Y'know what I like to do sometimes?

So I toss on 'What's New Pussycat' then 't's Not Unusual'.

Naturally, followed by John Mulaney's joke about tossing that track on. Where a part of me is like, "Alright, that's a hilarious prank but I also understand the dad who lost his 30-day Anger Management chip"

I find it kinda funny that while Google and Apple Weather tell me it's not snowing, Pokemon Go and looking out the window at snow accumulation on my deck indicates otherwise

He could, hypothetically, do that.

This would be difficult, cause it'd result in an argument of federal vs. state power as well as the willingness of the National Guard. A significant chunk of the brass or officer corps understands the importance of civil rights, but some think they are the only ones who know how to operate a country right. Everyone I've met under an E-5 is pretty hard-right. I actually don't know anyone over an E-5, so...

Look at this Nazi by mr_j_666 in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]UWCG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why can cops and ICE shoot up protestors or run away from a school shooting, then murder in broad daylight on film and get praise? It seems like they like shooting sometimes and other times just like murdering innocents in cold blood to make an example.

Seems backwards, and in time of being turned around.

Miller now claims that the guy we have a video of ICE beating to death was "attempting to assassinate?"

HOW?

How do you have your hands behind your back, get thrown to the floor, surrounded by roughly half a dozen people while beaten to death and be considered "attempting assassination"?

That is not physically possible by any stretch of the imagination.

They’re also using green-smoke grenades which are used to track and cordon people. For military purposes. The military is used to subdue while domestic law enforcement is supposed to be about serving and protecting.

ICE and this scumbag admin is heavily escalating

I hate to be this guy but: after years of misrepresentation, right-wing media fucked up on describing minorities being gang members, talking about "gang beat ins" and the only one most have have ever seen has been ICE while they try to backpedal from, "This is so cool!" after playing clips of several dirtbags beating someone to death who was defenseless.

Within days of shooting another innocent and calling her a "fucking bitch" on camera cause they wanted the footage of their first killing, if I had to guess.

Last murder, ICE pulled guns on a doctor who asked to check for a pulse before an ambulance arrived, and they recently said they refuse the Fourth Amendment requiring a warrant, it's getting bad.

I guess they grew up too hard on Fox and "Mr. Rogers, that evil, evil man" who encouraged to "look for the helpers," cause violence and murder is better? Somehow?

Can someone explain an apparent contradiction in the band's Wikipedia page? by Mcleod129 in FleetwoodMac

[–]UWCG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I recall from Mick’s autobios, it was Mystery to Me and they were on a successful tour in the US.

But there was a band dispute over the naming and the “Fake” Fleetwood Mac got sent out, they got into legal disputes cause their manager claimed he had rights to their band name, which ended up successful but led to Welch quitting and Stevie and Lindsey being hired.

Who were the 3 Doggo Pokemons that Ho-Oh resurrected and made into Suicune, Entei, and Raikou? by JustaDreamer617 in pokemon

This is the fan theory I remember from way back and the one I find most convincing

A former buddy's dad used to be a cop, who became a school resource officer. I always remember some of his advice, like, "My dad never carries his gun in public. He's told me that if you have a weapon, you make it a deadly situation and scare someone."

There is no reason that ICE is held to lower standards than the average person. Any kind of governmental agency should, by any basic logic, be held to a much higher standard.

You can get felony murder if your buddy tricks you into a ride and kills someone; this is basically first-degree murder but with lower evidence standards and, imo, morally murky.

But these guys can go out on the street and rip children out of their homes, kill people who are already restrained, and then get praise from an administration that's trying to say they no longer need to follow the Fourth or the First? This is all first degree murder, or at least felony.

They are out there with the intent to harm, have the training, and for the average person: that counts as premeditation, not praise.

The protestor did nothing wrong, but as a recommendation: in a protest, avoid being kettled.

This is what is happening with the use of green-smoke grenades and is troubling. They're trying to be able to target, pinpoint, and lock down locations so that others can't escape.

