They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Quote from: Admiral Yi on July 22, 2022, 06:32:31 PMI agree cops should not beat people up just for mouthing off and if they do they should be prosecuted.  However it's not something I believe happens much, if at all.

Same with getting shot for running away.

One should be polite to the police because one should be polite to everyone.  Of course you shouldn't get beat up for not being polite.  See above.

Yes, if police resort to force it's most likely because of a failure to comply. 

You should keep your hands in view if ordered to keep your hands in view.  If you're walking down the street you don't need to keep your hands in view.  Yes, the police want you to stay in the car if they pull you over.  I don't see the problem with this.

So noted.

I was just thinking that your sisters don't seem to recycle *every single* Qanon theory.  It would be interesting to understand how their filters work.

I don't really know how one interacts with that / figures out how to sway out of such positions.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

She probably thinks its easier for the Democrats and their Chinese and Venezuelan allies to fuck around with mail in ballots.

The Minsky Moment

The unemployment rate was 6.7 percent then as opposed to 3.6% now.
Funny how easily people forget.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

It's not a matter of forgetting, it's a matter of making up shit that is easily disproven.  E.g., the DIA was at 30,829 on Jan 6 2021 and was at 32,916 (a considerable comedown from the market's peak) on June 6, 2022.  The average price for gasoline was $2.26 in Jan 2021.  Border crossings were just off a ten-year high, and apprehensions in 2020 were the lowest in twenty years.  The record low for interest rates was in 2008-2015 (0.25).

 :lol: Syt should post that so his family can see it.

On second thought, they'd probably interpret it as hell yeah we are fighting the good fight unlike them libtards.
