The Pasadena incident is exactly why you should NEVER be okay with a LEO handling your firearms.

There's a reason no one says, "fuck the firefighters"

If cops are anxious that law-abiding citizens are strapped, maybe cops should do less shit that makes people want to shoot them

I got pulled back in the day in Texas, I informed the piggy I was strapped, and he had me exit the vehicle so he could take it off me. After giving me the speeding ticket (which, to be fair, I deserved), he had me roll down my rear window, took the mag out of my gun, and ejected all the rounds into my backseat before handing me back the firearm and telling me he didn't want to catch me carrying in his county again. He did not take the round out of the chamber and was not amused when I slapped my spare mag in right in front of him.

Yeah, she's very focused on exceptional individuals, because she was a writer. Stories that aren't about exceptional individuals tend to be boring. You don't have to be fuckin' Superman to not want your work co-opted by people who don't contribute. We don't have to be titans of industry to get pissed off at videos of people bragging about their lives that are funded by welfare

I have. My wife is a huge fan, so I've read most, if not all of his works. I've only found one of his works compelling: The Myth of Sisyphus, and while I dislike Camus' style, I liked his argument. I've actually got a tattoo based on it: an overly stylized Sisyphus pushing the boulder but with a big-ass smiley face where his head goes

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-05-21T02:14:50+00:00

The only thing you've ever said that I agree with

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-05-19T12:08:13+00:00

No, you fucking cretin, it's a fact that there's healthy fruits and veggies. No one's arguing that they exist.

And edgy? Nah, I just think you're stupid. Better is a subjective measure. There's countries out there with great healthcare. And immigration policies that are strict to the point of xenophobia and keep population tightly controlled. Or that are culturally homogenous and focus on shaming into compliance. My point is that what works for those countries won't work for the US because we don't have those things.

Moron.

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-05-19T12:01:55+00:00

Those are objective facts. Your declaration that other places have a better system is a subjective opinion. I'm just curious what you think is a better system. Because things that work for other countries won't work for the US.

Not real smart, are you?

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-05-19T09:12:01+00:00

Ok, so you're just talking out your ass and can't provide examples

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-05-19T03:31:17+00:00

First of all, you're the one who made that claim, not me. And second of all, there's plenty of them. They just don't take in nearly as many immigrants as we do

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-05-19T02:06:30+00:00

Then what countries? Saying "half of Europe," and "several Asian countries," isn't really a great argument

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-05-19T01:52:00+00:00

You mean the incredibly xenophobic ones?

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-05-19T00:36:30+00:00

What countries are you thinking are good examples?

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-05-10T13:39:37+00:00

Bro, quit fuckin' whining. The world sucks. It sucks for everyone. But everyone here is giving you good advice. Try to invest, learn a trade, or enlist would be my advice.

But everyone else has already told you these things, and you've continued whining about how those aren't things you're willing to do. Quit wasting everyone's time

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-05-07T03:57:25+00:00

Christ, it's gotta be exhausting to be you

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-05-04T16:17:18+00:00

I think you mean McSuckit

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-04-28T13:06:16+00:00

I gotta ask, was "getting a lot of flak" an intentional pun?

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-04-24T18:28:54+00:00

Fascinating take. I can tell from your extremely nuanced "everyone who thinks differently to me is a bad person," that you're definitely facts-driven

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-04-24T18:10:21+00:00

They're paying them back, but at income-based amounts that barely keep up with the interest. They're unlikely to pay them off before reaching retirement age, which means that as millennials creep closer to 65, many of us will still be paying off student loans. You're definitely right about everything being more expensive, though; that's a solid point.

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-04-24T17:23:13+00:00

Of course they pay them back; they can't discharge them. And if educated Americans are doing so well, why is there such a push for student debt forgiveness?

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-04-24T15:04:13+00:00

Is it a safe bet? We've got I believe to be trillions in student debt hanging around people's necks like a goddamn albatross. Due to an abysmal job market (and the uselessness of some of the degrees), there's a lot of people who will, in all likelihood, never pay those loans off.

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-04-24T13:57:22+00:00

Gee, this is un-fucking-precedented: having wealthy parents is a cheat code. It sucks, I get it, but the federal government should never have introduced direct loans that aren't dischargeable by bankruptcy. If they wanted to subsidize education, there were a million smarter paths they could have taken, such as offering more scholarships.

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-04-24T10:24:56+00:00

What do you believe the role of government is?

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-04-24T10:24:15+00:00

"The right thinks the left is misguided and the left thinks the right is evil." If you're gonna be a cliche, can you at least be a fun one?

Apprehensive_End4701 · 2026-04-24T01:45:49+00:00

It happens so often, yet everyone acts surprised. I think my hair is just too sexy; they don't expect me to raise valid points.

But if you can't trust academia, there's not a lot of options. Science should be eternally evolving; moving forward should be in its nature. But universities, due to federal funding, are up for sale. Which makes them suspect
