When I was walking around Canada as a teen I had someone pass me by raising his fist, shaking it, and cheering 'rahowah!' I cheerfully responded back. It look me years later to understand he was chanting for a racial holy war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 And here, the whole slogan is a linguistic trap. What...you think it's NOT OK to be white??? Wow, you're admitting you're a racist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sociotard Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Belarusian partisans bomb a Russian AWACS plane. Later reporting shows 'destroyed' is much too strong a word. More 'dinged or damaged'. A slim possibility of "temporarily incapacitated awaiting minor repairs". https://eurasiantimes.com/deficient-in-awcas-russian-air-force-loses-a-50-plane-at-a-base/?amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the other consideration of course. They were asking black people whether it was OK to be white. At least some of them would take it in the really weird way. Which is to say "It's OK for them, the black people to be "white"." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Device Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 I've got to say, it sucks that it's likely that by the end of this year I won't be able to drive across this country without fear of arrest, just for existing. I never cared much for the republican party, but I deeply hate it's current incarnation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have mentioned this before but my team recently hired a new analyst, a girl who literally had to flee Texas for California because she's trans. Texas' loss and our gain, though I'm a little resentful that she's better at our job than I am. Joe Walsh and TrickstaPriest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 1 hour ago, Cancer said: Political polarization, and steps to diminish it, from Nature The root problem here, tho, is extremely difficult to address: the media partisanship, which isn't merely philosophical, it's become entrenched and, as the Fox election fraud story is showing, deliberately driven for profit. The article calls out "simplistic caricatures"...which is an error both sides make. But in the information overload age, it's hard to do anything else. Getting different sides to talk is at least an important part of the solution...but it's VERY hard to do on a large scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iuz the Evil Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 As the dog in question is carrying a handgun without a FSC, and doesn’t have a reduced capacity magazine, that’s two law violations in CA. Now if the dog is not the legal owner of the firearm (likely some dogs do not have recognized property rights), the firearm owner might face charges around the safe storage of the firearm depending on whether there are children around. Later this year, the presence of the firearm is likely illegal if this is a public space (due to the impending “sensitive spaces” bill). So while California doesn’t have a required carry permit, fear not. We have plenty, PLENTY, of regulation in this area to cover it.

Firearms Safety Certificate https://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/firearms/forms/hscsg.pdf You require one of these to purchase a handgun, which the dog apparently did. Unless he/she/they acquired it through a lineal intrafamilial transfer from their parent, grandparent or child or inherited it? Either of those are registered with the Department of Justice. Ammunition purchase is a separate thing. Just focusing on the dog carrying a handgun currently. I also am unsure if that is an approved firearm from the California roster approved for sale. And you cannot see if it has a threaded barrel, which is a major crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
