but didn't want to expend the political capital. Which is another way of saying he doesn't care.

Because nobody with any real power wants to.

I was at the Vancouver show. Poured with rain. In July!

Similar experience watching Ministry. It was like a collective holy shit moment.

It's worse than meaningless. It's an intentional self-fulfilling prophecy.

This. The tired old trope that "guns don't kill people; people kill people" skirts the laws of physics. If the well regulated militia had to stop to ram their muskets, so should wannabe kid killers.

Plus I and I'm assuming other android users read it on a black background.

The only remaining core value of the GQP is hypocrisy.

edit: @ summit, I wasn't arguing with you. Just saw the chart, immediately suspected bs, and you were the last person talking...

The parameters of what's considered a mass shoot have been fluid. The 430 that chart depicts is way on the low end. Current general consensus is 1350ish from 2009 to 2021.

I haven't read this thread... is it "if only there was something we could do about Leroy?"

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today

Another good one

That's a solid first.

My third was Never Mind the Bollocks, and The Clash eponymous was very likely #4

It was at least a year or two after it was released because I had heard a few of the songs on a cassette tape, but didn't have any way to get to a record store, or even know where one was,...

Gerald Casale was at the Kent State shooting. Devo was art-rock, social comment, comedy, and catchy songs.

Mick Jagger liked their cover of Satisfaction.

Yeah, Spade could very well still be an asshole IRL, but he's toned down on the podcast and their dynamic works. Maybe it's from them both being a little in the shadows of Adam Sandler, Chris Rock...

I've listened to that podcast as well, and it's pretty interesting. To be honest, I've generally found both of them (as comedians) kinda annoying, but they're insightful and likable as themselves.

QFT. Skiing was dying. The gear was shit. Ticket sales were waning. Hills were going out of business. It needed a shake up, and snowboarding was it.

I did. But I kept thinking 'this (terrain, snow condition, etc) would be better on skis'.

My parents had an all-killer, no-filler record collection that spanned from before I was born into the early 80s. Full Beatles catalog, Stones, Who, Doors, Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, Beach Boys,...

Yeah bad shit for sure. But bad shit happens every decade in this country.

The (original) Arrested Development was genius.

We need a 00s thread.

And who lived directly across the hall again...?

edit: even accepting the premise that this unlikely group of friends are living lives of leisure in NY, I still didn't connect or sympathize with...

So I just googled it. The 80s came in with a bang.

1980
- Mount St. Helens erupts
- the dingo ate Chamberlain's baby
- Iran Iraq War
- John Lennon killed

1981
- first five aids cases

Yeah

Culturally, I'd say it started with Alex P Keaton. There's a straight line from there to Bud Fox and Gordon Gekko.

The seventies ended November 4, 1980. I came home from school and my mom was in the living room, ironing my dad's shirts in front of the tv, and crying.

There's a making of Seinfeld documentary where they're interviewing Jerry about how when they got the offer for the pilot, he and Larry met to spitball ideas, wandering around New York doing mundane...

Ha! I have never once intentionally watched an episode of Friends. But I learned at a young age, that unless you want a life of celibacy, don't hog the tv remote.

I wasn't released until 1980

Played a lot of Galaga too. In the 90s, I worked at a place that had a two-player Ms Pac Man in our office. Needless to say, not much work got done.

Had to google the timeline: 89-98

I'd seen his standup and although he was good, the material was just glib observations, and petty annoyances. Plus, as you noted, his acting was terrible.

But...

At least he didn't pop the collar.

I didn't like Seinfeld when it came out. There. I said it.
