Area 51 gun game at the bowling alley in my grandparents small town. During regular life our home consoles were the star (didn’t have to beg adults for spare change) but when we were stuck at that smoky bowling alley waiting got the adults to get tired that was the best time waster.

Libs don’t crave that message. They believe violence is wrong no matter what and that being a victim is synonymous with being a hero. Dying to protect your family wipes away all sins in the liberal mind. Libs want to preach civility when someone acts rationally against the enemy they’ve said is an existential threat to their democracy. They joke that he can’t be trusted with the nuclear codes which if taken seriously means they’re suggesting he’d wipe cities off the face of the earth but they still think the future of millions of people in whatever cities he would target must only be decided by a vote in November. They will talk up January 6 and insist the enemy will take power by any underhanded means but then handicap themselves with high minded values. Let the whole world go down with the ship if it means they upheld their philosophical values.
We can give Dems more potent words, like all the left academia terms they absorbed and disarmed on the summer of 2020. This is what happens when we trying to win the spectacle on their terms; be it “the news” or social media. Those mediums are totalized by capital and cannot be won by an anti capitalist faction.
Not sure what the winning play is but I think it necessarily is some kind of sustained direct action that creates friction in a world of frictionless spectacle. Some sort of denial of treats and entertainment or easily digested narratives… it has to be totally divorced from the forces that determine success in the spectacle. Whatever it is, it will be incredibly unpopular due to the disruption, it will probably be illegal or be later made illegal by reactionaries… so it can’t be planned online.
(lol I got into a little bit of a rant mode. This is not intended to be overly confrontational, libs are just so damn disappointing.)
I’m by no means sober, but when I don’t want to drink but still want the feeling of having a tasty drink with less candy sweetness than American soda, I have found a few good options. Italian bitter sodas like Crodino, Sanbitter and Chinotto. And pathfinder: hemp and root. They have the complexity of a good cocktail without the alcohol. Expensive though.
Down the road from our city’s giant parking lot and sports complex there’s a part of town the city forgot. Mostly junkyards and dilapidated building. There’s a diy punk venue with a beautiful vegetable garden / smoking patio out back. The cops don’t seem to go to that part of town so they’re left alone.
My mom is making Costco chicken nuggets for family lunch tomorrow on a friends recommendation. I have an air fryer; is it my duty to take it over and do this?
History rhymes. Are they gonna get Sorkin to pen another movie afterwards?
Yep. Every toxic power dynamic when even an infinitesimally small number of people defy it.
I see we have a resident asbestos expert. A few years ago I was responsible for removing some equipment that was mounted to the drop ceiling before they demolished a room to renovate. A few days after my part while they were mid demo the asbestos remediation signs showed up and big tubes were strung through the hallways. I didn’t work in that building so I’m not worried about what was disturbed by demo and spread around but have to wonder how much exposure I got being in the plenum space for about fifteen minutes.

Chastising leftists, donating to Amy McGrath clones and doing 45 minutes of voting a year.
Hardcore.
Yeah I prefer my genocide with a generous side of condescension and gaslighting.

As a former employee, I hope you were showing up for the cheap or free pizzas right before closing. We ripped the box tops off to signal to inventory that we threw it away, then gave it out or sold it for a couple bucks we pocketed. That was a looong time ago; they probably have better prevention systems now.
