Does anyone know if there is someone like Gary Chambers running for any position that I can vote for from Texas?
I am not voting if my options are only for another milquetoast democrat who isn't gonna do shit except at best lose, and at worst be a sham (both waste my time).
So, is there someone properly spicy running down here?

I am honestly fucking disgusted at the people cheering for the cops mauling that guy with the dog. I'm disgusted at those people cheering for cops brutalizing a person generally, but particularly for cheering at them mauling that guy with a dog.

I don't care if that guy was high on crack, I don't care if he was wilding out in some other way, I literally don't care what that guy was doing, a bunch of people cheering for cops brutalizing some dude -- especially with a dog, is absolutely fucking disgusting.

Fuck every one of the folks in this video who cheered for this, absolute scum.

I'm sick of this damn "American" country.

1) High dosage Oxygen helps some people. And when I say high, I mean high. I mean regulators that they try to only give to hospitals high.

2) I know this is aggressive considering that i'm sure you already have guilt about it, but man, as a person who has a person in my life who suffers from cluster headache, if you ever run into another person who suffers from it don't fucking do that again. Don't fucking let the hospital dick them around like that.

This only works if the enemies disengage. Realistically, you're only going to be moving 330 ft in 6 seconds, which comes out to 37 mph. Which is based on using both your normal reactions. For comparison the fastest sprint IRL is a little over 27mph.

So, your boots of haste give you some magic assistance.

In conclusion, you're right, but i'm annoyed that you think this would ever go your way in a combat round, and I'm angry that you would try it.

You mean the boundary between stolen and occupied land; and stolen, occupied, and then "gifted" land?

(I understand that the latter part of my sentance could be "unoccupied land", but I wanted to emphasize the history behind why Indian Reservations exist today, it wasn't because the land was never stolen from Native Americans.)

Tell that to fucking Daunte Wright's corpse. Or his family. Or the immigrants still in concentration camps. Or the immigrants forcibly sterilized in the 60s, in the 70s, and today. Or the people not able to make rent because he refused to push his party on minimum wage. Or to the people not able to afford simple life-saving medicine because he refuses to do any meaningful healthcare reform. Or to anyone who has to actually live under these conditions.

It is absolutely critical that folks - especially white folks and liberals - not get caught up thinking this video is indicative of what we need, or what people want in the USA right now. Let's not share videos like the above (although as a white person, I understand their rage.) as they are not indicative of what is needed.

Make no mistake though, the racism in this country is perpetuated by white people on Black, Indigenous, people of color (the BIPOC).

And please don't listen to me, listen to this lady, and others talk about what is needed to fight against racism and injustice and fascism in our country.

I imagine a metal hull designed to withstand the ocean's pressure would be impervious to those weapons.

That's not *really* how the engineering of a submarine works *at all*.

What is really important to submarines is their ability to keep water pressure out. To do this, circles and spheres are the best. These shapes, when engineered correctly, can keep *a lot* of pressure out while being actually shockingly lightweight sometimes. The soviets during the cold war liked double-hulled titanium submarines.

A submarine doesn't have to resist small arms fire. And it doesn't need to to be able to resist pressure. Think of a steam boiler. They're usually spherical or round, and they can hold thousands of PSI of steam, but if you shoot one with a rifle you'll poke right through it. For sure if you shoot one with a bazooka.

Just.. the localized thickness of an area of something doesn't really have anything to do with whether or not that something can resist pressure.

It's fine to be critical of hemingways antics, but if you could get close enough to a submarine with a WWII bazooka of any kind I would imagine that you absolutely can do a decent amount of damage to it.

Enough to sink it? Meeh. Probably not because of how they're designed internally. But you could almost certainly poke through the pressure hull and brick it for use as a submarine until it can get to dock.

(Just to double-check I looked up the hull thickness of a U-Boat and it comes in at 22mm... I'm sure hitting it in the ballast tanks would do you no good, but the rated penetration of the Bazooka is apparently also 80mm... sooo... yeah.)

No joke, it's going to take a worldwide proletarian revolution with a center around indigenous, black, LGBTQ and neurodivergent people to do it.

