Please, I beg of you: never study engineering. Only someone who knows nothing about the physics of how structures work could write posts as beautiful as yours.
if you ask real nice Ill tell you how I solved the three body problem and I might slip in my perpetual motion thoughts as a kicker
 
If I bungled something as hard as he bungled the East Palestine disaster, I like to think I'd have the good sense to kill myself, or at least retire from public life entirely.
I m willing to give him slack because biden wasnt running the show, Who the fuck was in charge if he tried to assert himself it woulda back fired.

The supply chain crisis is worse, he went off for materinity leave when he could gone to CA and allowed some rule changes to empty the ports
 
why in the hell does he have the flashlight directly in front of the red dot sight he's mounted? is he stupid?
Assuming he has his red dots at the right height, his red dots will be looking through or over his front sight post. It's called cowitnessing his optic with his iron sights. The flashlight seems to be mounted lower than this front sight, so it'll be useable, though I think he'll have some lower portion of his red dot window obstructed.

TLDR: Looks kind of funny, and I wouldn't build my rifle that way, but it's not necessarily unusable.
 
Is capturing the "Gooner demographic" really that critical in major elections?
Pro-porn people are very loud online. The noise they make can probably shape consensus.
When they say, "porn is free speech", I either think of Roblox fags exposing kids to porn or those fags that have terabytes of nigger dick pictures they spam all over the Internet.
 
Framed properly, with utter contempt and shame for coomers, porn bans are a guaranteed win.

Honestly though I think the better tactic is to simply ban anyone under 18 from the internet entirely. Faggot kids can't vote, so who cares if they're mad. Meanwhile literally all parents hate social media and phones but feel social pressure to let their kids have them and access to the net, keep kids safe from porn, groomers, rampant social anxiety, and you protect the Internet as a place for free expression as well.

How can you differentiate a user under 18 entirely all around the net? I suppose it'll have to be some facial scan to approve to just get past ISP level, with your entire background check and everything scanned and approved if over 18 constantly and tracked.

I can take 'need your papers' a bit when it comes to be an illegal alien in this country. But needing your papers across the net is what you're asking for. Josh will have you and your full SS and name tracked to some ID like a 256 bit key "Zsw2y'20Hj*zH.U.F6w*" that'll go back to you and be registered. You know that's the end game right?

I don't know. Make it illegal for a kid to own a smart phone. If they're out in public with them they're confiscated and parents are fined. Aggressively police and report when minors are exposed as being minors online. Inverse pedo hunters. Giga fine social media companies that knowingly let minors post or join.
 
...but if you're deep in 9/11 lore, you'd know a surprisingly chunk of the fire department was too busy looting the Gap and other stores in the mall below the towers, to actually get their sh!t together & save office workers. Atlantic journalist William Langewiesche got raked over the coals/blacklisted after he wrote about said unfortunate fact in a book.
I never heard about this, fascinating. I have long suspected firefighting might attract people who want to be seen as heroes more than actually be them.

The only problem I have with this is that minors definitely need a way to electronically communicate in general (Specific context: I just think kids at large not being able to call home independently is fucked up. Consider a more ideal scenario where kids are back to being comfortable generally running around town on their own, it would be ideal for kids to have easy access to calling back home to their parents, and parents calling them, right?), but definitely not full Smartphones.

A proper legal delineation between old-type exclusively-phones (E.G. archetypal flipphones) and modern smartphones would be ideal for this kind of setup.

EDIT: typo, clarifications.

Agrees, just give kids "dumb phones" with basic phone calls, SMS and a GPS on it. Hell, make them government issued so literally all kids have them.
 
I don’t know how I feel about republicans wanting to go so hard on porn I feel that it’s a strategic misstep to go this hard this fast
It's a Republican politician's favorite type of issue: some salacious moral crusade they can grift and campaign on while they continue selling the country out to every corporate interest and foreign government.
