You lost me at time travel... No doubt some punk ass kids, right? Sidenote, I have considered getting a bee hive, my cousin started a hive last year and it seems cool.

Since this thing got its own thread, and rightfully so, I wanna change gears. I dont know what is going on but strangers are getting mad comfortable striking weird wildly inappropriate conversations with me and my wife. I cant remember exactly what the last one was but we were ordering food somewhere and the cashier was making pleasant conversation and then made a left turn and started making some kind of cum joke. My wife and I just kinda stared at this kid not saying anything. He obviously thought we didnt hear him as he doubled down by getting louder and saying the same wild ass shit. Just yesterday we were at the grocery store and some old man started a conversation with us about brussel sprouts. Things were going completely normal until this old man ran out of recipes and B lined to talking about my old ladies love handles and having something to hold onto. Granddad, we all know you havent had a hard on in over 25 years. Are people crossing the line of pleasantry everywhere or is it just me?

I love a good buy back. There is always a loop hole to be exploited. If you can bend sheet metal, you can make a bunch of janky 20 round "magazines" for them to buy back.

We used to do something similar - get the dollar Walmart chrome/gold/black and scan the barcode. Print a gang of them out and go back into the store and put them on Krylon/Rusto etc Only got bagged once by Loss Prevention but the homies got popped and I made it out.

I’m wearing my forum tee today and the plumber that I had to call out to the house recognized 12oz. Said he used to go on all the time back in the day. Laced him up w a few 12oz stickers.

Thanks. I vaguely remember the work in doing it. But I do remember it was tricky amd I didn't have much time.

You reminded me of something I used to do back in the day growing up in a household with limited money and price tags where still printed on items. So basically when I was in the store I would grab a GI Joe and ask if I could get it? Parents would look at the price tag and say "we can't afford that right now. If you can find one cheaper then maybe". So I would go back and intentionally waste my time looking for one cheaper. Then quickly realized, pulling a price tag with lesser value and placing it over the existing price tag I would have a better chance at getting it. It worked flawlessly. Did everytime but not all the time. Talk about 80s - 90s memories.

Unfortunately no info was exchanged. My wife spent the rest of our grocery shopping journey trying to avoid this old man. My wife is such a mouse people will run all over her and she will appologize for being in their way. I hate that shit. I get straight up fucking loud and ignorant in public when I see that type of behaviour from other people. I have been trying to watch my mouth in public especially when communicating with other strangers. Its usually 'mother f bomb this' and 'jesus titty fucking christ that'. Its hard.

I think its Toys R Us. My local one def had an entire row of GI Joe in the mid-late eighties

Great post! That is one heck of a store. I got anxiety just looking at it.

I just copped the north face mountain light with futurelight. This is the softest TNF jacket I've ever owned. The material feels so smooth, its quiet, and its acting like mesh. I don't feel stuffy in this thing. 9/10 for sure.

That’s like some Seinfeld shit Kramers like “bob sacameno will drop off the fake mags in jersey newman and I just need to borrow your saab jerry”

Manufacturing magazines without a license to do so is probably a felony so idk how that will go over when you bring those to the pd lol

What the State Is Not: The State is almost universally considered an institution of social service. Some theorists venerate the State as the apotheosis of society; others regard it as an amiable, though often inefficient, organization for achieving social ends; but almost all regard it as a necessary means for achieving the goals of mankind, a means to be ranged against the “private sector” and often winning in this competition of resources. With the rise of democracy, the identification of the State with society has been redoubled, until it is common to hear sentiments expressed which violate virtually every tenet of reason and commonsense such as, “we are the government.” The useful collective term “we” has enabled an ideological camouflage to be thrown over the reality of political life. If “we are the government,” then anything a government does to an individual is not only just and untyrannical but also “voluntary” on the part of the individual concerned. If the government has incurred a huge public debt which must be paid by taxing one group for the benefit of another, this reality of burden is obscured by saying that “we owe it to ourselves”; if the government conscripts a man, or throws him into jail for dissident opinion, then he is “doing it to himself” and, therefore, nothing untoward has occurred. Under this reasoning, any Jews murdered by the Nazi government were not murdered; instead, they must have “committed suicide,” since they were the government (which was democratically chosen), and, therefore, anything the government did to them was voluntary on their part. One would not think it necessary to belabor this point, and yet the overwhelming bulk of the people hold this fallacy to a greater or lesser degree. We must, therefore, emphasize that “we” are not the government; the government is not “us.” The government does not in any accurate sense “represent” the majority of the people.1 But, even if it did, even if 70 percent of the people decided to murder the remaining 30 percent, this would still be murder and would not be voluntary suicide on the part of the slaughtered minority.2 No organicist metaphor, no irrelevant bromide that “we are all part of one another,” must be permitted to obscure this basic fact. If, then, the State is not “us,” if it is not “the human family” getting together to decide mutual problems, if it is not a lodge meeting or country club, what is it? Briefly, the State is that organization in society which attempts to maintain a monopoly of the use of force and violence in a given territorial area; in particular, it is the only organization in society that obtains its revenue not by voluntary contribution or payment for services rendered but by coercion. While other individuals or institutions obtain their income by production of goods and services and by the peaceful and voluntary sale of these goods and services to others, the State obtains its revenue by the use of compulsion; that is, by the use and the threat of the jailhouse and the bayonet.3 Having used force and violence to obtain its revenue, the State generally goes on to regulate and dictate the other actions of its individual subjects. One would think that simple observation of all States through history and over the globe would be proof enough of this assertion; but the miasma of myth has lain so long over State activity that elaboration is necessary.

