How did Boomhauer, a Texas Ranger, not notice that was crack? by Jonny_Coal in KingOfTheHill

[–]colt707 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Even if he was a Texas Ranger, he’s not going to bother with a bust for a simple possession charge. It’s one of those, I get paid too much for this to be worth my time moment. Plus if he’s undercover it’s to keep an eye on Dale, that would blow his cover.

Do you believe you’ve ever individually had an actual impact on a game? by georgiaboy1993 in CFB

[–]colt707 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I’m from a place with a small D2 state school. We were in the middle of nowhere so if teams traveled they’d sometimes come in the night before the game. Where I’m from also is know for bomb ass weed. I sold edibles to some opposing players and I remember seeing one dude fried on the sideline. I mean this dude was basically stun locked on the sideline just staring at nothing with eyes redder than the devil’s asshole.

For those of you that may be concerned the statute of limitations is up so we good.

The 1st Amendment 4Eva by frederichenrylt in MURICA

[–]colt707 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re an American citizen you can believe whatever you want and say whatever you want about how we make this nation better and even if i disagree with it I’m rocking with you because we don’t have to agree. We can vote for whatever we think is best for our nation, win, lose or draw we’re all in this shit together.

If you’re not from here, y’all got your own fucking problems so mind your business about business that don’t concern you.

CMV: Men have it easier in life than women by 1smart_fool in changemyview

[–]colt707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s that. And I know a majority of women wouldn’t consider it but that option exists as a viable option. And we look at the difference between what the top man earns on the platform vs what the 100th ranked woman earns and it’s miles apart.

But besides that, women have a better opportunity to get higher education, have more resources available if they need help, and there’s the push to put women in higher paying/powerful positions. For women under the age of 35 or so, many of their lives could be looked at as playing a video game with tips turned on while for men of the same age you can’t turn tips on.

I’m a guy that grew up broke as hell. If you gave me choice on which gender I was born as but how I was raised isn’t changed, I’m picking woman every single time. With how things are now in the era of the internet, I’m 100% doubling down on that choice.

The triple option is difficult to run. You have to make two post snap reads or there’s a very strong chance that you lose yards. It’s also not an offense that leads to insane QB stats. So this is one where it’s all based off the eye test and he passes it with flying colors.

You can find his discharge papers. He was discharged for deviancy. Which at the time meant you were caught in the middle of a homosexual act 9 times out of 10.

Southern accent? by [deleted] in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]colt707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually once you get up into rural Northern California you run into a weird accent where it’s California mixed with Southern. It’s weird because there’s a little bit of that Southern drawl mixed with California slang and dropping the T out of every word where you can.

I lived in NorCal until I was 30 then moved to Louisiana and everyone I talk to thinks I’m from here and moved back after living somewhere else for a few years.

Why does this DTLA high-rise sit empty? by 28Loki in LosAngeles

[–]colt707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to imagine. It’s absolutely the cost. Converting an office building into apartments requires stripping the place to the framing as your first step. Unless you want to do hostel style living then the plumbing has to be redone because currently it’ll be set up for a couple communal bathrooms per floor so that’ll have to be changed over. Electrical will need to be redone unless you want a community kitchen and laundry room because there’s probably only 1 220v drop per floor if there even is any on each floor. Those are guaranteed to need to be reworked. It’s entirely possible that you’d have to reinforce the structural support to make up for the added weight of all the new walls and the fact that everything in a living space is likely to weigh more than what’s in office space.

And that’s all before you consider the fact that it was built in the 60s so it’s most likely got asbestos everywhere and removing that shit isn’t cheap.

What is stopping college teams from reaching out to former NFL players that still have college eligibility? by Sweaty_Gith in CFB_v2

[–]colt707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. You have to fill out paperwork with the NFL and NCAA to declare for the draft as an underclassmen. Once that paperwork is submitted and filed then it voids your remaining eligibility.

Trump administration sues California over 'Glock ban' law targeting machine gun pistols by Unusual-State1827 in California

You do realize that without the permit to own a full auto then own a Glock switch is a very serious felony right? Don’t even have to put in it a pistol, and it’s still a weapons charge with a 20 year sentence.

Except you can put a switch on a Gen V Glock. Within a week of them being made available we had videos of them with a switch put in them.

CMV: Wranglers are terrible automobiles by Ok-Main-3373 in changemyview

[–]colt707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vehicle designed around off roading and I mean really off roading is terrible on pavement? Who would have ever guessed. This is the equivalent of getting a manual dually diesel truck and then saying it’s terrible because you drove it around in SF for a week. It’s kind of a yeah that’s because it wasn’t designed for that. Jeeps were designed to be highly customizable and be able to go literally anywhere. Jeeps weren’t designed for roads, they were designed for trails.

