Pirate, anti-authoritarian, amoral, atheist. Do what you want and tell the gods to go fuck themselves

When you're ready for that, find me at Hi-Fidelity in Portland Maine.

This data looks suspicious. Caveat, I am against the US playing at empire again. But the homeless stat, is that 650,000 in the whole US? Because that is like 0.2% of the population. What is near 0? The rest of it I don't know enough off the top of my head, but this feels like it's being misleading. And the sources are just these organizations? Not data sets?

Actually that is already the way things are in most states. A driver's license is a privilege not a right, and can be taken away on articulable suspicion without conviction of a crime or even probable cause to suspect a crime being committed

This reasoning is a large part of why we have a binary political system. Vote however you want, personally I think Democrat leadership is perfectly happy keeping every precedent established by the current administration in place

Yeah. I love the idea of an income tax strike. But how do we organize it? Feds are gonna go for someone, how do we protect those folks? Things are bad, but until things are bad enough that citizens are ready to become criminals, are ready to go to prison, we won't see something so radical as "not paying taxes"

At least one of those is a hundred dollar bill. So make a bunch ahead of time and I don't think they'll mind

St Augustine? And it's "Love God and do as you will" I think. But I don't know that Augustine is adored by anyone outside the classics department

I hear ya, and I don't disagree. But I hope this is the worst fight they're ever in and they never have to learn

Dude, asking for a source is part of the process of establishing corroborating pieces of evidence.

People are still hopeful this can be resolved democratically. Maybe it can, maybe it can't. But no sane person wants a violent revolution. It is a final desperate act, and there is no guarantee that what emerges from the bloodshed will be better than what we started with. And the unfortunate truth is no one knows when the "appropriate" moment to rebel arrives. It's why we would do well to remember that every rebel is first a criminal, and every criminal primarily a rebel

If you're talking about solanine it's only really present in dangerous amounts when the skin is green. Plenty of traditional South American recipes leave the skin on the potatoes

Wait for real? I thought I knew beer but I've never heard of soup based cultures for fermentation. Not terribly surprised I suppose. Every time I think I understand microbiology I find out some asshole from 200 years ago had the best method to propagate an organism they couldn't see and had no reason to believe even existed

Does it feel off to any that it's state branded?

Wait mail only voting? As in, I couldn't vote in person if I wanted to? No in person voting at all? Quaint Mainer here, I hadn't realized some states were doing that?

This is probably the appearance at the sea of Galilee, after the crucifixion and resurrection. Still weird but canonically at least no weirder than anything else going on when your dead pal shows up to the fishing trip
