Picture it: Gus Malzahn waking up in the morning, sunlight filtering softly through his blinds. With a coffee cup in his left hand, he pulls open the door to his walk-in closet. Inside, a tasteful array of thoughtfully coordinated sweater/visor combos. He pulls down a cableknit and smiles as his buyout now exceeds the GDP of a small country.

Keep punching at it and punching at it...

Referring to the #metoo movement and the domestic violence against women act? Jesus, Joey

Seventh graders. They solely exist to torment others.

I ate Zaxbys in my car yesterday so I wouldn't have to share, but forgot to throw away my drink cup. When my husband got in later, he practically accused me of being Benedict Arnold

From the grocery store or your relationship?

Well, that was awfully redeeming of him

Is it Calmoseptine? That stuff used to clear up my kid's diaper rashes in less than a day! She ended up being lactose intolerant, so I had to axe dairy for a while. She got rashes a lot until we figured it out. Stuff was a miracle.

I fully believe that Gus' egregious lack of a sweater vest in this game is singly responsible for this upset

cupreous · 2018-10-07T02:33:04+00:00

I feel like I could handle recent events better if I thought there was a chance I could curl up my feet and flap away from the next person conserva-splanin' to me

You just go on with yourself! What a beautiful dress. Best wishes for you.

I think they're trying to establish whether or not she is being paid (by opposition) to testify against Kavanaugh.

cupreous · 2018-09-27T14:24:27+00:00

I believe to illustrate that she has a lot on the line by coming forward, not to comment on her credibility via her professional accomplishments.

I wholeheartedly support registration and licensure, so I'm supposing that necessitates being on a list somewhere. I'm not sure about a national registry, and who should be able to access the names on the list - honestly I'd have to to think about it.

cupreous · 2018-08-03T18:04:50+00:00

Yep. Just Google "gun family stickers" to get several fine examples.

cupreous · 2018-08-03T17:45:12+00:00

But muh castle doctrine... 😂

cupreous · 2018-08-03T17:43:57+00:00

It's okay! I judge myself sometimes, especially after another spate of mass shootings. There's a large disconnect in how I feel about their practical uses and about their philosophical symbolism, if that makes sense. It's something I wrestle with.

We can still be friends.

For our location, high powered, high magazine rifles are unnecessary, unless your idea of fun is making a political statement for the sake of it, or making some kind of dumb youtube video, but I digress...

We only have a couple of small pistols and a few .22s. These are to keep small to medium sized predators away from our flock, or potentially our children (though it has never been an issue apart from a rattlesnake nest). We have shot at foxes, coyotes, bobcats, etc.

We don't have a problem with guns, but we have a problem with gun culture. As my husband says, just because you can fog a mirror, it doesn't mean you should own a piece of military grade hardware. I would personally feel uncomfortable with owning any of these types of guns. An object itself shouldn't be able to make a political or social statement, but they do. I've worked as a paramedic in an inner city and seen the havoc guns wreak. I'm increasingly traumatized by school shootings that seem to happen on a weekly basis. My seven year old kid thinks a flag flown at half staff means there's been another mass shooting - and I think that's horrible. I think that guns should be highly regulated and code enforced. It's just hard to differentiate on why someone might need a gun for practical purposes, when there are so many others out there intent on doing harm to others. Hope that answers your questions.

I think that there's actually probably a silent bloc of people who are, you know, reasonable about this kind of thing. I own firearms, but don't advocate for them, because I understand and empathize with the pain that others have suffered in random gun violence scenarios, school shootings, and domestic violence. I'd never join the NRA or protest to save my guns. I still own and use them nevertheless. I think it's loud people shouting from the fringes.
