What about the extremely demotivated? It sounds like a good system but then the idea of being selected myself occurs to me and like, I’d rather die than have to do that job. People suck, and 1000 is a lot of people.

Nice thoroughly fleshed out idea though, youve obviously put a lot of thought into that. Props.

This makes me feel like a convention isn’t the right way to go while money still equals power in government. I’m not sure what the process for outlining how the convention would work would be, but I don’t think going in blind because it’s a nuclear option is a great idea.

Election is already rigged, the machines can be updated with space lasers.

Dude shut the fuck up. You think the kids of conservative families aren’t learning how to shoot younger than 15? It’s time to wake up and realize that firearms training and discipline is going to soon be boon to those who have it.

I mean it’s obviously DAN isn’t it? Who else insures divers?

I had pretty serious behavioral issues as a kid, mom put me on an exclusion diet designed by a kind of woo-y Dr, but I do think it helped. I guess people have lots of food “sensitivities” that might be tied to childhood behavior? I didn’t eat gluten, corn, milk, potatoes, tomatoes, and a bunch of less significant things for 18 months, than was reintroduced to those things slowly via tincture for 6 months. As an adult I still don’t really know what he was doing because the diagnosis involved holding 2 electrodes like an e meter but it did seem to have noticeable benefits to my behavior.

I have a reduced appetite as an adult because of medical conditions, so it’s difficult to tell because I have a hard time eating anyway. I don’t have any food aversions and if I’m hungry will eat most anything. But like the other reply to my comment said, it resulted in a lot of unpleasant dinners. I was on a behavioral diet most of my childhood as well so that had a factor in it all too. I think having a standard, boring “second choice” might be a good idea, but also definitely just communicate about what they like and don’t like, children are capable of reason just not always encouraged into the ability.

Don’t take no for an answer. What’s for dinner is what you get or you can go to bed hungry. My mom just didn’t put up with my bullshit and let me not eat my food if I didn’t want it but absolutely refused to let me have anything else until dinner was eaten. If I ate my dinner I could have whatever I wanted (in the house, which was pretty much all healthy food).

So?

As much as I understand that panhandling pays decently, it always really affects me to see someone who’s come to the point where that seems like the best option. If I had the money I would happily give them some, but unfortunately I rarely do. And I know that reenforces the behavior and I shouldn’t, but haven’t beggars always been a part of human culture? I’m not here to change that, I just want to be able to think I might have helped someone who needed it.

No but going to a protest with a slung rifle absolutely does. In a funny way the talking heads are right about the gun Pretti brought with him. They’re right about the wrong thing, but a concealed sidearm presents no message inherently by being concealed. CCW is for polite people in polite society. What we have now requires the same tactics the Panthers used, visible intimidation. A low ready or slung rifle is just as legal to carry as a pistol, but if there are 20 or 30 protesters carrying, ICE might consider not having a gun battle in the streets. And history shows that they tend to back down.
