Proud boys have earned that condemnation, along with pretty much every right wing group that has photos with swastika or nazi salutes. Yet, I need more info about the members of a school board, other than who they removed from a meeting.

I’m was an anti-fan of the proud boys even back when it was just a social group of goons, and also I’m not generally a fan of school boards. However, people need to be challenged when they claim “nazi” to show something besides an unrelated set of connected dots.

It was specific argument about inferring the school board was Nazi’s, because they kicked out one group but not another during a meeting. I said I’d need more details to make that leap. I’m coming from old school ACLU, first principles. Yet, those ideas are very inconvenient to mobs blood thirst.

For questioning if the label was appropriate (specifically the school board), it’s automatically deemed “Nazi apologia”? You realize how totalitarian that is right? Once the claim of Nazi is made, people then are “Nazi adjacent” for not being in lockstep? Do you have a special salute too?

My in laws got an AirB&B in the Bay Area that had so many penises I thought it had to be a prank.

I imagine I am, as I once said that I needed more information to sign-on to condemning a school board as Nazi’s for ejecting protesters.

Don’t feel special, I don’t even skeet on a regular basis.

I want booze to be free on public transit.

If I can’t drink in a public park, they shouldn’t be able to drink on a county golf course. Although, I’m game to get rid of all open container laws. Let us return to the good old days of people getting openly plastered in public spaces. It really brought us all together.

Just have to get moving on it! or, I guess, get moving on not moving.

I’d just like to see them make golf carts only available to the disabled. Something about seeing people in polo shirts driving around in those carts really makes me want to burn down a financial building.

Sitting on toilet drinking coffee 2 minutes before work zoom meeting thinking, “I have time to skeet about this”.

…and nobody showed up, so sad.

I think this anytime I watch it. 🎈

Hating golf is right, but as land use goes, it gets much more use per acre than public parks. With many of newer courses water reclamation systems, they are insanely more efficient with water usage than public parks that typically don’t reclaim water. They also are profitable for counties vs parks.

Oh no, I’m probably going to say “OnlyCankles” to myself like 20 thousand times today.

Each outfitted with a city wide PA system they have unfettered 24hour access to.

One per city globally sounds right.

The story is so bad, I skipped an episode on accident and figured the discontinuity was intentional.

I’ll have my own commemorative coin made of that historical moment.

He’s not. It’s a commemorative coin made to sell to rubes.

MAGA Guy: THEY INDICTED HUNTER BIDEN! Justice! .. What they get him on? .. Oh, it’s illegal to do illegal drugs and buy guns? So, hypothetically speaking, if I’m on unprescribed Oxy’s and buy a gun, I did the same thing? .. They really prosecute that? Sheeeeet.

I always imagined working on Star Wars stuff is like this: Production team: “This makes no sense, can we spend 20 minutes thinking of a better idea that somewhat works?” George Lucas: “You know what would be cool, Ewoks that have bat wings!” Production team:“You know what, this is totally fine.”

I’m enjoying Ahsoka, but the plot is a collection of holes tightly strung together by other holes.

Took a look at my student loan details and I think I'm going to focus my efforts on getting sucked into an interdimensional portal.

The belief we hold the perfect purified ideological view is what allows us to overly demonize a view we feel is heterodox (without even exploring it). It’s skin off your nose when you’re surprised by mob that’s vindictively targeting you for speaking what you understood to be true.

Nothing, the problem is something different. For instance imagine you (Andie) had some subtle and nuanced understanding of a situation. Then the group you identified with starts calling you a nazi, because you had a slightly different take. From that hypothetical you can extrapolate the problems.

This guy haunted my childhood.

I like to go through 2 or 3 a year, just to spice things up and keep hope alive.

Would be cool for people if they did that introspection, but it’s hard not to keep chasing the carrot on a stick that is desire instead. [Note: Sex isn’t at all the problem, but rather people thinking it’s the answer and creating misery for themselves and others in chasing it.]

Using “despite the better angels of our nature" as just a turn of phrase (Lincoln/Shakespeare thing). My meaning is only how we sometimes make choices we really know we shouldn’t.

2/2 We could really use Cenobite type hells to wear out what we think we’re after, so we could finally see the raw intimacy we’re trying to touch under it all. Sorry, I take a lot of mushrooms.

Repression doesn’t help. Yet, it takes such a rare type of internal exploration to even begin to understand our desires in a way that could help mitigate them from leading into disaster. Even then, it’s such a slippery core impulse, it often gets its way despite the better angels of our nature. 1/2
