I actually support the laws in question as a concept, basically requiring ID to access the sites. The problem is most of the states don't have any good rule in place to help with the verification

The way I'd want it to be handled would be for IDs to have both a card number and security pin, and you would give the sites the ID# and pin and they'd just get a pass/fail without getting any info about you from a centralized or state level database. Have it work for alcohol, tobacco, Sudafed, porn, etc
These laws are a stepping stone to an ID requirement to use the Internet with all usage tied to your name. Porn can in fact be posted on any site, so any site with user-generated content must require verification to access. An even worse problem than porn is "racially-motivated violent extremism" so we're going to start ID-tagging every single thing posted by users on public websites. Enforcing this will basically require site owners to install government-mandated spyware on their servers, together with a bunch of other compliance requirements that will push most small sites offline. If you're hosting your own site it had better be completely static, blogs with comments will only be available through hosts like WordPress.com.
 
He is but he’s also the villain in the first movie.

He became a goofy anti-hero in the cartoon.
But Keaton didn't play him in the goofy cartoon. And from what I remember, that's pretty much its own thing anyway with a completely different premise.

Reactions: George Lucas
There are a few reasons why the Marines like Mattis.
  • He was an aggressive commander and often told his Marines to bring the fight to the enemy, so the more gung-ho frontline soldiers liked him. This was why Mattis relieved Colonel Joe Dowdy in 2003: Dowdy's soldiers all say that he was a great commander who really cared about his men, but that made him cautious and defensive, which slowed down the whole operation. Mattis wanted his Marines to get in there and fight.
  • Mattis, even at higher ranks, would walk along frontline positions and ask Marines how they were doing. There are also a ton of eyewitnesses who confirm that Mattis would literally walk around frontline positions while bullets were flying and his Marines were in foxholes. This gave Mattis a reputation for being absolutely fearless.
  • Mattis was 100% devoted to the Marine Corps, never sold the branch or his soldiers short, and very much embodied the esprit de corps.
His political career notwithstanding, Mattis earned the respect of his soldiers.
I couldn't have explained it any better myself. He very much was what you want as a leader, he wasn't afraid to walk among those he lead. He also understood marines want to break shit and kill people, and Dowdy was a softcock who got what he deserved. But mostly, the Dowdy situation was a new pussified marine vs a more old school marine that was more about objective than safety. That matters.
 
As an anecdotal point of reference for where even the most unenthusiastic lefty's are at, my wife has a few friends she's in a group chat with, and when she asked if they'd be voting, one of the lefty's, a early 20's unemployed college kid currently enrolled in an art's degree on mommy and daddy's dime said "I'm not voting this cycle, at this point all I care about is what's best for Palestine"...

"at this point all I care about is what's best for Palestine"

This is where they are at.
 
Jesus is this for real. Do they think this is a serious candidate. Come on.
She's a soy based imitation candidate being pushed by the press and uniparty. She doesn't have to be serious, she has to have technically checkmarked the boxes "addressed the Trump wants Nazi Generals hoax" so the media can actually do the work. That's it.

Basically doing a Skyrim speedrun election campaign. Run into the room, click on the NPC, skip skip skip option 3 skip skip option 2 skip option 3 skip skip cancel dialogue drop shitty quest reward run out the doorway, quest updated, onwards to the next quest marker, go go go.

Sounds like the groyper movement finally recruited a woman
 
NGL, this one hurts me a lot... As a big kid who grew up to be a big guy, Mick has always been a personal hero of mine.
The man clearly has a huge heart, but sadly I think years/decades of unprotected chair shots and literally hundreds of other injuries have made his brain less capable than his heart.
Listen fellow mick foley enjoyer, we never liked him because he was smart, or clever.
 
Colorado has a ballot proposition to ban mountain lion and Bob cat hunting under prop 127.

IIRC the anti hunting crowd are leftoid anti gun activists.
Does anyone actually hunt either of those things? They’re both incredibly stealthy. If you see a mountain lion it’s usually a few seconds before one or the other is dead. I would not be surprised if mountain lion killings are solely from self-defense.
 
They're seriously trying to say that the Zion Don who ran the administration with the most Orthodox Jews with it and visited the rebbes grave is a fan of Hitler? They really don't have anything to go on
He also has Jewish grandchildren because his daughter converted. Hitler was an Austrian who moved to Germany. Trump is a third generation American of German descent. Apples and oranges.
