Most house infestations of cockroaches are German cockroaches.

The native American cockroach prefers to live outside or in naturally damp areas like basements and around pipes. They also don’t smell nearly as bad.

I don’t really know what this information is good for or has to do with this but I took the time to type this comment for some reason.

Unfortunately the people making that call are largely people that are on that list or closely connected to people that are.

I think this is, in large part, one of the reasons many of these authoritarian types get out of control.

On some level they know whether or not they consider their actions to be illegal that other people will. At some point they anticipate blowback and a lot of their flailing overreach stems directly from trying to get out ahead of any consequences that may come their way.

Some of these seem to be the, “pounded in the butt by my own butt” kind of nonsense.

At which point in time they turned it into a robbery. Words are not this hard.

I’m hoping that the Trump administration can convince liberals that the second amendment is not their enemy, but it’s important to remember that every time we get any expansion of gun control it is because Republicans did it.

Republicans will only expand gun control when the ‘undesirables’ start arming themselves.

It sounds counterintuitive but The most effective path to real gun control is to encourage minorities to exercise their second amendment.

My ideal Duke nukem plot would basically just be some hypermasculine caricature that starts a normal day and is faced with increasingly insane excuses for ultraviolence at which he performs exceedingly well.

He’s not scared, He’s not bored, He’s not brooding, He’s having a fucking day, and he’s all out of bubble gum.

Despite the ever-increasing Gore and violence he never has to say or do anything problematic, just fucking brutally uncompromisingly violence against people that super duper obviously need it.

Comical masculinity instead of toxic masculinity. Nothing even needs to change about his character.

I’ve seen two this year.

I’ve seen More bald eagles land in the yard year than I have seen lightning bugs.

Gay people still can’t get married in Israel right? So these are both awful countries run by awful people. It just so happens that Israel is the aggressor.

One party being bad doesn’t make the other party good. If we are lucky every single employed person both governments will suddenly drop dead.

A friend of mine noticed that a police car was coming up fast behind us so he told our friend with a joint to get rid of it. The police car had its lights flashing and though we were going probably 60 or 70 it was easily going 80 or 90.

The friend flicked it right out the window, and to my great horror it went right in the window of the cop car as it sailed by us. We could see it bounce into the back window like a hammer striking iron, The cab lit up brighter than I thought a single joint would shine against the glare of the cherries and berries.

We immediately got off the highway, took the first few turns we could and then parked in a driveway with all the lights off.

Two police cars drove down the street behind us with lights flashing but no sirens while we hunkered down trying to avoid being seen. We just kind of hid there for probably 40 minutes until we stop seeing police lights.

The police could learn to keep their distance and stop instigating violence. If you push people they’ll push back. If you’re armed expect them to not give you a chance to use your weapon.

The lesson here is let people do their peaceful protesting and you won’t necessitate violence.

This isn’t a right-wing protest, this crowd doesn’t want violence, it wants to be heard. This crowd is willing to use violence to ensure it’s right to be heard is preserved.

Until I can see some evidence that the unarmed crowd instigated violence against the armed police I’m going to consider the armed police to be the instigators since they showed up armed and then approached a crowd of people who were voicing their opinion.

Self-preservation is a morally acceptable reason to not do something unless a reasonable case can be made that you should do that thing.

It’s not cowardly to not throw your life away for no good reason. Unless he had a moral reason to go, he had a moral right to not go.

Conscription produces bad soldiers and it’s morally reprehensible to conscript soldiers to invade a country that does not pose a threat to you.

Not wanting to bomb brown people in the name of fascism is quite a far cry from being a coward.

Vietnam should not have been invaded. Not wanting to participate in that shit show is just a reasonable moral decision.

Yep that’s pretty fucking horrific.

I think that’s case closed.

If we’re done here can you turn off the lights on your way out?

What specifically did he say that was rationalizing anti-semitism?

Is it your belief that all anti-Zionism is anti-semitism?

Needs more red

She’s a woman and ‘the help’. I doubt they care what happens to her.

A friend of mine said she never received any proof of gender but was assigned a “magnificent cock” and decided what she did with it was her own fucking business.

In some ways the series is actually better than the books. I loved the books, but let’s be honest the characters are not very well written and the plot doesn’t flow very well.

I think the comparison with Asimov is apt in that both writers make sci-fi masterpieces, but are ass at writing people.

The TV series attempts to make the plot coherent and give the characters human personalities and plausible backstories. It does this while telling the whole story in a sort of linear fashion. If you like the book, give the (American) series a try. It’s fucking great.

The Chinese version drags on too long and censors out too much of the plot to make a coherent show IMO. FFS how do you censor the Chinese cultural revolution? Like what is left of the message without that?
