There are basically a handful of reasons to OC: -Ease of access on the back country - training -posting up during a community defense event -transport of a gun w/out a case(like used gun from a store) -legal defense if you stretch& your piece is visible. Not to intimidate during an argument.

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

"why is the Army's marching so bad in this parade"

Winters told Ambrose all the problems he had with him and he wasn't there to defend himself.

I rented this cabin back in December for the WV Rennfest, which I recommend to everyone, so this is the first big protest I've missed since Feb. For those of you who went in proud of you.

The problem, of course, is that the guy claimed we had astronauts on the moon and so it's made it difficult to tease out actually meaning behind anything he says as a result. Is it plainly states? Or is he trying to say something else?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one staring at this all blearly eyed in bed.

Well it happened again; had the dream where we went to war with China, I was recalled to the Navy but was too far so went to fat camp, and then they just forgot about me as they stuck me in a holding company while I waited out the war in a MWR cottage at Fort Mason. Starting to think this is precog

I am going to be nowhere near this cluster fuck. I'm glad I planned to be away this weekend back in freaking December .

Fun(?) fact about Marx and the Antebellum South is he would get letters from revolutionary buddies in Missouri who would complain about (1)Slavery (2)The beer sucks (3) They don't let you drink on Sundays. Fremont's emancipation order was probably because of German militia officers influence.

I literally cannot believe there is Confederacy apologia, but from the "left." Yeah man, Robert E. Lee was a brave freedom fighter fighting federal tyranny so that he and his countrymen would have the freedom to keep Black men and women in perpetual slavery. Good one. You got me there.

I'd Like to See Donny Trump Wriggle His Way Around THIS Guardrail on Democracy! *Trump bowls over an institutional norm with no resistence* Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

Whenever people whine about the military being "too woke" and that's why they suffer from recruiting problems remind them that shit like this is all over social media. Seriously if you had a scrap of self respect why would you join with this sort of inside baseball reporting?

Not in DC you ain't

Bree had an absolutely outstanding spot on a NAVYCON panel, everyone should check it out on YouTube. This is pretty terrible. www.stripes.com/theaters/us/...

I legit use Ed Abbey Takes(besides the racism) when explaining politics to conservative coworkers.

Coyote just hella judging Also man the night light here is something else.

More relevant than ever

Rather Cataclysmic #flamesofwar battle(first one). The Axis side was uneven so as the only Soviet player I ended up being an Axis ringer. My heavy metal designed to fight German heavy tanks was woefully outnumbered by the Tommies on the end of the line. #wargaming #tabletopgame

He also implied that, like, some poor schlub making 40 a year with a Masters in Environmental was exactly the same as a Nazi civil servant.

Fuck yeah I just watched Dogma in a movie theater.

Hope it was worth ratting out your students www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/04/n...

A million years ago, this was a national scandal. Today, it is just an every day occurrence that we all tacitly accept.

Curious how renaming this specific ship at this specific time helps “reestablish the warrior culture” 🤔

"we're all about government efficiency" *Spends so much money and time just to hurt minorities*

In all seriousness, I do wonder if I’ve ever seen a combatant exercise as much restraint — in terms of targets and tactics — as Ukraine has in the face of so much aggression and victimization by its opponent. I say this not to cheerlead but out of genuine curiosity, as a scholar of armed conflict.

Happy Pride month to Putin.

I will stand by the fact that Tamiya JGSDF Olive Drab is one of the best Wargaming greens out there, especially for anything that's 20th century #wargaming #flamesofwar #tabletopgames
