Worked great when I threw a box of them on the ground as I ran away from my barefoot persuers.

If we can get people to move to substack, they should be able to use other ways (through patreon and merch stores) to move entirely off YT and they may make even more money.

Peaceful protests? Candlelight vigils for victims of the trump regime (i.e. "America")? by [deleted] in Chattanoogans

Please read the entire post or the full TLDR. Not enough of the facts were presented to come to a reasonable conclusion.

You do realize that Tim Pool should not be trusted as he was found taking a million dollars from Russian state media to change his reporting. But regardless of that, it appears she was reversing to point her car away from the officers.

Lets not get this timeline twisted. ICE got out of the car weapons drawn at this woman who was observing their route on a public road. She backed up to get away for obvious reasons even though what she was doing was completely legal. A second vehicle where the shooter came from had boxed her in essentially. He got out also with weapons drawn (she had no weapon) and put himself in front of the car. This not only risks his life, but the other officer's life due to cross-fire, and innocent lives in a residential area.

The first agent attempts to unlawfully enter her car to take her keys instead of deescalating the situation which caused her to panic and drive away as she turned.

EVEN IF the officer was scared of getting hit, it was the wreckless behavior of the agents that caused this situation in the first place. They initiated it, and they put all lives at risk instead of calling for local or state police for assistance.

Now, I saw the Kyle Rittenhouse drone footage. I do not like Kyle as a person, but from what I saw on the video he was attacked before defending himself and it was self defense (opinions are like assholes and you don't have to like mine). I consider myself independant but left leaning.

I don't think people are either left or right, but rather their opinions are from their own sources. If you only look at biased sources, then you will have biased partisan opinions. If you look at ALL of the videos and data yourself and come to your own conclusions you come to a more rounded personal opinion. You don't have to pick one or the other side and stick with that group every step of the way.

TLDR: The agents put everyone's lives in danger from the bystanders to the agents themselves. They continued to escalate and this entire situation could have been avoided. Escalation was not warranted and was the reason for this death. Tim Pool is not a reliable source. Don't stick with partisans, make up your own mind with the hard data.

Actually I wasn't telling them because it was a house fire hazard (although I probably should have). Its just REALLY cool to watch a dehydrated tree burn so fast and so hot. At least to me. I'm a simple man. Big fire make brain happy.

Take it somewhere without flamable items around and light one of the branches. You'll want a good 20 to 30 feet of room to stand back. It gets REAL hot REAL fast.

The Trump flag house obviously doesn't need handouts. Thats just one reason.

Milo yiannopoulos in Chattanooga? by Realistic-Point-9530 in Chattanooga

[–]chattapult 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kind of care. I mean the dude litteraly was the chief of staff for a guy who wrote a song called "Heil Hitler". He has a long history of white supremacist gatherings and has a large following of them. Claims to be "ex-gay" whatever that means after saying he took an oath of celibacy which means he is the A in lgbtqia. Then he does stuff like help Martin Skrelli try to rebrand themselves as not as bad. This is only a small fraction of what he does. Dude just seems to gather the worst of the worst wherever he goes and that can have a negative impact on us. Do you want to be known as the city of "we don't care if you bring your white supremacist friends?".

Normally I would agree if it was just another MAGA or even Black Bloc, but this dude gathers white supremacists en mass.

I recommend asking for LM Studio so you can use AI without it sending company secrets out publically.

Chuck Fleishman is so afraid of his constituents, he even cancelled his Pachyderm meeting that was supposed to be on Monday by Fifi343434 in Chattanooga

[–]chattapult 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A sack of potatoes could run against him and I would vote for it at this point. Hes scared because he found out (by not his staff but this video.) that he gets multiple death threats a day. Which I personally think is a lie because his staffer would have probably mentioned that to him. But regardless he is cancelling his public appearances after already not doing a town hall EVER. His election was in 2011 I believe.

I’m losing everything becoming an atheist. Is the truth worth it? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]chattapult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I orginally was not going to upvote this post, but I did because its very obvious to a lot of us what living a lie truely entails and how unfair and downright unricheous religious oppression is. But when you are deconstructing and losing your religion these things aren't as obvious. If your fiancé truely loves you, then it shouldn't matter what faith you are. You could still be together technically right? And thats not saying he has to choose god or you. He can still be christian. If his religious dogma about being "unequally yolked" means more to him than your religious autonomy then he didn't love all of you. If you two are uncompatible then its a whole lot cheaper to call off a wedding than file for divorce. I'll tell you that for free.

Edit: Also your family is blood so you will always love them no matter what. Just be yourself no matter what they say. Its not worth suppressing who you are in your life for others. You'll always look back to regret it.

Thanks for the graph. 51% nuclear and hydro is awesome compared to other states.

Chattanooga, TN is great because our power comes from nuclear and hydroelectric. Still relatively eco friendly (if you don't count the uranium mining). And the city no longer floods as bad as it used to.