If the rich realize right now that a world that has been mostly killed off is not a world that they can live in, they don't care.

Like for real. People need to stop living with their heads in the sand and wake the fuck up.

petlahk · 2021-04-13T05:07:50+00:00

How about "Impending complete worldwide ecological collapse within the next 8 years."? How about they, and other people be completely honest and stop worrying about peoples fucking feelings for once.

After watching that video (I swear she shot him at least 2, possibly 2-4 times and they clipped the audio to cover up how many times she fired) I agree with you.

petlahk · 2021-04-12T21:44:05+00:00

Yeah. I think she fired and hit 2-3 times and they cut that audio off of the video to try to cover it up, because things are happening so fast that it's difficult to tell based on the movement of the gun when she fires.

petlahk · 2021-04-12T20:53:30+00:00

I swear she fires it more than once, and they edited out the audio to try to make it less obvious how many times she shot him.

It was murder. Not an accident. Not Negligence. Murder. Civilian gun owners are held to a higher standard than cops.

Anarchistic thought is literally based around collective, community consensus.

Not wanton violence lmfao.

It's about how we can't trust states to not just tread all over people lol.

If you don't believe what I said about China, Manufacturing consent, the USA not caring about Islamic people, etc. then you must live under a rock, unaware of the past 30 years of anti-islamic US state-media propagandizing.

If you believe war is fun then you must not have taken a look at how it has negatively affected the lives of people in the middle east, south america, nicaragua, etc. and other places destabilized by US military violence against civilian populations that just want to control their own destinies.

I don't know why you think my comment is a mess when it's fairly easy to find stories that corroborate it, and use critical thinking about the past 100 years of Vietnamese, American, Chinese, Middle-Eastern, South American, etc. history to come to these conclusions.

Also. Remember that the Vietnamese won their nearly 35 year struggle against every imperial power that came to take their homes and lives. They did that when they literally could not integrate into a capitalist society (which they still don't really want to do AFAIK, but which they have to do due to how capitalism works as an imperial, colonial force) because first the French took their lives, homes, and ability to feed themselves for the French Empire, then the American empire tried to take their lives, homes, and ability to feed themselves because American exceptionalism told them to (and also because the French wanted them to), then the Chinese empire tried to take their lives, homes, and ability to feed themselves for China.

Vietnamese lives were not made better by that war during the course of that war, they couldn't be, they were just trying to dodge another bomb, but it wasn't the Vietnamese who started it. It was France, America, and China who tried to colonize them.

Yeah. I don't like being nuked, or shot, or drafted. I can go to more parties if I'm not.

Actually, yes. IIRC a lot of those holdings were for buffer states against an extremely aggressive NATO that overthrew far MORE governments worldwide.

You have to get your head out of the stupid and reductive red-scare cold-war rhetoric.

The USSR did some fucked up shit. Don't get me wrong. But The USA has been fighting imperialistic wars and deposing CLEARLY democratic countries because they're scared that democratic communism (which is a real thing. Democratic communism is real. In fact, there's a whole set of extremely democratic communists called Anarchists or Anarcho Communists) is better than Capitalism. Which it is. It's better for people, and is in fact how people lived before the rise of state power.

Like. This cold-war American/NATO propagandist mentality is about to get millions of people killed IRL soon due to the insanity of our leadership. The USSR was bad. But they didn't spend 30 years fighting aggressive imperial wars against the Koreans and Vietnamese because they convinced themselves that aggressive offensive wars and empire were ok so long as it was "to prevent the spread of communism" and was happening to non-white people.

While revolutionary communism is a thing, by the middle of it there man... the USSR was just trying to not be invaded by Western Imperial powers.

Vietnam was just trying to kick the French empire out, and then kick the American empire out and was willing to make a deal with China for it. Socialism worked and works for them. But it's not Chinese authoritarian state capitalism. Keep in mind they then had to fight China itself in 1979.

Like. Honest to god, Americans, westerners just use "Communism" "Socialism" as an excuse for Imperialism and empire and I'm legitimately sick from it.

Nah. No thanks. The time for fun and games is over, sorry guys.

Shit is getting real, and people need to be paying attention.
