But a Marine in bargain-bin decade-old hardware will absolutely walk straight up the barrel of a “less-lethal” loaded rifle and physically manhandle the cop in luxury fascist tech who thinks <40 hours of range time means they’re ready for combat.

You’re letting your fantasies escape through your skull holes, comrade. The military is going to point their guns, just as the cops next to them will be, at the people protesting the kidnapping of their neighbors by the gestapo.

No, all of ya’ll are crazy. The dot of dirt on the window was the aiming device for a laser, and you had to use it to cut all the electrical wires without cutting trees or the poles, because those are wood and it would start a fire.

I came in here thinking that they were finally going to cut costs to the bone by getting rid of employees. Make the customer pay if items aren’t restocked to perfection, and no more annoying employees who are being forced to ask if you need help. Sort of like those amazon stores that you ‘pay’ first with your credit card to enter the store and it tracks what you take.

Pure, sweet business profits, eh? Eeeh? I bet we could convince an mba to make that pitch, and could bankrupt a few stores before they realize the idiocy.

I wish people would remember that the real crux was lincoln’s assassination. Everything since has been downhill, for america at least. Can you imagine if the traitors had actually been hanged? No jim crow laws? No fucking bullshit…

I would bet that a great many heads of ‘large companies’ would be targeted in the first purge. There’s no way that there isn’t some disgruntled employee or even an ex-employee that wouldn’t be willing to take a swing at the big guy before poverty comes in for the kill.

Anyway, I doubt most people would get violent. Most people aren’t just held back by laws, but morality

I’ll be honest here, mate, I think we’ve seen that a very large portion of the population would be more than happy to get violent. It’s mostly the ones who scream about laws needing to enforce morality on ‘the heathens.’

Look, based on the rest of the responses to this post, I’m not alone in seeing it.

The yellow hands spread the blue buttcheeks, revealing the white crack within.

Meanwhile, the pie waits, its true purpose not realized until the crack opens further…

I was seeing the same joke on the first reading, so I think you’re in the clear, mate.

Sniff*, eh? I think the snuff vids would have the heads underneath as heavy weights were placed on top…

they slightly increase it to keep the average around 100

They don’t “slightly increase it to keep the average around 100.” The average is defined as 100. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_score https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_classification

The hush puppies, yes, absolutely. I don’t know many places that have the little fritters available by the tubload though. They’re what potato chips dream of being.

One of our captain ds is now a ‘make your own’ burger joint that ALSO, strangely enough, never seems to be busy but stays in business. There must be some sort of curse lingering in the very asbestos of the ceilings.

The only other one is the last of its kind in at least a 50 mile radius.

It’s the cracklins. Little crispy fried pieces of dough? Who doesn’t want those? Just ignore the offerings of frozen fish patties and go for the craving food.

My partner randomly had a craving for it, and for the life of me I cannot understand why. We had to drive way the heck out of our way to go get some, and it was the most hilarious experience to observe from the car. Two new friends, four fish fillets, and apparently some very odd looks as the offered drugs were rebuffed, my partner comes back in and off we go, leaving the strange place tucked in the corner of two apartment complexes behind.

;) I’m aware. I would just find it hilarious to start the next gwyneth paltrow like craze of yeasting your armpits for your ‘health.’

Who mixes yeast with whipped cream? That’s heresy! Fruit juice, strange grains, and rotting potatoes I’ll accept, but fermenting milk is the work of the devil.

Also: I’ve also never heard of a yeast infection of the armpit, so you’ve got some safe targets.

Pffft, Dnd had the ‘first diagonal 5, second diagonal 10’ rule. It worked well enough, aye?

Because the man was legally in possession of them at the time. It’s the same reason that you have to go through a tedious process to have your car reported stolen if you let someone borrow it and don’t bring it back.

Bingo. She’s won three terms, so six years of being a rep, which means she gets the retirement and healthcare (the federal option, which she would pay the premiums for, in fairness) for life. The formula calculates out somewhere between $17-20k once she turns 62 in another nine years. Not a lot, but a very decent chunk to add to everything else.

Add in everything from the typical republican grifts and why would she bother anymore?
