Personally I'm sad they didn't get a majority, because that's probably the best cure, people need to see how damaging their policies are, and how stupid they really are.

Be careful what you wish for. That’s the attitude America had that earned us another run of the Orange pedo.

It was also the attitude of Weimar Germany towards the Nazi party.

What makes you think they’d let him out?

They expect those people to starve (‘and decrease the surplus population’) or accept company scrip for ‘cheaper’ food, thus recreating large-scale chattel slavery.

Well, the original-original duck tape, which wasn’t a sticky tape, was recommended and used a lot in construction (and shoes, and fashion) back at the turn of the last century. Duck tape, the original sticky and somewhat waterproof version, was used by the military for quick repairs during WWII. Afterwards it was often sold in stores for quick home repairs.

But yes, especially these days and for long-term repairs, there are better options.

From Wikipedia:

The first material called "duck tape" was long strips of plain non-adhesive cotton duck cloth used in making shoes stronger, for decoration on clothing, and for wrapping steel cables or electrical conductors to protect them from corrosion or wear. For instance, in 1902, steel cables supporting the Manhattan Bridge were first covered in linseed oil then wrapped in duck tape before being laid in place.

That’s because it was originally ‘duck’ tape, due to it being made from duck cloth. After WWII the GIs back home from the war had liked how useful it was, and so used it for general repairs, including sometimes taping up air ducts, from which it got its more commonly-known name.

Sadly, people do believe this. These are the same assholes that go off on women for wearing bras and then expecting all tits to be naturally porn-star perky.

Their real goal, under the ragebait, is to create and then normalize an ‘ideal woman’ template that’s nigh-unattainable and then punish every woman who doesn’t fit the mold. A demand, if you will, that every woman perform and dress up just for their eyes, with a side effect of disenfranchising and controlling women as the cherry on top.

It used to be considered such a ‘trash food’ fit only for the pathetically poor that there were actually servant employment contracts that limited the amount of lobster the Master of the House was allowed to feed his staff.

Now, that’s largely independent of the taste, mind you. It was more that the Victorians considered any bottom-feeder seafood to be nigh unfit for eating.

I don’t think he, or anyone else, has the right to go from zero to violence without any steps in between for something as mild as someone trying to touch an object that belongs to him. Talking to the offender should always be the first step. If they refuse to listen or back off, then escalation may be warranted, but, again, that’s not what happens in the video. He just flat-out tackles her.

I base this off of what you've said which leads me to believe that you think other people should act that way in that situation, but you'd do something different if it was you.

Not sure where you’re getting this. If someone reaches out to touch something of mine, I ask them to stop. That is what sane people do. They try talking first.

We also don't know the intent of the grabber.

And we should always assume the worst of people and immediately attack them? Dude, that’s what gets people shot for accidentally knocking on the wrong door. That sort of behavior is not okay.

And my question was a serious one. Sane people, again, don’t go around assaulting other people at the slightest provocation. That you apparently do, or fantasize about doing so, is a sign that you are quite mentally disturbed.

You. You don't assign a value to other people's things or care what happens to them, so I assumed you'd not care about your own stuff as well.

And you base this off of… my belief that one should ask people to stop touching their stuff rather than immediately run up and beat the shit out of them?

Were you dropped on your head as a child, or do you come by this level of violent sociopathy naturally?

Where the heck did this part about destroying stuff come from? Where in the ad did the woman say she was going to destroy his clubs?

 

For fun, pair with something always happening to make you leave just a little later than you needed to in order to get to wherever you’re going on time.
