  1. Latest reason for rich New Yorkers to throw their money away on pizza: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/02/dining/pizza-expensive-sofia-shoppe-nyc.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&version=Moth-Visible&moduleDetail=inside-nyt-region-0&module=inside-nyt-region&region=inside-nyt-region&WT.nav=inside-nyt-region&_r=0 Fuck, I can get a well made, multi-topping pie size large and still come in under $20
  2. Watched this bigger ant cross paths with a much smaller ant. Little dude delivered some sort of quick death blow and left this guy writhing in agony. All that yellow shit is pollen.
  3. "And I, for one, would like to welcome our new insect overlords...."
  4. I don't think it's fucked up, it's how the CIA operates. I mean they have that book that details other countries resources and shit which pretty much tells you they're looking around at everyone else thinking what potential value do these places hold for us if we disrupt and/or acquire. I imagine that we virtually have the technology to watch KJU take his morning shit every day from space, and we could probably drop a bomb on him at any time we want. But- the American goverment is ultra concerned with face/image, I imagine they would rather get someone of Korean blood to do the dirty work for them, and then probably kill them to keep it from getting out. And we have to worry about Russia too before making any moves. Ironic view on protestors since you are THE Protestor, no? Lol. There's probably room for some degree of extreme thinking on a lot of issues, I mean people have shit that they hold dear and personal for their reasons and we're just not all going to meet in the middle on everything. However, there is evidence that when you have two opposing views, especially extreme views, the most you will get is moderate change where each side is willing to give in only a little to reach an agreement. Doesn't accomplish much. Dickhead congressmen love to stall shit forever, then reach one of these barely budging agreements, and then appear together before the American people acting as if they accomplished something together. Sickens me. There is also evidence though that when two opposing sides are given equal power/status, and they have to work together to achieve a common desirable goal, they can pretty much make that happen. The unfortunate part of American politics is that people no longer know how to work together, it's all about holding a party line, and Americans generally accept this with little protest. I've voted one party my whole life, but at this point, I'm more likely to choose an independent, and probably more likely to view an independent as a bit more real. We were already fucked on mental health a long time ago, things can only get worse if they make cuts to something that really needed an increased budget years ago. Essentially a lot of state run services, including hospital and residential programs, were shut down maybe 15-20 years ago. A lot of those people ended up under bridges, in the woods, along RR tracks, and a lot ended up in prison systems not equipped to handle that population. They also cut length of stay for serious shit like suicide attempts, so you can try to kill yourself today, get hospitalized tonight, and quite possibly be released in the morning with nothing having changed. That is true insanity.
  5. Props on some posting, will look for more. If I may offer two pieces of constructive criticism though- 1- in any benching I hate when people fuck with the color saturation. Makes no sense to me, takes away from the natural beauty of what is. Plus it strikes me as trying to put an artistic spin on something that is already artistic, like you don't try to colorize an Ansel Adams. 2- the way some of these are shot you can't even read the piece, which defeats the purpose. You either need to set the camera further back (or don't zoom in so much) or pan the camera. The aerial shots were cool, wish I could see what was on those.
  6. You mean you were born like this?! I'm a little to old to worry about lead affecting my development but at the same time I wouldn't sit down and eat a bowl of brass shavings and gunpowder. Also, I've never had this issue with a rifle or shotgun. I did have the thought that maybe it's the use of cheap ammo. I don't reload my own and frequent shooting can be expensive.
  7. Among this morning's headlines are claims by NK that the CIA has a plot of how to kill KJU. I found this semi amusing as I imagine the CIA has plots of how to eliminate most foreign leaders, friendly or not. The ongoing conversations here and elsewhere on who is worse, Trump or Clinton, were and still are laughable to me. Both are complete turds, Clinton might just be a better polished turd but shit is still shit even if you shine it up. I also think you have to look beyond policy to things like who do they accept money from and give it to, who are some of their supporters, what foreign connections do people like Clinton have, etc. Again, I didn't support either candidate.
  8. Curious if anyone is concerned about contaminants from lead and other residues and what do you do about it? Every once in a while I'll get some kicked back in my face with the pistol, probably a mix of gunpowder and shell casing, can't be good. Of course hands always get dirty and I've made a point to always wash before leaving the range, really don't want to wear gloves.
  9. I can'y say that I paid a ton of attention to what Obama was doing at that time but am finding it hard to believe that insurance companies, who have traditionally refused pre-existing conditions, would willingly start taking them all as well as having to cover some basic benefits that they wouldn't before. Not sure that forcing everyone to get insurance would somehow outweigh that so curious where your info comes from? I don't need exact references or links or anything.
