That cropping has to be deliberate.

Um… do you happen to know a fella selling any of those shoulder fired objects of value? I’m asking for a friend.

Bingo. The only reason to smoke kush/spice/k2/whatever-other-dumb-name-the-marketing-comes-up-with is because you want brain damage. Smoke the real stuff, and you can avoid the permanent effects.

That’s the big one with Gen Z that I know of. I can think of several that I know that fell for it while 16-22, but none that fell prey to the typical ones about your SSN or buying gift cards.

Holes sounds like a paradise compared to this place, really. No feces in the living quarters, everyone had a bed, and the only people who were really physically punished were the staff. I’m trying to think of the worst thing in Holes, and it was probably the implication of being left to die in the sun? Or maybe shot. I think there was a point where one of the staff members started carrying a gun, right?

So what is it like compared to Guru maps? I’ve been using that as my primary for a while.

Yep. That’s why I brought up my comment. I thought for years that discussing your salary was a really bad thing, because so many people talk about how you’ll get fired for it. Imagine my surprise when I actually read through those NLRB posters in the break room…

This is why everyone needs to talk about their salary. Shatter that idiotic notion about pay rate discussions being bad, because it only benefits the assholes at the top sucking every penny they can.

So… does this tip involve procreation-like activities between consenting ‘not parental’ father figures?

Voat was batshit crazy, but some of the things done there were done well. I really liked that the ‘big subs’ were considered voat run, so the moderators didn’t get to make their own little kingdoms of folly in the most popular areas. The commitment to free speech was great. It just went down so hard because the first people who went to it were the type to scrawl on the walls of their house in pastel crayon and neon spray paint.

What’s amusing to me is that one of the stated reasons the religious nut jobs were persecuted was for their anti-war beliefs. Somehow that script got flipped.

Fair enough. Different states, different rules.

Very few, if we’ve been paying attention. Which protests/riots had more cops willing to shoot at those involved? The heavily armed ‘marches’ that we’ve seen, or the large crowds of unarmed individuals? Sure, some of that may have been because of bias from the police, but I guarantee most of it was because they were afraid of starting a shooting when there was the possibility of being shot back at.

Same here, but their true address is still held somewhere. It’s only the displayed address on a driver’s license that shows the police station/court. Listing it as their address for voting purposes probably is probably murky, and not explicitly allowed or explicitly illegal.

I’m really curious (as I’m not living there) what the difference is. Is it just their religious tendencies? Or is it their feelings towards the nebulous “other” that defines them?

You have my attention, because I have always thought gelatin and pudding were separate and distinct cups.

Supposedly they used biodegradable paint. On that measure, you can’t fault them.

Yeah, one of the big countermeasures being the people who live on board, as in, the crew. I hope they can sleep at night knowing they killed a working class schmuck. Fire, or these more outlandish ideas of explosives and scuba shit, will almost certainly get the crew members if it’s enough to actually sink a yacht like this.

I have an aunt with six DUIs. After the second, they all become felonies, which are supposed to be 2 years at least in jail. I don’t think she’s ever spent more than a day in jail. Intoxication manslaughter may be worse, but the courts treat alcohol related incidents with kid gloves a LOT of the time.
