the left: "Ban high cap mags, AR-15s, and semi autos to prevent another tragedy like this!"
observant people: "But.... that wouldn't have banned a pump action shotgun."
i'm sure most of those people see "assault weapon" as any weapon you can attack (assault) with
#EndageredSpeciesDay is trending on twitter. US students aren't on the list. No need to worry yet.
what about black liberals?
those are extinct already
non on the wild.

anyone here read Utopia?
its interesting the similarities with 1984, except with the opposite viewpoint... like obrien says I dont want to force you to do this, I want you to want to "be a good citizen" kinda thing... but in Utopia its more about all the Utopians rather than a specific character... but the way it describes things... like "everyone can go to bed whenever they want, but they all want to go to bed at a reasonable time".. the idea of Utopia seems to be a place where everyone just thinks the same
also utopia seems to have slavery 😛 .. but I guess it was written in the 1500's so...
but on the 1984 thing... its like with 1984, its written with the idea of "this is a bad thing".. and with Utopia its written with the idea of "this is a good thing"
wasn't the opposite of 1984, Brave New World?
I mean its the opposite in the way of basically writting the same story
like, the same story, but with the opposite view on whether its good or bad
That seems to be how people these days view communist.
"it's a good thing if we all do this"
Yet don't realize how much bad you need to do.in order to even try and get there
Checking in from Texas. Equipped with a GoPro, a drone, and license to fly commercial footage. If any video is needed for coverage, ask.
Santa Fe is a short drive away, and I'm off tomorrow.
Hell, I'm off today at 5pm.

fucking wow! Hope @Timcast sees this.
I thought Subverse would be a place where local journalists would be able to share their coverage. For me as a local in Sweden, it´s hard to get a following, so I quit. Maybe I´ll start again once we get closer to the elecition but I don´t find it interessting when noone cares about my coverage anyway 😦
"Googles leaked video on mass behaviour modification"
I see local coverage and cooperation. Travel and footage are major competing expenses for a news organization. An alliance of independent journalists activated as needed could make a difference for independent journalism.
It would. Masses of sleeper cells. Only thing is I live at the arse end of the middle of nowhere, the only thing interesting thing thats happened here in the last year is a combine getting wrapped up power cables, knocking the power out for a day. Poor bastard was stuck in the cab hours. 😉
servers his dumbass right for knocking out everyones power
i think men need to take back this "mansplaining" term... just basically whenever you are talking to someone and are about to use the word "explain" just use mansplain instead... l"let me mansplain"
in a few years it will be "sexist" .. like "policeman" etc
("take back" is probably not the correct term there.. but you know what I was trying to mansplain)
I think men need to claim "Femsplain" instead, where they then belittle the people who care by pretending to lower themselves to their standards :P
"Let me femsplain it so you understand"
If they find it sexist, you then cure the whole point of <gender>splaining
If they are insulted, you can laugh at them, making their point moot
If they accept it, you have an excuse 😛
that just seems like you are belittling people tho... also Im not thinking just when youre talking to women .. Im think just in general... just basically erode the word "explain" from existance
you two are assuming that they posesess something resembling self awareness
doesnt matter if they dont
imagine in 5yrs if the word mansplain was basically synonymous with explain.... if a woman said "stop mansplaining" it would essentially sound (to anyone) like they are basically saying "stop explaining"
(which in a way they already are... unless Ive misunderstood what mansplain means)
you will not get it to be synonymous with explain because the only people using it now are stupid idiots and reasonable people will not use it because they don't want to look like a stupid idiot
and yes, it does mean "stop explaining things i don't want to understand"
Ive just seen it in a few tweets recently
