This is even worse than the memory hole.

The paper is not just _gone_, it's _stealthily replaced_.

@Darcehole "hope she catches some horrible brain eating disease" << fight fire with fire? ;- {)

500 million ft of wire?

@zero_consequences the plural of _Hail Mary_ is _Hails Mary_

@Atkins How did you find this juicy morsel, is this original research?

did somebody say guns?

_nods approvingly_

that "#disarmthem" mem is awesome

they even say "Open carry holsters are designed to quickly release the firearm through a simple upward motion"

the image in the background is a holster with a manually operated latch

to prevent the firearm from being removable "through a simple upward motion"

hmm?

no, this image is brilliant

antifa is not well informed or creative enough to say things this stupid, has to be 4chan plant

idunno, I think maybe it is just meant to be max. dank

and if some fools try some very stupid things after seeing it, maybe it's just the way it is.

> _States with open carry laws, also tend to have "Stand your Ground" Laws_
depends on what you mean by each of those

@da britian Man, that image is such a dog's breakfast

M16 style handle, no muzzle brake, holding what looks like a handgun cartridge

curved magazine?

Front sight higher than rear sight???

@Khanclansith of what?

oh, image that da britain shared a couple pages back here

some weeb nonsense

what is that round though, and why is the front sight so high?

oh my goodness, I have found the gun weebs

@Zuihou Rule 34 dictates that there have to be a gaggle of japanese women dressed as school girls staring at a 12.7mm round exclaiming "でかぁぁい〜" in broad daylight with not even a hint of shame.

Man, the human experience is... embarrassing.

Well, it's not a community, which seems to be the lesson of the century.

Just because a lot of people do something or are something, doesn't mean they're a community, at least in any respect other than what unites them.

I am simultaneously enamoured, entertained, energized, and embarrassed by this weeb shit.

Just like when a lady undoes her top button, and suddenly the old IQ (de facto) drops a good 30% in the male cohort of a certain age or lower.

Next video: girls dressed in sailor suits join the actual U.S. Navy in a fleet of Warthogs, and fire the GAU-8 Avenger

LoL

I don't think the J[MA]SDF has even one A-10 Thunderbolt II

though it'd make for a stellar marketing tool

heheh

Well, they have _that_ almost everywhere

I think even Sweden has that sort.

though I guess most others go with considerably less clothing than that.

Well, I think it cuts both ways. If you're a shut-in (I know the feeling, since I was when I was 16), it's easy to look at nude imagery

so it becomes less special, and you seek out things with more meaning

erh, at least more varied meaning

Now that I'm not a shut-in, I don't mind me some nude.

Might be some sort of weird personality flaw of mine, but I like the idea of seeing sensitive and intimate imagery of specific people I meet in my everyday life.

It's hotter that way.

@Zuihou That is a brilliant idea.

When I get a car again, it'll be the only MX-5 in town with a nude portrait embroidered into the seat.

What if by upholding objectivity, you eschew it? Checkmate.

Yeah, I think a jury would agree that this has the elements of defamation (if this ever made it before a jury, which it probably will not).

I agree with @JULZIFICATOR on this; for the purposes of the case, it is sufficient that they falsely claim that you were a guest, host, or collaborator with many of these people, since the purpose of stating these falsehoods is to encourage people to think less of you in ways which affect your business and livelihood.

N.E. Wei, have fun with this, and let us know if you set up a specific crowd funding run for this case. @Timcast

Yeah, not sure what solid connection can be drawn

that seems like the most difficult thing to prove here

Then again, you do have access to their email addresses, you could conduct a survey, and some of them may respond

(some of those who have cancelled their patreon subscriptions)

In this case that no es no good

the only advertiser I remember W.R.T. Tim is MyPatriotSupply; and since they have the brass balls to continue sponsoring Steven Crowder, I doubt there will be anything with them in relation to this release.

BRB studying law

@Atkins I must say, among all the ethnicities that could care about white people appropriating their culture, the Japanese are plausibly the least likely.

get that man a checkmark!

Well, that's not so much about "recognizing trans rights"

but about imposing new "rights" based on gender identity.

trans people continue to have rights, just like everyone else

Well, it's all very confusing to me, because having met and worked with plenty of trans people, I'm almost certain they (the ones I've met, that is) would prefer not to be recognized particularly differently from their preferred/desired gender unless absolutely necessary; which is why I am skeptical about people who identify as "trans" rather than just as a chick or dood.

Broken arms and psychosis are not immoral. There is of course some difficulty around mental health affecting a propensity for immoral behaviour: the question arises as to whether being broken absolves you of responsibility for some actions in some circumstances.

So I am sympathetic to the argument that there is room for specific protection of mental disturbances from scrutiny, in some circumstances.

I mean, five years ago I was just humouring it, and it was okay, and nobody was hurt.

Now you have to do some dance between _noticing_ and _not noticing_, at least in some circles, it all gets very confusing.

@JULZIFICATOR Yeah, though it's complicated, because it's not necessarily true that you should contradict the delusion directly either.

Anyway, for the time being it is actually still a pretty easy issue, in terms of the social side.

Most actual trans people are not involved in the politics, and it is easy to get along.

Just as most women you'll meet are not feminists (in the sense of belonging to the current political movement known as "feminism"), and most men you'll meet are not particularly involved in their own gender politics either.

heheh

The Free Cringe Movement

I fully encourage everyone else to get out of the gene pool, to make way for me.

most of them are voluntarily celibate

just REEEEally lazy.

and engaged in a collective delusion of inadequacy

turns out there are plenty of shitty girls for these shitty guys to smash.

believe me, @>Cytos, de lieve goede synth, they can have one if they'd like.

Well, I'm glad it's gone where it's gone.

if men who are susceptible to this delusion are flocking together, and making themselves reviled by society, then things will sort themselves out

the next generation will be stronk like bull

Online dating has made the girls here much more awkward when approached in public.

picking up chicks in Ontario is kinda dangerous.

ayyy :- )

the Métis girls are nice.

Well, the thing about the land between _pump 'n dump_ and _teenage brides_ is that if women let them, 80th percentile guys will have a lot of fun in this range and never really want out.

Fun, convenient, and locally unsustainable?

like what?

I mean, I'm no advocate of pump 'n dump, but there are some ladies who behave in a manner conducive to it, and it doesn't feel like it does me any harm while I'm doing it.

not that it doesn't do me any harm

Here in Ontario, I kinda want the _fire and forget_ ladies to suffer for their bad life decisions.