What the State Is: Man is born naked into the world, and needing to use his mind to learn how to take the resources given him by nature, and to transform them (for example, by investment in “capital”) into shapes and forms and places where the resources can be used for the satisfaction of his wants and the advancement of his standard of living. The only way by which man can do this is by the use of his mind and energy to transform resources (“production”) and to exchange these products for products created by others. Man has found that, through the process of voluntary, mutual exchange, the productivity and hence, the living standards of all participants in exchange may increase enormously. The only “natural” course for man to survive and to attain wealth, therefore, is by using his mind and energy to engage in the production-and-exchange process. He does this, first, by finding natural resources, and then by transforming them to make them his individual property, and then, by exchanging this property for the similarly obtained property of others. The social path dictated by the requirements of man’s nature, therefore, is the path of “property rights” and the “free market” of gift or exchange of such rights. Through this path, men have learned how to avoid the “jungle” methods of fighting over scarce resources so that A can only acquire them at the expense of B and, instead, to multiply those resources enormously in peaceful and harmonious production and exchange. The great German sociologist Franz Oppenheimer pointed out that there are two mutually exclusive ways of acquiring wealth; one, the above way of production and exchange, he called the “ economic means.” The other way is simpler in that it does not require productivity; it is the way of seizure of another’s goods or services by the use of force and violence. This is the method of one-sided confiscation, of theft of the property of others. This is the method which Oppenheimer termed “the political means” to wealth. It should be clear that the peaceful use of reason and energy in production is the “natural” path for man: the means for his survival and prosperity on this earth. It should be equally clear that the coercive, exploitative means is contrary to natural law; ANATOMY OF THE STATE it is parasitic, for instead of adding to production, it subtracts from it. The “political means” siphons production off to a parasitic and destructive individual or group; and this siphoning not only subtracts from the number producing, but also lowers the producer’s incentive to produce beyond his own subsistence. In the long run, the robber destroys his own subsistence by dwindling or eliminating the source of his own supply. But not only that; even in the short-run, the predator is acting contrary to his own true nature as a man. We are now in a position to answer more fully the question: what is the State? The State, in the words of Oppenheimer, is the “organization of the political means”; it is the systematization of the predatory process over a given territory. A monopoly on violence. For crime, at best, is sporadic and uncertain; the parasitism of the state however is ephemeral, and the coercive, parasitic lifeline may be cut off at any time by the resistance of the victims. The State provides a legal, orderly, systematic channel for the predation of private property; it renders certain, secure, and relatively “peaceful” the lifeline of the parasitic caste in society. 5 Since production must always precede predation, the free market is anterior to the State. The State has never been created by a “social contract”; it has always been born in conquest and exploitation. The classic paradigm was a conquering tribe pausing in its time-honored method of looting and murdering a conquered tribe, to realize that the timespan of plunder would be longer and more secure, and the situation more pleasant, if the conquered tribe were allowed to live and produce, with the conquerors settling among them as rulers exacting a steady annual tribute.

Lady is known for having been abducted and assaulted over a period of time as a child, and surviving. She was apparently one of the characters on The Masked Singer recently.

Damnit. Way better than my thread title.

@ndv- I agree. There should be lots of goodies here. Starting with this -- https://joebiden.com/gunsafety/ Currently everyone that is a citizen and is allowed to own a gun.... has a 2nd amendment right. Let's see how this changes as time goes on. There is some scary stuff in that link.

Hopefully Raven ends up billion, or hundred million ballin and gets some global 12oz encrypted app going hosted on Space X satellites. It's so dope coming on here, knowing you're not being profiled, pick pocketed, and reported. Also dope none of us have the same beliefs politically, but agree on most of the other 99% of shit.

Me when everyone ditches social media and comes back to 12oz

@mr.yuck I’d wager it’s mostly their coworkers selling them out. That $1000 reward the FBI is offering > $600 stimmy. Seems like a lot of these folks were snitching themselves out on Parler, Twitter alternative that makes you provide front and back pics of your ID.... and get this... your SSN to create an acct. Parler brands itself as the Twitter option for the right, some folks suggesting it might be a CIA honeypot to get them to snitch on themselves. If that’s true, it worked.

Don’t wear your work ID while storming the capitol

Not political but I'm unable to resist posting this, apologies.
