Like the one thing Michael Parenti and Murray Bookchin could agree on was how much of a sellout Bernie was.

Attendants will be passing out glitter poppers and mimosas shortly.

Yeah you’d have a pocket protector, a plastic or leather pouch holding your pen/s so they wouldn’t leak on your shirt or your compass would catch. Keeps them from falling out if you bend over. Usually have a compass, pen, pencil, ruler etc depending on your job.

My parents/older family members/friends and teachers had them before everything was computers and phones.

Turns out I am a switch after all. So I can describe myself as “non binary, bisexual, versatile, switch, never made a decision in my life”

And we’ve used it for years for other words with the trans prefix, see Cisalpine versus transalipine gauls in roman history.

More of a statement less of a question but we’re all thinking about you friend.

The Lebanese military is pretty small and technologically outdated. The most charitable assessment is they are not capable of conventionally fighting Israel and would want to be able to maintain peace after any fighting stops, because they’ve had to deal with opportunistic groups like ISIS in the past etc. The realpolitik is that Lebanon is a multi-faith and politically fragmented country, a bunch of Christian generals would rather Hezbollah and Israel fight it out weakening each other.

A grenade launcher is an NFA item, if you pay enough money, file enough paperwork and wait long enough you can legally own one (unless the state has laws against it, which some do). I think from memory if you want to fire explosive ammunition (rather than flares or buckshot) those also need NFA paperwork and time.

I remember on r/guns some people would show off their “4-stamp” guns meaning it had a silencer, short barrel, select fire switch and grenade launcher, all 4 things aside from their costs, requiring a 250 dollar tax stamp each and months of waiting. Basically showing off how rich they were because of the tens of thousands of dollars involved.

Or you buy one on the black market that was stolen from a military base in the USA or Mexico I guess.

Summoning the ghost of zara to get you. Jk.

A mattress on the floor is not the same as a Japanese futon, which is cool and fine. The futon can be cleaned and gets packed up regularly.

The mattress on the floor gathers dust, gets moldy and is bad for your back.

I remember the matress on floor struggle session Zara created in the old megathread on reddit.

And no one can forgot @gayhobbes@hexbear.net

Engels was quite brilliant in his own analysis and writing by himself. It’s why Marx sought him out. It’s just Marx was well Marx. It’s a big intellectual shadow to be under. Like Lenin and Stalin from a theory perspective, Stalin is good at writing and explaining complicated topics but Lenin is Lenin.

And Marx and Engels were pretty much in complete agreement, I forgot the line but there’s one letter from Marx which is like unless specified assume Engels and I both think this in all my writing. And a lot of Marx’s writing surviving is because of Engel, he pretty much wrote Capital Vol 2 and Vol 3 from Marx’s notes (Brandon Sanderson style) and published a few other books of Marx’s before and after his death.

Oh yeah Obama’s bed was definitely part of it. The story went something like the Hotel hadn’t cleaned the room since Obama stayed there (for ?nefarious purposes) and Trump watched two underage girls piss on the spot etc. Or something like that. And Trump was using that as “kompromat”

The script extender so you can get the mod that stops you automatically reloading your gun when it’s empty and keeps guns unloaded if you swap between them. This way you can fire your lever gun until you hear clicks and then draw your single action revolver and fire that until you hear clicks and then draw your shotgun or knife.

I’m itching for another edition of the clipping report

My understanding is that the original accusation was water-sports with underage girls.

But libs being salacious gossips focused on the benign part, and not the criminal and immoral part which is a bipartisan hobby of many US presidents.

Ben: There’s another place we talk about Poles, it’s…uh…the Poll Report. (Polish national anthem plays)

Ben: Leaving Hilter out of a cage? Surely that’s a mistake. We talk about mistakes in Pobody’s Nerfect (Theme plays)

On thing I didn’t really like in the jump from the old Fallouts (1,2, heck even Tactics) to the New (Fallout 3 and onwards) was that Stim packs basically became magic potions but as an injection. Like sure that’s their meta function in the original (just like a vault is like a dungeon, a super mutant like an orc etc). But the idea was it was basically just an adrenaline type thing to heal your hit points (a nebulous stand in for pain, stamina, etc) until the fight was over. Real injuries needed a first aid kit, doctors bag or seeing a doctor/autodoc etc. If you had too many super-stimpacks you could die when they wore off etc.

I think they have at certain high risk spots but the whole structure would need safety netting if you look at the pictures of it.

I don’t think they want to lose, as much as they only want to win one way, through a centrist/neoliberal consensus without a single concession to left/social democracy/populism etc, and if they lose the voters failed them, not the other way around.
