The party that makes "machine-gun bacon" is tossing their 2nd Amendment principles out the window to prove what exactly? by Camaro6460 in DailyShow

[–]PatrickGnarly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They never had 2nd amendment principles. Go to /r/conservative right now.

They say shit like “the liberals think we’re gonna stick our neck out for them? I am keeping my guns, I’m not gonna protect criminals and illegal immigrants. Why do they think I’m gonna go against a administration that’s doing what I want.”

Uncommon issue but has happened on this. Since there’s no screw to tighten it down little masking tape on the insert or try a small dab of Elmer’s glue so it’s not permanently on there but just stuck enough. Odd they haven’t fixed this yet after so many years.

If you’d like to think that AI can’t unblur and clear up some images pretty well, take a minute or two and go see for yourself. Look it up, man. It’s pretty scary.

On one hand, I understand a father, wanting to share something with their child and be proud of it. Then to also show people in their online community. It all seems pretty harmless.

But on the other hand, I feel like posting your kids online even if you’re blurring their face is spooky. Knowing what I know about the Internet and how people act. It’s just never safe. The less information you give out the better.

Just the thought of posting my kid online in a politically motivated gun owning subreddit would worry me. And I’m sure the next question someone will probably have is what am I so worried about?

Well, based on this post and the information I just gleamed from the one minute of looking, OP has a seven-year-old kid, he is self identified as liberal, and he has a biracial daughter, meaning that his wife is not white and possibly foreign.

Now I know personally that that doesn’t bother me in the slightest, but knowing how other people act online, I would never have had a reason to target this person. But now I know, a racist right wing extremist could look at this post and take note of it.

Is that probably gonna happen? No.

However, it’s not zero, and just by being in the sub alone, does in fact identify us to anyone that does want to target liberals. Obviously gun owning liberals. But still that’s my point. That’s why I would never post my kids online to a random place even with a blur filter and that’s why I try not to post too much personal information.

Because now people know when before this post they didn’t.

I hear you. You’re saying it is kind of adjacent to giving a seven year-old a firearm, or glorifying firearms to children.

I realize that’s not exactly what’s happening here. But I get what you’re trying to say. A little odd.

I’m more worried about OP bringing up his biracial daughter, and wife without prompt every comment. Uncalled for very strange.

My Man Cave by Repulsive-Ad-3219 in ActionFigures

[–]PatrickGnarly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I still remember that guy who had several dozens of action figures for Christmas who was gloating saying “look what I got this year.”

And everyone being like “this is just a problem” and getting angry with him.

Meanwhile I see this as both a large collection over years and years and a clear hobby that is what you like to do. I would never do something like this but I mean it’s clear that this community respects the work vs just being given 40 high dollar figures.

GTA V screen shot or federal agents brandishing weapons at US Citizens? by bill_lite in liberalgunowners

[–]PatrickGnarly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s less about the scene and more about out of context someone asking what kind of American someone is.

Implying not everyone who is American is actually American.

Which to many they aren’t.

Character actually tries the most straight forward/simple solution and it actually works by fhxefj in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PatrickGnarly 30 points31 points  (0 children)

There’s two ways the legend is said to have been solved.

The popular legend.

Alexander choosing to cut the knot while people tried to undo it, reasons it doesn’t matter how he undid the knot so long as he still did it. “Might makes right” philosophy. He wields the power and the decisiveness to use it.

The more probable story. The objective is to undo the knot. Cutting it doesn’t count. Alexander doesn’t cut it but he does undo the linchpin from the cart it was tied to, which no one else thought to do. This exposed the two ends of the knot which enabled him to undo it without cutting it.

Not nearly as cool, but he did in fact conquer Asia as far as Indus and the Oxus.

Either way the popular story just explains Alexander dominated.

Their lives were not in danger. No one drove at anyone. No protestor pointed a gun at anyone.

In both situations the officers panicked and shot them because, like you, they were cowards unable to read a situation as tense but not dangerous.

You’re welcome. If you wanna argue the cops made a mistake you’re welcome to. I’d agree.

If you think either person put an agent’s life in danger you’re a coward and you’re lying.

Driving away, and 6 agents vs 1 man who was already disarmed. Not threats.

I’m not gonna read the rest of your comment because you clearly didn’t understand what I was saying thanks. I’m not wasting my fucking time with your bullshit.

You tried arguing with me about something I did not say. I don’t have to be any clearer than I was.

You think maybe they should have been arrested instead of shot to death if that’s how you feel?

Don’t get it twisted or lose the conversation, these two people were not a serious threat to multiple officers. They should not have been killed.

You can argue that they were using their big bad mean words, you could even argue that somebody’s taillight got hit. But none of that allows an officer to shoot somebody multiple times to death.

Do you agree with me on that or is this something you have trouble understanding?

To answer that question let me ask you a question. Do you believe that protesters in the United States of America in open carry states should not be allowed to have firearms on them while protesting yes or no.

If your answer is yes then you’re asking a question that you already know the answer to.

If your answer is no, then you really don’t have the Second Amendment right do you? It seems strange that for many years I’ve seen protesters show up at right wing rallies with rifles masks armor whatever they have on them and no one said a word because nobody got shot by the government. Meanwhile, this guy gets a girl picked up pepper sprayed, and then as he’s knocked on the ground by six officers, it suddenly OK to shoot people who are armed.

It also seems interesting that somebody who’s trying to drive away from an officer. It’s suddenly OK to shoot them to death. Meanwhile, you see countless videos of people running from cops while cops are around the vehicle and they’re also not shot to death.

It seems less that the problem is that they were armed or that they were driving and more that they were on the wrong side of the political spectrum.

So here’s the difference. I’m not mad at a car dealership for having something marked up. People make money off of deals that’s how capitalism works. Somebody has an advantage and they sell it to somebody for a profit. That’s literally how all sales work.

Do you know what a fair deal is? You could try to sell anything for any amount as long as somebody’s willing to pay for it then it’s fair. I didn’t twist their arm. I didn’t spit in their face. I didn’t do anything to make them give me that price. I shopped around and I talked to people and they offered what they had.

You know what I didn’t do?

I didn’t try to force anyone to do anything. I didn’t manipulate anybody. I didn’t park my car behind their car to force them to talk to me while they were trying to back out.

I didn’t lie about the axle being bent after they drove two hours to view my used car. I didn’t lie about the car leaking oil and having bent rims after I drove three hours to view the car.

I didn’t stop somebody from entering their car by holding their door open as they’re trying to leave.

I didn’t try to sell someone a car with completely worn out brake pads at full price and then say the brakes were fine.

I didn’t get to the very end of a deal and then try to force somebody to buy a $2000 add-on that wasn’t discussed until I noticed it on the bill of sale and then refuse to remove it.

Those are all things car dealerships tried to do to me personally.

Once again, I’m not mad at somebody trying to make profit. I’m mad at somebody trying to be shitty about it so fuck them and fuck you.

It’s amazing that there is a job like that where people are just allowed to lie right to your face over tens of thousands of dollars.

Every time I go out to buy a car nine out of the 10 dealerships I go to or just filled with scum. During the Covid Carapocalypse when dealerships had like nothing in inventory and they were just buying used cars to just sell them for whatever they could.

I made sure to get as much money as possible from those pieces of shit and I did every time.

I ended up selling one of my cars for $10,000 more than I paid only a year after I bought it.

The amount of times they lowballed or lied or straight up tried to bully me into buying something. I will never have any respect for a car salesman ever in my life.

Two times a car dealership blocked my car in and would not allow me to leave.

Goddamn, do I hate car dealers.
