My family revitalizes abandoned homes, maintains them, and rents them fairly. I'm very proud of our work.
We also play games of all descriptions, especially on a table.
I like math and science most, but am interested in everything.

This is hilarious because the existence of Gen X is always being forgotten. Also because it's wrong. But maybe that's the joke? So hard to tell.

I mean, technically, it's any country that didn't pick sides in the cold war. Like Switzerland, Finland, and India.

Yeah, it feels like a step backwards, right? I wonder who decided to have everyone revert simultaneously.

Italian flags everywhere all the time. No one says a word.

I don't want to rain in your parade too much, but 4x4 connect 4 is a completely solved game that the 1st player can always win. Still great for kids on a playground though!

This, yes. I'm far from being a "the law is the law so you follow it" guy, but when those laws are clearly good with important reasons like "law enforcement must prove their identity because otherwise criminals will impersonate law enforcement" then you follow that law.

But you have much greater control over what you eat than what you breathe, so if they can convince you it's in the food then they can make you believe that illness is the fault of the ill, and not the destroyers of our shared environment. Even this stupidity is calculated.

Is that what they mean when they say "third world"? It's code for "Africans and most Asians"? Racism disguised as economics? It's a stupid, hateful phrase anyway, but they went and made it worse.

Another point in favor of my rural/urban intra-national exchange program.

The night before I enter into a stressful, dangerous situation I actually prefer to sleep on a concrete floor with my boots on. It's the best way to keep myself sharp and centered so I can make all the best split-second decisions%

Doesn't use enough fossil fuels AND gives The People inexpensive mobility.

Law doesn't matter anymore, only power. We are a failed state.

You know how you "get the situation under control"? Remove the president and end the xenophobic, nationalist, fascist nonsense.

Sure, but how do we do that and protect the people they're targeting?

And these maladjusted children probably weren't even alive for the '92 riots. The culture of violent stupidity has been passed down through a generation.

For anyone curious, the weird Star Wars letters at the bottom say "FDT." I'll let you figure out what that means on your own.

Those guys got away with it too, they didn't even need a fascist president to walk.

Looks like LAPD has learned nothing in the last 33 years. Still nothing but toddlers with guns.

ABC7 is repeatedly broadcasting "outside agitator" propaganda (originating from conservative Deep South propaganda) to try to distinguish "good" from "bad" protestors.
Everything that happened today was a response to police repression, that is all that needs to be stated.

"Strike" vs "Refuse an illegal order"

Genuine question: how does that work with, like, undercover FBI and things like that?