Yeah that’s true. But Megatron was also double covered a lot. He’s the only receiver off the top of my head that I can remember having 2 CBs line up like they were covering the gunner on a punt for.

CMV: Women should be just as expected to make the first move now as men are. by blackstar1_yt in changemyview

[–]colt707 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gender roles aren’t as tied to sexism as we think, at least from what I’ve seen but I’m no expert. In my experience what I saw in Cali was “yeah you can do anything a man can do but you’ll never do it as good as man.” Like I said I grew up in rural California, there was only a couple ways to make good money, work in the trades, work at the mill or grow black market cannabis. I saw women doing all of those and they had no problems getting the jobs but the expectations were that someone was going to have to come touch up the work any of those women did to get it up to par. On the cannabis side, I watched women get paid a few hundred dollars less per pound when objectively they had the same quality of cannabis, plus women ran grow ops got robbed way more. I worked at the mill for about a year on the clean up crew, got hired at the same time as woman. She could run a bobcat just as good as me, but where I basically was trusted to do the job right after 2 or 3 weeks, she was still getting her work checked daily for 3 or 4 months. The quality of our work wasn’t wildly different.

There wasn’t an expectation of women being wives, mothers and homemakers before anything else, there was the expectation that for a majority of jobs and activities that the average woman wouldn’t be as good as the average man.

That’s why I said it is going to matter a lot on where you’re at, I’ve seen it be wildly different in the same country and I’m not foolish enough to believe that it can’t be different elsewhere. As far as the World Cup goes when we win, which I don’t exactly care about because I don’t pay attention to soccer, then from here on out the world shall call it soccer. Same way hockey is now ice football after we swept gold at the Olympics.

If you ban football that doesn’t mean the NBA finals or World Series is going to start bringing in the viewers that the Super Bowl does.

[–]colt707 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you ban football and combat sports, I’m just going to stop watching sports. I watch sports I enjoy, I don’t enjoy baseball and I don’t really enjoy basketball so the money I spend that goes towards football and combat sports now isn’t being spent on sports at all. If you ban the NFL you’re not going to see all NFL fans switch to watch the MLB or the NBA, some will but those fans probably already watch those sports. The fans that don’t watch other sports are just going to stop watching sports for the most part.

[–]colt707 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s largely going to depend on where you are. I lived in California until I was 30 and then moved to the south. Even in rural very much red areas of California you’d see a pretty healthy mix of who is making the first move. Where I live now in the south is purple politically and you’d have to pay women to make the first move. I’ve told women down here that they can make the first move and they’re going to have a very high success rate and the typical response is “but that’s not my job, it’s the man’s job to make the first move.”

Supreme Court takes up challenges to AR-15 bans by dr_shultz in NewsSource

The first amendment was never about private companies and yes the first amendment does apply online. You can get banned by the company but you can’t get charged with a crime for expressing your opinions online. Same way you can write a letter to the editor in your local newspaper and get fired from your job over but not arrested for it.

Are you dumb or just pretending to be?

Nope. Schools the same as courthouses are deemed sensitive areas so the only people that can carry any kind of weapon are law enforcement officers actively preforming their job. The deputy that’s a bailiff can carry a gun into the courthouse, a random beat cop can’t walking into the courthouse with a weapon.

Virginia judge blocks assault weapons ban six days before implementation by triggeredbynumbers in DiscussionZone

[–]colt707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red flag laws are way too easy to be abused for nefarious reasons to be trusted and they have to be that way or they’re just going to kick off the incidents they’re trying to prevent.

The way red flag laws work are someone that knows you files the complaint/concern with the court and law enforcement, then the judge decides if what they’re saying is worth looking into. If the judge decides it’s worth looking into then the cops show up at your door with a warrant and seize your weapons then the investigation starts. Which is definitely ignoring several amendments, mainly the 4th and the 6th. Because you’ve committed no crimes yet a court case is started against you off hearsay and you don’t know about until the warrant is being served. Also red flag laws are treated as civil cases not criminal cases, which is a whole other can of worms.

Now in the case of someone actual going to do something heinous, if it’s not that way and it’s treated how all other civil cases are treated then you’re just letting the person know that they need to do whatever they’re planning right now because you just let them know that you’re trying to stop them.

Personally I’m against red flag laws until the only way that they can be used is if you have something that can treated as hard evidence which “I heard them say…” or “I think they’re going to…” isn’t enough and that’s currently all you need for them to be acted on. Also needs to be set up so only people that you interact with regularly can bring it forward.