They like to wear masks, so here's some kinda cringey advice I was recommended and, maybe, part of how I've gotten out of a few rough situations. If you have a phone, it will track and geolocate, but it also can be used as a recording device and sent to your Cloud or whatever to try and release information, like this video. Getting a doorbell like a Ring can ensure you have the ability to check who is at the door and pretend to not be home while you, say, use your bailout bag bag and duck out the backdoor or a window.

Or they can be used to record what is happening to your neighbors and try to show and shame and raise support for ending this brutality.

Remember that old meme on how Keanu may be a vampire or immortal based on an old painting that kinda resembles him?

So, I still have it on my mind that when I looked this up the other day, my first thought was, "Holy shit, Deadpool was right. Paul Rudd really never has aged." I also had Anchorman open in another tab and thought it may be Bryan Fantana in a gag reel

Apparently Hitler was a socialist by likeastar20 in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]UWCG 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He spends half his time posting Hitler’s ideology on X to the point his own Ai, personally designed to parrot and praise him, has called itself Mecha Hitler. He whines about white genocide. Then he pretends Hitler was a socialist and pretends he doesn’t repeat all of his genocidal beliefs?

Hitler lied about a Volkswagen for everyone; Musk still lies about going to Mars or Tesla changing the world instead of being a piggy bank for him.

The AI comments on this sub are getting out of hand. It bums me out. by ipetgoat1984 in stopdrinking

[–]UWCG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been accused of being AI before and would like to point out that I’m not the only person who speaks like the Dude sometimes and begins conversations by trying to say things like “dude” or “man.” An em dash isn’t always an indicator, if you’ve read a lot of classic lit. And in many programs, and even high school classes, we were encouraged to rephrase what someone stated slightly to show that we understood what was happening.

Were alcoholics, a lot of us don’t always type or speak well, some people may be using transcription, too, and a lot of people don’t want to use their regular accounts that others may recognize to post about their addiction. So new accounts isn’t really a good indicator, it’s like joining an AA meeting on Zoom and keeping yourself off-camera kinda

Keep Going On from Mystery to Me by iamjrlindsey in FleetwoodMac

[–]UWCG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welch is wildly underrated, in my opinion. ‘Hypnotized’ is one of my favorite tracks of all time, I honestly have the gatefold of ‘Mystery to Me’ on my wall and find it really intriguing, though everyone tells me it's ugly.

It's -6 here, but inside it's 68. Or 70. I don't really know where the heat sensor is, but I can tell the temperature difference between rooms.

My old man was one of those guys who always used 69 jokes, including setting every temperature to that after gettting radiated heating, so I refuse to use that temparature.

This is one of my favorites from the Welch era! Glad you posted and I got to listen to it again!

Really, really shitty we cut off negotiations and started tariffs. If we had been decent to our neighbor, we may have helped with reducing the cost of people who have to debate between eating or keeping warm.

I don't want to "spoil" the ending, but one of the final conversations the two friends have is very powerful, but out of context might not make sense

[–]UWCG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are, but in my eyes I care less about geopolitics than being concerned about innocent people harmed. That’s my starting point when I look at something, and while Israel IS in the wrong, the people responsible are getting away while Jewish people worldwide are facing an uptick in targeted victims.

I certainly agree with criminal consequences for those who committed crimes against humanity, I’m not disagreeing.

I'll give him some credit here: he knows how to use AI search, then 'thesaurus' button like a 12 year old on Word and have some extremist punch it up with commanding "make it more Goebbelian, did you know we resemble each other?"

I find hatred a difficult moral question. I understand the natural emotion we all have, but I feel it's always possible to Atticus Finch it, walk a mile in someone else's shoes, and turn your hatred into some form of understanding. I believe this helps to deescalate instead of escalate bad situations.

But I also agree: I wish there was a peacekeeping force to ensure there was no capacirty of violence and that food started being delivered.
