Hell I’m a man and I stayed dating a woman I should have left (because she was abusive) because I couldn’t have done without her part of the rent at the time. Shit happens ig. Got a new job and now I’m able to afford it alone, she’s gone, shit rules.

I always do the second option lol, they don’t seem to catch on.

Lay that pistol down babe, lay that pistol down.

Can someone tell this to my “faster faster” ass boss?

Heads up that stat is disingenuous. It was taken during covid (which contributed to a decline in the true cause, auto fatalities), included “children ages 0-19” (some of which are decidedly not legally children), and only took place in a few major cities (IIRC NYC, LA, CHI, BAL, and one or two more I can’t recall because it’s been 5+yr,) all cities known for their gang problems. Gangs which often ensnare kids as young as elementary school to deliver packages, but it usually starts to get more violent at ~15-18. Most of the kids shot were involved in that life, which is still a problem yes, but it’s usually spun as if 5yos are mostly dying from school shootings, which simply isn’t the case and the methodology was flawed to give that false impression. If they’d have done it with a wider sample it likely would have still been car crashes even then, and it’s certainly back by now.

No, it’s a race against my cat, can I get it on before she gets the fuck in the way? lol

I have a man,

I have pineapple,

Pineappleman?

Penpineappleappleman?

Yeah good call, idek your company, site, or industry, and I don’t need to. As someone who has to deal with the same shit from a customer perspective I can’t hate it enough.

Professional websites should all aspire to be like McMaster-Carr’s, “you know why you are here why should we bug you with bullshit, now what size roll pins did you need?” Literally one of my favorite websites of all time, no muss no fuss.

274 justifiable homicides involving a private citizen using a firearm

Ok, and how many defensive uses of a firearm occurred that year where the defender did not kill the attacker? Cases where the attacker was merely injured, or the defender missed, or the attacker ran off at the sight of the firearm? Why are those entirely omitted, does it only count as self defense if the attacker dies, not if one successfully stops the attack without a justifiable homicide?

And while we’re at it, how many justifiable homicides occurred that year with your defensive weapon of choice, The Hammer? If the metric used to determine a weapon’s viability for defense is simply justifiable homicides/yr, blind bet: it’s less than 274.

Btw

only 1.1 percent of victims of attempted or completed violent crimes used a firearm,

While around 45% of people own a gun, only 21% of people carry a gun ever, and even less carry everywhere always, and this figure doesn’t take into account whether or not the victims had a gun on them with which to defend themselves. This stat is entirely meaningless without controling for that.

and only 0.3 percent of victims of attempted or completed property crimes used a firearm.

Well that’s illegal unless you’re in Texas at night, so, unless that’s all they’re counting this makes me further question the voracity of the study. You’re telling me that 0.3 percent of people in the study successfully justifiably killed someone for something that is illegal to kill people for? That’s not how this works lol.

Thanks for posting the list this week! Completely forgot since it’s been so fucked at work lol.

Well let’s see here…

Toxic Avenger Comics #1 - Been digging the Toxic Avenger series so far actually. I hope they do a Sgt. Kabukiman eventually but that’s probably not gonna happen lol.

Archie Meets Jay And Silent Bob #1 - WAT? Uhhh I may pick this up…I guess? Wild.

Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees Rite Of Spring #1 - It’s here! If the first run was the 80s, the prequel was the 70s, and this one is the 90s, all still following everyone’s favorite serial killer, Sam. Absolutely can’t wait for this one.

I Hate Fairyland #42 - Big list for me this week, huh? Well this is the last one on it.

Tbf, a hammer is also a tool with only one use, sometimes a job needs a specific tool. “Killing” just so happens to include self defense, if you happen to need to defend yourself it helps to have the best tool for the job instead of hammering a nail with your wrench.

Seriously. “Start it a day early” My brother in Christ why does your grill need wifi? Do you get updates when the steak is ready? Can it flip your burger?!

Welp gotta buy two of these now thanks.

I read it as “by the time the USSR invaded it was already Germany’s summer home and no longer ‘Poland’ proper” which is also still just as ridiculous.

Some of them. I had a red hat when trump first dropped, and I stopped wearing it after the second guy told me he almost kicked my ass for wearing it.

It’s a red front with a white mesh back and is from a local food company, and it’s like 20yr old, yet still it was close enough I had to retire it. I’d be worried to wear one even closer to the real one here tbh, likely someone doesn’t read it and just goes off at it by mistake.

I went with Eweka as a provider, don’t remember why.

You’ll also need a program to handle the downloading. I think there’s a few but the popular one seems to be SABnzbd. I am not sure if you need that with the *arrs though, since I don’t use those, but someone who does may be able to elucidate. And finally if you’re interested in the forum-esque newsgroups (likely not) you can access those through Thunderbird.

Oh shit it’s out? I have the manga vol 1-5, pretty good!

How’s the anime (especially compared to the manga)?

Chas Smith of Surfing takes a ride in the back of a Yemeni (police?) truck to go surfing.*

But yee.

That’s just what the off brand ones call themselves to avoid lawsuits, don’t read too much into it.

Or do idc lol but that’s why.

All the brits in here don’t even understand, it’s not about the brand name you ninnys, they’re chocolate sandwich cookies.

FIX BAYONETS!
