Oh man this just awakened the memory of the "Big Dawg" stores. Actual stores that were ONLY big dawg merch shirts, hats, and pants.
It sucks, but there is a lot of precedent in the US for "you are allowed to be as stupid with your money as you want, as long as you're sane."
He may have delusions around his religion or beliefs, but he has the rights to have those delusions and beliefs, and if he wants to place bets on his beliefs because he holds them that strongly then he can. If someone else spots him as a mark and takes advantage of him, sure it was dumb of him, and they may not be in the cleanest moral area, but that's America, learn your lesson and move on.
You go to New York and some guy sells you a newspaper that helps raise money for charity and the homeless for $5 and you believe him then find out it's a free paper all over the city, that's life.
We can protect you when you don't know any better, but when you bet everyone in the room that you can fly and you can't? That's a hard bet to make buddy, and a harder bill to pay.
Alright who's going to tell me this is some terrible sign of climate change, poison in the water, or some dickheads on yachts chasing it with a minigun or something.
- Gross. Why.
- I thought they didn't look like kids, they were just short and merry looking. They had long lives but they didn't look like children.
- What is the joke here even if they do?
First comment to get a cringe out of me as I thought of the spiky pedals. Congrats
Was that intended to look like a worm parasite?
Wasn't this after he ate like 5 dozen hard boiled eggs or something?
Good. Let's go, round two baby, ride this wave all the way to the bottom
I've often called Target "Walmart without the stigma". They advertise themselves and nice and clean, but it's just Walmart with clients that don't want to be seen going to Walmart.
I have a friend who open carries everywhere as well. We do not live in a dangerous area at all and he carries this thing to the grocery store.
I call it his "big boy gun" because it makes him feel like he's a big boy now, like a kid who wears his "big boy" pants with no diapers.
Problem is things will have to get worse for a lot more people for that to really happen en masse, I support the idea but I wouldn't probably stop because none of my debts are debilitating. I have a good savings and my only payment is my mortgage and whatever I put on my credit card that month. I'm not going to just stop paying my mortgage for a political movement, and a lot of other people won't either, supporting or not, people don't like risking their homes when they don't technically have to.
All the banks have to do is make examples of a few good people and all the others will likely fall back in line. Finances and debt is something that is very personal to a lot of peopl so people are hesitant to let that flag fly and unite publicly as well.
Wait yeah, if a doc is using guns to provide abortions do you take away his guns or let him keep giving abortions?
The abortions are in self defense of course.
Is it rotating weekly? If this is so common then what is the benefit of this? Like surely just keeping your employees constantly confused/off balance during their shift isn't good
I had a job that rotated, but it was quarterly, and it was so nobody got "stuck" on nights/days.
I'm interested, but can someone provide more context? What is this document, who wrote it, who is actually pushing it, etc.
Like if you went to the RNC and a presenter said "here's the plan" and everyone in the room erupted in applause that's one thing, but if one crazy person wrote this up wearing a tin foil Nazi maga hat and said "LISTEN THIS IS THE PLAN" to himself and posted it on Twitter then that's a whole different deal.

In universe I want to guess they added pressure to the back side of the system to balance out the water vs air pressure since it's part of the training system. That said, it was probably just movie magic bs.
I mean to an extent, it is a self fulfilling prophecy. Whether or not it's the case, it's often felt my men that they have to be the breadwinner, or at least the point of strength. They can have people around them that tell them otherwise, but if they don't feel like they measure up then that's what it will be.
People don't often just commit suicide because they're like "I guess this is how the math works out", they felt, or were told, or told themselves, that things can only be better if they're gone. In every case, they won't be, but that's where their mental journey led them
Not to belittle it on either side but I do wonder what causes that disparity. Is it that men plan it more thoroughly or have access to more dangerous methods? Do women choose methods that, unintentional or not, can be backed out of more easily? Are women more likely to report a failed attempt than men? If that 2-3x factor is true, then why don't we see similar numbers of idk completion? I hesitate to say success because it is very much not a success to commit suicide, there are always other options, even if they're not perfect.
