"I was just doing my job" is an excuse that I thought we figured out, as a planet, was bullshit in the 1940s.

Set a trap for whoever comes to haul things away.

im guessing some people have political reasons to dislike russia

If you consider trying to genocide a neighboring country "political reasons" I guess.

Fight fire with napalm.

"I deserve to exist"

"wow, why did you have to make things political"

A statement dreamt up by the utterly deranged.

Important to note: 3D PRINTED FIREARMS DO NOT BREAK WITH A FEW USES

Firsthand knowledge.

200-250 rounds and still going strong, inspected before and after firing every time

No damage so far.

Beyond that point, I agree with everything posted.

This implies it's falling on its own.

There should be a mass of red hats trying to push it over.

My first thought was "So we call 'following the law' a loophole now?"

If the law meant a fucking thing, he would have been in prison decades ago.

In my 30s, and while I've heard "let's 86 the _____" numerous times, I honestly wouldn't have connected that to "86 cherries" on an order.

I've worked in food, fast and fancy, and nobody would say "86 cherries" instead of "no cherries". Clarity is conducive to a smoothly flowing kitchen.

Here's the one that convinced my dad that connecting everything is bad:

Your smart fridge knows what's inside and knows you just added a 12 pack of soda and donuts to the shopping list. They sell that data to a bunch of companies, including your insurance company. They know you have diabetes.

Your insurance rates just went up for the fifth time this year because your insurance company knows what you're eating.

And it's a good thing you don't drink beer or your car insurance would have gone up 'due to increased risk factors.' too bad you wanted to buy a new car this year.

Not only can you not afford it now, the price went up because they know you want a car. I'm sure they would make a payment deal with you though.

And every company will know all about the deal, the beer, the donuts, and all it took was sending money to whatever company had the information, and they were more than happy to sell it.

The more we allow companies to freely operate like this without regulation and without proper punishment for breaking the rules, we will continue sliding toward the hellscape of Ferenginar. For the non trekkies, it's a hyper-capitalist species of profit-driven assholes.

Nationalist Christians?

Hmm.... We should come up with a word for that.

How about Nat-Cs?

They wear their title proudly. Openly admit it in the streets.

And yet for some reason, are allowed to continue to operate freely.

Our country goes to war for less.

Edit: A friend of mine got this shoved in their mailbox today

Totally not domestic terrorists...
