Because the Nazi skinheads did a great job of co-opting the punk title for most people who weren't actually interested in punk. The news media were very complicit in pushing that specific image to undermine the punk movement to the general public.

Oh, look. The party of Nazi apologists is passing laws to make their own Gestapo. But everyone comparing them to Nazis are the real problem.

Shouldn't these clowns be charged with obstruction of justice?

Breaking news: "Nazi apologists create Gestapo." Who could have seen that coming?

So my child, who is not old enough for their own account, will now no longer be able to watch Disney+ while attending school at their residential academy 400 miles away. Just like Netflix. And just like Netflix, my subscription will be canceled the moment they try to block them from logging in.

My friend in grammar school had a Leap Day birthday and his parents' solution was that his birthday was celebrated "the day after February 28th".

From experience, there is nothing preventing you from leaving, except that anything you do has to be close enough to the bus lot and meticulously scheduled to allow for you to drive from the bus lot to where you need to be and back while also allowing any prep time, especially if you need to pretrip your bus.

In other words, in theory, you can do whatever you want. In practice, you're straight up tethered to that lot. I worked out my actual pay last year. I made $22/hrs working for a major national transportation service. My average paid time was about 6.5 hours. My layover time was two separate segments. I had 2.5 hours of driving in the AM, about 1.5 in the late AM, and another 2.5 in the PM. These were separate by 2 hours, and then 2.5 hours. So, the reality of this schedule meant that I couldn't do much of anything on my downtime. I was obligated to 11 hours, only 6.5 of which I was paid. So, the reality was that I was making $13/hr. That math convinced me not to return this year. That, and my shit benefits caused me to get a $1,400 lab bill for work that was only $45 on my previous insurance. They screw you. They screw you coming, they screw you going, and anything that goes wrong is always your fault, while they're quick to take credit when things go well.

It ain't worth it.

Fo beltalowda!

I bought a USB-to-aux adapter because my current phone does not have a headphone jack and my vehicle doesn't have Bluetooth. I use it literally every day, sometimes for hours. It's utter nonsense that they are getting rid of them.

When Trump promotes this imagery, it is explicitly to incite somebody in his Cadre of cultish followers to act on it. All it takes is just one to act on it. It's textbook stochastic terrorism.

I'd love to know what this would actually do.

Edit: Thanks for the responses and lively discussion!!

It took me using my friend's bidet just once to convert. I ordered one that night, from BidetKing. Now I really hate using the toilet in public.

Yer gonna need a much longer pole...

Sorry about that transporter malfunction.

The mind-bending thing about it is thus: there are an infinite multitude of "you" throughout the multiverse expressing every "you" that could, or even could not, be. However, there are infinitely more realities with no "you" at all. The set of infinities containing an expression of "you" is necessarily smaller than the set of infinities that do not contain an expression of "you" simply owing to the very narrow nature of eventualities required to express "you" into existence. In point of fact, that set if infinitesimal labeled "you" is infinitesimal in comparison to the set labeled "not you", and yet still uncountable in its infinity.

King is my favorite author, hands down, but I don't understand why so many people seem to look down at Koontz. If we're really being honest, Koontz would be much more well regarded if it weren't for the fact that he's so frequently directly compared to King, and Stephen King is a one-of-a-kind, once in a lifetime literary master. Absent the comparison to King, the bulk of Koontz's work holds up quite well. It's entertaining writing with relatable characters that are easy for become invested in. Hell, some of his ideas were not only terrifyingly imaginative, they were also oddly accurate predictions of the future. Demon Seed is uniquely chilling in that it was almost comically over the top with its seemingly ridiculous technology that has since very much become a reality.

I would also argue that Koontz has had a few film adaptations that ended up better than the King adaptations of their time. Phantoms, Watchers, Servants of Twilight, Whispers, Intensity, and Mr. Murder were all pretty great.

Koontz has a great track record. He simply suffers from living in the shadow of a modern day colossus like King. Absent the comparison, I feel Koontz would be much more favorably viewed.

The States Attorney already said its nothing more than a symbolic gesture. They legally cannot secede from the state. I have the severe misfortune of living in one of these counties. Everything around here is dead or dying because of decades of total, uncontested Republican rule. Whole towns here are nearly abandoned. And yet, they STILL bitch about how the Democrats, who have no control here, have ruined everything.

There are so many levels of wrong to this that it's hard to take it all in.

So the mom admits that she thinks they're all pedos, but keeps posting anyway? There are a few different levels of depravity to that one element.

It's not a popular take, but it seems pretty well established that pedophilia is a compulsive mental disorder. Nothing about that absolves them of their actions, but it gives us a base-line that they are all collectively sick in the literal sense.

"Mom", if one could deign to label her such, is admitting that she is slinging images of her underage child to what amount to compulsive addicts. She's exploiting her daughter's innocence for profit, while feeding into the self-destructive compulsion of others, while simultaneously judging her customers with disgust and contempt.

She's so much worse than a drug dealer. This is the worst kind of abuse and exploitation, and really makes you wonder just how much worse it really is behind closed doors for those "extras"?

The entire situation is just a circle-jerk of depravity.

I drive a Ford F-550 every day. To drive 20 special needs people to work and back. Because it's a bus.

Now the GOP is really hating Mexico.
